Long before the birth of jump-up, the Cybotron LP, and the Valve Soundsystem, drum & bass producers Dillinja and Lemon D were well revered for crafting deep and melodic grooves between 1995 and 1997. Subphonic was one of the few releases that managed to make the cut to Grooverider's highly esteemed label Prototype in 1997, backed with the equally deep "Going Gets Tough" on the reverse. This tune takes a variety of cues from jazz and house, with it's rhodes and rolling breaks. It may sound simple on the surface, but as per the course, there is plenty of subtle drum edits and movements in the pads that keep this tune interesting. A perfect definition of the sound that was favored at the Blue Note club in London when the Metalheadz crew threw their night there during the mid 1990s!
