Basement Records is proud to present its 3rd reissue from the rare Street Beat 10" Series. This CD version features the 4 tracks from the 10" singles and 3 tracks taken from the Test Press of a Street beats 12" but was then released on Eze Gs own label Soundscape Records.
Critical Music reaches its 100th release in its 15th year, celebrating with the landmark album Fifteen Years Of Underground Sonics. Spanning the broad spectrum of drum & bass that the Critical sound represents, the exceptional 15 album is as bold as it is beautiful and looks to serve the test of time in the D&B history books.
Over the past 15 years the label I started as a hobby, as a way to involve myself in drum and bass, has taken over my life. I m so lucky to have worked with such incredible artists, have them realise their creativity, and travelled all over the world spreading the sound I love.
I deliberated for a long time over what type of record we should put together to celebrate reaching both our 15th birthday and 100th release. I like to think of us as a label that looks forward, that focuses on what the future holds and on how to make statements without sacrificing our core ideals, to release exciting music centred around the 170bpm tempo. So with this in mind I wanted the LP to be about where the label is now and where it s going, a snapshot of the music that represents the Critical sound by core label acts and some choice friends.
This album is an insight into Critical Music in 2017 and a thank you to all who have been involved in any way over the past 15 years.

Salvation is a moving soundscape from 4 beautiful lads, it's like The Sound Of Music for badasses. The flip side is the result of Cookie Monster visiting your studio to un-square it, de-nerdify it and steer it away from the 'Amazing Snare Demon and his Mixdown Massive'
Shouts to all who've been affected and upset by the passing of our good friend, Duncan Busto aka Spirit. Lets keep his name alive by playing his outstanding catalogue forever.
Q Project, Spinback, Digital & Spirit…. Amassing nearly 100 years of combined experience in the DNB scene, the four of them have done almost everything there is to do. Between them you can tick off virtually every major label from past to present - Metalheadz, Shogun Audio, Hospital, Exit, Dispatch, V Recordings, Renegade Hardware, Timeless, Reinforced, as well as their own imprints CIA, Phantom Audio, Function and Inneractive with a huge catalogue that spans dance floor anthems and underground classics alike.

A1: 'King Stays' A track that has been supported up and down, from Calibre to DJ Hype, this is one of the rare drum and bass cross spectrum of tracks. Release and T>I draw on both their strengths combining a minimal stripped back approach, whilst creating a bouncy and infectious funk, underpinned with deep subs and flashes of well know breaks. This is a track set to be a landmark in both producers back catalogues.
B1: 'Make me Feel' A fine balance of musical vibes and a deep underpinning rhythm. Release draws on driving drums and both synthesized and live bass hits to fill the body of the track. Musical samples and well placed FX come together perfectly to give this track a classic light and dark vibe, typical of Release's style.
B2 :'Giving Up' Pulling together classic vocals, rave samples and growly bass stabs, all working in harmony with a well know drum break, this track chops and pumps in all the right places, whilst giving away hints of nostalgia. This one is made for the floor.
