Off the back of his debut Space Invaders EP last year, we're excited to welcome Onyx Recordings regular Hoax back to the label with his next EP, Crowd Control.

Featuring four tracks of pure energy ready to tear up any dancefloor, including a wobbly roller in "Nebula" and a touch of future bass in "Promise Me", we guarantee you'll be able to find a DJ weapon of choice within this EP.

Since first releasing with Onyx, Hoax has become a label favorite with our listeners, and we're stoked to be putting him b2b with fellow Onyx mainstay Invert Era at our Lightbox London event on September 24th. Come down and witness Hoax's crowd control skills in action!

If you feature any of these tracks in a mix or elsewhere, we'd love to hear. Please drop us a line or let us know in your feedback.

Not satisfied with already dropping his ‘Pyro’ album back in March, Particle returns to Critical with another pair of expertly crafted tracks from two very different sides of the sonic spectrum.

After debuting on the main stage at Boomtown, ‘Shunt’ is stripped-back, minimal D&B at its very best; showcasing Particle’s knack for carving enormous tracks from the simplest of basslines and the most spacious of drum grooves.

‘W4M’ - in collaboration with Austrian producer Wingz - refreshes with something totally different; layering soulful detuned chords and re-pitched vocals over deliciously clean drums and subs for a blissful roller to help soothe those early winter blues.

Skantia's music catches heat, something which is evident not only through his Bassline Secret rework and the notoriety it achieved, but also through his recent bootleg of Shabba Rank’s single ‘Shine Eye Gal’.

Long hours in the studio have lead to releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Shogun, Exit, Critical, Soul:R, Quarantine, Subtitles and a host of others; cementing Break’s reputation as one of drum & bass’ hottest talents. His trusted skills have been reigned in to remix seminal drum & bass classics including Shy FX’s ‘Bambaata’, Die’s ‘Clear Skyz’, Commix’s ‘Talk to Frank’ and Ram Trilogy’s ‘Gridlock’ as well as Bloc Party’s UK top-5 hit ‘The Prayer’.

Equally praised for his DJ skills, Break maintains a consistent touring schedule that sees him playing across the globe on a weekly basis on the stages of the world’s biggest drum & bass institutions; from Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam, Warning, Metalheadz and Hospitality in the UK to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the breadth of Europe, playing headline shows or back2back sets with the likes of Die, Goldie and Dillinja.

Launching his own label, Symmetry Recordings in 2006, Break honed and polished his sound with each single and released his fist album, also entitled ‘Symmetry’ in 2008. Featuring forays into ambient, dubstep, funk, hip hop, house and soul amongst an arsenal of sure-fire drum & bass, ‘Symmetry’ earned Break an army of new fans from outside the d&b world with tracks picked up by the likes of techno legends Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink. 

Two years later Break has risen the bar further still via his second LP; ‘Resistance’. Featuring collaborations with No U-Turn mastermind Nico, Bristol’s DJ Die, super-duo Calyx & Teebee, DNAudio cohorts Silent Witness and Survival, Shogun Audio’s SpectraSoul and vocalists Kyo and SP:MC, the album offers a glorious journey through the spectrum of Break’s styles and influences and a clear indication of where his talents will lead him next. 

The next chapter for Break is signing new exciting artists to coincide with his own output on the label. Keep a keen eye on Symmetry as this is the label for the real sounds of Drum & Bass, absolutely no compromise.
