The DB Sound

"DB always has a very distinct sound. He does not stray from that sound on Breakbeat Exercises 4. Opening with a production from Stakka and himself, DB takes us on a journey with deep and chill drum and bass tracks. My personal favorites include DB and Stakka's "Groupies", Stakka's remix of "Liquification", and Peter K's lovely "Saturnine". It's a great cd for listening at home and although these tracks aren't floor-stompers, any drum and bass fan will truley appreciate DB's love for good tunes. Not to mention that this cd has not left my cd player since it came out a week ago. Go buy it!!"
Surprisingly awesome

"I bought the album for 2 reasons.
1: I bought Dj DB's:The secret art of science and liked it.
2: The album art and cover looked really cool.
Well this album is more than just a pretty face. It's a real rock solid album. I really like the range of sounds that are explored in this album. DB and Stakkas tracks are some of the really high points of the album (especially the last track). I was really surprised how different this was from the other DJ DB album I own. Don't get me wrong The Secret art of Science is great, it's just that after a while a majority of the tracks seem like they are just filler. With this album each track has it's own unique sound and vibe that really do an awesome job of creating a "journey" of an album.
But what I really dug the most was the album art. I really like the use of color and art style. The CD itself looks awesome.
Great looks and killer sound, you really can't do any better!"
A real journey

"This is a truly excellent dnb mix by DJ DB. Exercise 004 takes you on a wonderful dnb journey. DB & Stakka's Groupies and Spaghetti along with Pieter K's Saturnine are choice dnb tracks. Highly recommended along with all the other BBS Exercises."
