Smooth Straight To The Point.......2007-02-19

Jazz at it's finest, smooth, straight to the point excellent to work and listen too. Chill out, boop the head, superb distant driving music. Kem is a great artist. Do not ever stop dreaming your creativity is right on the money.

Remarkable, Smooth & Soulful.......2007-02-15

Kem's album "Kemistry" is one of the very few CD's that I enjoy listening from start to finish. I don't believe there is one bad song on this album. The song, "Love Calls" is a favorite among my friends and most others, but the one song, "Say" is just as beautiful.

If you like jazzy, smooth music that touches your soul, you will definitely love this CD. Very Good & Very Sexy Music for Grown Ups.

Great music.......2007-01-08

I have two of Kem's albums. This one is my favorite, but I truly like his second album too. I am definitely a fan of Kem's music. This is the type of music that will never get outdated and will sound great in any era.

EXCELLENT.......2007-01-05

This product is an EXCELLENT choice for anyone who is interested. I suggest it for all to buy and see for themselves. It is definitely one to have.

WHAT A DEBUT ALBUM.......2006-11-07

I remember first seeing the video "Love Calls" on BET a few years ago and i thought it was a nice song. However, when i bought the album in February 2004, i was amazed by what i was hearing. KEM has mad talent and serious skills. I saw him perform live in Raleigh, N.C last September and his music speaks for itself. His performance was great, but when he did the song "Say", i really felt the emotion and was speechless. That is my favorite song on the CD, but honestly, all of the songs are terrific. This album is definately for "mature" listeners only. His second album is really good so make sure you buy that one when you buy this one. I can't wait for his 3rd album cause i know it be as good as the first two.

When Kemi Olusanya, one half of the jungle DJ duo Kemistry & Storm, died in a car accident on April 25, 1999, she took a big chunk of drum & bass history with her. Along with partner Storm, in '92 Kemistry first convinced Goldie to check out Grooverider and Fabio's legendary hardcore night at Rave, the birthplace of jungle. Goldie launched his Metalheadz label soon after, and Kemistry did a lot of the day-to-day management and helped discover such breakbeat microsurgeons as Photek and Adam F.

Kem & Storm's status as torchbearers--not to mention as superb mixers--meant they had access to dub plates and advance promos before most jungle DJs did. But their insider standing is a little too apparent on DJ Kicks, which finds them hewing closer to the jungle party line than most parties might like. Program your player to infinite loop, and you can start listening any place you want--at track 1, Dom & Roland's impressively gloomy "Trauma"; at track 9, Decoder's impressively gloomy "Stash"; or at track 12, John B's impressively gloomy "Pressure." It really doesn't matter. Wherever you start, wherever you finish, you'll wind up in the same condition: impressed, and, sure enough, slightly gloomy. The tracks compiled here, though expertly woven together, abide by the relentless march so much of the music has become. Every track is excellent in its own right--who can argue with Dillinja, DJ Die, or J Majik?--and in fact no CD offers a better snapshot of big-label jungle circa 1998. But the surprise, innovation, and good times you'll find on some of the music's second-tier labels aren't here. That doesn't make DJ Kicks bad--in its own monochromatic way it's quite bracing--but it does make it an unsatisfactory swan song for one of jungle's great figures. --Jeff Salamon

Album Description

Kemistry and Storm, London's internationally celebrated DJ duo lead the ongoing reinvention of rhythm that is drum 'n' bass. Every week, somewhere in the clubs and dancehalls of the planet, cosmopolitan youth are dancing to their set, shadowboxing with the breaks, rolling with the bass pressure, living life at the low end. Outside, it's unsteady, unsure, but in here, in the mix, you feel safe and you feel dangerous. Since the Metalheadz Sunday Sessions, way back in London late 95, Storm and Kemistry have been fascinated by the gravity of the sounds, the dynamics of drum 'n' bass. Emotionally, the temperature is anxious, compressed. K7. 2002.

This is how it's done.......2003-09-18

One of the few DJ mix CD's that has stood the test of time for me, I initially bought this mix after seeing Kemistry & Storm in Washington DC a week or so before the tragic car accident.

After Kemistry's death it became something different.

