VISLA returns to Critical Music with another four-track EP of uncompromising drum & bass.

Not for the faint of heart, ‘Contemporary’ crafts raw sonic aggression into art with its malevolent stretching bassline, head-thumping stabs and incessant sample chops.

‘Bones’, alongside Lavance, ratchets up the energy further in equally powerful fashion, while title track ‘Ultaviolence’ featuring Foreign Beggars’ PAV4N, melds shaking breaks with extreme sound design.

Closing the EP in far smoother - yet no less tough - mood, VISLA links with Koherent for ‘Everytimeuluv’, layering a touch of soul over mangled synths and a brutally precise stepping rhythm.

The unstoppable drum & bass producer returns to Critical with a festival-ready vocal anthem alongside SOLAH, backed by a strictly underground minimal roller.

Critical Music is proud to welcome the return of drum & bass ultra-heavyweight Break for a devastating double-header, featuring the powerhouse vocals of label regular SOLAH.

The Bristol-based producer’s meticulous sound design and ability to weave soul and groove into everything from minimal rollers to hard-hitting dancefloor weapons makes Break the perfect fit for the Critical Music roster.

SOLAH represents the new generation of drum & bass vocalists, first establishing herself as a Critical mainstay with her 2017 debut ‘Made Of Light’. In the years since, the British songstress has showcased her lyrical skills by collaborating with major D&B artists including DJ Marky, BCee, Monrroe, Spectrasoul, Halogenix, Flava D and Pola & Bryson.

‘Raise Your Hands’ is a huge vocal D&B tune destined not just to smash up raves but for radio rotation and festival main stages all summer long. SOLAH’s emotive voice elevates Break’s signature soulful-yet-brutal production to new heights, creating a track that resonates with both emotional intensity and dancefloor energy.

Wingz - Alright

A haunting, introspective lyric that journeys through self-reflection, isolation, and the emergence of an alternate self from the shadows. The narrator confronts inner turmoil, confronts a mirrored double, and searches for connection and clarity amidst uncertainty and darkness. The piece builds a surreal atmosphere, blending themes of identity, existential awakening, and the thin veil between reality and illusion.

Let's be honest. How many seven year old junglists do you know of? Well, the boy who would become Command Strange was just such a child. Growing up in Kazakhstan, the lure of his older brother's jungle and drum 'n' bass proved irresistible, and exposure to the music of icons like Roni Size, Aphrodite, and LTJ Bukem laid the foundations for what was to follow.

By the age of sixteen Command Strange was already releasing music. With a focus on the melodic side of DnB, he quickly got the attention of the scene's elite. The likes of Bryan Gee, Jumpin Jack Frost, Goldie, Hype, Bukem, Fabio & Grooverider regularly supported his productions, and with airplay on prestigious stations like BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, his reputation as one to watch was secured.

And he hasn't slowed down since.

Releases on Fokuz, Metalheadz, Good Looking, Integral, Grid, Horizons, Hospital and Med School have proven his versatility, with the Command Strange sound evolving to encompass harder, nastier styles alongside his pristine musicality. In a scene where releasing one artist album is a major achievement, Command Strange's back cat already includes three of them, “Soul Booster” and “Episode 91” on Fokuz, and “Joy”, his team-up with Intelligent Manners, on Marky's Innerground imprint.

Now exclusively signed to the V Recordings family, and with a reputation as a deejay that's seen him hype crowds across Europe and beyond, Command Strange has racked up achievements that are distant dreams for many artists twice his age. Even so, as he continues to develop, collaborate, and innovate, there's no doubt there are many more incredible things to come for Command Strange. Watch carefully.
