2018 repress in plain white sleeve. Critical come extremely correct once more with what is bound to be an early summer smash as a certain Dub Phizix picks up where the almighty Marka left off. Teaming up with fellow Manchester scene stalwart Fox proves an inspired choice here which Critical just couldnt ignore, so invited him back to drop these two more astonishingly fresh tracks for this, his second outing on the label. Simply put, >Never Been< is baaaaaad man business. A lean, stripped back percussive intro leads us to a breakdown where Fox greets us with the sickest of vocal hooks that you will be trying to decipher until the end. When the tribal half-time break drops its time to bounce as the undulating b-line rolls heavy throughout with Dub Phizix teasing with awesome drumedits and Amen shakedowns. Riddim! Cinematic soundscapes and a solid beats combine on >Codec<, a more bass-led slab of equally dance floor drum & bass that retains the Dub Phizix air of originality with an experimental break the kicks like a mule. Another winner without doubt from a very exciting splinter cell coming out of the north of the UK right now.
