A legend on the rise again, 2013 marked the rejuvenation of one the most important labels in D&B’s history. With a renewed mission to release the hardest, most dance floor focused tracks, Bryan Gee’s Chronic has quickly found its feet once more. After a year that saw the label launch from a brand new look with the mighty Chronic Rollers as well as two releases from L-Side, Sativa Dub and Silent Type, Chronic is now ready to drop the gully sounds of ‘Warehouse Music’.
Kicking off 2014 with a very large bang, Chronic is taking D&B back to its roots on an undeniably deadly new compilation album. Featuring 24 tracks of awe-inspiring jungle drum & bass selected by the ever on point Bryan Gee, the aptly named album is an ode to the more stripped back, raw sounds of D&B’s past, all with distinct 2014 production power. From the industrial strength of Capone’s ‘I’ll Be Your’ to the jump-up howls of Need For Mirrors’ rudeboy roller ‘Trips’ and Critycal Dubs’ old skool bass mentality, the Chronic crew pull no punches and in doing so deliver a very welcome breath of fresh air to the sweaty enclaves of the drum & bass scene.
With the veteren amen master DJ Bailey drafted in to mix the CD album it’s yet another masterstroke and completes an utterly heinous release from a label looking set for even more throughout 2014. Big, bad and heavy.
