Available from all good record stores and digital retailers from October 26th 2009.
Each track on this album encapsulates all that is great and good about underground drum and bass. From the blissful beat workout of Break’s ‘People Are Different’ to the blistering tech-infused funk of Spectrasoul’s ‘Wedgehead’ this is a storming selection of the cream of todays scene.
The CD package combines the vinyl tracks with a whole extra disc of fresh material from a myriad of hot nu-skool talent. Dubstep champ Ramadanman comes with his own brand of stripped down dnb whilst Russian new kid Enei brings the future flavour and we’re even privy to the first ever solo production from label boss Kasra with his own track ‘Perception’. As ever it’s another milestone in the label’s glittering discography. This is the Critical Sound….
