ha-ha...a name from another site...nice to hear on SC! :)  Getting to be that season here...summer has flown and this is a reminder of the chill coming..superb bass and beats...like that rise coming into 2m and the melodic line there...liked the choir vox sound in the back and to the sides...gaming sounds really add some interest to the middle..liked that sizzle and slide into the ending...welcome to SC! :)

UK artist ORYX debuts in the A172T Series with the dancefloor sheller Vincere Aut Mori.

“Taken from my family ancestry ‘Vincere Aut Mori’ translates to ‘conquer or die’. This track was mainly inspired by one of Noisia's audio visual segments from their last Printworks show in London. Something I wanted to mix with Subtension - Reason, for live sets and an introduction into more dark/tech sounds in future”

Bandcamp → https://criticalmusic.bandcamp.com/

New music, new energy - Critical is proud to unleash the latest edition of cutting-edge sonics from its ever-evolving roster of talent.

Featuring 21 tracks that encompass the full Critical sound, ‘New Energy Vol 2’ combines fresh music from core label acts with productions from the imprint’s latest wave of recent contributors and fledgling artists.

Emperor’s ‘Jealousy’, ‘Close To You’ from label boss Kasra, YANO’s ‘Drained’ and Particle’s link-up with MC Verbz on ‘Stay The Night’ bring the late-night soul amongst a collection of tracks conceived for and born from the darkest corners of the dance floor.

There are tough, no nonsense and expertly crafted rhythms from well established names Enei, Calyx, T>I and Samurai Breaks (who debut on Critical with the manically experimental ‘Lemon Poppers’).

As always with Critical, though, the focus here is firmly on the future, with the bulk of tracks coming from the many newer names who have debuted on the label and its talent-shaping offshoot Binary over the last couple of years.

Unashamedly heavy, deliciously brutal rhythms come from the likes of SMG, VISLA, ABLE and QZB, alongside stepping grooves from En:Vy & Molecular with ‘Black Opal’ and Waeys & Azumai’s ‘Doggy Marriage’, plus template troubling, experimental crushers from Spectral on ‘TurboWave’ and Napes’ grime inspired ‘Balaclava’.

Reaching right across the sonic spectrum - ‘New Energy Vol 2’ is a panoramic perspective of electronic music’s most forward-thinking genre.

Enei joins forces with En:vy for two delightfully dark, perfectly polished pieces of drum & bass.

‘Drilla’ is a stomping, head-crushing rhythm, combining Enei’s trademark punishing drum work - 4/4 section and all - with En:Vy’s sizzling sound design and gritty basslines.

‘Sinister Life’ is a mellower groove but no less consuming, with its suffocating atmospherics, clockwork rhythm and prodding bass brutally, yet gently, doing their damage.

Alex SLK x Bisity - Tokyo Dub [Premiere]

The fifth instalment of the Sanity Check VA 'Wyvern’ leads the charge with snarling midbass and heavy, guttural textures that demand attention. The track’s dark, brooding atmosphere is built on a foundation of intricate sound design and deep, organic layers, offering a refreshing take on modern DnB. Nautika delivers a powerful, primal energy that pushes the boundaries of the genre, leaving a lasting impression with its intensity and precision.

Critical Music heavyweight Enei reunites with En:vy for the explosive four-track ‘Death Sprint’ EP.

Building on the momentum of their debut collaborative release late last year - the punishing ‘Drilla’ and ‘Sinister Life’ - the duo returns in fierce mood with another bag of brutal drum & bass rhythms.

Moving through the tough, gravelly stepper of ‘Hard Ship’, to the high-energy, shuffling drums and brutal bass-work of title track ‘Death Sprint’, this EP is built for the dancefloor. ‘Badboi’ drops a deliciously dark, lurching bassline, while closing track ‘Elixir’ surprises with a chunky, soul-tinted liquid roller.
