Twisted Despairs (Serve & Destroy / Groove Attack) - 2001

This Album can be considered the "Evil Twin-Brother" of "Twisted Repairs". It is the effort of the artist himself to perform a remixed variation of Twisted Repairs. Bob Humid intended to make "Twisted Despairs" sound as if the original album would have been remixed in a far away future and brought to present times by mysterious ways of time-travel. Therefore it leaves the paths of abstract Drum'n'Bass totally while serving a wild and eclectical mix of electronic genres, heavily covered under a lot of DSP-Processing and hundreds of layers of effects and filtering-techniques.


Second Wind Phenomenon (Suburban Trash / Serve & Destroy) - 2006
