Kicking off 2024 for The Mob , we have JJODA making his second apperance on the label.

He's supplied us with a souful drum and bass flip of Rayana Jay's track - 'Breakfast In Bed'.

Expect to see much more music from JJODA this year. His debut drum and bass EP with DEEKODE drops next month on The Mob Recordings, so keep an eye out for that one over the next couple of weeks!

Big thank you to everyone for the continued support.

Following an impressive debut release for Critical’s talent brewing sub-label Binary in 2024, SMG steps up in uncompromising mood, with the three-track ‘Cloaked’ EP.

The title track draws you in with the eeriest of atmospherics before collapsing into a sharp, stepping groove that swoons and stretches from the despicably rough to the satisfyingly smooth.

‘Suku’ brings the cinematics - melding mystical, dreamy moods and foreboding spoken-word samples with a silky sub-bassline that gently twists and growls its way through endless sonic textures.

‘Halogator’ takes things harder, with SMG linking with fellow Critical producer Waeys to close the EP with a punishing crunch, taking things nasty with a snarling, bickering bassline and splashing drums.

Critical Music heavyweight Enei reunites with En:vy for the explosive four-track ‘Death Sprint’ EP.

Building on the momentum of their debut collaborative release late last year - the punishing ‘Drilla’ and ‘Sinister Life’ - the duo returns in fierce mood with another bag of brutal drum & bass rhythms.

Moving through the tough, gravelly stepper of ‘Hard Ship’, to the high-energy, shuffling drums and brutal bass-work of title track ‘Death Sprint’, this EP is built for the dancefloor. ‘Badboi’ drops a deliciously dark, lurching bassline, while closing track ‘Elixir’ surprises with a chunky, soul-tinted liquid roller.

Critical heavyweights Kasra and Enei join forces once again for another explosive round of powerful drum & bass sonics, this time joined by south-London grime MC JoSoSick.

Both regular solo contributors to the Critical Music catalogue, the studio relationship between label boss Kasra and Enei began well over a decade ago. This latest pair of tracks sees their signature sonic styles combine once again in typically immaculate style.

Beneath JoSoSick’s relentlessly energetic, double-time bars, ’Plan’ is a hard-as-iron two-step rhythm, filled with bubbling percussion and driven by a distorted, jabbing bassline.

‘Sonic Energy’ strips things right back, proving less can always be more and staying true to its name with a spacious, ultra-tough dancefloor weapon that fidgets and stomps with punishing precision.
