Review: Binga and Redders join forces once again for a unique hybrid of digi-dub, dancehall and D&B. "Tek Nah Chat" is spacey, gritty and primed for the dance as both characters' unique styles complement each other with physical rawness that no other producer/MC combo can boast (with, perhaps, the exception of Phizzy and Strategy) Further on we get all tripped out by the bending toplines and woozy synths of "Elastic", we get pranged out by the late night future grime "Steppin" and get thrusted back to the oldest of schools with the rampant jungle homage "Chasic". Not a dull moment, Binga is in a league of his own right now.

Ultra Luxe EP (clear marbled vinyl 12" + MP3 download code in debossed sleeve)
Cat: CRIT 165. Rel: 19 Mar 21
Drum And Bass
Review: Critical Music remains at the forefront of drum & bass, and its no wonder when they can call upon such visionaries and forward-thinking creatives as Sam Binga & Chimpo. This is their first joint release for a number of years and comes after they have minted a new high end fashion atelier 'Maison Binga-Chimpoix' with their SS21 collection, which presents us this classy 'Ultra Luxe' sound. It is full throttle jungle with classic 90s motifs next to futuristic ideals, rip-snorting bass undermining fierce drum programming and plenty more besides. Our pick of the collection is 'Murda Dem' (feat Slay), an ice cold rhythm with wobbling low ends and precision percussion.

Wicked & Bad EP (orange marbled vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: CRIT 153. Rel: 25 Sep 20
Drum And Bass
Review: Linking up for the first time since 'Thoroughbred', kindred spirits Sam Binga and Hyroglifics collide to create their biggest collaborative body of work to date; 'Wicked & Bad'. Not just a kooky title, it truly is loaded to the lips with naughty... The opening system shaker 'Wicked' with long-time compadre Redders, the ice cold electro thrills of 'Wits End', the Riko Dan-front bubbler 'Bad' and the trippy instrumental grime finale 'No Dice' are all primed with the wickedness, and indeed badness, one needs to survive in these nonviable times. Critical in more ways than one.

Review: Continuing to lead from the front after years at the top of its game, the next Critical release is a four track collaborative project which features Mefjus, Enei, Upgrade, Chimpo and TI. It's a seriously heavyweight dance floor ready record primed for maximum destruction. Bou & Upgrade kick things off with 'Creeper' a dark and devastating stepper with menacing vocals from Chimpo. Bou then links with Enei for a taught and bouncy cut with steely drums before Mefjus joins in for the drilling, frazzled synth work of 'Wormhole.' Last of all is the 'Road Runner', another red hot riddim with expertly designed bass.

Review: A much loved figure across the D&B spectrum, Break brings us his next utterance on none other than Critical Music, who are enjoying their time in the limelight at the moment, following Kasra's recent Fabriclive mix. Here, we see Break doing what he does best in "Here We Go" as he goes in hard and fast, with pounding bass; those unmistakable Break er, breaks; and plenty of fury in the grinding synths which pepper this spectacular release. "Soundwaves", in some ways a slightly less intense cut, pairs a muffled reggae vocal, with almost impenetrable sub bass and low-end frequencies.

Review: One of the scenes biggest new talents, Break. Harking back to the Viral days of tech-funk, this single is a showcase of neuro groove at its best. Tight beats, driving bass and awesome production are the mark of this producers output and this 12" is no different. Support has come from all the best the scene has to offer, including: High Contrast, Ed Rush, Cyantific, Logistics, Friction, London Elektricity, Subfocus and more.

Review: We are real suckers for the work of Dutch producer and drum & bass don Coco Brcye here at Juno HQ. To us, everything he does is gold, and so we're delighted to see him on the influential Critical Music label with a new, grey marbled 12" that packs a punch across his three originals. There is a darkness and menace to opener 'Dial M For Myor' that dissipates and is replaced by hi-tek soul on 'Change Of Heart' with its plunging bass and flurries of snares. 'Daktari' is the deepest and silkiest of the lot, with two remixes bolstering an already cool package.

Review: We shouldn't need to hype Critical Music up to you too much - the label is a true staple of underground drum & bass after all. Even so, it's exciting to see two powerful forces coming together, and Coco Bryce remains at the top of his game bowling onto this EP for the London imprint with the cheekily titled Nirwana EP. The title track is a delicate, melancholic affair with some smart vocal snippets arranged into an emotive framework before we drop into some outstanding Apache chops. 'Pull Up' meanwhile offers its own distinctive flair with jazzy key licks sprinkled in the breakdown before a coolly dispatched Think break kicks in across the mix. There are ravier synth stabs at work on 'Daze Of Our Lives' and 'Life Changed' lets a little dub slip into the mix, not least thanks to the proper sub line rounding out the bottom end of this typically classy joint with that distinctive Bryce flair about it.

