Critical Music is proud to present ‘Countdown’, the fourth solo album from one of drum & bass music’s true doyens, Enei.

A master of every style and strain of the D&B template - from energetic jump-up and silky smooth liquid, to skull-smashing darkness - Enei’s vast talent and hard-grafted skills have placed the Russian-born producer among the genre’s greatest exponents.

Countdown’ sees Enei bringing vocalists onto seven of the album’s 11 tracks, adding a warmer and more human touch, a natural progression as he becomes ever more rooted in the UK’s multicultural D&B community, while still being the same artist behind some of the hardest and most punishing drum & bass in recent years.  

Opener ‘Runaway With You’ sets the tone, presenting a moody liquid roller gilded with deft technical touches and the rich vocals of Cameron Hayes, before the lively, jazzy bounce of ‘Message’ featuring Sparkz lifts the energy in preparation for lead single ‘Black Bear’ to unleash its croaking, Belgian style jump-up pressure.

The vocals don’t stop coming; legendary London MC Killa P takes to the high-pressure ‘Nobody Else’, Bristol’s Eva Lazarus brings her soulful reggae inflections to ‘Set It Off’ and regular Critical contributor Verbz offers up his laidback bars across ‘Answers’.

The fantastically weird ‘Cartier’ punctuates proceedings with a pure instrumental work out that demonstrates Enei’s outrageous sound design skills, before the delicately drifting ‘Be The One’ brings more vocals from KLO in a link-up with Critical label boss and regular collaborator, Kasra.

‘Checks Up’ alongside Limmz reduces the tempo for the album’s sole non-D&B excursion, delivering a shaking breakbeat backbone for the young MC’s grime tinted bars. All that remains is for closing track ‘Axis’ to take things back to the raw fundamentals with a bubbling, percussive roller that leaves you hungry for even more.

Almost twenty years on since his debut release, and almost fifteen since exclusively signing for Critical Music, ‘Countdown’ is a bold proclamation that Enei’s enthusiasm for his art, and the art form itself, storms forward unabated.

OB - Zero Sum (Minor Forms Remix)

Breathe in the glow of 'Longing / Band Aid', a liquid Drum & Bass pairing that floats between memory and renewal. Rolling basslines guide you through wide open soundscapes while soft vocals and warm synths pull at the chest in all the right ways. It feels like a quiet reset on the dancefloor, emotional and soulful with atmosphere to spare. These tunes are not just plays for the playlist, they are moments to slow down, breathe and let the music do its thing.
