Drop the Lime
We Never Sleep CD
TigerBeat 6

Review:
This album is unlike any you've heard before. Combining elements of House, Hip Hop, UK Garage/Grime and even some B-more club music, New York's Drop the Lime (L. Venezia) has produced a new set of dance-floor explorations that make you really feel the music. Infused with these bass heavy club bangers are DTL's seductive voice and lyrics, spawning a new method of dance-floor destruction. Heavily influenced by recent stays in Berlin and the UK, Venezia has built upon his roots in the NY underground/ break-core scene to develop his own original flavor of booming party tracks for the amazing San Fransisco label Tigerbeat6. Really, Drop the Lime reminds us all that electronic music can make you fall in love with the mystery of an artist's soul... and still want to dance your ass off in the club.

Bio:
Born and Raised in New York City, Drop The Lime (L., Venezia), continues his global rise in the underground Dance music scene. Ever evolving in style and ahead of the game, expect four to the floor bangers spiked with Grime and growling bass Techno, while he drops jaws to the floor with his bad boy Sinatra vocals. Venezia grew up in New York City's underground rave scene, drawn to the high energy of Jungle and Drum & Bass. He began performing under the alias Drop The Lime in 2003, exploding into the punk electronic scene known as Break-core, gaining an underground iconic status. DTL released numerous International singles and EP's on high profile labels like Ambush, Peace Off, Broklyn Beats, Mirex, and his infamous 2005 debut, "This Means Forever," on Tigerbeat6. From Break-core's hyper-kinetic beats and DJ'ing heavy bass music from Grime to Baltimore Club and 4x4, DTL took a floor shattering step into a club massive sound. [more]
