Jam Thieves - Cry Blood

Featuring on the Rituals LP [vinyl & digital]
Pre-Order: http://www.criticalmusic.com/release/enei-rituals-lp/
Released 4th December.

Russia's premiere drum & bass export Enei returns to close out 2015 with his eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Rituals’. Following up on his 2012 debut long player ‘Machines’, Enei shows off a defiantly more mature sound palette drawing influence from across the drum & bass spectrum from his trademark tech nasties through to the deep subliminals from an array of collaborators. With 15 new tracks on offer ‘Rituals’ is another triumph for an artist moving ever onwards, marking the start of Enei’s new chapter.

"’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

In 2016, Document One showed us that they've got their own way of doing things. Equal parts of hip-hop, tech, funk and jazz combine into a flavour that's got musicality, individuality and, always, dancefloor energy. No wonder we've all got used to seeing their name at the pinnacle of the DnB download charts and in the setlists of most of the scene's top DJs. So, is it more of the same for 2017?

Well, the intro of “The Rhythm” might suggest that we're going down a more chilled route. We're in a reverberant, almost dubby soundscape, as stabs and percussive hits echo in the background while a dialogue sample tells us about the philosophy of rhythm. There's that Document One staple in those hints of brass, but, really, there's no sign of what this track is about to deliver.

There's certainly no indication of the utter filth we're about to be dropped into. Pounding, heavyweight drums stomp any chill-out vibes into oblivion. Meanwhile a gritty, serrated bassline cuts through the atmosphere with its edge of distortion. Document One's productions have always been hard, but “The Rhythm” takes things to another level. This is going to take some heads off whenever it's dropped.

So, it seems that Document One have still got more up their sleeve than they've shown up to now. The crisp cleanness they've demonstrated in previous releases has been supplemented by all-out aggression. If these producers are starting 2017 off with this level of militant violence, then who knows where they might take things next? Better pay close attention.

Trex - Belly

Lifestyle Music is primed for 2019, we’re back on the business of pushing some lesser-known artists to the foreground, with some ultra-fresh sounds. 

Our latest release comes from the dutch producer DOt. who shone on the first edition of our Future VA last year with a track entitled ‘Hoisin’ that picked up support on Noisia radio and spread through the scene like a bad rash. He followed this up 3 months ago with one for our free download series, a seriously vibey number entitled ‘Lunacy’, and now he’s back with his first single for our label. One to watch in 2019 for sure, this young artist already has a lot of very solid tunes under his belt, and some big plans for this year, so get ahead of the game and make sure to check these out! 

A-side ‘Unknown Lifeforms’ is a beautifully crafted slice of minimal drum & bass, with an ominous fizzing bassline flexing underneath a perfectly snappy break. Warping, acid-y synth stabs make up the hook of the tune, with reverberant spaces cutting in and out alongside them, creating a really engaging atmosphere. Things are kept very stripped-back in this one, all the drums and percussion are heavily staccato and punch through flawlessly, one of those less-is-more kinda tracks, seriously heavy vibes. 

The flip ‘Projections’ takes the energy upwards, with the filtered break in the intro an indication of the change in gear. Still very much a dark, moody tune, but this one with a much more melodic bassline, and reliant heavily upon a crunchy, saturated breakbeat. More dark liquid than tech, this is some of that real stare-at-your-feet music, perfect for both the middle of the rave and the headphones on the train home. Making a beautiful contrast with the first track, it’s wicked to hear DOt. put his production talents to something a little bit melodic, a little bit vibey, as well as the minimal tech. 

Another excellent release from one of the most exciting new producer’s around at the minute, displaying a bit more breadth in his production, while still retaining a consistent and interesting sound. A versatile release that would fit snugly into most DJs arsenal, go check this one out !

Only One For You EP

Confusious - Only One For You [REBEL003]

Drum and bass heavyweights Black Sun Empire announced the launch of their new label, BLACKOUT music nl.  The first release on the imprint will be the highly anticipated EP by Optiv & BTK, “Bad Attitude,” which will be out on May 13.

The globally-respected drum and bass collective trio have been true innovators in electronic music for more than a decade.  “We, Black Sun Empire, want to build a stronger brand for BLACKOUT by expanding the events we are already setting up around the world and combining it with our years of experience with running successful labels. We think it is important to let the two grow together, under one name, pushing the sound and artists we feel are sometimes undervalued. By joining forces with artists we believe in, and by giving our fans (who live all around the globe) a common platform to stay informed and keep in touch, we hope to build a home for all who, like us, have a strong love for this kind of drum and bass: energy-driven, hard, melodic and a little crazy,” explain label bosses Milan Heyboer, Micha Heyboer and Rene Verdult.  

Over the last year, the duo known as Optiv & BTK have dominated the drum & bass scene with their unrelenting output of high-quality, strictly-for-the-dance-floor releases and worldwide DJ sets.  Optiv (from the UK) and BTK (from Brazil) joined forces in their new hometown of Bern, Switzerland after meeting up at various drum and bass events in the area. Once inside the studio, the collaborative vibe and rapid results made it clear that consequences would never be the same.  “Bad Attitude’ will be released worldwide on May 13.
