Two of the most respected names in the game return to Shogun Audio with the 'Play Fool EP', a heavyweight collaboration that blends deep-rooted musicality with uncompromising club energy.

Built on a foundation of trust and chemistry, Zero T & Fox deliver four precision-crafted tracks that span reggae-influenced grooves, razor-sharp percussion and weighty, sub-driven drum and bass. Previously released singles 'Play Fool' and 'Fantastic' are accompanied by the electrifying 'Move Kinda Different' and stripped-back, yet hard-hitting sounds of 'Final Fight', with Fox’s unmistakable delivery and Zero T’s signature rolling production at the heart of all four tracks. 

Shaped by years of experience across the UK bass music landscape, the 'Play Fool' EP is a record built on heritage, but fully tuned for now.

After more than a year in the works, we are pleased to announce our debut VA available through digital streaming and on vinyl.

Mélange is a new community and online platform for young emerging artists based between Europe and Australasia. The first of the label’s VA compilation album spans corners of electronic and world music and weaves between classical/ambient sounds and UKG, Jungle & Disco. It’s a commitment to multi-genre discographies and the need for more established career paths for young, gifted artists.

With early support on the vinyl from Four Tet and Haai, our goal is to help share and further establish European and Oceanic sounds with music lovers everywhere.
