Celebrating 12 years since its creation, independent drum & bass label Critical Music released its most comprehensive compilation in January. Underground Sonics, is an 18 track album consisting of releases from the past year which they describe as “an exciting overview of today’s drum and bass” scene and we completely agree. Put together by the label boss, Kasra Mowlavi and featuring tracks from Noisia, Phase, and Kasra himself just to name a few, this compilation is a must.
It’s been a few years since our last fully fledged label compilation so I wanted to ensure this one was as vital as possible. For me this album truly encapsulates the essence of Critical, a balanced mix of all that’s exciting about this music – heads down lights out rollers, experimental side steps and some slightly more aggressive attention grabbers. This album is made up of tracks by the core Critical acts alongside a select group of label friends and for me is a snapshot of where the label is at now and where it is heading. – Kasra
