Hot off the back of the success of their latest single 'Waterfall', one of dance music's most in-demand duos returns to Shogun Audio with an incredible slice of euphoric drum and bass - some of the most magical work they've produced to date. Titled 'The One I Need', Pola & Bryson join forces with none other than Kelli-Leigh, whose 2 UK Number 1s, 2 Billboard Dance chart number 1s, and 1 Grammy nominated record have secured her spot as one of the most recognisable voices in the UK today.

A real showcase of Pola & Bryson's musicality and sonic ingenuity, 'The One I Need' sees the duo team up with Kelli-Leigh again after the pair collaborated alongside Sub Focus on their 2023 hit 'Waiting'. With Kelli-Leigh's voice previously heard on ‘I Got U’ for Duke Dumont & Jax Jones, ‘I Wanna Feel’ for Second City & 2017 summer smash ‘More Than Friends’ with James Hype, this latest collaboration between the two is set to solidify itself as one of the biggest drum and bass tracks of 2024.

A fully loaded remix of one of 2023's heaviest drum and bass cuts, Particle steps up and delivers some of his finest work to date on remix duties for Sustance & Flowdan's 'Ten Ton'. 

A certified sound-system destroyer, the original release of 'Ten Ton' saw Shogun's very own production wizard Sustance and the legendary, grammy-award winning lyricist Flowdan cause carnage on dancefloors and rack up over 2.5M streams across DSPs and the official music video. Particle's remix sees the producer build on the momentum of the release of his debut album 'Pyro' earlier this year, adding an even darker twist to 'Ten Ton' with eerie pads and sinister synths. 

Particle's remix of 'Ten Ton' is also part of the 20 Years Of Shogun Audio LP. This 20-track deep album features 10 exclusive remixes of our catalogue’s most legendary releases alongside 10 pieces of groundbreaking new music from a selection of drum and bass’ most exciting talents.

WARNING: Emily Makis & Lens are about to take you to the Danger Zone...
A colossal collaboration between two of the most in-demand names in drum and bass right now, Elevate Records is extremely excited to present Emily Makis & Lens' 'Danger Zone'. From start to finish, this raw, high-octane and cinematic record infuses dancefloor D&B flavours with jungle influences to create an exhilarating, heart-pounding track that promises to become one of the biggest link-ups in drum and bass this year.

'Danger Zone' follows on from an incredible 2024 for both artists. Emily Makis' massive hits 'My Type' and 'Freak Like Me', collaboration with Wilkinson on 'Break It Down', and platinum co-write on Becky Hill and Chase & Status' 'Disconnect' cemented her spot as one of the most recognisable voices in the UK underground scene.

For Lens, who also continued to amplify the immense hype around her name throughout the year, a relentless DJ schedule that saw her shell down headlines sets across the globe and back alongside releases with Pola & Bryson, goddard., Unglued, Diagnostix and a remix for Charlotte Plank have firmly established her position as one of the scene's hottest talents.

The latest instalment in Sustance's growing collection of EPs, Shogun Audio is excited to present the producer's latest body of work. Featuring first-time collaborations and superb solo cuts, the Bristol-based 174BPM specialist delivers some of his best and most innovative music to date on the 'Cycles' EP. 

Carrying on his ever-impressive streak of writing productions perfect for an array of dance music's most exciting vocal talents, 'Out The Storm' with Salo and 'Cycles', featuring IYAMAH's distinct toplines, see Sustance take his crisp, rolling, and sub-heavy sounds to new heights. On the heavier side of the project, 'That's Right', a collaboration with future star Para, and 'DMF', Sustance goes all in on the minimal, murky, hard-hitting side of the genre. 

From his 'Error Mod' EP on Shogun's sister label SGN:LTD back in 2019 to this latest 'Cycles' EP six years later, Sustance has firmly established himself as one of drum and bass' slickest producers and one who sounds right at home on Shogun Audio.

Critical Music welcomes back Dutch producer Waeys for his first release of 2025, following a busy year of collaborations, remixes and solo tracks.

‘If Not Me’ drones, steps and snarls its way rapidly into life with a detuned bassline stretching across a spacious two-step beat, decorated in just the right places by bars from MC Sylla.

As the name suggests, ’Backhanded Wobbler’ is… wobbly. But in a very good way, with a squelching, acidic jump-up bassline going wild across skipping drums for a track that's as sonically interesting as it is energetic.

Boundary-breaking duo Pola & Bryson are no strangers to innovation and experimentation within electronic music, but the next single from their forthcoming 'Overgrown' LP may just be their most electrifying work to date. An addictive fusion of drum and bass with a modern punky attitude, Pola & Bryson team up with lyrical and vocal force IYAMAH on 'Want It'. 

The fourth single from their latest long-play project, which has already seen massive tracks 'Waterfall', 'The One I Need w/ Kelli-Leigh', and 'Stampede w/ Jelani Blackman' heavily supported by DSPs and UK and Global Radio, is a massive statement of intent from the duo. Combining IYAMAH's self-empowering lyrics that narrate the process moving on post-breakup with Pola & Bryson's high-octane, gritty, and rebellious-feeling production, the engrossing sounds of 'Want It' look set to become a pivotal moment in their journeys as musicians. 

Remarkably still going from strength to strength with no signs of slowing down, keep an eye out for the official release date of their forthcoming 'Overgrown' LP coming very soon.
