'MDZ02'
(METALHEADZ)
6LP/2CD
(AUGUST 2002)
Legendary
drum’n’bass label Metalheadz release their newest
compilation ‘MDZ.02’, featuring all exclusive tracks
from today’s greats in the drum’n’bass scene.
Possibly the most popular
drum’n’bass label, Goldie’s Metalheadz Records unleash the
next in the series of their anticipated compilations, and follows the
‘Metalbox’ from a few years back with a round up of artists who are
currently carrying the credentials to record for this highly regarded label.
This also follows last year’s ‘Platinum Breaks 3’ compilation for Pete
Tong’s FFRR label.
Metalheadz Records
is a label that always looks to push the boundaries, taking people on a
completely unique musical journey. Founded in 1993 by Goldie and
long-time friend Doc Scott, the idea was simple – a label that had no
sound and an endless catalogue of timeless tracks…
‘MDZ.02’ features all
exclusive tracks, and this collection encompasses the full spectrum of the
drum’n’bass scene at present from the melodic (Marcus Intalex,
Invaderz) to the tech-steppy (Spirit, Loxy & Ink) to the
techno (Teebee) to the deep (Klute, Hidden Agenda) with
plenty of dancefloor goodness (Jonny L, Future Cut, Sonic &
Silver, Total Science, and Usual Suspects).
Selected by Goldie who set
the label up with Doc Scott back in 1993, the album is available on
six-piece DJ-friendly vinyl and double CD set, including one CD unmixed and
one CD mixed (courtesy of Goldie with additional tracks). Without a
doubt, ‘MDZ.02’ is going to be the drum’n’bass compilation of the
year!
“A brave and forward-thinking
episode – drum’n’bass from a master clan..” (Jockey Slut).
