Review: Shogun's SGN offshoot was made for fresh bullets like this. A brand new act comprising rising Leeds artists Precision and Subdivision, Koherent make their debut with this breezy atmospheric stepper. "Night Cycles" rolls with a Lenzman or Spectra-esque cold soul feel thanks to the pads and a subtle-but-surging vocal that's all brought together with a warm purring bass. Restrained but weighty, this is how you debut your new project.
Review: Eighteen months and two cameos on Headz and Hospital since his last SGN:LTD soiree, west coast soul merchant Submorphics returns with four more moments of deep drum & bass clarity. The lead track that has that dusty sample feel that rolls with a loosely hewn restraint very similar to early 2000s Makoto or perhaps Calibre cuts. "Stratospheres" sees him team with US MC of the moment T.R.A.C for a cool roller that wouldn't have gone amiss on any Progression Sessions album. "Arcata" shows Submorphics's darker side with a S.P.Y-style cosmic stepper while Christian Tamayo brings serious soul and sensuality to the swooning synths of "Lost In The Lights". Think Riya and you're on the right track.
Review: Whatever the world throws at you, you can always count on San Fran-based Submorphics to take the hurt away with his deep flows and soulful vibes. Smooth and shimmering, "The Divine" featuring Jenna G is everything that's good and peaceful in the world of liquid rollers. Proper soul food. Effortlessly moving through hip hop stylings, old school breaks and thick, rumbling basslines, no matter your musical taste, there will be something here for you. A standalone piece of drum and bass beauty. Treat yo'self.
Review: Liz E is no stranger to the harder side of D&B having begun her days in the proving grounds of Helter Skelter and Slamming Vinyl and joining SGN:LTD for this double she's decided to leave her mellow side at home. "I Need You" is a blistering rampage through darker sounds and rapidfire breaks, guaranteed to have crowds working up a sweat. "On My Mind" rolls hard but has a softer, more soulful heart, channelling Brazilian vibes and soaring strings alongside tightly-wound percussion and a big, beautiful bassline. Liz E has style and it's great to see her repping her unique influences with the Shogun crew.
