An integral part of the Shogun Audio family, GEST once again showcase their heavy, techy, and rolling drum and bass sound with their second EP on the label: https://GEST.lnk.to/TheNexusSD

This latest body of work, entitled 'The Nexus' EP, connects all the fragments of their idiosyncratic, high-octane sound, acting as a captivating four-track frenzy that draws influence from early Detroit techno and D&B royalty alike.

Previously known as Gerra & Stone, the pair have risen rapidly in recent years with a finely polished sound that is truly unique to them. GEST lay out the blueprints of what they're all about with the opening sounds of 'Nexus', with a clear emphasis on the duos underground, dancefloor-oriented sound intertwined with an abundance of techno-inspired synth work throughout.

As we delve into the EP, 'Concentrate' adds yet another master-crafted roller to their collection of groove-centric tracks, whilst 'Stayed On My Mind' provides a melodious infusion of deep subs, beguiling vocal loops, and pronounced percussive elements to the EP.

Last, but by no means least, 'Reverence' sees GEST draw heavy influence from one of their heroes in the form of the late and great Marcus Intalex. Defined by crisp, rolling drums, ambient synth work, and an underlying aura of luxuriant atmosphere, the melodic, almost soothing melody intertwined with ‘Reverence’ clearly draws from the inspiration of Marcus Intalex’s legendary sound.

"This release represents a development of our sounds and some new directions from previous singles we have released in the short time the GEST project has been active. The trademark sound is the framework but it been presented in a different light."

Haven't made much of anything lately, threw this together because why not? The original is probably one of my favourite tracks of all time. I'll update it, maybe, probably, if people like it.

Out Of Time

Monrroe - Out Of Time ft. Zara Kershaw

Drum & Bass - Mood + Soul. 
"A unique combination of calm & tense"

From mixtapes to all aged raves to buying records, since getting behind the decks in 2008, Aaron has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the genre.

With a clear appreciation for deep, heartfelt, and melodic tunes, the inevitable next step was producing. When the world paused and shows stopped, he put his whole heart into the studio, full-on, and damn is it ever evident. 

Still in the early days of his production journey, he has released with reputable labels such as Shogun, Flexout, and Dispatch to name a few. With plenty of forthcoming releases in 2025 and beyond, Aaron continues to develop his sound and carve out a place for himself in the Drum & Bass scene.

Plus, as the head of 170+ Recordings, he’s helping Vancouver, and Canada stay present on a global scale. If you’re following, check your inbox, there’s probably another new gem from Aaron Payne waiting for you.
