Review: Ed:it has been away for a while and, based on the quality of this release, he's spent the majority of that time locked away in the studio, getting busy and building beats. This EP is the first part of a forthcoming LP and it's absolutely blown us away, with all four cuts resonating on multiple levels in a manner not many artists can pull off these days. With a distinct sense of layered funk, Ed:it has pulled out all the stops with four dancefloor cuts that still pack sophistication and soul. 'Dayz' is possibly our favourite, it's too hard to tell, but its double-bass enthused, low-frequency shakedown certainly makes it a strong contender.

Review: It's been a while since Ed Warrener blessed us with newness but all this is expected to change over the coming months with a new slew of Shogun sounds. And it starts right here with "Brink". Featuring the confident vocal prowess of Lady Soul, Ed.it gets his head down and drives out a restrained-but-barbed groove that sizzles and grunts in all the right places. Welcome back Ed.it.

Review: Shogun dream duo Technimatic's third album is here. Without a doubt one of the biggest and most hotly anticipated releases that 2019 is likely to see, Through The Hours is another herculean collection of rolling liquid cuts, atmospheric jungle and slower, steppier numbers. It's vintage Technimatic, basically, and 'Through The Nightfall' featuring Jono McCleery is the perfect example: luscious, deep, smooth as can be and so, so well produced. 'Goodbye Kiss' takes the cake for us, though, with a stereotypically euphoric introduction that drops down into sublime D&B - this is the genre at its best. Make sure you check this - you'd be stupid not to.

Review: Rising up from SGN:LTD, Monrroe makes his debut on Friction's main label Shogun Audio with the bright and breezy soulful roller "You Got Me". Featuring the raw urgent vocals of Hybrid Minds' mate Alexa Harvey, there's a barbed undercurrent and realness throughout , giving the track a powerful emotional uplift as Monrroe's warm beats drive the message home. We hope we'll be hearing more from the Bristol vibesmith on Shogun very soon...

Review: Was A Be is one of the most exciting talents in D&B. Formerly a duo but now a solo project, Fabio has stepped up his game immensely for this release and made evident the source of his inspirations in 90s hardcore and rave flavours. 'Tell Me' is a bouncing, stabby halftime cut that smacks of juke or hardcore, its off-beat stance injecting a real sense of character and simply pleasure. 'Move' is more dancefloor orientated, you'll recognise the sample and you'll definitely want to dance - shout-out to the rave piano. The title track - Overstep - is luxurious, rolling funk off-set by glitched synth stabs and tidal ambience. We're predicting this tune will be a dancefloor hit for sure - get it here first.

Review: Was A Be, a regular on both Shogun Audio as well as Critical Music, is back on Shogun for a fiery little single in their signature style. This is a Rockwell-esque stomper that employs one of the most widely recognizable samples in dance music and to be honest, it's not quite clear how much it cost to license that. Either way, we're not complaining because we a love a pummelling beat and rave piano like anyone else and Was A Be has nailed their execution here. The bassline is probably the highlight though, a murky, wobbling monster that shifts and changes each bar. Rockwell and Sam Binga must be proud but also slightly worried - Was A Be are coming for them.

Review: Cruising in the vapour trails of their "Vision" EP earlier this year, Shogun's GLXY return with another four track excursion that runs their emotionally charged gamut. "Infinite" (with Zero T) is a real zone chaser with big breeze pads and the assuring dulcets of Solah, "Revision" sits at a refreshing seven minutes while flexing an alluring vocal and devilish machine funk drop and "Discourse" rolls with such a sultry feel it's hard not to compare to a young Perez. Finally we hit the title track where a swung step which mutates into a pretty gnarly techy beast as the journey develops. One of their most accomplished and comprehensive EPs to date.

Review: Following on from last year's incredibly popular instalment, Shogun Audio have brought back Point of Origin for a third time. This series emphasises the rolling, minimal-ish side of the scene from some younger, more hungry producers and boy, is it a good formula. Exemplifying this is Revaux with 'Ibex', probably the nastiest tune on the album and arguably the best, as its crunching bass tabs inject fantastic groove. Rizzle and Malaky add something more sultry with 'Solstice' and 'Requiem', the former focusing on the vocals of Sydney whilst the latter opts for a more instrumental roll-out. Gerra & Stone represent the old guard amongst the newbies, holding up their end with a growling amalgamation of low-frequency force. This is an exquisite album of D&B, with every corner covered and every flavour recognizable - special props going to Shogun for supporting new talent as well.

