2025 (part 3)

Cat No: EVOC073
Artist: Vici
Title: Never More - Shades Of Light (ft. īnkūbe)
Release Date: 24th October 2025
Record Label: Evolution Chamber

French producer Vici has been steadily carving out his place among drum & bass’s most respected names. Since his debut track “Fight” on True Bass Recordings back in 2017, he has gone on to release across a wide spectrum of influential imprints including Blackout, Eatbrain, Skankandbass, Kosen, and ProgRAM, while also hdelivering high-profile remixes for the likes of Noisia, Audio, and Neonlight. 2025 marked a career milestone with the release of his debut album Flashover on Annix and Simula’s Neksus Sound, which was met with critical acclaim and widespread support.

With a reputation built on uncompromising quality and fearless creativity, it was only a matter of time before Vici caught the attention of the artist-led label Evolution Chamber. Now, the imprint proudly presents his debut single on the label: “Never More / Shades Of Light (feat. īnkūbe)”.

“Never More,” opens with calm, euphoric pads that glide into a melodic bridge, subtly raising tension before erupting into a hard-hitting call-and-response drop that shines a bright light on Vici’s precision and detail in production. The track effortlessly shifts through moods and styles, from the track's powerful first drop into a restrained breakdown, before re-emerging with rolling drum patterns and, finally, an unexpected trip-hop switch that closes the track in striking fashion. It’s a track rooted in creativity, where every movement feels deliberate yet unpredictable.

On the flip, Vici teams up with long-time collaborator and vocalist īnkūbe for “Shades Of Light” which is an expansive, emotionally rich piece that reveals another dimension of his artistry and skillset. Opening with glistening pads and delicate atmospherics, īnkūbe’s vocal enters like a guiding presence, pulling the listener into an uplifting yet deeply moving soundscape. When the drop lands, it strikes a rare balance: powerful and heavy, yet elevated by īnkūbe’s vocal delivery, which adds a charged emotional depth. The second drop switches gears with a powerful half-time crescendo that bursts with euphoria and raw intensity, amplifying the track’s emotional core while driving it to new heights. Each progression builds momentum while maintaining a sense of weightlessness, making “Shades Of Light” feel like a journey through every emotion humanly possible. This collaboration allows both Vici and īnkūbe to shine, merging technical precision with unfiltered emotion in a way that feels both personal and universally resonant.

With Evolution Chamber striving to be a label that refuses to lock itself into one sound within the Neurofunk subgenre, but instead lead with originality, creativity, and artistry, this single stands as a clear example of that ethos in action and reaffirms the label’s integrity and commitment to showcasing forward-thinking talent at the highest level.

Veteran drum & bass artist Calyx continues his winning streak for Critical Music with two more masterfully rendered pieces of sonic art.

The clue is in the name on ‘Repercussion’, as the legendary producer keeps things relatively low-key with a frenetic, percussive drum workout that bustles with congas and intricate rhythms.

‘Forever’ takes a heavier, more experimental path; with a slicing, hypnotic kick-snare beat locking Calyx’s trademark twisted mid-bass and foreboding atmospherics into an irresistible groove.

Fresh talent SMG follows up his full Critical Music debut earlier this year with two more precision engineered pieces of drum & bass.

‘Lang’ drops hard, heavy and minimal, balancing raw energy and depth; giving obnoxious mid-bass room to do the work before layering on jungle-flavoured, shuffling breaks for the second drop.

Linking up with vocalist PVC, ‘Draw The Line’ hits different, delivering an almost oppressive barrage of moody sound design around a stepping groove and ear-catching bars from the UK MC.

VISLA delivers his second EP of the year for Critical Music, picking up where the ‘Ultraviolence’ EP left off with another four-track collection of strictly underground sonics.

‘Engage!’ leads the way as VISLA brings a grizzly roller with a deceptively gentle groove that gnaws and burrows its way into your chest.

Meanwhile, both ‘Uhwork’ (alongside fellow Critical young blood SMG) and ‘Violence’ (in collaboration with Gino) come ready to cast shadows over the darkest corners of any dancefloor with punishing, otherworldly sound design and skin-crawling atmospherics.

‘March!’ closes the show in style, slowing the tempo for a deliciously dark slab of moody 140 that squats the space somewhere between garage and dubstep with a dead-eyed stare.
