5 Deadly Venoms: Centipede

[SC014] VARIOUS ARTISTS - 5 DEADLY VENOMS: CENTIPEDE

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-rescue
Title: The Rescue
Artist: Lazarus (@lazarus_nbg)
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC015
Date: 17/09/2021
Distributed by @triplevisionnl

Tracklisting:
A1: Lazarus - Harbinger
A2: Lazarus - Light The Torch
B1: Lazarus - Sinus Node
B2: Lazarus - Cyto

Infotext:
Lazarus is back on Shaw Cuts with ”The Rescue“, a swashbuckling tale of sheer heroism, revolutionary sentiment and resistance in the face of oppression. 
Following the fall of the Sung Dynasty, minister Wen, who pens a patriotic song to inspire the nation, is imprisoned by the conquering Mongols. Sung patriots plot to free the lord from the Celestial Prison by having themselves arrested and a spy release them once inside. But the prison general sets a deadly trap. „Harbinger“, its heavy drums, mystic pads and untamed spirit perfectly describes the menacing scene inside the prison. 
With the help of free-spirited hero Le Heru, patriot Bai Yaerh escapes the carnage. With more fighters in tow, he returns to the prison with a new plan to tunnel underground. Yet this too is a cunning trap that forces Le Heru to cover up the heroes’ escape. The intense buildup of „Light The Torch“ with its echoing chords and noisy elements, invigorates and drives the pack forward. 
After convincing a Mongol-raised guard captain to join them, the patriots make a last attempt to save lord Wen by posing as Mongols and slipping into the jail. They finally reach Wen who has starved himself to death. The shifting drums and emotional synths of „Sinus Node“ sets the serene tone needed to compensate for the loss, signaling a promising new dawn. 
The legion finds hope while battling out of the prison to preserve the moving song the minister composed before his demise. „Cyto“ and its melancholic mood filled with revolving breaks, powerful arpeggios and shimmering drums, leads to a shocking and disturbing end that is hard to handle…

Infotext:
Walking through a forest and paying attention to our surroundings revitalizes the senses enough to ease the drive to do something and is calming enough to allow us a moment of peace and tension release. Mindfulness and meditation come naturally when you allow your senses to focus on the slight and subtle changes around you. Take a deep breath of fragrant air, soak in the feeling of the textured ground and enjoy the sights of the slowly shaking treetops in the sky. Touch the moss-green, soft ground carpeting the shaded stones, sense the abrasive bark on the trees and smell the versatile odors of pure nature. Let the stillness around you influence your state of mind and make you forget the constant motion of society. Take a timeout, immerse yourself in the forest, use all of your five senses to experience everything to the fullest and surround yourself with life existing in this environment - you will realize that you are indeed a part of nature. Shinrin Yoku helps to rejuvenate the exhausted body and balances the body and mind. This is a sensory and intimate experience.

Shinrin Yoku

[SCLP01] FARRON - SHINRIN YOKU

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/ode-to-gallantry
Title: Ode To Gallantry
Artist: Lindenberg Support
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC016
Date: 23/09/2022
Distributed by @triplevisionnl

Tracklisting:
A1: Lindenberg Support - C20-25
A2: Lindenberg Support - SKS (101)
B1: Lindenberg Support - Gate
B2: Lindenberg Support - Kinda Weak
B3: Lindenberg Support - Pol-1 (For Stefan)

Infotext:
Lindenberg Support is the man behind „Ode To Gallantry“, a complex and emotional tale of mistaken identity, trust and honor. 
The story begins with the beggar Shi Po Tian, aka the Bastard, stealing a bun which contains the Black Iron Token, created by skilled pugilist Xie Yanke, which grants the holder one wish. „C20/25“ and its pounding and pacy rhythmics, carrying pads and heavy hitting vibe, perfectly set the journey’s energetic and warm tone. 
Xie appears yearly, demanding that the clans repay in blood for any heinous act they committed throughout the year. The only way that a rude clan can avoid the cull is for the clan's leader to sacrifice himself for them. With „SKS (101)“ and its soothing and floating pads carrying the gentle lo-fi drums, the story heats up and evolves to a deeper intricacy. 
Fearing that Bastard might make him promise to stop his annual harvest of death, Xie spirits him away and trains him in martial arts so powerful that he is certain it will kill him, but instead, it makes him strong and resilient. The uplifting pads in „Gate“, supported by a reckless broken beat and pinging vocals, create a celestial vibe that pushes Bastard to his limits. 
He is rescued by the Chang Lo Clan that mistakes him for their villainous leader Shi Zhongyu and then treats him as their boss. With each case of mistaken identity, he becomes drawn into a number of heated conflicts between several rival schools and gangs - a dilemma that he just isn't prepared to deal with. The dreamy ambiance of „Kinda Weak“ and its well-wrought drum pattern slowly shroud the memories of his old life.
The final point is set with „Pol-1 (For Stefan)" - an emotive and profound ambient piece to close the story. He's sure to learn some valuable lessons about brotherhood and honor, but at what price?