Review: Having teased us with a little "LSD" earlier this year, then a sneaky peak of the EP with the well oiled sci-fi soul flips of "Reaching Through" earlier this month, Document One deliver their first full EP for Friction's label and it's a blinder. "Cosmic Funk" steps and slams like it's 98 on Virus all over again, "Aiight" is all about the tightly coiled spring groove, spacious dynamics and croak funk textures while "We Got It" plays the aggy UK stinker of the set. They got it... So can you.

Review: After a summer of hype and teasing, liquid golden boys Pola & Bryson finally unveil their highly anticipated sophomore set for Shogun and it's every bit as graceful, varied and on point as we'd hoped. Ranging from the tender piano touches and soft but urgent vocal of "24/7" to the starlit rush crusade that is "Stratford Riddim" to the soft focus soul feels of "Alkaline", it's once again another exercise in class, restraint and groove science from the unstoppable duo. An exceptional album.

Review: With just weeks before their second album Lost In Thought drops, Pola & Bryson tease us with another dreamy delight. "Night Dawns" is a lavish vocal cut that feels like it's jumped straight out of an iMax cinema mid screen and given you the greatest, warmest hug. Spacey, poignant, thoughtful but also weighted for the floors, this is the sound of a duo who are really getting to know their sound inside out. Bring on the album.

Review: The time has come... Pola & Bryson are set to drop their highly anticipated second album next month on Shogun Audio entitled Lost In Thought. "24/7" is the first peep into their next exciting chapter and it's a sight for sore ears. Graceful, delicate and laced with bags of space, it's a soulful saga with a perfect balance of dreaminess but enough subtle weight on the bottom to give this a serious booting on big systems.

Review: Signal on Shogun Audio... Now there's a partnership you'd buy stocks in. We kick off with "Doom Desire", a turbine harmonic explosion with a bassline that actually trims your beard if you're within 50 feet of the speakers. The deeper into the document we dent, the more twists in the tail we find... The naked grumbling stepper "Lost Victory" (with fellow new-gen murderation specialists Disprove & Fre4knc), the sultry vocal and introspective soundscapes of "How Will I Know" and the machine funk blunderbuss "Misery". By high, sell high: Signal's dealing out furiously fine dividends right here.

Review: Rising faster than a bitcoin bro's portfolio, young Dutchman Signal makes his full release debut on Friction's Shogun Audio. One track for now (but we suspect more is to come), "How Will I Know" develops the emotional side he started to truly reveal with his killer Camo & Krooked remix last year. Flexing a delicate vocal around sinewy fast lane beats with soul and subtlety, it's yet another precision piece of work for the unstoppable talent.

Review: Shogun wunderkind Joe Ford finally delivers his debut album in the form of Colours In Sound and it's a daring document by any stretch of the imagination. Slamming himself into the centre of a much wider D&B map than some assume he's known for, the opus stretches from springy bass riff elastic on the opener "Where Is The Sun" right through the grunting glitch finale "Enemy". In between we're treated to thundering vocal drama on "Out Of Place", sci-fi soul on "Said", dreamy Huntemann-style techno on "Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants" and savage headbanger wizardry on "Adrenaline" with Hacktivist... With plenty more loaded and coded in between, this is a remarkable piece of work from the highly respected next-gen artist.

Review: Rockwell bows out of Shogun with an absolute beast of an EP that's been gradually leaked out over the month. It kicks off with "Easy", an incredible Bristol bust-up with the man like Roni, before plunging us into dancehall-dented halftime darkness on "09 Track" and grime-galvanised chaos with the Flowdan-fronted "Inventor". Finally we conclude the "User", a rushed-out slice of euphoria that reminds us of Tom Rockwell's sensitive side. Acutely on point.

Review: Following the massiveness of his collabo with Roni Size, Rockwell teases us with another subversion excursion from his forthcoming "User" EP. This time tagging in with one of grime's most iconic and crystal clear voices Flowdan, "Inventor" is a bashment stamper with militant drums and serious sermons from the Roll Deep professor. The results speak for themselves. Bring on the full EP.

