Cause4Concern present Evolution. The second of three records to be released by the label in memory of Optiv; it's the follow-up to Origins, which was released earlier in September. Here, artists like Noisia, Dub Elements, Gydra and more pay tribute to Optiv across sixteen tracks of speaker-breaking drum & bass. 

Like Origins, Evolution opens with a tribute to Optiv. Universal Project and Kolectiv contribute 'Up An Optiv', which features heavy percussion and warbling bass. 

Hyperspeed rhythms define Break's 'Better Be Sure'; mind-bending sonics take the lead on Submotive's 'Rats Nest' and DLR's 'Living Under The Surface’ features bubbling synth lines. Dub Elements' 'On A Mission' rumbles with weighty bass lines; Current Value & Snow's 'Senza Orgolio' is a techy banger and IHR's 'Kiku' is a sensory experience full of soaring pad arrangements. Black Sun Empire and State Of Mind's 'Savage Planet' takes the listener on a journey; Gydra's 'Enlightenment' features technical drum work, and 'Gloom Funk' by Task Horizon is a motion blur of distorted bass.  

Throbbing low-end is at the heart of Jade & MNDSCP's 'Eternal'; State Of Mind's 'Cenotaph' is front-loaded with amorphous bass, while dub influences make Quadrant & Iris's 'Sour Rip' a slow-burning banger. Mefjus & Noisia's 'Foundations' is an exhilarating ride, and Malux delivers a high-octane arrangement of bass and rhythm for 'Memories'

Audio closes out the album with 'Blimp'. A heavyweight number populated by crashing rhythms and cranking bass, it's designed for one thing: to tear up the dance. 

Evolution will arrive to Beatport and Spotify on 16th August, landing on all digital platforms two weeks later on 30th August.