I've since become a hardcore drum'n'bass fanatic and I can honestly say that the best DJ's are the ones who can MIX.
Kemistry & Storm were innovators and it really comes through with this caustic and bracing 74 minute set. They never sought recognition for their track selection, yet the selection here is superb with now classics like "Clear Skies" by DJ Die, "Hyeana" by Goldie, and "Uneasy" by Jonny L. What they wanted to convey with this mix CD was a moment in time when Drum N Bass was still very volitile and experimental. They wanted to showcase the brilliant tension and precision that these tracks produce and demand of the listener. You see, its all about the MIX, and so few DJs truly understand this. LTJ Bukem, Randall, Bailey, Dieselboy and Grooverider are the other masters of this style. What made these 2 Metalheadz DJs the best of the best was championed with their extremely difficult 'double impact' style of mixing. 'Double Impact' is achieved when all of the beats, basslines and harmonies line up and are released all at once. The beats and the basslines from both records drop at the same time and you get double the impact. What should happen is that in the middle of the mix, a 3rd tune should come out of the first 2; and should only exist because of the first 2. If you want to understand what true mixing is about then pay attention to the transitions that take place in tracks 1-8. This CD is a definate must have for any potential junglist out there, and especially for the DJ who wants to learn to tell a story, and not just play a bunch of tunes.

Masters at Work!.......2003-08-16

After hearing Roni Size, DJ Krust, Amon Tobin, and a few others I feel that this cd stands up to any of these fine artist. Kemistry & Storm have put together a musical journey for serious listeners of this genre. It is a dense sound that takes no prisoners and rightly so, since anything less does no justice to this art form. Though I've heard of very few of the artist on this cd, the fact that I was still able to enjoy the music is to me a testament to the mixing skills of these two.
Every track has a mood to it, and though you may not like the mood it's certainly not trashy and vulgar(anyone heard little Kim lately?) and straight ahead jungle beats, with the exception of the Sci-clone remix "Everywhere I Go". I was sorry to hear of the death of Kemistry(it seems that we always loose the best and brightest too early)and while this may be the only cd they've done together it is worth the money and time to listen.

forboding.......2002-02-26

This is the best dark drum n bass mix I have ever heard. Listening to this well formed mixed brought me from the sidelines to trying my own hands at the decks. From begining to end, this mix takes you a journey which is something many mixes never do... yeah it is a cliche but it is true. Listening to this... you want to be a in a club, packed in, with low blue lights. All you can see are those few headz around you and some this mix pounding your ears.

buy it now.

Please spare my dog..........2002-01-31

"As sluggish as wet cement yet as treacherous as quicksand, digital rhythm is industrialized to extreme densities, processed past the timbral spectrum of metal, reinforced to the tonecolour of concrete. Bass is synthesized from analogue frequencies..."

and so it goes on

Its impressive enough that someone could write such nonsense, but to include it in the sleeve notes is a spectacular achievement.

So, what do we really have here?

This is a drum & bass mix. But what kind? Think of witches (indulge me for a moment!). There are good witches, who cast love spells and the like, and there are evil witches, who do bad things such as turning princes into frogs.

Good drum & bass would be LTJ Bukem (check out his outstanding Logical Progression series), with his intelligent samples, delicate motifs and a focus on melody. Evil drum & bass would be...

...well, it would be this CD. This mix is the clearly the devil's work, but the involvement of the cloven-hooved one is no bad thing. In this instance, the opposite of good is not bad.

This quality of the mix is top notch, and if you fancy driving your car at 120mph while your ears bleed, this is certainly one for you.

Dark, brooding, dangerous and evil. And really quite splendid.

Kemistry & Storm may look sweet enough on the cover, but they will kick down your door and shoot your dog if you so much as glance at them!

one of the better collections out there (another good one is grooverider pure dnb 2). the strength/weakness is that almost all the tracks sound the same. personally i like this consistency-- they maintain nice tight atmospherics and keep the rhythm pounding. i especially like the tracks that incorporate snippets of NON-DIVA-ISH vocals, e.g. the haunted voice midway through the mix muttering "now things are closing in..." Closing in is the right phrase, this is a claustrophobic skittering set with tension & no release. nice tracks from bill riley, john b, digital & spirit, & the usual metalheadz suspects. kemistry died a few years back in a tragic auto accident, but she won't be forgotten. peace
