A set price has been assigned but feel free to contribute more if you can, it's for a good cause.
“A friend from our days making DnB for Critical Music has been going through a rough time lately. A recent illness got complicated, and doctors had to amputate. Frank Carter III was an essential part of our sound at the birth of the Ivy lab project, and we want to do our bit to help our guy out in these tough times. Over the weekend we had Frank record his take of one of our favourite neo-soul tracks ’Soul Sista’ by Bilal and on Monday we spent the day building a throwback Ivy Lab DnB tune. Its up on the Critical Music Bandcamp page with 100% of proceeds going straight to Frank. We kindly ask you give whatever you can. Merry Xmas y’all.” - IVY LAB

Moving towards the end of the year and it's time for a temperature change as Critical gets ice cold with the talents of D&B scene newcomer, Foreign Concept. Although a relatively fresh face Foreign Concept has already made quite a name for himself have signed tunes to the likes of Samurai, Ingredients, Shogun and Commercial Suicide. Here Kasra picks possibly the cream of the crop with a release that has been hitting clubs hard all over for the past few months. Sometimes the only answer is 'Mob Justice'. A staggered break, industrial fx and drifting pads open it up with the by now familiar to most 'hang from the gallows' vocal that signals the drop into some enormous droning sub-bass with twisted fills and oldskool amen edits. Cuts deep in the mix on any worthy sound system; a Critical anthem for all the Fabric regulars.

OUT NOW - Featuring on Critical Presents: 15 Years Of Underground Sonics (album)
[5x12" vinyl box set, 8gb USB, Digital, Stream] - https://criticalmusic.com/rele....ases/critical-presen
Critical Music reaches its 100th release in its 15th year, celebrating with the landmark album ‘Fifteen Years Of Underground Sonics’. Spanning the broad spectrum of drum & bass that the Critical sound represents, the exceptional ‘15’ album is as bold as it is beautiful and looks to serve the test of time in the D&B history books.
“Over the past 15 years the label I started as a hobby, as a way to involve myself in drum and bass, has taken over my life. I’m so lucky to have worked with such incredible artists, have them realise their creativity, and travelled all over the world spreading the sound I love.
I deliberated for a long time over what type of record we should put together to celebrate reaching both our 15th birthday and 100th release. I like to think of us as a label that looks forward, that focuses on what the future holds and on how to make statements without sacrificing our core ideals, to release exciting music centred around the 170bpm tempo. So with this in mind I wanted the LP to be about where the label is now and where it’s going, a snapshot of the music that represents the Critical sound by core label acts and some choice friends.
This album is an insight into Critical Music in 2017 and a thank you to all who have been involved in any way over the past 15 years.” Kasra Critical

The ‘Dragonforce’ EP could be the best work yet to emerge from the studios of Laurence Reading aka Halogenix. Flipping from the Japanese comic book influence of the title track to the beautiful future soul of ‘Independent’ is something not many other producers are capable of. ‘Tekina’ brings even more ingenuity with a delicate light/dark fusion whilst ‘Reminisce’ is awash with warmth and ethereal feels. An essential EP.
Dragonforce EP is out 8th May on 2 x 12″ Vinyl / Digital

An album of pure street-felt expressionism drawing influence from global multi cultures, his cascading eclecticism runs throughout making for a raw, uncompromising journey true to the Sam Binga sound.
