BOOM KAT REVIEW June 2004
"Call it Grime, Sublow, Dubstep, Dirty Garage, call it whatever you want, this is the sound of a new school of Urban producers grabbing the electronic music scene by the balls and generously launching it into the filthiest environment "dance music" has ever witnessed. This hugely hyped and anticipated new compilation from Rephlex centres on the work of three of the UK's most on-it grimey producers : Mark One, Plasticman, and the Slaughter Mob."
