Vortex - HTID in The Sun - The Harder They Come - 2008

IllbadillTekk

303 Degrees

After making serious noise as part of Volatile Cycle, Project Zeus lands on Murmuration with one of his strongest offerings to date — Echelon, a heavy-weight collaboration with the very outfit he helped define.

This track captures exactly what Project Zeus is all about: high-impact, technically sharp, and rooted in the darker ends of drum & bass. Cinematic tension gives way to a tightly layered, aggressive drop full of distorted low-end, frenetic movement, and crisp detail. There’s no filler here — just focused, driving energy that reflects years of experience and a fresh creative direction.

As one of the early releases under the new alias, Echelon makes a clear statement: Project Zeus is here to push things forward — no compromise, all weight.


Project Zeus & Volatile Cycle - Echelon [Murmuration Records]

Always said I would do a tribute mix to dolphins Human Nature set. Here it is. Dolphin played some blinding trance sets over the years and although they were a little on the darker trance side, they still had their place.He played this set on 6th June 1998
