This is an odd one, because it sounds like DJ music - especially with the repetitive dance beat that underlies all the music - but there are tons of people listed inside as co-collaborating performers, including Pat Phalen, Mr. Mixx, and Spence Townsend. So I guess it's not really DJ music in the strict technical sense, and really sounds more like a combo between acid jazz and house music, if I had to define it. Even though I'm pretty much burned out on most dance music at this point, I like this disc, because it tries to do neat things with unexpected sounds, throwing in really cool slap bass here, spooky piano refrains in another spot, lots of scratching, lots of nice jazz guitar work, all sorts of crazy percussion, etc., etc.
