Agreed'Stormdrum' is great!
Stimming is always good for a little wonkiness, 'Funkworm' is a monster if dropped right & the remix of 'Keep On' is still a massive favourite of mine.
He's difficult to link to - his myspace is useless and he seems only to have released "Liberty/The Sound" so far. I'll try to post a link to Maxwell D on "Liberty". "The Sound" is on Marcus Nasty's Rinse 10.
He has about 4 other tracks incl. "Dream" and some others whose names I don't know on THAT seminal Mak10/Shantie set.
"Dream" is the one that goes (surprise!) "DREAM!!!!" followed by massive bass stabs and what sounds like a drum machine having an epileptic fit. Generally speaking the sound is roughly in Lil' Silva territory but it's kinda like the (early) Dom & Roland to Lil' Silva's Ed Rush.
There's some uncertainty as to whether he alone is responsible for the productions or in cahoots with DJ Smoovie T - together they're called "Funk Factory". Their tracks usually start with a sample of a voice saying "Now Hear Dis (Hear Dis Hear Dis)" but it always sounds to me like "Whoiddit? (iddit? iddit?)".
Also there was an amazing Scotty D refix of Armand Van Helden's "Mother Earth" (female vocal "Destruction keeps happening!") on the Marcus vs Mak 10 Rinse set from last year. I've not heard it since, though I've heard a very similar track which just samples the "Keeps happening!" Not sure if this is them but it probably is.
who has heard Julio Bashmores mix of Mosca's "square #1". It's good, not better than the orig, but its a grower

Jam City's FACT mix is very good. i was quite impressed. it's a 320Anyone know where decent quality sets can be got from? I love rinse but 96kbps gets annoying after a while.
