Editor's review
It’s been almost ten years since Bristol's king of jazzy drum 'n' bass, Roni Size, rocked the world with his "New Forms" album (which also won him the infamous Mercury Prize). Size and his Reprazent crew are to d'n'b as Elvis was to rock 'n' roll, churning out solid songs that are bass heavy, hip-hop influenced, and melodic...but with a kick-ass mean streak.