[SC016] LINDENBERG SUPPORT - ODE TO GALLANTRY

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-sentimental-swordsman
Title: The Sentimental Swordsman
Artist: Quiem
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC017
Date: 20/01/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Strayed And Aimless
A2: You Looked So Pretty On My Balcony
A3: Your Singular Courage
B1: My Tiny Engine
B2: On My Mother’s Birthday
B3: Trauma And Its Clutches

Infotext:
With „The Sentimental Swordsman“ Farron slips into the role of his ambient moniker Quiem, telling the emotive story of a man who has lost everyone dear to him and seeking to find inward peace, appreciation, a feeling of security and his capacity for love. 
At the beginning of this narration, The Sentimental Swordsman wanders around with no orientation, feels empty and shows his vulnerable side in „Strayed And Aimless“. A solitary life with a focus on himself and his modest requirements. 
But just one mysterious encounter can change it all. „You Looked So Pretty On My Balcony“ describes the presentiment of lightness and a gentle breeze received through the presence of the new acquaintance.
The Sentimental Swordsman still feels insecure on his journey, but he is not alone anymore and he can somehow feel a warm and buoyant glow in his breast. „Your Singular Courage“ underlines the good intentions, harmony and trust slowly building up between them. 
From now on, fights are taken side by side, individual crises are resolved with the mutual support of each other and risks are taken together. A new team has been formed that seems to be unbeatable. This intimate relationship is presented by the vibe of „My Tiny Engine“. 
They are lightheartedly taking steps into an auspicious future together and enjoying each others company. But the enemy doesn’t sleep. It slowly grows. Evil bubbles up, it comes silently and attacks sneakily. „On My Mother’s Birthday“ describes the wounds resulting from a craven ambush that leaves nothing but pain and pure emptiness. 
Snatched from this new life. Unwonted silence. Feelings of guilt. Fears of loss. A „Trauma And Its Clutches“.

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/house-of-traps
Title: House Of Traps
Artist: Farron
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC019
Date: 12/05/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Penny At The Chain					
A2: Wilshire 1015	
B1: Hiatus Phase			
B2: All In CST
B3: Conback

Infotext:
Farron enters faster territories on this record, telling the story of the hunt after the mysterious jade antique that is hidden in the infamous „House Of Traps“. 
After entering the house, one already feels the oppressive atmosphere. The ubiquitous feeling of not being welcome here is obvious when the golden walls invert and you come to face countless swordsmen ready to attack. The vigorous atmosphere of „Penny At The Chain“ boosts up your confidence for what is about to come. 
But what if the intruder is skilled in kung-fu? The mob retreats automatically and bars of iron come down to confine you. „Wilshire 1015“ and its driving bassline, warm pads and whirling breaks will calm you down a bit. But what’s next? 
In the twinkling of an eye, a field of razor-sharp nails come through the floor that you are standing on, and the escape route up the stairway becomes perilous as the stairs suddenly form into an array of sharp blades. „Hiatus Phase“ keeps you focused and light-footed, so you can manage the jump up to the next floor. 
However the next stirring event quickly follows. The moment you feel safe, a giant golden net unexpectedly launches from every direction and traps you in the middle of the room, hung over the floor. As if this wasn’t enough, the mob is rushing back again - armed with bows and arrows. But the varied atmosphere of „All In CST“, its floating pads and filtered breaks energize you, and so you are able to make a getaway from the most lethal attack. 
After dodging the giant blades suddenly swinging in from each side, you are finally there. The golden cage and its arcane content. The warmth of „Conback“ and its sparkling pads slowly fill the room as you open up the cage. Another trap, or a bright future? Find out…

House Of Traps

[SC019] FARRON - HOUSE OF TRAPS

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-flying-guillotine-2
Title: The Flying Guillotine 2
Artist: Serenace
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC020
Releasedate: 29/09/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Current
A2: Aiming From A Distance
B1: Test 21
B2: Current (Farron Remix)


