STHoldings Ltd

Critical music is a UK drum n bass label releasing some of the freshest breaks and beats around. Created and nurtured by Kasra, the imprint has gone from strength to strength over recent years. 2009 has seen this continuing with massive releases such as the Break remix of Spectrasouls “Alibi” and Sabre’s glorious “Original Sin”.

To usher the Autumn in Critical Music are proud to announce the forthcoming release of their latest album project. Following on from the huge All Sounds Electric Series we bring a new concept – “Critical Sound”. 8 tracks from the hottest producers in drum and bass right now housed in a deluxe gatefold 4×12″ vinyl package along with an equally stylish 2xCD gatefold set featuring a total of 19 tracks! If you are one of the new breed of digital DJ who still likes to support vinyl or if you want to get yourself a big treat it’s the musical combo that keeps on giving.

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’. A storming selection of the cream of todays scene.
The CD package combines the vinyl tracks with a whole extra disc of fresh material. Dubstep champ Ramadanman comes with his own brand of stripped down dnb, Russian new kid Enei brings the future flavour and we are privy to the first ever solo production from label boss Kasra with his own track perception.

This is the Critical Sound….
