The multi-platinum selling artist also performed his new single When the Bassline Drops during the session, with Big Narstie alongside.
Craig David is set for a huge comeback in 2016, as he reclaims his garage crown with the help of grime master, Big Narstie.
“I am back in that 16-year-old kid mode, hungry, passionate and making music that I would want to bump in my ride and dance to,” said Craig.
While i-D wrote, “Craig David is still the king of UK garage. He’s back and proving that he’s still untouchable.” With Notion adding, “David’s comeback is set to be a major cultural moment.”
2015 also saw the returning star collaborate with the likes of Chase & Status, Diplo, Goldlink, Kaytranada, Bonkaz, Katy B and Shy FX, as well as sold out gigs and hotly-tipped festival appearances.
