Revenger EP

Brazil’s Critycal Dub steps out on Trigga Fingaz with Revenger, a four-track EP that shows just how broad his sound has become. Due 26 September 2025, it spans liquid rollers, rugged techstep, and stripped-back minimal workouts while keeping a cohesive sense of weight and purpose.

Opening cut Escape eases in with a deep, cinematic roller. Pads, vocal fragments and airy percussion give it that headphone-friendly quality, but the low-end still carries enough punch to hold a floor. It sets the scene for the tougher material that follows.

Gangsta Street flips into jungle-rooted territory, all steppy drums and distorted basslines that pay homage to the underground while keeping the production razor-tight. It feels tailor-made for heads-down moments in the rave.

The title track Revenger goes all-out techstep. Mechanical snares, reese bass pressure and suspense-driven atmospherics combine into a track that feels militant yet cinematic, a storm built for system testing.

Closing cut The Rider strips things back with a skeletal roller. Minimal percussion and hypnotic bass weight keep it locked in a groove that’s as useful for early-set pacing as it is for cutting through high-energy moments.

Formed in 2006 by DJs David Almeida and Thiago Borges, Critycal Dub has become one of Brazil’s most recognisable exports, with signings on V Recordings, Liquid V, Chronic and Deep in the Jungle and support from Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, DJ Hype and Fabio. Now helmed solely by Almeida, the project continues to merge emotional depth with heavy club functionality.

Revenger captures that ethos perfectly. It doesn’t chase trends, instead distilling the core of Critycal Dub’s sound into four sharp statements. For DJs, each track offers a different tool. For listeners, the EP flows like a story from introspection to intensity. Trigga Fingaz have landed a strong one here.

Revenger by Critycal Dub is out 26 September 2025 on Trigga Fingaz.
