after over a year in the making, xilent finally releases his highly anticipated debut album, *we are virtual*.

>facing forwards< and >who can say?< is the second single to be taken from talis hotly anticipated forthcoming second album >dark days, high nights< which features collaborations with benny page, dirtyphonics, shimon, skism, ed rush, atlantic connection, and lynx to name but a few. the album is released on shimons much hyped new label audio porn, which after little over 10 releases, has become one of the most talked about labels in drum and bass, dubstep and beyond with releases from the likes of camo and krooked, dirtyphonics, xilent, shimon, ram trilogy and of course tali herself.

shimons audio porn takes a side step for its 11th release. dropping the vocal dubstep bomb that is >dark days< by ed rush and tali. flip it over and tali teams up with dirtyphonics for some more down tempo beats. both riddims rock, you would expect nothing less from the man behind virus and one of the most exciting dnb acts to appear in the last few years.

pendulumesque riffs, twisted bassline and half tempo breaks all combine to create a devastating bone cruncher of a tune. on the flip lottery, the guys come with a dnb growler incorporating electro riffs and dubstep bassline creating a memorable stand out tune. this latest release will only see their rep increase for their unique spin on the current dnb sound.

a quality selection of treats from the bouncy eurofunk stylings of new signings dirtyphonics or the tali assisted the secret, to shimons own lightspeed - where he teams up with austrian producer, dj disaszt for a futuristic beats & bass tear out that is reminiscent of his old ram days, which leads nicely to the amazing asylum, produced by shimon, ant miles and andy c under their ram trilogy moniker and keeps to the bubbling, sci-fi sound that they were famous for all those years ago. essential!
