Album Description
AK1200 At Close Range (4 Stars) URB Magazine An impressive glimpse at the future of drum & bass from America's own AK1200.(:\run recordings/Lakeshore) Fresh off the success of his debut artist album Shoottokill, America's own drum & bass don returns to the format that undoubtedly made his name: the mix-CD. While many mourn the demise of what was once the record industry's darling, AK proves that the mix-CD is still a viable way of reaching the masses. A packaged party-in-a-box, At Close Range is impressive not only because of the number of up-front tunes and seamless mixes, it's that age-old cliched `journey' at the core that make this an experience worth checking. Accessible to the neophyte and battle-hardened veteran alike, AK kicks things off with his signature hip-hop inspired urban beats before deftly maneuvering into deeper dancefloor territory. After inducing the trance with numerous anthemic vocal bits AK drops straight into the dark and nasty biz before easing up into head-nodding mode for the release. Still not convinced? Huge unreleased tunes from artists like Twisted Individual, Pendulum, D-Kay, Swift, and Dom & Roland make this an essential purchase if only to sneak a peek at what the future holds. Chris Muniz

 Attention D-n-B Fans!! April 4, 2009
Jonathan E. Alford (Deployed!)
As far as DNB Dj's go, AK1200 isn't as technical as Dieselboy, isn't as hardcore as Dara, and on this disc, his Florida (woot!) background shows through, with a lot of selections on this disc having a Florida-breaks type feel to them- melodic, vocal tracks with a bit of a breakbeat-meets-DNB edge. This is the THIRD time I've purchased this CD. It's that good.

I've heard all of AK1200's albums and many other Drum n' Bass artists, being a DnB fan, and I would agree that this is one of the better albums that you could find out there. Other great artists are Dieselboy, DJ Dara, Tipper, Baby Annne, DJ DB and pretty much any artist on Moonshine or Breakbeat Science.

When my friend first put this cd in his car, i wasnt expecting much. Im normally not a big fan of dnb, but rather trance and breaks. After about the 5th track, i was hooked. This album had me lovin dnb like it was my favorite genre. AK1200 mixes up his tracks so well with all kinds of tunes that are not repetitious nor drowning.
A very upbeat album with all the right twists in all the right places will keep you comin back and listening to this album anytime! Check out track 12: Pendulum - Spiral.
