about

Kicking off 2021 with a brand-new signing, Bunjy and Kickback's fledgling drum and bass label X-AMNT returns with the Dragon EP, a hefty four-tracker from emergent local talent Subcriminal.

Having made strides with recent releases on labels like Serial Killaz, Liondub and Deep In The Jungle, garnering support in droves from heavyweights of the scene including Noisia, Dillinja and Kenny Ken, the Bristolian producer is fast on the rise. The new project marks his return to X-AMNT following a colossal remix of Laid Blak's "Mic Man", which landed back in November.

Serving as a bite-sized concept album of sorts, the Dragon EP utilises ethereal vocal samples and sci-fi song titles to transport listeners into a mythical universe. First up, introduced with ebbing synths, "Dragon Egg" builds up to sparse, minimal drops, with brassy, winding leads ducking in and out of the mix in a dizzying game of call-and-response. "Flying Dragon", meanwhile, makes use of twinkling melodies, pitched-up vocal cuts and resonant subs to result in a breezy, feel-good roller.

Commencing with epic, drawn-out chords and atmospheric, delay-soaked outbursts, "Incubator" follows in the same vein as its predecessors, striking an expert balance between effervescent melodies and hard-hitting drops. Gravelly, reverberating synths dart around at a breakneck pace, underscored by pummelling kicks and slick, percussive clicks. Seeing out the EP is "Movie", an immersive slice of liquid bliss which pairs serene strings with meandering sub-bass, making for heartwarming results.

The Dragon EP lands 19 February exclusively via Spotify and Juno Download, hitting other retailers and streaming services a week later on 26 February.
