Halogenix raises the bar once more, flipping between the light and the dark of his ‘Gaslight EP’. The exquisite summertime bounce of ‘Out Of Line‘ featuring SOLAH on vocals and the future liquid of ‘Would You’ give the perfect balance to the frenetic paranoia of title track ‘Gaslight’ and ‘Line B’. One of his best releases to date.

1. Out Of Line feat.SOLAH
2. Gaslight
3. Line B
4. Would You

After the original ‘Champion EP’ hit the shelves late last year the Sam Binga and Rider Shafique selection was immediately picked up by the almighty Sir David Rodigan and Toddla T. The ever-eclectic Binga found himself in fine form showcasing his love of proper dancehall. Now in 2018 the ‘Champion EP Reloaded’ brings it back with an array of ready remixes that pick up where the first left off.

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.

Emerging last year as Austria's latest drum & bass talent to take the world by storm, Martin Mefjus as been on a serious roll with his music featuring heavily in the sets of the scenes biggest players. Never ones to rest on their laurels Critical were listening and snapped him up all for themselves as the latest to join the Critical roster alongside Enei, Foreign Concept, Xtrah and Emperor. Now as he readies his debut solo release on the label, Mefjus looks set to take things up a gear.

'Signalz' has been damaging dance floors at Critical events across the land these past few months and now it's time to get up close and personal with this utterly disgusting beast of a tune and see what the fuss is about. The build up is all epic pads and smattering percussion but it's the main event with its colossal bass drone and frenetic drums that's gonna grab you and never let go until the next tune drops in. Watch for the sick edits and switches to keep you on your toes. Truly big, stinking and nasty!
Next up label boss Kasra joins forces with the young Austrian on another absolute belting slice of technoid drum & bass that's been getting Critical's Fabric sessions in all sorts of bother of late. 'Cypher' is pure future with the synth stabs to match and bassline to smash, showing some strong sturdy roots for possibly a few more collaborations from these two. Wait and see...

Manchester’s rising star Bou debuts his first solo EP with camp Critical, fronting Volume 15 of the Systems series. Stripped back, running from the electro bounce of ‘Fox Trot’ to Bou’s trademark jump-up styles of ‘Wine Ya B’, Volume 15 is an absolute gem.

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

Taken from the Critical Music presents Underground Sonics' various artist album (out now)

#UNDERGROUNDSONICS

"Lef Dem - further explorations of slow-fast danceability. Half-step beats, built from strange lumps of found sound, squashed 808 kicks and graunchy bongos. Redders over the top putting people in larders, telling them to gwan and suck banana. Equal parts ridiculous and rowdy. And then, in the middle, the graunched-up chords from some imagined, long-forgotten boogie tune... All just about hanging together, revelling in the madness." - Sam Binga

Critical keeps the fire burning from all angles as it introduces its brand new offshoot label series, Systems. Picking up from where the Modulations imprint left off, this new string of lovingly crafted releases will bring together music from across the electronic music spectrum from some of the most gifted of artists: beginning with Halogenix, one third of sublime production outfit, Ivy Lab.

About Systems:
"I love the idea of a series of releases, a chain made up of musical links released over a period of time then brought to a close. With Modulations I always meant for it to be like this, music that stands tall on its own but also as part of the Critical family. Systems is the next phase in this series." Kasra - Critical Music CEO
