SUBCRIMINAL - OLD STORIES - XAMNT013 by X-AMNT published on 2022-06-20T19:01:27Z X-AMNT presents Dragon EP 2, the latest record from DJ and producer Subcriminal. The follow-up to his 2021 EP, Dragon, Subcriminal delivers a vision of drum & bass that balances hard and soft textures. Blissful synth work is backed by punchy rhythm lines, resulting in an imaginative body of work with plenty of exciting ideas. 'Chapters' kicks off the EP. Bright chords shine in the introduction before warm sub-bass joins the mix. Subcriminal drops a quick break sample, and we're into the verse, where sturdy percussion, warbling bass, and pitched vocal samples create a euphoric atmosphere. 'Shimmy' is up next. Lush chords engulf the ear in the introduction before the track descends into a dancefloor smasher. It's all in the arrangement. Skittering drum lines, creeping bass sounds, and weightless pads makes the listener elicit a screwface and lose their mind. 'Dragon Quest' is built around an eerie melody, which is eventually chopped up and layered in the mix alongside crunching riffs, warbling low-end and hard-hitting percussion. 'Flashing Lights' is strictly for the dancefloor, defined by rave-inspired vocal cuts and big-room bass sounds designed to get bodies moving. 'Old Stories' closes the EP. Subcriminal lays down a driving rhythm section that propels the tune forward, but the real stand-out is the stirring melody line. Deep and exploratory, it conjures up that end-of-night feeling, where the night bleeds into the morning, and all that's left is good friends and better memories. Dragon EP 2 will arrive to Juno Download & Spotify on 24th August, landing on all digital platforms a week later on 31st August.
