Excellent crispy-fried nu-breaks and sizzling synthesis!

From the moment I tore open the package, I knew I had something special. Druu's new release is polished in every facet.
It might seem minor, but nothing pleases me more than an indie artist dropping a nicely packaged product on the world. Rarely have I picked up an indie release with poor graphics and packaging and found it to contain killer tracks. Sorry, just a fact. The artist's aesthetic and personal standard shines through, yes, even with the packaging. Druu has put together a world-class looking CD jacket. The photos, front and back, suggest, "this guy is serious about the science he's about to drop on you."
Inside the jacket reads, "Sub-Urban is voyage through city and space, built from Breakbeat grooves, 4-on-the-floor mayhem and Drum 'n Bass energy that will make you bob your head, shake your butt and drive too fast. Turn it up and never stop moving!"
ALL TRUE. ABSOLUTELY.
If you like clean, sophisticated nu-school breaks, Druu's programming is gonna knock you out. He occasionally tips his hat to the greats before us, but for the most part the sound is distinctly his and consistent throughout the EP. Occasionally, he gets a little aggressive at times with cutting, buzzing leads (Fever likey!), but for the most part you will find his beats highly accessible and more groovy than thrashing - a good thing for most listeners, I am sure. Yes, this is a very accessible and hospitable sound.
Seven excellent tracks packaged perfectly. Highly recommended.
