Here at em we like it dirty, as long as it’s done with conviction. Co-Star deliver some evil axe-wielding, a bass sound Mike Tyson would be proud of, and harmonies not even the Pistols would dare to emulate. Two minutes of pure pleasure.

A splendid track of note for its catchy central riff and soft beguiling vocal with a Ryderesque edge. Not to mention the message, with which we here at em towers can utterly concur.

What a find this was. An absolutely tearing drum & bass tune, with a truly fiendish synth b-line, and a real rolling frenzy of drum programming, slickly produced by the up & coming Daze, whose tunes can often be heard rocking em towers round the clock..

Another absolute gem in a cynical industry. Could this be about that great ambassador of Britpop? Mother knows best, indeed...

Well said, Cats. Whatever you think of it, you just have to get out your air guitar and hairbrush-microphone and join in with this complete and utter bloody masterpiece.

Devastatingly perfect trance with a refreshing North African angle. Frankly terrifying.
