Rift makes a powerful return on Dispatch Limited with the Black & Gold EP, a five-track collection that marks a fresh chapter in his sound. After stepping back from production to reset his creative direction, Rift channels a rawer approach, drawing on the influence of early 2000s drum & bass while weaving in the tense, atmospheric qualities of cinematic scores. The result is an EP that feels both stripped-back and expansive, balancing heavy pressure with eerie, suspenseful sound design.

The project is also shaped by visual art. The title track, “Black & Gold,” was the first piece written for the EP, sparked by inspiration from Bill Elis’ artwork. The visual tone of his work set the foundation not only for the track itself but also for the identity of the full release.

Across the EP, Rift explores themes of unease and intensity. From the brooding atmospheres of “Teardrops” and “Paralysed” to the rolling momentum of “Tremors” and “Sinners,” the journey culminates in the title track’s stark and cinematic presence. Each cut feels deliberately crafted, reflecting both a reverence for drum & bass history and a forward-focused creative vision.

The Black & Gold EP has already gained strong support across the scene, with Philth playing a central role in championing the tracks both in sets and during the production process. Additional support has come from Enta and Cause4Concern, underlining the impact of Rift’s return.

Sustance returns to Shogun Audio alongside Sylla with the underground heater ‘Whose It’.

A proper stepper built for the shadows of the dance, this one drips with attitude from the jump. Sylla’s ice-cold flows cut through the mix with precision, while Sustance’s razor-edged production twists and mutates beneath. Evil, weighty, and primed for maximum damage.

Shogun Audio proudly presents the second single from Monrroe and Duskee’s forthcoming collaborative EP. Named after the deepest point on Earth, ‘Mariana’ captures the duo’s descent into darker, rolling waters - a sound as heavy as it is hypnotic.

Just like its namesake, ‘Mariana’ pulls you under. It's deep, immersive, and impossible to shake once you’re in. Built around Monrroe’s meticulous, low-end-driven production and Duskee’s ice-cold delivery, the pair once again prove why they stand among drum & bass’ most compelling partnerships.
