Critical & Beatsmith

Bounce

Biography

Critical has been featured in Beatport's Top 100 Dubstep, Breaks, and Glitch Hop charts. His remix of M.E.L.T. made it to #1 on the TrackItDown Dubstep top 100. Early vinyl work led to radio play from BBC Radio One on the legendary Annie Nightingale's show (UK) and a guest mix for The Crystal Method on the weekly "Community Service" show on Sirius Satellite Radio. His hit "The Way I Feel" earned him commercial radio play in London and Spain, which led to an international tour and a radio show on the multi-award-winning BreaksFM. Critical was ultimately produced on several labels and other musical genres, including Dubstep, Glitch Hop, Hip Hop, Pop, House, and EDM. CRITICAL hails from Boulder, Colorado, and has lived in Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia. He landed his first residency at Victoria's premier electronica nightclub—Hush, two years before he was legally allowed to patronize the clubs!! Sadly, Jaime Yates, AKA Critical, passed from the earth on January 26th, 2018. His legacy lives on through his music, and a scholarship in his name is bestowed each year to a High School student who plans to pursue a music career.
