Crystal Clear & Zen ‘Heavy (VIP)’ & ‘Bullet’

After the monumental success of Heavy which saw ravers across the globe throwing some serious shapes, Crystal Clear and Zen are back with the much filthier remix. Enticing the listener with the ominous echoing of vocals and slow paced introduction, Heavy VIP takes virtually no time at all to break out into dance floor destruction. Mercilessly brutal percussion is teamed up with a powerful bass line in delightfully disgusting composition. If you thought Heavy was rude, just brace yourself for Heavy VIP. (more…)

Future Shock (Jubei Rmx)/Turn The Page (Need For Mirrors Rmx)

Having jumped back in the D&B saddle towards the end of last year with their stunning album ‘Turn The Page’ there’s been no turning back for Craggz & Parallel who’ve immersed themselves back in the depths the studio that they share with D Bridge and Kasra. With an array of beats lined up and ready to go C&P decided to let a couple of friends loose on two killer jams from said album; Need For Mirrors and Jubei, please stand up!

Jubei jumps up to add his take on ‘Future Shock’…and what a job he does. The intro is sick, the drop is sick and the tough drums are just….sick! Bass stabs and surges into the mix like a precision swordsman as the track gets to work demolishing those who bare witness. An awesome dropout ensues and we’re back into it right up to the end. Big bad and very, very heavy. (more…)

CALIBRE – Piano Bizness/Smooth Baby

With our Indian summer holding strong it seems to have spread into camp Critical too as the label that’s delivered the finest grade D&B since 2002 drops another sumptuous release from the man with the Midas touch, Calibre. Showing off his more experimental self is a release that sits perfect on the Critical mantle, sit back and enjoy.

‘Piano Bizness’ is exactly that. A simple stepping break underpins the warm piano moves and seemingly delicate bassline with subtle vocal drops that make for a beautifully mesmerizing slice of Calibre magic. Deepness for a 4am floor or those late night smoking sessions. (more…)

Blu Mar Ten – Love Is The Devil – Blu Mar Ten

Love is the Devil is Blu Mar Ten’s follow-up to the runaway success of previous album, Natural History and showcases another development in the trio’s consistent work at the cutting edge of Drum & Bass, musically, conceptually and technically.

From the epic vistas of Into the Light, the intricate musicality of All Thoughts Are Prayers, the brooding darkness of Hollow Men, the sweetness of High Hopes, the shockingly technical Blue Skies and the ethereal Sweet Little Supernova, the album represents two years of solid work and delivers 18 tracks of pure quality from every known corner of the genre and some that have yet to be invented.
