Kasra is an integral part of and prominent figure in the UK underground scene. Using his own label, Critical, as a vehicle for
musical expression Kasra has been responsible for rooting out, guiding and nurturing high quality, pioneering drum and bass. In
the past five years, Kasra has created in Critical a unique identity that is respected the world over and has ultimately left an
indelible mark on the drum and bass scene.
Started at a time when new labels were popping up every day and failing after three months, Kasra put heart and soul into
Critical and stood firm. The label’s success is a testament to his ability to rise above the sometimes negative context in Drum n
Bass and turn what seemed like inevitable failure into a highly respected success.
In 2005 Kasra unleashed his first production venture, the dancefloor smash Babylon with Austrian producer Dkay (Brigand
Records). The track was a firm favourite with DJs across the board with Fabio declaring his allegiance to it on Radio 1 and labels
across the scene bidding to have it released under their banner. Further collaborations, such as Outer Limits with Cyantific and
Spider – again with D.Kay were equally hot property. Kasra’s latest production triumph, Warrior with Lomax, will be showcased
on the new Critical Sound Vol 1 EP out this September.
