DJAY ABEL
Drum Distortion
Djay abel compiles a stylishly tight
hardcore mix that takes risks with
samples and melodies to break up the relentlessly pounding beats.when
you least expect it, a track Will veer off into a melodic phrase or two
before bringing you back to a steady stream of bass lines and drums.
Dramatic angelic voices,tweaked out video game samples and the occasional
"fuck you" spice up this mix .GG
Mix-it review
URB MAGAZINE-June 2002

Overall review..
All I can say is this ain't
your typical Hardcore. DJay Abel rocks cause he
dares to get creative with hardcore and make the usually straight-forward and
full on style sound gorgeous and frisky as hell. Highly recommended for those
who can stand the heat!
Los Angeles hardcore DJay Abel
happened to send along a trancecore CD, T-Core 3000, he had
recently mixed up. The unfortunate thing is, the trancecore sound blows and
it blows hard.
In fact, the trancecore style blows dead goats and that's a perversion that
even the backwater
hicks of Alabama wouldn't even consider making legal.
But that's nothing against DJay
Abel. This kid still rocks - hard! In fact, his colossal
Los Angeles Hardcore is an ear-bleeding masterpiece, taking that evil, militant
pounding
that defines this powerful style and keeping it jarringly intense throughout
its one-hour
running time.
DJ Perpetrator's "World
Of Shit" grabs a handful of great samples from Kubrick's Full Metal
Jacket including a pivotal part where Vincent D'Onofrio so boldly states, "There's
only one
fucking sniper out there."
And like that deadly shooter,
DJay Abel has his fingers locked on the trigger, itching to
pick off as many motherfuckers as possible.
Still, even that bloody affair
is nothing admirable in comparison to the opening moments of
Abel's Audio 909 where an ancient Hitchcock film score gets mixed into a very
meticulous
gulf of work on DJ Attic & DJ Stylzz' "Emphasis On Hardcore."
Gasp, is it true, hardcore can honestly be art? Well, I'll be damned.
The bass always creates a wall
of suffocation on Audio 909 but this air tight mix has structure
and surprises galore. With The Viper & Mad E Fact bad-ass funky "The
Beats The Sukers Wish They
Had," AC DJ & Bike DJ's double-headed monsters on "Loop Bass"
and "Drum Compressor," and DJ Dione's
surprising light and dark contrast on "Darkness & Brightness"
and those so-sweet vocals against the
bombastic territory of "Low Down," this is perhaps Abel's finest mix
work.
And if you think that's crazy
enough to make you rethink all those generalizations about all
hardcore being just about the same kind of terrorizing madness, just get an
earful of Drum Distortion
where Abel pushes the envelope to its gorgeous extreme. If ever one thing could
be described as hectic
serenity than this riled-up land of peace is that locale.
All that T-Core 3000 fails to
be, Drum Distortion is in abundance. Hard, invigorating, inspiring and
blazingly comforting in all the ways, overall, that makes DJay Abel himself
such an unforgettable talent.

Yes!!!
This is some seriously stomping hardcore. The stuff that folks over on mainland
Europe listen while eating breakfast.145 bpms of raw power, with a incessant
909 kick
to keep your roll going. But wait, this was recorded in los angeles. Dayum.
Being a mid west cat ,
i didn't know west coasters got down like this.I thought they just listened
to wallpaper house
and dolphin jungle .Oh yeah , and trance. Lots of trance. This oould have just
as easily been coming
out of frankie bone's crate in the storm rave days . So i guess hardcore techno
is a lot like metal , it
kinda just pops up all over.
