Spectral - Ikigai

Critical Presents Binary by Spectral → Over recent years, Critical Music’s talent-incubating ‘Binary’ series has given some of D&B’s most promising new artists a platform to showcase their fledgling skills and future potential. For its twenty-seventh instalment, Bristol-based DJ and producer Spectral joins the likes of Particle, VISLA and EN:VY by offering up her own debut four-track EP of moody, deep drum & bass that confidently holds its own amongst a powerful set of peers. From the dark soul of opening track ‘Crazy’, to the full-throttle dance floor pressure of ‘Submerge’, the brain-tapping near-techno of ‘Void’ and the strangely beautiful, epically scaled ’Ikigai’ - Spectral’s musical mandate falls neatly within the wider Critical sound. Spectral was selected back in 2020 from the EQ50 program - which aims to address gender inequality in drum & bass by providing mentorship opportunities with the genre’s most respected labels. Her inaugural outing for Critical suggests that she’s ready to help do just that. Spectral online: Facebook → Instagram → Spotify → Soundcloud →
