LA:MB 7 DnB

As we start to move into spring/summer 2025 its time for the next entry in the magic hour mix series. Heavily influenced by a recent trip to fabric for 1985/GeminiGemini x Rubi Records, which was incredible. This one has a clear divide at the midpoint where darker sounds are explored. As this is the seventh entry in the series, this one goes out to Cloud Strife! Also a massive thank you to Submorphics for sending Rosebay006 over on dub. The intro tune will be out May 23rd on Rosebay, what a label & remix!

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.

Ever versatile Dutch producer Waeys invites along a couple of friends for his latest dancefloor-primed drum & bass offering for Critical Music.

Title track ‘Arrivata’ sees Waeys link with fellow new school leader, Gino, who brings his manic, trademark energy along for a bone crushing, double distorted smasher, featuring one of the hardest drum rolls you’ll ever hear.

Waeys goes it alone on ‘Dredge’, unloading his insane sound design skills over a tightly wound drum groove and bustling percussion for a satisfyingly weird sonic slugger.

Last, but not least, fresh talent Cosmo gets involved on ‘Let Off’, shutting things down with a moody slice of minimal jump up, dominated by an off-kilter, chattering bassline that gleefully chews you ear off.
