4hero are a UK act based in Dollis Hill, North-West London. The main members of this group are Dennis ‘Dego’ McFarlane and Mark ‘Marc Mac’ Clair. As well as being a recording artists, they also run the Reinforced record label.
They are renowned as pioneers and frontrunners in jungle and drum and bass, and the group obtained a Mercury Music Prize nomination for their 1998 album Two Pages. Their style was initially uptempo breakbeat house and techno, and has progressed to hardcore, jungle, and drum ‘n’ bass. Comparisons have been drawn between them and East London band Shut Up and Dance, with both bands evolving in the early 1990s as a rapprochement between the breakbeat-driven African-diasporic musical structures of hip-hop and reggae, and the dark, European reconstruction of the techno sound popularised by the likes of Joey Beltram, CJ Bolland, and Mundo Muzique. 4hero both embraced the dynamics of populist rave culture, and maintained an avant-garde status as innovative and experimental producers. They trail blazed genre-crossing studio techniques like timestretching and pitch-shifting.

The default pic was uploaded by the Raw Canvas record label. So it won't change no matter how how many times it gets voted own, until Raw Canvas uploads a new one or deletes that one.

liquid funk? mostly everything done nowadays in dnb falls into that category: the Hospital Records albums, Dkay, the last Nookie album... Play With The Changes is not only broken beat, it's typical 4hero. So much typical that it has already worn out in my musical library, comparing it to the always growing Creating Patterns - just to mention 4hero albums and not other great Marc Mac/Dego works like the hiphop albums from the first and the 2000black/Silouhette Brown from the second...

Play With The Changes is very sweet music but it's obviously not drum n bass.I found two, maximum three songs in which the rhythm could be labeled dnb.Is there any album coming closer to the liquid funk(dnb)?
