Phentix - Hoax (OUT NOW)

Out now! http://www.criticalmusic.com/release/emperor-dispositions-lp/

"’Dispositions’ is a piece of me, an insight into my personality. I wanted to create something that represented that and more importantly be an album that people wouldn't expect." Emperor, 2016

Having debuted his first Critical release ‘Monolith’ back in 2012 the Emperor name has become synonymous with some of the most breathtaking drum & bass of recent times. Since the ‘Begin EP’ and his collaborative ‘Hello World EP’ with Mejus took the scene by storm, Emperor’s heavyweight approach culminated with the utterly outrageous ‘Into Black EP’ which pushed all the levels to the max. Now ‘Dispostions’ looks set to cement his status at the top of the leader board.

“When I first heard Conor’s music I knew he had the potential to make some special records. His music has that great combination of mood and technique, combined with an ear for that killer sample and a rawness that is lost in a lot of modern production. ‘Dispositions’ as an album showcases all this in style and also his diversity as a producer with his ability to span sub genres with ease.” @kasra-critical 2016

A shadow fell with bleak weight against the broken cityscape as the towering frame of the scaled behemoth stood above the now desolate metropolis. Cold eyes flickered within the recesses of its heavy skull, surveying its fragmented and twisted domain for any remnants of the fleshy morsels of the living who had once resided there. Beneath its talons shifted stone and metal, groaning under its weight in a cacophanus lament for what had been. It lumbered forward through the carnage of the city, led by its singular mind, barely noticing as each thundering step felled the last vestiges of that once grand city around it. This city on the rocky plain, a pinnacle of the species that built it, now laid to waste by this overwhelming titan of entropy and fury. The towering skyline collapsed around the beast as it effortlessly shifted and demolished with single sweeps of its tail. Issuing a howling, guttural roar of pure, brutal energy, its inhuman rage resounded throughout the city, angular audio reflections bouncing across the broken buildings and striking fear deep into the hearts of those who still clung to a wretched life. They haunted the shadows, hiding from the its ravenous hunger, hidden away in fear amongst the crumbling concrete. With a burst of sudden fury the beast twisted, striking at a skyscraper and tearing it open, spilling the mess of its insides and the once precious multitude of human things across the streets below. But missing was the softness of the meal it craved. It lumbered onward, the strange paths which this insignificant species had laid, leading it through the decaying land... a constant drive for flesh feeding its voracious desire - that endless, unfillable void. Its stride echoed with the ominous assurance of recurrence, its cycle of consumption would begin anew.

MOB TACTICS land heavily in the dystopian EATBRAIN audio landscape, delivering their highly anticipated and much requested debut full EP - DINOSAUR ROCK - one of dnb's apex tech labels. Following up single tracks BLACK DIAMOND, TUFF GUY and JAW BREAKER, as well as a remix of Maztek's STOMPIN on Eatbrain, and with their impressive trail of intricate and colourful sonic devastation across the drum and bass stratosphere, the duo have delivered a devastating cut, made with with the artful skill of true veterans. Packed with kinetic energy, and with a detailed and high definition production perspective; DINOSAUR ROCK resonates with the weighty step of true sonic titans making impressive moves in coordination with one of the most consistent imprints of today.

Kyo & OneMind - Play To Lose

Aired 19th June 2018 on Rene LaVice BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra show: https://bbc.in/2tgaWij

Buy or Stream 'M&F's Smoke & Mirrors Mix': https://viper.lnk.to/mfladsmoke. Buy or Stream Original 'Live Another Day': https://viper.lnk.to/mflad

Drum and bass duo Matrix & Futurebound released their latest single Live Another Day ft. Alex Hepburn at the beginning of this month. With the track soaring across the radio waves and climbing playlists at a steady pace, the producers are wasting no time in adding further fuel to the fire with a special ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ VIP mix.

Putting a heavier, club-ready spin on the original track, Matrix & Futurebound delve in to the underground with a mix that demonstrates the duo’s firm foothold on the darker side of the drum and bass spectrum. With Live Another Day ft. Alex Hepburn following on from their previous release Mystery Machine – which also happens to be the title of their upcoming album – the producers continue to demonstrate exactly why electronic fans should be paying very close attention.

Live Another Day instantly resonates as a particularly melodic take on the classic Matrix & Futurebound sound that fans have come to know and love. Upbeat and euphoric, the single fuses a soaring melody with stellar synth work, stylishly tied together by impressive vocals from lyricist Alex Hepburn. The ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ VIP mix injects some of the more ‘dancefloor’-focused elements that have taken modern drum and bass to new highs as of late. A pounding bassline paired with an array of sonic highs and lows make the VIP mix a formidable weapon for M&F’s fans who like their beats on the weightier side.

Setting standards in the industry ever since they first collaborated in 2005, Matrix & Futurebound possess one of the most impressive track records in drum and bass history. As the masterminds behind hits such as Control ft. Max Marshall (#7 UK charts/Silver certified), Magnetic Eyes ft. Baby Blue, Happy Alone ft. V Bozeman and Light Us Up ft. Calum Scott, Matrix & Futurebound are hailed as pioneers in the scene – and they’re not slowing down any time soon. With a full-length album set for release in Autumn 2018, the duo prove their worth time and time again with releases that are as infectious as they are unique. 

M&F’s ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ VIP mix of Live Another Day ft. Alex Hepburn is out on 15th June via Metro/Viper Recordings.

http://S.P.Y.lnk.to/GreyDays-ShadowsOfTheMindso

S.P.Y returns with the second single from his newly formed ‘Dubplate Style’ movement. With a classic ‘95 flavour, ‘Grey Days’ and ‘Shadows Of The Mind’ are a homage to the foundations of drum & bass. Fresh off the press with only 100 physical copies in existence, this super exclusive release takes it back to the original sound.

‘Grey Days’ is a steadfast adventure riddled with twisted vocals and eerie undertones. This darkside story plunges deeper with ‘Shadows Of The Mind’. Tense amen stabs swiftly hypnotise, luring you through S.P.Y’s dark labyrinth with nothing but the shadows for company. Listen at your peril.

In the last year alone, S.P.Y’s gathered regular radio support from dance music tastemakers Annie Mac and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1, so much so he was invited to the perform an exclusive jungle mini-mix and DJed on the first ever ‘Rave Lounge’ B2B with Rene LaVice, also another frequent champion of S.P.Y’s sound.

As one of Hospital Records’ most sought after DJs, S.P.Y has now launched his very own ‘Dubplate Style’ event series, premiering at the sold out Critical Music Summer Sonics BBQ. With more shows to come and numerous other sets at monolith shows, such as Hospitality On The Beach where his dubplate style boat party sold out in under thirty minutes, as well as Boomtown, Hospitality In The Park and more!
