#UNDERGROUNDSONICS

Kicking off 2014 in the most spectacular fashion, Critical Music enters its 12th year with its biggest artist compilation to date. Painstakingly put together by label boss Kasra over the past year, ‘Underground Sonics’ is an exciting overview of modern day drum & bass, showcasing the true dexterity of one of the most well regarded, independent electronic music labels in the UK today. 

Kasra has pulled out all the stops, sifting through his phone book to enlist the talents of some of the biggest and most exciting producers in the game. Noisia, Dub Phizix, Enei, Phace, Sam Binga and Kasra himself all make sterling contributions that make for an album of the best of Underground Sonic expression.
It’s been a few years since our last fully fledged label compilation so I wanted to ensure this one was as vital as possible. For me this album truly encapsulates the essence of Critical, a balanced mix of all that’s exciting about this music - heads down lights out rollers, experimental side steps and some slightly more aggressive attention grabbers. This album is made up of tracks by the core Critical acts alongside a select group of label friends and for me is a snapshot of where the label is at now and where it is heading." Kasra

Ivy Lab - Baby Grey [CRITLP06]

All conquering UK rap crew Foreign Beggars, who recently teamed up once more with long time collaborator Alix Perez on their Modus EP, call on another of drum & bass's biggest talents to give the EP's title track a 170 refix. Here at Data Transmission we bring you the exclusive premiere of Calyx & Teebee's Modus remix. Retaining the minimal nature of the hip hop original, the half time intro draws you in: Metropolis spits his fire bars before it twists and switches into a techy, bass driven beast. Orifice Vulgatron handles the breakdown, his rapid fire delivery amping you up for round two with more ice cold percussion edits.
Modus Remixes is out Deceber 1st on Par Excellence. Grab a copy from here: http://bit.ly/ModusRemixes

Middle Of The Night (Teknian & Zerozero Remix)

Stream / Download / Vinyl / CD: HospitalRecords.lnk.to/LIFETHRILLSso

Metrik’s highly anticipated second album ‘LIFE/THRILLS’ released on Hospital Records is an exhilarating and flawlessly executed evolution of his signature sound. Under the banner of drum & bass it draws on his love for film soundtracks, synthwave, neo-soul and the Japanese pop sub-genre, Shibuya-kei and includes collaborations with Elisabeth Troy, NAMGAWD, Roméo Testa, Ragga Twins, Rothwell and Reija Lee.

‘Electric Echo’, a collaboration with Fightstar’s Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway’s synthwave side project Gunship, encapsulates the ethos of the album merging the unfamiliar with D&B sensibilities to create a fresh and exciting new sound. We also welcome the return of Elisabeth Troy in 'Chasing Sunrise' and Reija Lee in 'Cadence' making for two powerful vocal highlights on the record. For those of a purist nature, fear not; Metrik’s sophomore album is one hundred percent drum & bass and he hasn’t forgotten about the dancefloor. Bangers like 'Western Jam', 'Fatso' and 'Destination Earth' make up a serious proportion of the album’s generous fifteen tracks and reinforce his status as one of the heaviest producers on the block.

Over the past year Metrik has travelled the world representing drum & bass at major festivals of all denominations; from Glastonbury and Global Gathering to Outlook and EDC Las Vegas. All the while crafting remixes for the likes of DJ Fresh, Ellie Goulding, Gorgon City and Martin Garrix, and collaborating with fellow D&B superstars TC and Netsky. Fans of his UK Dance Chart Top 20 debut 'Universal Language' will find plenty to love here however its Metrik’s devotion to creating a fresh and thrilling strain of drum & bass that stands to bring in a new audience and earmark 'LIFE/THRILLS' for instant classic status.

TECH 149 – Document One – 7th Dimension

There's something about Document One's highly individual style which has resonated with DJs and ravers alike. Throughout 2016, their releases took up almost permanent residence at the top end of DnB download charts and in the sets of the most discerning selectors. They defined their own sound, culling elements from multiple genres and weaving them into dancefloor mayhem. And, if this release is anything to go by, they're going to do it all over again in 2017.

The ethereal horns and vocal sample in the intro set the scene, building an edge of tension. It's got all of that smoky moodiness that Document One can deliver, combining tech darkness with a jazz sensibility. Delicate hints of percussion mark the way, and there's still no hint as to whether we're heading towards laid-back cool or road-hard savagery in the drop. It's Document One, after all, and they can do either.

The eponymous MC sample gives us the signal. And the atmosphere is ripped asunder by the arrival of crisp drums and a pulsating, irresistible bassline. Its stripped-back production gives those core sounds the chance to really make their presence felt. And when the vocals ride over the top, it all comes together to make complete skank-out sense. This is a roller that's going to do some serious damage in the rave. 

Altogether, this track takes us on a tour of the multiple facets of the sound Document One have marked out for themselves. It's got the tech percussion and sample programming, a hip-hop edge, that hint of jazz in the horns and undisputed funk energy in the bass. Simultaneously heavy and subtle, this is proof that the Doc One style is ready and able to make even greater strides in 2017.

New Mind EP

Composite - New Mind

'Glow' is released 9th March

The ‘Glow EP’ from Marseille based drum & bass label Hyperactivity music not only defines the technical prowess of its producer VICI, but also the beautifying landscape created by similar sonic works in Hyperactivity’s back catalogue. Having already graced the discographies of similarly independent labels, such as Digital Whomp, True Bass Recordings, Dark Pack Records and even the scene defining Dnb France, VICI has already provided enough clear-cut records for a distinct reputation. And this will continue with the ‘Glow EP’, adding yet more diversity to his creative output and promising to dive listeners head first into another musical exploration of his sound.

Vinyl & Digital: https://criticalmusic.com/releases/qzb-delirium-ep/

The inherently precise forward movement of Swiss duo QZB continues apace as they deliver their most accomplished music yet. From the impressive cinematics and dancefloor blows of ‘Tech Priest’ and ‘Underneath’, QZB push that much further into the experimental tempo excursions of title track ‘Delirium’ until they fire back up into the future funk of ‘Spez’, collaborating with new name IHR.
Also included is the VIP of ‘Take It All’ ft. Charli Brix, the title track of their memorable EP from Critical last year.

Matrix & Futurebound - Got You There (T & Sugah remix)

For our first release in 11 months, we simply needed to sign something special, for both us & our listeners. Across that period, we've had a long break & hiatus; a much-needed refresh. Now, we're back with a primed, 174-themed bang, with lots of exciting plans on the horizon, both in a label and press capacity. So, without further ado, we're delighted to welcome Pulsate to OTW with his stunning first release on the platform. In 'Run The Record', we have a track with many redeeming facets and qualities across its sublime technical aspects, dominating percs, flowing drum-work, glittering synth-design and subliminal, background aesthetics but the main thing is that it slaps, especially on the dancefloor. Through their own merit, producers that we've released with including Infrared, Papps, Namena, Max Baker, Sample, Spacegat, Blvckmore, Yozhi, mAngo, S3 Dubs and more have all gone onto achieve huge things on their rise into the scene, and we expect Pulsate to reach those same dizzy heights. There's no stopping this kid.
