The initial release of this compilation featuring Drum & Bass and Big Beat tracks, which I produced under my pseudonym "TDJ Rome," is now 20 years old. Many of you know that I played this sound as a DJ from 2000 to 2004 in some of Berlin's renowned clubs such as WMF, Pfefferberg, Rosi's, Glasshaus, Kulturbrauerei, and others. Since the mid-90s, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Breakbeat, and Big Beat have fascinated me, and they still do.

For those who want to take a trip back in time to a musical world where we still produced with samplers that had only 64MB of RAM, shamelessly used sampling CDs, and early versions of voice pitching, this release is a must. This wild mix of Lo-Fi sounds and uncompromising approach will surely captivate once again.

Of course, I have freshly remastered all tracks and, as always, added a few bonus tracks—three of which are previously unreleased.

The two tracks by Ethereal 77, which were included on the original version of this compilation, have been omitted for licensing reasons. However, the original CD version from 2004 may still be available on various internet portals. This also applies to the 12" EP's which were released in the years 2000 - 2001. I still have a few of them in my warehouse, maybe I'll offer them here in the merchandise section at some point.
