The review:
Ok. Sure. Let's talk about this, since that is the reason you clicked on this link, for a review  Most of you probably know Mekkanikka already. He's been on numerous compilations and his first release was on the now non-active Spirit Zone label. He's all about straight full-on, pretty standard sounding overall, but with kind of a fat edge. As is the case on this cd. From track one you're bombarded with a fat bassline, and cartoon samples (South Park). As the cd progresses we get everything you could think of in full-on. Bassline changes, acidlines, lots of samples and a pretty wild feeling to most of the tracks. With a lot of acidlines in here it sounds almost like old Electric Universe in places, but a bit more edgey. All in all it's a pretty wild ride in places, with a lot of tempo and in your faceness 
Now I hear you thinking: what is this going to add to my collection? Well, as I said it's pretty standard stuff, but what is being presented here is rock solid with every track being really party-ready material. Somehow Mekkanikka manages to stick to regular full-on but he keeps the tracks interesting by implementing lots of changes, little melodies, good sampling and a really driving bassline. A special mention for track 1,3 and 8 with those rap samples (really edited) and the unrelentable drive in it. Most of the songs work wonders on people's feet anyway. My girlfriend was nodding her head all the way through it
To sum it all up, if you're looking for a great full-on album you're at the right place here. Most artists in this genre can't keep it up for a whole album but Nikka manages seemingly effortlessly. I hope he keeps this up, I'm looking forward to hearing more of this
