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: Kasra, the head honcho of Critical Music, kicks off the label's 2024 releases with "Dream Metal," an 8-track exploration of deep, atmospheric drum & bass. Kasra brings together a diverse cast of vocalists and producers, each adding their unique flavour. From the haunting vocals of Slay on "City Of Rain" to the infectious energy of Killa P on "Running Red," the collaborations keep things fresh and exciting. The album goes from atmospheric opener with its ethereal vocals and pulsating bassline with "Spaceman", a more dancefloor-oriented track, with infectious energy and a killer vocal performance with "Talk Up" to take a turn with "Shatter," a darker and heavier layering intricate sounds and textures. "Dream Metal" lives up to its name, weaving a soundscape that's heavy on atmosphere and introspective vibes. Deep basslines pulsate, intricate drum patterns weave through, and haunting melodies drift in and out.
