NEW SONICS

After debuting on the main stage at Boomtown, ‘Shunt’ is stripped-back, minimal D&B at its very best; showcasing Particle’s knack for carving enormous tracks from the simplest of basslines and the most spacious of drum grooves.

‘W4M’ - in collaboration with Austrian producer Wingz - refreshes with something totally different; layering soulful detuned chords and re-pitched vocals over deliciously clean drums and subs for a blissful roller to help soothe those early winter blues.

Sending out thanks to everyone supporting this one

"Drum and Bass compilations hold a special place in my heart, those early years spending time with the Logical Progression series, Platinum Breakz, Renegade Hardware & V Recordings box sets, and Reinforced Enforcers albums made me fall In love with this music.

To keep up this format I am proud to present the second edition of our New Energy series which is out now on all platforms. 21 tracks of cutting-edge underground sonics. I wanted this album to represent what excites me about drum and bass in 2024 and beyond. Showcasing label artists, long-time collaborators, and new friends who bring their own take on 170 bpm bass.

11 various artists albums in for Critical and working with the artists on this type of project brings me so much joy, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

- Kasra

The album is available to order now on a limited edition green LED USB or you can order as a packaged T-Shirt / USB bundle via the Critical store or Bandcamp.
