Between them Ben Settle and Matt Quinn have recorded for many of the leading drum and bass labels. Courted by Doc Scott's 31, Grooverider's Prototype and the Goldie-fronted Metalheadz the pair recorded a myriad of material between them before finally settling down in the closing months of 1997 to establish their own Virus imprint. Although originally at the very edge of production the Mac-crashing sonic visions created by the pair, more Iain Banks than Asimov in their sketched futurism, quickly grew to become a whole sub-genre in itself. This, their debut LP, contains a mass of exclusive material, with the punishing beats and growling basslines which defined their previous output kept a step ahead of the pack by way of a funk dynamic--obvious in the lo-fi swagger of "Primeval Soup" and barely audible though ever-present within the more straightforward dancefloor tracks. Wormhole successfully captures two producers at the very top of their game.--Kingsley Marshall
