Widely credited as one of the originators of the UK breakbeat scene, Adam Freeland is the latest entry in DMC's Back To Mine series. DMC, launched in 1983, is the worlds largest DJ organization and were the original publishers of Mixmag, the worlds largest dance music magazine. DMC began compiling mix tapes in the early 90s. 20 years later, DMCs Mixmag Presents series has released compilations from the cream of dance DJs. DMCs premier series, Back to Mine, was set up in early 1999 and originally featured big name DJs playing what theyd play if you went back to their house after a set in a club. Since then, the series has diversified to include volumes from bands and artists. It has won critical acclaim worldwide and has so far featured selections from Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Danny Tenaglia, Groove Armada, Faithless, Everything But The Girl, Talvin Singh, Morcheeba, MJ Cole, Orbital, New Order, The Orb, and Death in Vegas.

The gunholders of Versatile Records are back with a new compilation. They saved their most deadly cartridges for this total overkill record of exclusive remixes, some of which are available on CD for the very first time. They open the album with a shot straight to the head: "Silent Distance" is a classy pop track remixed by I:Cube featuring Clara Hill's beautiful vocals. Then comes the UFO manga-style track "Ongaku" which blends Chateau Flight's unique electro dub touch to the surprising vocals of shibuya girls, Paris Japanese Choir. Joakim presents us his latest dancefloor killer, the hypnotic "I Wish You Were Gone," haunted by the spook of Ian Curtis and sung by Joakim himself. Then the very trippy remix of "Superflight" by Maurice Fulton comes as a necessary recess before full electronic fire with tracks "Rumours" by As One (aka Kirk Degeorgio), "Arp Surface" and "Chicago Sur Seine" by I:Cube, or "Surface And Submerge" by Basic Soul Unit. At last, the very cosmic track "Taurus" extracted from I:Cube's Live at the Planetarium waves a white flag to finish off the compilation. 2006.
