More snares

I knew about the Scattered Snares CD reading the Techno Rebels website (number two of year 2002 list). I learned it was compiled by Marc Mac (one half of 4Hero). I already had some 4Hero productions (and Jacob's Optical Stairway, and Tom & Jerry, and Queen Mecca ...). I knew the collaboration/remixes of 4Hero with people like Juan Atkins or Nuyorican Soul.
I had to buy the CD! And ... when I listened to it, all my expectations were met ... and surpassed.
Many different artists with one thing in common: break genres.
And that's what 4hero has always been good at. And that was the initial point of Drum'n'bass before it got stuck by the form constraints. Mix different things (techno, reggae, hip hop, hardcore ...) explore new fields, break the limits.
