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.
Twisted
4hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's captured in my soul
Crazy things you're doing
You know, I'm losing control
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes over
Leaves my body shaking
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my mind torn
I'm twisted
Can't believe what you've done to me
Twisted on your love
Can't believe you're making love to me
I'm pushed to the limit
Strained against the wall
Driving deeper inside
Till you reach my heart
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my body shaking
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my mind torn
I'm twisted
Can't believe what you've done to me
Twisted on your love
Can't believe you're making love to me

A Skeleton that is both Spooky and Scary
The song exists in a place all on its on, it’s like a lonely masterpiece. To say it sounds perfect is an understatement, it FEELS perfect. You don’t just hear this, this is a sound that wraps around your mind and demands you live in the rhythm and melody, and you are just in love with it all and you don’t want it to stop. It’s almost meta how much the song applies to itself.

This is beyond a remix- it's a work of art in its own right. Still sounds fresh ten years on. You've got to give it to Marc Mac and Dego of 4 hero (although this sounds like a Marc Mac only production). They should be one of the biggest acts in Britain.