Review: London based drum and bass label Critical Music announce their staggering 55th release straight from the studio of SP:MC, Jubei and Dakuan, aka, Code 3, whose contributions to the genre haven't gone unnoticed in recent years. "What You Sayin" opens with simple two-tone chords and staggered break, eventually pounding into fearless snares and thudding subs. Intriguingly subtle at times, smooth keys dive and duck between the heavy drums and thunderous bass lines. The unique combination of the two tempos propel "What You Sayin" into the realm of D&B elegance. Over the page, "Double Dipped" intros with tremendous breaks, spaced out pads and a double bass that's far too easy to get lost in.

Review: Manchester lynchpin Dub Phizix has already had his hand in one of this year's standout tracks in the monstrous Skeptical & Strategy collaboration "Marka" and his debut on the Critical Music imprint has him pitching up with some comparable heat. "Never Been" sees him team up with another regular on the Manchester D&B scene in Fox, and the interplay between the stripped down hyper flex and micro drum edits of the producer and the sick delivery of the vocalist has badness written all over it. Complementing this is the obese sounds of "Codec" with a huge square bass flex pressurising the simple steppah groove to the outer reaches of your attention - super fresh sounds on this one!

Review: One of D&B's most exciting prospects, Emperor steps up to Kasra's revered Critical with his first full EP. Known for his devastatingly fiery brand of drum & bass, here he playfully flips the switch with two much deeper, soulful cuts. "Begin" is a complex breathy beast; all dreamy and glitchy. Imagine Lamb produced by Calyx & TeeBee. All we need to say about "She Said" is this: "Brown Paper Bag" flavoured double bassline. Only funkier. Oh yes.

Review: Yorkshire's darkest D&B talent Emperor steps up with yet another forthright slab or triple-track grit. "Passed Up" has a bass presence that's near-overwhelming thanks its bulbous drone that refuses to quit. "SMPL" strips things back and looks more towards the late 90s Ed Rush & Optical style techstyle - loopy with real mechanical bite, it's a surgical shamanistic heads down affair. Finally "Mind Games"; a ruthless bass ripper that's almost jump up in its attitude, you can't help but think of Ram Trilogy at their finest when this pops off. With potential to unite all sub genres and sides of the D&B dance, Emperor has well and truly smashed it here.

Review: Hello! Two of drum & bass's most talented young individuals Emperor and Mefjus collide for two firing collaborative originals and two remixes of each other's work. As you'd expect, each one of them kicks like a mule on heat. "Disrupted" knocks from the left-side in a truly unique fashion thanks to its off-beat rhythm and jarred guttural bass while "Void Man Void" goes for that furry little jugular of yours with walloping bass and an array of neuro textures. Meanwhile on the remix tip, Emperor adds an added sense of tear-out grit to Mefjus's "Signal" while Mefjus injects a little more space and spooked out drama to Emperor's "Precursor". Truly outstanding.

Review: Neurofunk was always an enviable art, but for far too long it remained in the strict purview of artists deserting pop drum n' bass - and in turn trying to prove who was the cleverest sound designer on the scene. En Vy's new EP for Critical Music signals we've had an attitude change; this is 'neurofunk' that approaches the sound from a much more measured stance, swapping out all the crazed sound design turns and out-of-place Reese womps for more meditative and critical musicianship. The EP shows off a good ear for subgenre knowhow; 'UFO' has a jump-up feel to it that is nonetheless nicely skippy and pure, while 'Beautiful Dreamer' is by far the standout - with dreamy vocals compelling a tonal lead rhythm to produce an overall sub-heavy dream-vibe.

Review: Russia's D&B golden boy Enei hasn't released a bunk tune since he first emerged on Fokuz and Subway almost five years ago. So let's face it; he's not about to change this habit on his debut solo album. Yup, Machines is every bit - and club ready - as you'd expect it to be. Immersive bass depths laced with industrial force and just the right balance between clinical mastery and raw soul, it's Enei at his least bunk ever. Highlights include the hymnal dark bouncer "The Moment" (with DRS), the Reinforced-meets-"Up All Night" flavours of "Elephant" and the stark minimal theory of "Trainchaser".

Review: We can happily confirm that Enei is in startingly good form on his first solo release for nigh on 12 months, delivering a quartet of cuts rich in bombastic bass, punchy D&B drums and his usual aggressive, forthright electronic sounds. He hits the ground running with opener "Voices", a peak-time ready affair where quick-shot Amen fills and echoing vocal snippets occasionally punctuate a typically rolling affair, before reaching for one of the biggest and darkest basslines known to humankind on the enormous "Recoil". Veteran Bristol mic man Jakes lends his distinctive rap flow to hot-stepping Particle collaboration "Fame", while skittish closing cut "Rollin Machine" very much lives up to its title.
