The D&B Advent Calendar 2023 [Free Download Edition]

Hot on the heels of his highly anticipated return “Estranged” featuring LaMeduza, the West Country born/London-based Rockwell passes the mic to Lewisham-born and bred MC Novelist for his second single of the year, “Peak”. An atmospheric and ominous introduction, this club banger is defined by cheeky synth stabs and harmonic variations, increasing the intensity of the track as it progresses whilst providing the perfect sonic texture for Novelist to lay down his inimitable quick-fire bars - hitting at the government for the country's current state of affairs. A pertinent and “of the times” socio-political battle cry, Novelist raps “The price of everything is going up, I’ve had to add another zero to my fee I’ve had enough… the government don’t care about a thing, they don’t want to see or hear a brother win” whilst distant sample chimes in “The general public in this country know they are being mugged”.

“With a couple of my more recent productions, I’ve been trying to strip things back, taking a more considered approach to adding elements and ensuring that everything that makes the cut is integral to the track. I struggle to articulate how much of an honour for me it is to collaborate with Novelist on ‘Peak’, and from the recording session we did, the bars mirrored the instrumental and came together in an effortless fashion”.

Novelist is a Mercury Award nominated MC and producer hailing from Lewisham, South London. After developing his skills as a lyricist on pirate radio, Novelist went on to play a key role in the resurgence of Grime as a teenager. Nov has since evolved into a genre-bending artist who can no longer be defined by any individual scene. He was nominated for Best Grime Act at the MOBOs in 2014, and picked up a Mercury Prize nomination 4 years later. As well as continuing to release his own music under the Novelist moniker, he has produced for the likes of ASAP Rocky, Skepta, and Dean Blunt.

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.
