Though known mainly for rough dubstep compositions, Broken Note have turned in a top notch breakcore record here that no dj should be without. Both tracks are fairly similar and what you can expect is pounding repetition that gets right to the heart of what hardcore is. This is the kind of stuff that I can see setting off a moshpit: not too fast and not too technical, just straight pounding, headbanging fight music. This record is one of the best examples of what I think is one of the most promising areas in breakcore today. I've heard it called skullstep but I just think of it as hardcore drum and bass. A step beyond Technical Itch and Limewax, basically breakcore producers taking the best sensibilities of drum and bass but dropping all the generic bullshit and replacing it with the aggression of gabber and the varied programming of breakcore. It looks like Damage is back on top with this one.

You're right mate although for me these sort of sounds joins more the hard drum and bass sounds of Panacea limewax etc etc rather than break core , coz it grooves a lot more .. Still is a fat ep !!
