Legendary drum & bass producer Calyx returns to Critical with a couple of tracks well worthy of a place in his vast and hugely influential discography.

‘Out & In’ shows Calyx’s (relatively) softer side, smoothing out his typically high-tech sound into a spacious, easy-going groove blessed by Chimpo’s deadpan bars in just the right places.

‘My Dark Place’ is Calyx at his most unique and impressive; sublime, cinematic soundscapes subsiding into full-throttle, face twisting sonics that only a true master of his art could craft.

A remix of one of the most stunning slices of bass-heavy annihilation in D&B history, Shogun Audio is delighted to present Break's remix of Icicle & SP:MC's 'Dreadnaught'.

A stone-cold classic from the Shogun catalogue, 'Mr Freeze' aka Icicle and SP:MC linked up on the original record back in 2011. 808-shaking and speaker-pulsating - this combination of astonishing production and lyrical mastery created the perfect club banger.

Now after months of mystery and countless reloads across festivals this year, legendary DJ and producer Break returns to Shogun with his incredible remix of 'Dreadnaught'. Infusing all the brilliance of the original with his unmistakable signature sound, Break's remix breathes new life into a bonafide D&B classic.

Break's remix of 'Dreadnaught' is also part of the 20 Years Of Shogun Audio LP. This 20-track deep album features 10 exclusive remixes of our catalogue’s most legendary releases alongside 10 pieces of groundbreaking new music from a selection of drum and bass’ most exciting talents.

D*Minds & InsideInfo - 800

Rockwell returns to his Obsolete Medium imprint for its third release - “Isolation Ritual”. Featuring the distorted crescendos and dissonant echoes of the Alix Perez supported track ‘Vent’, and ‘Ditch’ - a pulsating and dub-siren heavy collaboration with the man of the moment, Workforce. 

“ ’Isolation Ritual’ was borne out of me examining the relationship between my writing practices and my life outside music. For years I would shut myself away from the world in my windowless studio, concentrating on making music. It became normal for me to spend long periods by myself, isolated from the world outside and my friends and family. Over many years I became increasingly withdrawn and detached and struggled for objectivity. Tasks that would normally take an hour were taking days, as I was constantly second-guessing myself. My output ground to a halt.  

Making changes to both my creative process and the relationship I have with my music has been massively beneficial to my productivity and also to my wider mental health. Music is starting to flow again naturally. It is a slow process to unlearn years of bad habits, but hopefully ‘Isolation Ritual’ is a step in the right direction.”

One of the most exhilarating talents to come out fo the drum and bass scene in recent times, Rockwell has been heralded by the likes of Billboard, FACT, RA, Mixmag, CRACK and DJ Mag. He has released on some of the biggest and most revered labels in the game - Metalheadz, Critical, Shogun Audio Neosignal and Darkestral - and collaborated with a range of artists including Roni Size, Flowdan, Sam Binga and Breakage.

A past alumnus of both Radio 1’s Residency and ‘In New DJ’s We Trust’’, his debut album ‘Obsolete Medium’ was released on Shogun Audio in 2015 to critical acclaim, with Billboard selecting it as one of their top 10 Electronic LP’s of the year. 

2020 sees Rockwell continue on his mission, undertaking further sonic explorations with his label OBSOLETE MEDIUM.
