Shogun Presents: 2021

Shogun Audio Presents: Best Of Drum & Bass (2021)

Nostalgia is a drug - and a fucking potent one at that.  Why are all of my favorite songs and tracks 20-30 years old?  Why do the new sounds not connect with me?

Because I have nostalgia for a life and youth that isn't mine anymore.  Maybe you do too.

Tracks used to be longer, have more work put into the intros and build ups...  The tools were limiting but that was their strength.  Producers didn't have a computer with millions of sounds and DAWS and plugins- they had to make do or innovate.

Please enjoy, share if you're compelled, comment, wax poetic, and thank you for listening.

Drum & Bass Sessions S04E06 - Nostalgia

Need for Mirrors makes trough tracks - his words.  Regardless of what he calls them, they bang in their own, special way.  Not too much energy, but not chill at all.  He releases music at a prolific rate- this is but a drop in the bucket.  He is wickedly consistent and I've yet to hear anything but quality from him.  Granted, my mixing probably doesn't do his music justice, but I tried.  🙃

Check him out @needformirrors as he's also a label owner.

While this is a mix that focuses on Mirrors, it's bookended with some tracks from Codename John/Grooverider.  😯

Big ups for listening.  Please comment, share, and enjoy!

Drum & Bass Sessions S04E08 - Manic/Depressive

I watched a lot of old drum & bass documentaries this weekend: Talkin' Headz, Valve Sound System, & some BBC specials.  Man, the issues they had with the scene at the start of the millennium are still present- Especially hearing Dillinja talk about people making "shit-cunt" records that sound like shrapnel...  So I chose some hard hitting tunes that fall into lots of categories, but I went hard as my mood dictates my mixing.  There are new cuts and old ones- but they are quality.
Big up to @slwdwndnb for his excellent Revenant EP on Eatbrain.  Wicked tracks all of them.
A lot of these tracks may not be new to you, but a lot are new to me.  There is no better feeling then hearing a killer track for the first time- it's an addiction.
BIG BIG UPS to all those who take the time to listen, comment, and repost.  It means a lot to me and your time is not taken for granted.

Drum & Bass Sessions S04E10 - Suicide Doors

I know.  It's Tuesday.

Just a little mix with some heavyweight tracks...

There are several of Commix's unreleased tracks in here.  @sephiadnb dropped a heavy slice of dystopian drum futurism- you can snag it on his page for free.  The new @ncseventeen NC-17 LP dropped- and it's a stunner, so I put a couple of those tunes in as well.  And I topped the mix off with some vintage Break, Calibre, and not too-new Dunk cuts.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing,

Cheers.

D&BS - Monday Dribbles

I love drum&bass...  But my first and forever love is Chicago house.  I love it all.  Well, not all- no country or trance.  Apologies.
Let me hear the weird shit...
I couldn't do this without all of the amazing people making music for me to play for fun...  Your talents are appreciated.  I'm not a pro...  I just play music for fun so that I have something to listen to.  Maybe you like a mix.  Maybe not.  Keep listening and the odds are that one will hit with you.  I know there is SO MUCH CONTENT on here and other sites, so the fact that you stopped here, read this, or listened to part of a mix means a lot.  I don't want to play out.  I just want to rock your headphones to get you through a rough day, a workout, a commute- whatever it is you need.
Thank you to the listeners, the commenters, and the sharers...  Much love.
Cheers.
