Counterstrike (South African Drum & Bass collective / Algorythm Recordings)

Counterstrike is a drum and bass music producer duo from Cape Town consisting of Justin Scholtemeyer and Eaton Crous. They are considered to be one of the pioneers of the South African drum and bass scene. Counterstrike are known for their composition of raw, high-energy sound inspired by metal, techno and early techstep. Counterstrike, also known as Animal Chin and 500 Mills, have been active drum & bass DJs and producers since the mid-1990s. Collectively producing since 1998, the duo drew attention for their releases on various high-profile labels such as Rob Playford's Moving Shadow, Dieselboy's Human Imprint, Barcode Recordings and Dylan's Obscene. Algorythm Recordings, their own imprint, was re-launched in 2005 and includes releases from artists such as Current Value, Limewax, SPL and T.Z.A. 2001: Pressure / Questions (featuring Tasha Baxter) on Allied Recordings 2003: Doom Prophet / Damaged on Core Productions 2003: Candy Flip / Existenz on Invader 2003: Monster Munch / Tortured Soul on Outbreak Limited 2003: Synergy / End of Line on Cell Recordings 2003: Metalgear (aka Counterstrike) & Impact - Evil Eye / Broken Crystal on Dynamic Recordings 2003: Stickfight / Metal Gear on Leet Recordings 2004: Sentinel / IO on Drop On Request 2004: V / Misfit on Cell Recordings 2004: Africanism / Bloodline on Outbreak Limited 2004: Never Enough (feat.
