Next up on Critical Music's Modulations imprint comes a showcase from one of the most talked about names in UK hybrid bass music right now. Heavily supported by the likes of Kasra, Shy FX, dBridge, Mark Pritchard, Rockwell, DJ Die and many more, Sam Binga talks us through this dance floor fire release in his own words...

"I guess the main idea behind 'AYO!' was to make something crunchy and lo-fi, but still heavy enough for the floor. I think I was listening to a lot of Timbaland beats around the time I built this one - I've always loved the massive kicks and weird squashy snares he uses, so I wanted to try something along those lines at DnB speed. The rest seemed to flow quite organically and Redders brought his usual charisma and animation to the vocal. Like the man says, everyone knows he mashes up the show...

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

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.

A stunning collection of work presented on multiple formats including limited edition vinyl with hand-crafted packaging from the Ivy Lab boys themselves.

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
