One of the most encouraging things about drum and bass of late is the amount of incredible womxn producers who are coming through, and Athena is undoubtedly one of them: https://ShogunAudio.lnk.to/DontLetSD

An artist who broke through last year after entering into EQ50’s female mentorship program, and one that has been working with Shogun Audio as a mentee, Athena continues to impress with her soulful sound. You only have to check out her “Miss You” single on our Point of Origin Vol. 4 to hear this on show - a track heavily supported by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, and tastemakers Drum&Bass Arena.

We’re very pleased to announce she is returning to Shogun for her second release with single “Don’t Let”, which has found a home on our Shogun Origins series. Packing the dreamy melodies and crisp drum breaks more people are coming to know her for each day, “Don’t Let” is a testament to the rising talent who is destined for big things in the scene. Don’t just take our word for it though… If you’re familiar with Goldfat Records (and especially Athena’s track “Take Flight”), then you’ll know all too well of the serene creations this artist has been cooking up over her first year in D&B.

Our Shogun Origins series is all about uncovering the best up-and-coming talents D&B has to offer, and in Athena, we’ve certainly unearthed a precious gem

Alix Perez - Inside Your Love

Next up from Sofa Sound is the forthcoming collaborations from drum & bass heavyweights DLR, Break, Randall and Ulterior Motive, a collective who’ve all helped to pioneer the genre whilst staying inherently underground. Whilst Break and Randall have laid its foundations, producers like DLR and Ulterior Motive have shaped the more contemporary scene, although both tracks signify the colossal engineering standards of each featuring artist. The established names also bring their weight to Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, which has expanded since its creation by DLR in 2017. 

DLR, Break and Randall come together for lead track ‘Song & Dance’, an old-school reminiscent roller with snipped up, mc-lead vocal samples and jazzy instrumentals. The energy between all three artists is instantly recognisable, with Randall’s old-school approach shining through each layer. On top of strung guitar notes and a hook which nods to its namesake, ‘Song & Dance’ blends a mixture of styles to present a versatile addition to Sofa Sound.

Next comes ‘Modules’, featuring a combination of sonics recorded through Ulterior Motive’s modular set up. The ruminating drums and basses brought from the collections of their collaborators deliver its funkier elements, with the bassline fluctuating between notes and twisting its way through a melodic undertow. Alongside its unusual structure, the track’s organic approach and frequent switches grab its listener unaware. Another imperative release on Sofa Sound, the imprint has shown its commitment to artists from across the spectrum, through both its digital releases and physical discography additions.

SS002 - A - Break, Randall & DLR - Song And Dance - Sofa Sound

Lifestyle is very pleased to welcome back to the label bass-mangler extraordinaire Nami! This time joining forces with a fellow Russian; Kapha, an elusive producer from the underground making his first marks on the scene, and sizable marks at that! The two tunes smack of Nami's dark and experimental style, each having a distinctive sound that's certain to get the gun fingers & grimaces out! 

A-side Praxis is a cold slice of experimental tech; a minimal introduction drops into an ultra-dark, driving bass & break, that doesn't relent. The track channels the vibe of heavy industrial techno, while retaining an irresistible neuro groove through some clever bass & drum programming. Another really unique sounding tune from Nami that will stick out a set, in the best way, and have people fumbling online for an ID the day after. 

The flip, Transmitter, is another high-energy, reese-heavy banger. The core of the track is a repeating mid-bass reese riff, laid on top of huge sub stabs and swells. As the tune progresses the spectrum thickens out even further, with even more interesting bass movement, weird atmospheric objects and textures. The track is basically a masterclass in otherworldly audio & modern bass design, which is nothing less than expected from Nami, who is cementing himself as one of the main players pushing the envelope in underground drum & bass. The inclusion of Kapha on this release is super promising too, and as a new artist has really made an impression on us with these tracks, one to keep an eye on for sure!
