Not satisfied with already dropping his ‘Pyro’ album back in March, Particle returns to Critical with another pair of expertly crafted tracks from two very different sides of the sonic spectrum.

After debuting on the main stage at Boomtown, ‘Shunt’ is stripped-back, minimal D&B at its very best; showcasing Particle’s knack for carving enormous tracks from the simplest of basslines and the most spacious of drum grooves.

‘W4M’ - in collaboration with Austrian producer Wingz - refreshes with something totally different; layering soulful detuned chords and re-pitched vocals over deliciously clean drums and subs for a blissful roller to help soothe those early winter blues.

Red-hot drum & bass talent En:vy kicks off 2025 with a five-track EP that showcases his ear-catching skills across various sonic styles.
 
Title track ‘Silver Riff’ leads the way, with tightly clipped drums and an ever-switching staccato bassline ready to please fans of the sort of hyper-energetic, funk-drenched grooves that EN:VY has already made his own - most notably on tracks such as last year’s ‘Red Hot Fight’, which also gets the VIP treatment here.
 
‘Stan It’ takes things moodier, layering shivering drum breaks and super-low subs for a fresh take on the classic ‘90s D&B sound, while ’Damaio’ adds further depth; dropping suffocating sound design over a 140bpm, heads-down dubstep rhythm.
 
‘Admire’ closes the EP with yet more variety, as EN:VY delivers a surprisingly smooth and soulful liquid drum & bass roller, leaving no doubt that there’s so much more yet to hear from Critical’s latest star.

Backstabbed EP

Jake Hicks & Jack Pike, aka Hillsdom, have been making music together for years after meeting at school. We welcomed Hillsdom to the Soulvent Records family back in October 2024 with ‘Good 4 U’, an uplifting, high energy, feel-good banger - laden with lush pads and big bass notes. Then we had them join the 10 year celebrations in May 2025 with a more gully offering in ‘Jynx’. Now they're back, following this up quickly with ‘Restless’. A more laid back affair but giving them opportunity to show even more of the capabilities they have in the locker.

The airy intro slowly brings in the hi-hats with increasing speed but whilst the arrival of the drop may catch you by surprise, the content within is absolutely as you’d expect. A driving bassline, guttural bass stabs and snappy drums come together and result in a dark liquid roller that sounds great in headphones and on sound systems.

Don’t sleep on ‘Restless’ the latest offering from Hillsdom, which lands in all good stores on 18th July.

Restless

T>I - Deep Within (Limited Remix)

What a year from the main man T>I. Supported by ALL the big names industry, he is nowhere near to stop the carnage. T>I is creating unique rollers with his idiosyncratic sounds. Big drums perfectly swinging with a groovy bassline.
After releasing an amazing EP on Critical Recordings, the man is proposing a 4 track project on Co-Lab Recordings. Enjoy!
