After making serious noise as part of Volatile Cycle, Project Zeus lands on Murmuration with one of his strongest offerings to date — Echelon, a heavy-weight collaboration with the very outfit he helped define.

This track captures exactly what Project Zeus is all about: high-impact, technically sharp, and rooted in the darker ends of drum & bass. Cinematic tension gives way to a tightly layered, aggressive drop full of distorted low-end, frenetic movement, and crisp detail. There’s no filler here — just focused, driving energy that reflects years of experience and a fresh creative direction.

As one of the early releases under the new alias, Echelon makes a clear statement: Project Zeus is here to push things forward — no compromise, all weight.

15 years is a long time for anything, but for the lifetime of a record label it’s a particularly lengthy stint. Kasra Mowlavi launched his drum & bass label Critical Music in 2002, and through the years it went from being a passion project of a hobby into a full-time existence of A&R and DJ gig.  

Critical is by now regarded as one of the most boundary-pushing platforms in drum & bass, but given Mowlavi’s background in music that shouldn’t entirely come as a surprise: before he launched Critical, he’d already had experience of working in music at in international artist management companies and at the respected independent imprint Rough Trade Records. 

With Critical’s landmark birthday happening this year, Mowlavi is as busy as he’s ever been: on top of his regular gigs, there’s also an international tour, and a forthcoming boxset featuring some of the label’s key artists from across their history. 

As the label head prepares to launch the landmark ’15 years of Underground Sonics’ album in Room Two tomorrow night, he sent us a premiere of his track 'Phases' forthcoming on the compilation.

PRE ORDER NOW (via bandcamp) TO RECEIVE ANOTHER CHANCE by DLR 1 week early - - -Next up from Sofa Sound is the forthcoming collaborations from drum & bass heavyweights DLR, Break, Randall and Ulterior Motive, a collective who’ve all helped to pioneer the genre whilst staying inherently underground. Whilst Break and Randall have laid its foundations, producers like DLR and Ulterior Motive have shaped the more contemporary scene, although both tracks signify the colossal engineering standards of each featuring artist. The established names also bring their weight to Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, which has expanded since its creation by DLR in 2017. 

DLR, Break and Randall come together for lead track ‘Song & Dance’, an old-school reminiscent roller with snipped up, mc-lead vocal samples and jazzy instrumentals. The energy between all three artists is instantly recognisable, with Randall’s old-school approach shining through each layer. On top of strung guitar notes and a hook which nods to its namesake, ‘Song & Dance’ blends a mixture of styles to present a versatile addition to Sofa Sound.

Next comes ‘Modules’, featuring a combination of sonics recorded through Ulterior Motive’s modular set up. The ruminating drums and basses brought from the collections of their collaborators deliver its funkier elements, with the bassline fluctuating between notes and twisting its way through a melodic undertow. Alongside its unusual structure, the track’s organic approach and frequent switches grab its listener unaware. Another imperative release on Sofa Sound, the imprint has shown its commitment to artists from across the spectrum, through both its digital releases and physical discography additions.
