DLR - Fake Money

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.

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.
