FULL RELEASE : 27TH JANUARY 2014 
CAT NUMBER : CRITLP06 
FORMAT : DIGITAL / 2 x 2EP / LTD 10” EDITION
#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

Rene LaVice 

A: Where My Ladies At 

OUT NOW - http://po.st/ReneLaviceWMLAiT

Level up: just when you thought Rene LaVice's productions couldn't get any sharper or stronger, along come another two powerful, distinctive creations.  

Canada's most accomplished drum & bass ambassador, Rene LaVice has some big plans for 2014... And they start right here. Showcased by Andy C on his mind-blowingly massive 'Nightlife 6' opus, both 'Where My Ladies At' and 'I Want More' slam, sizzle and surge with contemporary production muscle. Let's press play...

'Where My Ladies At' achieved cult status when Andy used it to slap Zane Lowe into submission during a live battle on Radio 1. The savage bass tears, stark iced-out hook and crazed funk flurries on the fills caused instant online riots from the fans. When you hear it, you'll instantly understand why. Complete with a mischievous vocal sample and explosive dynamics, it's LaVice at his most deadly and direct. 

With more unique firing fusions locked and loaded for the near future, LaVice is set to have an incredible 2014. Stay tuned for more heavyweight material very soon.   

DJ Support: Andy C, Chase & Status, Zane Lowe, Crissy Criss, High Contrast, Loadstar, Delta Heavy, DC Breaks, Hazard, S.P.Y, Hive, Dimension, D Minds, 
Mind Vortex, June Miller, Frankee

Miami Music Week: THE most important gathering in dance music since time began. An essential sun-kissed calendar date for artists, industry influencers and enthusiasts alike... Whatever your genre persuasion, if you're serious about the dance then Miami welcomes with you open arms. David Beckham's not the only Brit taking over Miami this winter!

Ram Records have represented at this annual meeting of musical minds since day one. Cutting through dance music's ever-changing fads and flavours with their demonstrative D&B message, they have achieved a rock-solid standing as the most important drum & bass event there. With over a thousand parties happening throughout the event -- from VIP pool parties to the epic multi-arena beast Ultra -- Ram have worked hard to create this sterling reputation. 

This year will be no exception: the label have secured another session at Mekka. One of Downtown Miami's most desired venues, it will be home to RAMiami with a line-up that reads like a who's who in D&B: Andy C, Ed Rush & Optical, Wilkinson, Loadstar, Rene LaVice and Delta Heavy.

To celebrate, they've curated 'RAMiami 2014'. Just like their Mekka mission, it's an all-star cast that represents the broadest scope and most vibrant colour of drum & bass. It's yet another reminder of how extensive and timeless Ram's repertoire truly is.  

Showcasing drum & bass's unique melting pot with depth and clarity, every possible style can be enjoyed on 'RAMiami 2014': The spine-melting euphoria of Loadstar's 'BLVD'. The dreamy melodic textures of Culture Shock's 'Ohrwurm'. The grizzle-bass badness of Noisia's 'Façade VIP'. The ludicrous rudeness of Roni Size's 'Hotness' remix. The organic instrumentation of Sub Focus's 'Flamenco'. The savage steel drum  of Moving Fusion's 'Chilli Pepper'... The list goes on.

No Ram album is complete without exclusives, too. And amongst this explorative 16 track tale you'll find three next-level specials that are unavailable anywhere else. Recent Drum&BassArena Artist Of The Week Salaryman dusts his jazz piano and slinky double bass off for 'My Future'. Mob Tactics, meanwhile, deliver the dark and devious 'Joe Mangle'. Boasting multi-faceted bass textures and a switch-flipping dynamic on the drop, it's one of the duo's best tunes to date. The third exclusive comes from Bluescreens. Last spotted on Ram's 'RAMsterdam 2013' album, here we find them developing their full-throttle audio adventure 'Strike One' with a spectacular second part. Flexing a muscular bassline and raw, pummelling drums, it's a fittingly dramatic finale to yet another exciting, extensive Ram collection.  

Miami wouldn't be the same without Ram's heavyweight presence. Both their Mekka line-up and this collection of exclusives and timeless classics show exactly why.

Mob Tactics - Joe Mangle

Snake Style

At the start of 2012 Sabre, Stray and Halogenix teamed up to drop one of the most blissful pieces of drum & bass that year, ‘Oblique’. Since then the dreamteam have continued their late night studio sessions and are now ready to announce their new collaborative project, Ivy Lab. Kicking off Critical’s 2013 season is the first fruit of their labour, ‘Afterthought’, again featuring the esteemed vocal talents of Frank Carter III to create the most inspired start to the year we could wish for.
 

‘Afterthought’ is a masterpiece filled with polished breaks, melancholic chords, reversed strings and Carter’s unmistakable heart wrenching sounds that draw us into the spine-tingling production, coming as an Ivy Lab standard. A late night marcher or a summers day soother, the choice is yours for the most beautiful, teary-eyed slice of drum & bass you’ll have heard in a long time. Quality through and through.
 

‘Brat’ on the other hand shows the other side to Ivy Lab as the guys get aggy at the controls for a supremely sick peak-time performer. Creeping bleep FX open it up as the b-line seeps into the mix for a drop into some proper dance floor funk. Meticulous on the edits and the morphing bass, it’s a dirty yin to the A-side’s yang.
 

Included in the package is a Digital Exclusive remix of 'Brat' by South London Ordnance

Ivy Lab - Afterthought feat Frank Carter III

SUSPICIOUS STENCH 
Feat Flowdan

Shutdown

Screwloose Records

Worldwide release June 10th 2013

Few MCs hold court like Flowdan. Armed with his stern spoken tenor, when he speaks YOU listen. Especially when he’s offering such a cold, crisp warning.

Few producers slap down a riddim like Stenchman and Suspect. Armed with years of bass business dating back to dubstep’s golden age, when they play YOU listen. Especially when they’re offering such a cold, paranoid lick.

Combine the two and what have you got?

Don’t tell us, we’ll tell you: an icy grime showdown primed on undiluted 808 danger. Clinical beats with razor-sharp melodic motifs, Suspicious Stench have provided the perfect bed for Flowdan’s sermon. He’s giving you a warning… And you’re witness to one of the darkest club joints of the coming summer.

Remix-wise there’s nothing but high grade bangers, each one ticking a different party box. First up, the VIP. Eschewing the untrusting minimalism of the original, the VIP adds an air of mentalist menace. Part Dutch, part tropical, all bass there’s no escape from the mischievous rattling 140 groove.

Moving up 30 notches, Screwloose co-founder LoKo takes care of the D&B chapter. Full-bodied naughtiness, it’s an all-out alien bass marathon. Highlighting just how versatile Flowdan’s vocal technique is, the turbo-tempo and terror bass compound the darkness of his delivery. Complete with cool spinback samples and an overall sound that wouldn’t have gone amiss on late 90s Ram joints, LoKo has well and truly nailed his reversion.

Finally, it’s down to Screwloose mainstays Statix to close the show. Naturally they do it in style. At first it appears to be a slinky-but-swaggering dubstep roller. Stark enough to carry the full vocals but booming enough to bang any floor, its weighty halfstep does all the driving. Then, just when you think you’ve arrived at your destination, BANG: we’re switched up to a classic rave breakbeat finale.

Shut it down. Start it up again… Suspicious Stench and Flowdan are on fire right here. And YOU better listen.
