DESCRIPTION:
2x12 1997 Drum N Bass LP Repressed
XL Recordings will reissue Sawtooth, an influential drum & bass album by UK artist Jonny L.
The label says Sawtooth, which was first released in 1997, inspired the "tectonic shift in sound" that paved the way for techstep, a subgenre defined by spacey sound design and crisp production. Considered the first LP in this style, it found a middle ground between techno and drum & bass, full of delicate synths and intricate details. It will be the first time the album has been pressed onto wax since its original release.
"Sawtooth was the first drum & bass album that was truly ahead of its time," says the veteran artist Doc Scott. "It was great when it came out but 20 years later it's still a benchmark."

Jonny L, real name John Lisners, is a drum and bass producer. He has also released music under the alias Mr. L. He first came to prominence with the rave single "Hurt You So" in 1992. He signed to XL Recordings, the same label as The Prodigy and SL2. He produced more rave singles such as Ooh I Like It.
In 1995, he changed direction making drum and bass records, beginning with I'm Leavin. With that he produced two other EPs before his first album Sawtooth in 1997. From this album, the hit single, Piper proved to be a success even though it was extreme in its sound, although on the album there were other electro-influenced tracks. By 1998 the next album, Magnetic, carried on in a similar vein.
He left XL to form his own record label, Piranha Records. Another album, 27 Hours A Day followed with the George W. Bush sampled single Let's Roll.
Jonny also produced Truesteppers' "Out Of Your Mind", the hit single featuring Dane Bowers and Victoria Beckham, and also produced "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Do It Till We Drop" for S Club's 2002 album, Seeing Double.
