    • Interview: DJ Clever – Leftfield DnB Goes Offshore..

      by The Lotus Queen

      ..Mr. Cleaver is the man behind NYC’s Offshore Recordings. Offshore is unmistakably coming out with unique leftfield sounds that set it apart from the drum n’ bass “norms”. I had a chance to ask him a few burning questions.

    • Audio Rant #2

      by Crom

      ..you wanna become one of the technical elite. You want to jump into some technical institute , grab as much computer knowledge as you can, and then shuck off the current pathetic job you have and make big bucks as a technician. You figure that a few months of intense computer training will imbibe you with the knowledge and experience you need to make you the kind of techie that companies the world over will thirst for..

    • In the Beginning…

      And Jean said, “Let the government in Canada be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 Jean called the dry ground “Ottawa,” and the dismissed the rest he called “the West” And Jean saw that it was good..

    • Large, and in Charge.

      by Crom

      Obviously people do drugs in order to gain an edge, but I personally would rather hone an edge through blood and sweat. I’ve seen varied opinions about juice over the years, those that swear by it claiming that there are no ill effects to proper usage, those who curse its name, and those who’ve become lesser men and women for their transgressions. I’m going to set the record straight.

    • Military Service

      by The Macleod

      Forget the drunken driving charge from 1976, his refusal to deny having tried any illegal drugs prior to 1974, or the talk of insider trading in the late 1980s. Bush’s military record puts them all to shame in painting a picture of an unfit and criminal president..

    • Rip. Mix. Burn. Lame.

      by Crom

      In their haste to scoff at internet distribution of albums because of the supposed lack of guaranteed funds, they were backdoored in the pooper by us, the music hungry masses..

    • Ninja Tune & Synchronic Records: Saul Williams

      by Ninja Tune

      Since Saul Williams recorded debut, “Twice The First Time,” this young blood poet, MC and actor/director from America has impressed the world with skilful words and the moral and political weight of his views.

    • Game: Unreal 2

      by Crom & D4V

      D4V: After a 7 month hiatus of the tag team review, we are back in full force as a special treat for the inauguration of issue 3.0. However, we couldn’t have picked a shittier game to review than Unreal 2.
      Crom: Truly, most special events have something worthwhile to talk about. Sadly, we managed …

    • Digital Camera: Canon S30

      by David Gluzman

      After 3 long years with a suffering Toshiba digital camera, I finally got my hands on a compact and stylish next-gen Camera by Canon. Regardless that this camera is already getting dated, it still gets the job done extremely well.
      Sporting a powerful 1/1.8-inch 3.2 megapixel CCD, combined with 3x optical (10x digital) zoom lens, …

    • A Night in With Boy George: A Chillout Mix

      by Dijita

      Let’s back up to August 2002, out from Moonshine records comes a mixed compilation by Boy George titled “A Night Out with Boy George”. Overall the best way I could describe it as is techno house; loud with lots of heavy beats, and in my opinion a fairly obnoxious mix of sounds. Fast-forward to October …

    • Lightning Head – Studio Don

      by a parallel mechanic

      Na-na-na-na-na-nice…like beans & rice…
      Put out by the German label Best Seven, who blessed us with the “Dub Infusions” and “More Dub Infusions” compilations, “Studio Don” is an excellent debut LP from former Rockers Hi-Fi producer Glyn (bigga) Bush. Though it took my southern-Californian arse a few months to even realize that this record was on …

    • Xperience: Drum & Bass

      by David Gluzman

      I was really excited to sit down and listen to this album, over and over again. This album compiled by Dj Clever is the definition of great Drum and Bass. Hard hitting bass lines, wavering vocals, and mix that together with some sick mixing skills and you have something that’s sure to please.
      The “Xperience” line …

    • It’s not about Oil Stupid

      by MaxPower

      IF the US is going to war over the economics of oil, then they should hire some new economists. It just doesn’t make sense. The expense of shipping over 150,000 troops to the Middle East for a couple years, plus all of the jet fuel expenditures, bombs used etc, will cost upwards of a trillion dollars over 2 years..

    • Xperience – Club Mix

      by David Gluzman

    • This is One Whacky Gameshow

      by Crom

      ..everything has become a state of apprehension again. People walk around their daily lives, afraid. Afraid not only of a threat of terrorists and dictators, but of their own government..

    • TV Crap

      by David Gluzman

      ..that compilation CD of the best smooth rock of the 80’s looks really tempting, yet what the hell is going on with their pricing!? A Canadian company, on Canadian television, yet has the audacity to sell in AMERICAN dollars?!

    • Tax Me Not to Fly

      by MaxPower

      The Nav-Ins-Fuel fee bugs me a bit more, why do I have to pay a navigation fee to Nav Canada to provide navigation to the plane? Don’t my federal income taxes or the plane fare cover that? And Insurance? I understand the ramifications of Sept 11th on insurance companies but shouldn’t that be incorporated into re-insurance schemes rather than user pay? And Fuel..

    • Political Accoutrement

      by Crom

      we have the leader of the free world, embarrassing us once again. The whole socio/political world loves to include itself into the pop world. In obvious attempts to crack open the minds of the people and slip in under their radar as yet another of the Hollywood / Madison Avenue produced gems we all fall to our knees and worship with regular frequency..

    • The wandering thoughts of a nursery-hand

      by TDJ

      What I mean is that people who don’t take personal responsibility of their own situation, their own actions, will never be happy with their station in life. This is because it’s never their fault..

      by David Gluzman

      Here are some predictions that I’m making up purely on a spur of the moment whim..

    • What’s Up With This Weather?

      by MaxPower

      Basically its all blamed on humans because we can’t predict weather 24 hours in advance let alone weeks or years. All we have is historical data. And if you live in the ‘New World’ maybe you have 150 years of historical weather data, if your lucky. More often than not, people are basing what is ‘normal’ on 0.00000003% of the Earth’s history..

    • The United States of America can kiss my ass

      by Crom

      the American people elected a fucking cowboy to office. They put their fate into the hands of a man I wouldn’t trust with an elastic gun. A man who had the temerity to state he didn’t discount the possibility of using nuclear weapons against countries that have weapons of mass destruction..

    • The Osbournes

    • U. S. S. R you stupid?

      by Crom

      If I was a farmer and you showed up and said “Hey McDonald, why don’t you fork over your potato crop to the G man so we can redistribute it to the masses, and we’ll give you this nifty blanket and tin of coffee” Jesus. You better hope I don’t have a shotgun handy, or a shovel. I’d drop an anvil on your head.

    • CNN Under Fire

      by The Macleod

      Crossfire implies that Americans must make a choice between the two political parties. Unfortunately with these parties it seems like a clear-cut case of pick your poison..

    • Us and Them

      by MaxPower

      North Korea recently said they are making nukes to try and take over the world, yet US spokespeople have reiterated time and time again that they are willing to talk to North Korea and establish a better dialogue. But some Chretien Yes-Woman called Bush a moron – end of the world.

    • Crom feat. Whoever is popular this week?
