"The Criminal Sessions" compilation features 19 of Criminal Records artists.

The Criminal Sessions features Norton, Kent Thompson, Lowstar, Kaibosh, The Kut, Shuffle, Crow, Crayon, Spider Redundant, Morviscous, Sonja Van Linden Tol, Giantkind, Daniel, Dead Eye, The Mystery Artist, The Dirty Pins, Les Figurines, Kallinger Co. and DTI + Hypercube.
'Criminal Records presents The Mystery Artist. The lighter side of industrial is grasped in this self titled EP and The Mystery Artist was signed by Criminal Records through his management. It is unclear whether his identity will ever be known publicly. Sounding like a cross between Joy Division and Mortice, the songs are catchy, melancholic and dark.'
'This North London band go full thrust with powerful tracks and strong melodic vocals. Despite meandering through their mid twenties, their sound has been described as old school rock soul burnt at the edges with a fresh and new perspective, hard hitting rhythms, jazzy keys, riff laden guitars and soaring vocals.'
'Often described as 'dark, commanding, indie rock', Giantkind's sound provides melodious, powerful songs and "#one" EP features four powerful new tracks. Described as 'skewed, melodic music' that conjures 'beautiful aural pictures', the EP represents a firm indication of future direction.'
