This was one of the key releases that propelled the dubstep/grime sound into media for the first time. BOOMKAT had this to say about the album: "Call it Grime, Sublow, Dubstep, Dirty Garage, call it whatever you want, this is the sound of a new school of Urban producers grabbing the electronic music scene by the balls and generously launching it into the filthiest environment "dance music" has ever witnessed. This hugely hyped and anticipated new compilation from Rephlex centres on the work of three of the UK's most on-it grimey producers : Mark One, Plasticman, and the Slaughter Mob."

DJ ODI
Konkrete Jungle, New Amsterdam, BFM // New York City, NY
Wearing a brown wool sweater and a pair of glasses, Carlos Castillo or DJ Odi as he is known to the world, does not look like the type to have a group of beautiful women fawning over him. And yet, there are several that I have to get through to talk to him. People murmur ‘respect’ as we walk outside. Their admiration is not underserved. Odi, is in great part responsible for the entire style of jungle music in NYC. Fans would argue that it was not only the position but the skills that propelled Odi and his DJ crew, Digital Konfusion, into the underground limelight. Their way of mixing jungle beats with Hip Hop has grown into its own genre. ‘Jump up’ has been the defining style of NYC and the east coast in general since 97, when the crew formed their own eponymous record label and began spinning at NYC’s most dedicated weekly jungle show: Konkrete Jungle. Odi rapidly became a fixture, while continuing to travel the country, one of the first few to enjoy such popularity. Eventually Odi caught the ears of Malik Shabazz, the international spokesman for the respected Hip Hop society Zulu Nation. Shortly, he initiated Odi in 03, making the Harlem native the first junglist to enter the organization. ‘I really respected the work that they did,’ says Odi. ‘And I try not to talk or brag about it, but it’s a very big honor.’ Odi and his record label remained prolific in the recent year, DJing constantly while putting out a mix CD and producing for multiple other artists. His clothing line, Methods NYC is putting out a line of urban fashion inspired by the Jungle subculture. The next step for Odi is his upcoming artist’s album and taking his music online for digital distribution. But most of all, he would just like to continue playing, unconstrained by genre.
