#38 Feat. Staff Picks in Drum & Bass

Ten years on from the release of his highly acclaimed, award-winning debut LP Emulation, Mefjus shares five of the albums biggest tracks with his label-mates at Critical for the 2024 remix treatment. A landmark album in the genealogy of drum & bass music, the hard, heavy and supremely technical tracks gathered together for the original Emulation set a new standard in sound design and pushed the conventions of the genre to the very limit. Mefjus himself reworks original title track Emulation, flaunting his untouchable studio skills by balancing frantic rolling drums and expertly engineered sub bass with a his trademark otherworldly sound design to unleash an almost impossibly energetic track. Legendary D&B producers Enei and Calyx take a tune each; with Enei reworking Suicide Bassline into ultra-hard, minimal jump-up monster, while Calyx injects his signature molten, twisted bass into Surrounded to make it all his own. Two of Criticals most recent recruits complete the package, with VISLA transforming Saturate from a moody roller into a gritty stomper and Bristol-based SMG bringing Change Of Mind featuring MC Maksim bang up to date in style.
