Kid Drama has been a pivotal figure in the drum & bass scene for some time now, dropping both solo and collaborative EPs mainly on Exit records with welcome regularity. "Engram 1" is something new though, a single 15 minute track spontaneous assembled from a variety of sources which, although inescapably the work of a d&b master, incorporates elements of ambient and house, expertly cocooned in a shimmer of twinkling synths. It's a captivating listen and hopefully not the first time our Kid will try his hand at something different. Nic Brown
First heard these tracks on the heart drive podcast 04. This track sounds like two separate tracks mixed together through "links" one might say. Amazing arrangement and tasteful bitcrushing of drum sounds. This track made me think of the original nintendo games and brought me back to the days of 2D platforms with adventure. At the same time, this music is paradoxically futuristic. Amazing production on the whole album. You will forget you are listening to drumnbass, it's that good. Erik Hansen
