Critical’s Classic Corner

Dillinja [Nasty Ways]

Starting off with a soft melodic synth and a female voice asking for “Things to be like yesterday” Nasty Ways creeps into a nasty bass line dropping hard, fast and to the point. The drums take over with a snare drum that will not quit. The melody and vocal melody return for the breakdown. Filled with more snares that carry you into another build up of Nasty Bass and finally dropping into the grand finale with even more percussions added into the madness of this mazing classic from Dillinja. Available from London Music Stream/Because Music on Beatport Music.

Raiden [Fallen]

Raiden ushers you into [Fallen] with an eerie synth and beautiful ghostly vocals building up with  frantic snares and drums then back into the synth in the long ominous intro. The vocals bring you in as the bass line creeps up for the first drop. Then it’s an all out assault of bass, frantic snares / drums and grimy bass all accompanied by with the vocals. The bass line carries you through this masterpiece of drum and bass straight into the breakdown. The tension builds right away as the vocal pushes you into the second drop filled with even more drums and MASSIVE bass lines. Raiden really hit it out of the park with 8+ minutes of near perfection available on Renegade Hardware on Beatport Music.