Review: Roni Size and Rockwell? Yes please! Two dons of their own respective games, both with very distinctive sounds; this really is a magic moment for Shogun Audio. It's one of those rare collaborations where you can hear both artists clearly with full complements to each other; Roni's off-beat bass funk, Rockwell's anarchy, both of their sense of pace and momentum. Slappy, steppy and shocky, this is a perfect example of how good collaborations can be.

Review: Yung Fordy returns to Shogun with this startling springy, emotionally rich future stepper. Trippy, warm and unpredictable, once again the northern producer flips expectations and brings a whole load of funk in the process. Pretty much in its own lane but the closest comparison would be Camo & Krooked. And that's a mighty strong reference point right there. We suspect plenty more next level ish is set to come from Fordy's laboratory very soon.

Review: When a label as consistent and as well rounded as Shogun Audio announce a 'Classics' release it obviously sends shivers around the drum & bass community. It's hard to imagine condensing thirteen years of dominance into a minimized box of thirty classics, but just looking at the tracklisting is awe-inspiring. We see classic reappearances from the likes of Friction, Spor, Break, Icicle, Rockwell, Spectrasoul, Alix Perez, Camo & Krooked and that's not even half of the names involved. To break it down simply, this compilation summarizes why Shogun hold such a legendary status within the scene, through incredible consistency and magnificent diversity of sound.

Review: Time for a freshness flex: Shogun return to their new and rising talent series Point Of Origin and once again it's a big deal with 15 crucial cuts from 20 outstanding and future-shaping artists; from the already established and massively respected such as Serum, Paul T & Edward Oberon, who follow up last year's massive "Take My Breath Away" with the deep space slinker "Burning", and Paul SG with his decidedly wobbled-out drumstick snapping roller "Holy Moly" right the way through to exciting new energies in the dance like Phaction, with his ghostly-vocalled soul-out "Distant Lovers" and Neve & Crimson's beautifully blue-notated jazz drum dark-out "Solar Rain" and so many stunning cuts in between (Mitekiss, Gerra & Stone, Was A Be, Macca & Loz Contreras, the list goes on) this is Shogun at its most exciting and forward-thinking.

Review: 13... Unlucky for some but not for yung Ed:It as it's exactly the amount of months since his last Shogun four-track breath-taker. As with everything he's dropped on Friction's label, the EP is an exciting full-vibe spectrum that explores myriad dark corners of the dance. "Junction" is all about the emotional power with its evocative vocal and touching chord progressions, "Nevermind It" flips the vibe with contrast as we're treated to a naked subby two-stepper before "Wander Away" takes us on an all-out soul juggernaut that tips its hat towards the Breakbeat Era style of vocal jazz-tinged drum & bass. Finally we have the grumbling bass stepper that Ed:It teased us with earlier this month: "Kovacs". All bases covered, there's a strong argument to start calling Ed:It Edward Winnerhands here. A very strong argument.

Review: "Kovacs" is Scavoks in reverse. Scavoks in Welsh means 'absolute banger mate'. Coincidence? No, just something we've just made up because when the music's this good it hypes up itself. Teased ahead of his four track "Junction" EP, "Kovacs" is a grainy, heads-down stepper with a springy sense of momentum to the drums and a gurgling bass that's up there with DLR or Skeppy in its lean-but-direct energy and funk. An understated and uncompromised way to introduce his biggest EP on the label to date; ED:IT's on a ninja mission right here.

Review: This entire EP is stunning, softly singing to the Shogun signature sound of rolling, liquid tech. Setting the tone for the release we start with 'Empire' and we just love Mr Porter's voice, it's just so effortlessly smooth, it nestles beautifully within this lulling track, gorgeous piano, echoing drips and warm sub. 'Forma' takes us to slightly darker planes, with a creepy manipulation on the vox and a low, slowing moving vortex of a b line. 'Some People' has a melancholy vibe, with classic samples and a deep sub, while 'Who's There' is all about the vocal, and it is just divine, juxtaposed light shimmers and dark twisted tones. Trust us, you need this release in your life.
