Critical’s beloved new-kid-on-the-block Modulations imprint draws up another naughty storm in the form of ‘Stack’ b/w ‘Sent Down’ featuring Script. Having had releases on top-notch labels including Metalheadz and Critical, London-based FD is swiftly gaining recognition for upping the dance floor ante with scrumptiously deep demeanor. ‘Stack’ is a stepper that delivers efficient pulse and vibrancy, notably in its teasing bassline and clean snare, peppered with bleeps and vocals conjuring a feel of eerie, futuristic spaceage. The AA side retains the energetic deep-liquid flow - ‘Sent Down’s initially gentle pads venture into a neat, nasty break and a mean grizzly, almost unpredictable, bassline. Listen out for the dark distorted vocal that brings you down to the darker corners of the dance floor. Shimmying symbols linger above the downright devilish drum-kit. Definitely a playful bass-heavy monster,’Sent Down’ is a shuffling pumper of a tune that deserves to wake the neighbours. And if they hate that resonating, violating bass, it can only be a good thing. DJ support from Noisia, Loxy, Logistics, Kasra, Ulterior, Motive Jubei, DJ Lee, Octane
