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.

Elephants are among the world’s most iconic animals, yet they are facing a steady decline. Habitat loss, human–wildlife conflict, and especially poaching for ivory continue to threaten both African and Asian elephant populations. As keystone species, elephants shape their ecosystems—creating water access, dispersing seeds, and maintaining healthy forests and savannas. Losing them would have profound ecological consequences. Protecting elephants means protecting entire landscapes, and acting now is essential to ensure these magnificent animals have a future in the wild. 

All proceeds from this release will be donated to the Wildlife Conservation Society to support their vital work in protecting elephant populations worldwide.
