Share
Returning to Phase Records DNB with a deep and dark statement, Oxford-based minimal king Artillery brings us an unforgettable release with his ‘Crossroads’ EP.
Following the success of his debut EP ‘Blood Overdose,’ Eliot has been pushing boundaries and refining his signature sound. ‘Crossroads’ marks a pivotal chapter in his journey, a release that captures the evolution he’s achieved over the past year and reflects the direction he’s heading. This is Artillery’s most exceptional work yet—a benchmark for where minimal Drum & Bass can go.
You know an Artillery track when you hear it. He has a rare gift for creating immersive, haunting soundscapes that feel like stepping into another world. Each track on ‘Crossroads’ begins with eerie pads and atmospheric layers, leading listeners down shadowy, twisting paths. Intricate drum patterns and razor-sharp percussion pull you deeper, and the drops deliver rolling, bouncy sub-bass lines that keep evolving with subtle but constant changeups, making the entire EP a dynamic, fresh experience from start to finish.
A defining feature of Artillery’s work is his attention to the second drops, which keep you locked in and often elevate the energy with clever twists—something his fans know and love.
For this release, Artillery teams up with the label’s head honcho Gifta on ‘Evil in Me,’ where both producers’ styles come together seamlessly. You can feel the contrast yet harmony between them as they combine to create a unique blend of dark, rolling vibes—a clear testament to their shared vision within Phase Records.
‘Crossroads’ isn’t just music; it’s the perfect soundtrack for a late-night journey through the city or into the depths of thought. This release is poised to stir up the scene and is sure to leave a lasting impression on the Phase Records audience. Prepare for a sonic experience that resonates long after the final track fades out!
Today we premiere ‘Deadman’ which you can check out below. The ‘Crossroads’ EP drop this Friday, 8th November. You can get your hands on a copy here!
