Simula returns to Critical Music for his debut solo release; delivering four typically unabashed sonic monsters that smash the sub-genre conventions of drum & bass.
Having made his name with a unique style that sits somewhere between the playful simplicity of direct-to-dancefloor jump-up and more minimal, techier strains of the D&B spectrum, the variety presented on the ‘Salvo’ EP marks a further stride forward for Simula.
‘Venator’ is classic Simula with its relentless stepping drums punctuating a manic game of synthesiser call-and-response, while title track ‘Salvo’ brings serious drama as it alternates between hellish, wailing synths and heads down, low-end percussive workouts.
