“Back once again with the ill behaviour” really does set the tone for this funky, fresh and energetic album from Danny Byrd. Living up to the name, it is packed with frenetic synths and vocal dexterity, with these are new tunes to raise the roof in clubs. Starting with Ill Behaviour, Triple J’s 6th most played track, it continues on with Judgement Day and Tonight featuring newcomer Netsky (with unfortunately, a vocal that wouldn’t be out of place on a Black Eyed Peas’ track). Breaking the album up are news skits on rave closures from the Police, before ramping back into fast paced DnB and bouncing Breakbeat courtesy of We Can Have It All. Sweet Harmony with that piano riff makes a welcome inclusion. With 16 tracks inclusive, plenty of dirty basslines, razor sharp grooves and not one filler in sight, it seems like the Byrd really is the word.
