2. Maduk - Vermilion

Today we’re lucky enough to be premiering what someone in the office just referred to as a ‘serious nugget.’ Yeah, OK, so that person was me. And yes, I did say it to myself, in my head, after listening to it over and over again; but the fact remains and it is what it is. The Critical Music signed drum & bass producer, Emperor’s'She Said VIP’ – which will be exclusively available from the Critical store this Monday – is superlatively frenetic, heaving it’s way out of the rousing build up introduction with the sort of lurching industrial bassline that’ll set most dancefloors afire. The full Into Black EP will be released on vinyl and digital this coming Monday, but we’re toasting the publication of the EP’s pre-order link here today because it ties in nicely with the fact that we recently announced the next Critical Sound date (10th July) where you’ll be able to witness Emperor going B2B with The Upbeats.

Emperor - Mind Games

This track was created after going to see a friends Metal band. I started playing around with a few new plugins, but ended up with a 10 minute long recording of the session, from which I cut parts and then resampled, pitched, etc. I think this one was definitely inspired by tracks like Dust Up by Noisia & The Upbeats, and even myself and Mefjus' track, Void Main Void. The beat never actually changes and is just constant all the way through, not something I usually enjoy doing but it works extremely well in this case.

Emperor - Passed Up

Exclusive first play from Annie Mac.

It's a great and rewarding thing, the fact that we have regular access to and working relationships with people who are consistently trying to push the musical boundaries. It really is the gift that keeps on giving and we're duly stoked that we once again are able to find ourselves in the generous position to be able to share some brand new and exclusive music with you. In anticipation of the next installment of Critical Sound (which'll be in Room One on 10th July), the label has kindly bestowed a teaser of Enei, Kasra and DRS' forthcoming collaboration 'Overthinking' on us...

A Critical Music charity fundraising album project for Oxfam's refugee crisis appeal, featuring tracks donated by Current Value, Enei, Foreign Concept, Halogenix, Hyroglifics, Klax, Sam Binga & Signal. 
Album mastered by Audio Montage: https://www.facebook.com/studio.audiomontage

Over the last two Christmas' the team at Critical huddled together and decided that rather than let some sought after unreleased music sit idle on their hard drives they would put it to use and offer people the chance to download the tracks in return for donating something to charity. 
This year is no different and we at Critical have all gone through the vaults and put an album together, again for an important cause. We have chosen Oxfam's Refugee Crisis Appeal which is something close to all of our hearts.
Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, to run for their lives and risk the safety of their families. Oxfam urgently need to help more people in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and closer to home in Europe, too.

You can read more about the appeal here -
