Review: Buckle up, because Particle is taking us on one wild ride with his latest album "Pyro" on Critical Music. This 10-track juggernaut is a full-throttle excursion through the gnarliest terrain of jungle and drum & bass. Right from the jump on the opening cut, Particle flexes his funky bassline muscles to get things properly greased up. But don't get too comfortable - by the closing VIP remix he's dropped the hammer and has the whole thing redlining in the most deliriously unhinged way. This is an artist operating at the peak of his powers, seamlessly blending classic jungle/D&B fundamentals with meticulously futuristic production chops. There's something for the old-school heads and fresh recruits alike on this album. Longtime jungalists will get misty-eyed over the cavernous subs and proving garage-bred breaks of tracks like "Fooling." But Particle also caters to the new-age barneys on tunes such as "Assassin" and "Needles" complete with enough manic robotic contortions to have you rapidly evacuating your flesh vessel. Not one to rest on his laurels, Particle keeps things utterly weird too. "REM" is a deliciously unhinged descent into stuttering jungle psychedelia. And his link-up with Inja on "The Message" injects a taut, nerve-shredding atmospherics that'll have you sweating through three layers of merino wool. Don't sleep on this one, ravers.

Review: Bringing serious funk to Kasra's imprint one banger at a time, Particle fires up the groove machine once again with 'Let It Go' and 'Double Stack'. The former takes reference from UKG in both its vocal style and chord progressions while the latter goes on more of a cold and spacious sense of groove magic. Both absolutely shatter up all dancefloors within a 50 mile radius. Is there anyone funkier on Critical Music than Particle right now? We don't think so!

Review: Celebrating two decades deep in the game, Critical Music deliver this exceptional 22 track collection from some of the most innovative artists in the bass field. From old label mates such as Sam Binga, Mefjus and Ivy Lab to exciting newcomer talents like Spectral, Able and Cauzer, the entire collection is a blistering jolt of futurism that ranges the full Critical spectrum. Highlights range from the introspective tones of Buunshin's 'Forget About Me' to the dark, tense minimalism of Calibre's 'Verstat' by way of the barbed soul of Halogenix's 'IDGAF'. Here's to another 20 years...

Review: Morgan Freeman drove Miss Daisy, Robert De Niro drove a taxi. Now let Particle drive you crazy with one of his best tunes to date. 'Drivin' Me Crazy' takes off where the likes of 'Fall 2 Fast' left us with its purring, sultry sense of dark funk. Soulful but in a twisted 2022 way, this is the sound of Particle really finding his groove. Continue for an equally charming bubbler from Particle and fellow new-gen badman Molecular. Excellently titled 'Switch Hunt', it's the moody yin to the title tracks vibrant yang. Crazy good.

Review: Sam Binga and Particle open up a whole can of party whoop-ass on us with this powerful new Critical EP. 'Rude Girl' with OneDa instantly steals the show with on-point lyrics from the rising killer Manny MC and bassline bubblier than a clown in a champagne factory. The whole EP maintains the same unruly pressure; 'Skrrrrr' is cantankerous like a fourth lockdown, 'Stand Tall' sees them link up with Redders for a fast-lane slice of sci-fi rompy-stompy while 'Business Jungle' closes the EP with a tongue-in-cheek tribalistic take on 4x4 music. Skrrrrrrt lush mate.

Review: 25 years in the game! The world's longest-standing D&B platform continues to represent drum & bass culture in the best and most upfront way possible with this incredible collection of tracks from right across the whole scene. Loaded with legends and new generation cats alike, with all ages and styles in between, the album ranges from the likes of Bukem's first release in many years - 'Flip The Narrative' to J Majik's hardcore-heaving 'Blake' by way of Bcee & Dynamite's 'Run', A.M.C's carnivalesque 'Brazil' and Visages & Kyrist's squelchy, dark funk piece 'Mirai'. These are just some of the many, many highlights on offer. With names like Particle, Digital & Charla Green, Ben Snow, Athena, Trex and so many more, this is a fantastic way to celebrate a quarter of a century in the game. Here's to the next 25 years.

Review: Particle is part of the next generation of D&B producers who have been so successful in breathing a bit of new, invigorating air into a scene typically dominated by a handful of older producers. Critical Music are one of the best labels at pushing these new guns and Particle's second full length ep on the label is evidence of that. His already trademark style is in full force on this release, with track one 'Bang' the best exemplification: breaksy, dark, pummelling and with a serious sense of menace exuding from Magugu's vocal line. This is a headsy EP and not one to miss.

Review: Critical's newest addition to their already star-studded roster is Particle, a young-gun on a mission and a producer whose combination of old school sonics, foghorn-era influences and minimal finesse makes him a perfect fit for Kasra's underground institution. His contribution to the renowned Binary series is his first full-length outing on the label and it's fantastic. 'Tape Pack Flex' brings rough drums and a rougher bassline to the table, its satisfying wobbliness kicking off the release perfectly. The broken force of 'the Arrival' is another highlight, as is 'Neptune's blend of modernist and old-school vibes. Wicked release.

Review: In terms of legendary status for labels over on the jungle/jump-up side of the scene, it's pretty hard to beat Serial Killaz. Run by the duo of the same name, the imprint has arrived with the second instalment of their mixtape series and it's unsurprisingly good. Full of big tunes from guys like Serial Killaz themselves, Vital Elements and Upgrade, it's the latter of these guys that takes the cake with 'Steel Drum'. You've probably heard this one doing the rounds and it's actually already been released, but oh boy what a tune this is: a screaming, siren-lake mash of grating metallic synths and punching drums all come together to make an unstoppably good piece of music. Don't sleep on the rest of these tunes though, and a special mention goes to DJ Hybrid's 'Beatbox' - naught jungle vibes.

Review: Based in Walsall, the Chameleon Audio imprint, headed up by MoJoe and Chemist RNS, has been one of the most impressive midlands based movements in recent years. This latest compilation entitled 'Colours' sees them gather together a selection of their finest troopers, including the likes of Chemist RNS, Aranha, Triple S, Particle and more. We also some exciting debuts from the likes of Defiant and Khabs as well as stormers from S3 Dubs with 'Blur' and Sensi with 'Corvus'. For us the standout track of the whole compilation comes from grimey man of the minute Jakebob alongside fellow producer and vocalist: Rakjay entitled 'Sailor Jerry's. The pair get busy on this one as they lay down some skippy UKG flavours and electric vocal flows.

Review: Chameleon Audio had a big year in 2016, instilling their name on our charts as regular go-getters ad quality scouts of new talents in the bass game. This is one of those leviathan compilations where even the most critical of DJs will find something to jump up about, as there is so much damn gear on this badboy! Tunes by the likes of Jacotanu, KXVU, and Policy deliver some much-needed grime lashings, while others like Strap C and Imtek's "Bubble, or even "Shakeup" by Particle, break out the London half-step riddims for the heads. From dub to house, the influences in these things are vast and unmatched. Dig through it.