Infotext:
„The Flying Guillotine 2“ is the bloody sequel to Serenace’s first appearance on Shaw Cuts in 2019, continuing the head-lopping violence with a group of freedom fighters lead by the heroic Ma Teng battling against the evil despot Emperor Yung and his reign of terror. 
Teng has developed a protective device, similar to a spiky metal umbrella, that allows him to defend against the deadly flying guillotine attacks of the violent regime. „Current“, its bombastic drum patterns, razor-sharp synth waves and vicious vibe strengthens the rebels to resist the brutal assaults. 
But the Emperor immediately reacts, creating a double flying guillotine to counter Ma Teng’s iron umbrella and the rebel union is left defenseless again. „Aiming From A Distance“, a vivid breakbeat cut combining rolling percussion, arpeggiated synth chords and sirens from hell, raises the rebels' hopes to give them another answer. 
Secret insurgent Na Lan infiltrates the Emperor’s inner circle by gaining his trust with a group of female warriors whom he allows to train with the flying guillotine palace guards. However, Na Lan only wants to steal the plans of the improved weapon and deliver it to the rebel squad, in order to devise another counteracting force. With the crisp bassline and the energy-filled breaks of „Test 21“, the rebels can gain an insight into the elaborated guillotine and find a possible way to defeat it.
Farron’s profound techno version of „Current“ brings in the necessary tension for the final showdown. The improved double flying guillotine VS a new secret defensive system. Will the rebels be able to team up and defeat the tyrant once and for all? No matter what happens, the saga continues.

Date: 17/05/2024

Tracklisting:
A1: Cat’s Claw			
A2: Radiate	
B1: Medusa			
B2: Do I Stay
B3: Let The Devil In

Infotext:
„The Flying Dagger“ is Cressida’s first release on Shaw Cuts, which deals with themes of greed, revenge, honor, chivalry and the internal struggle between good and evil that exists within all of us. 
Yu Ying happens upon the scene of an atrocity and double murder. She outrageously kills the perpetrator, who is the son of the infamous Green Dragon Clan boss Jiao Lei. The broken rhythm and heavy hitting drums of „Cat’s Claw“ shine a light on the shocking act of violence.
Upon learning the surprising news, Jiao Lei proclaims war on her and attacks Yu Ying’s father Yu Yuan who manages to escape with his children although he gets severely injured. The pounding drums of „Radiate“ and its thrilling ambiance boosts up the family’s energy and keeps everybody safe.
The pursuit is on and Jian Lei is hell-bent on killing them all, preferentially with his throwing knifes. However, he is thwarted in his plans by the emergence of the mysterious stranger Yang Qing whose ability to throw projectiles rivals that of Jiao Lei. 
„Medusa“ and its percussive lunacy paired with unexpected groove twists guide our hero through times of many tough challenges and evil encounters.
Chief Jiao tries to tempt Yang Qing with money to join his Green Dragon Clan, but our hero can’t be bought. With the help of the furious „Do I Stay“ and its steamroll drum pattern, pushing bassline and raw atmosphere, he comes to the rescue of several victims of the Green Dragon Clan instead.
Yang Qing uses his martial proficiency to fight on the side of society, but is he strong enough for the rousing finale? The bass-heavy vibe of „Let the Devil In“ and its swirling vocal cuts blended with funky breaks and warm pads, send out one more energy before everything is heated up to the max. Step further!

Infotext:
Sometimes, we have the tendency to run away from distress because we do not want to deal with the feeling of pain, but the first step in spiritual healing is overcoming the fears and recognizing the pain. The sooner you address the cause of your difficulty, the sooner you’ll get freedom from the pain. Be aware of your situation.
Once you have faced the source of anxiety, you need to acknowledge the pain. Feel your emotions and question what their sources are. Be honest about your feelings. In this stage, it is normal to feel like situations are beyond your control, which can transfer the feeling of hopelessness. However, by allowing yourself to feel rage, it becomes easier for your wounds to heal. Honor your feelings.
Honoring your pain will teach you self-forgiveness. You should be able to feel the kindness within you and experience all the love you have for yourself. You will feel a conflict between the instinct to heal on your own, and the desire to accept the situation and seek support to get healed. You prove that you have an unwavering determination to get healed by choosing the latter. When you want spiritual healing, you have to place your faith in the universe, too. 
Surrendering the pain means releasing the pain and seeking support from the universe. It will help you ease your sufferings.
The negative ego vanishes from within you and makes your heart feel lighter once you release your pain. This is a sign of spiritual wellness. You will start to feel a deep openness towards things and think with a peaceful mind. You will become whole again and you will develop the ability to deal with the disruptions of your life with tolerance. The inner peace will be restored. Feal.

Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC005
Date: 05/2017

Tracklisting:
A1: C.I.T.G
A2: Semi-Final Thoughts
B1: Unlimited Mind
B2: Derby

Farron continues the course of Shaw Cuts with his ‘Legend Of The Bat‘ EP, following in the footsteps of Chu Liu Hsiang: the journey to Bat Island. 
The voyage begins with ‘C.I.T.G’, its relentless break-beat fundament combined with coarse synth lunacy to wipe out the first dark shapes - moonlit slaughter.
Joining forces with rivals, Chu Liu Hsiang is no longer alone as he advances on Bat Island. ‘Semi-Final Thoughts’ accompanies the newly-formed crew to the mysterious ground - a melody of warm synth and light churned by industrious oldschool drums. But who to trust?
The fleeting harmony ends when several combatants unveil their guise and true motives. Loyalties revealed, massacre ensues. ‘Unlimited Mind‘ pulsates, its bassline and sharp percussions decapitating those who dare to deceive.
’Derby’ epitomizes the tension of the final showdown with low rolling tones, echoing chords and heavy percussion weaving the air like the rival in pursuit. With teamed forces and clever combat the traitor is annihilated from head to toe - bloodbath and game over...

Infotext:
The next chapter in Shaw Cuts comes from Russian duo Poima, who celebrate their debut record 'Twin Blades of Doom' - a fierce revenge mission and hunt after the infamous Ghost gang.
The pursuit opens with 'Triglau', its linear machine groove levelling a fraction of the Ghost Gang. Heads roll on a crimson floor.
Teaming up with mysterious masked warrior Inland, 'Triglau' morphs into a hypnotic trip. Pushing drum rhythms and swirling pads combine with nasty noise elements, propelling the hunt.
The remaining enemy members are already hatching their next evil move. On the way to Lu He Village where the Ghost Gang plans its next assault, analogue break-beat punches and swinging percussions weave a menacing tapestry of sound, crushing the 'Bones' of rogue creatures in its path.
Serbian slayer Regen arrives in force for the final showdown at Qi Dou Town where the Ghost Gang plans a huge heist. Armed with atmospheric pads and a soaring drum crescendo, his interpretation of 'Bones' ends the Ghost Gang tyranny in one fatal sweep. And the saga goes on…

Infotext:
Farron gets back on Shaw Cuts with his fourth record, ‘Invincible Shaolin’ – a tale of double-dealing, rivalry, royalty and bad blood. Manchu General Pu’s evil quest to eradicate the shaolin tradition unfolds, cunningly pitting north and south shaolins against each other. ‘Spring Break Ya Neck’ opens the clash with its rhythmic shifts and whirling synth pads. The northern masters prevail. 
After Pu’s henchmen secretly kill the southern shaolin, the General blames the masters from the North, unleashing chaos. ‘Cosmicaph’ restores order, its pounding drums and floating melodies giving new strength to the southern shaolin. Revenge must be taken. 
To prepare for conquer, the southern master sends three of his disciples to three masters to learn their secret weapons. ‘Sir Hatch’ sets the pace with rolling punches, dirty synths and sharp percussion as the three disciples transform into lethal fighting machines. 
Just before the final encounter between the shaolin, Leibniz lands on the scene with his fresh interpretation of ‘Spring Break Ya Neck’, revealing to both schools that they have been deceived. Joining forces, north and south battle the General and his men, led by Leibniz’s funky drum patterns and turbulent synth action. 
And the shaolin spirit lives on…

Artist: Lazarus
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC008
Date: 17/09/2018

Tracklisting:
A1: Rhea
A2: Reverof Nema
B1: Casio Flex
B2: Overcome

Infotext:
Shaw Cuts is happy to welcome a new face to the label squad: Lazarus, a young producer from Nuremberg, yields the perfect soundtrack for ‚The Magic Blade‘ with his debut record. 
The story begins with another clash between arch-rivals Fu Hung Hsueh and Yen-Nan Fei, two of the country’s most skilled swordsmen, both on a quest to number one. ‚Rhea’ sets the perfect tempo for the duel with its heavyweight drums, revolving percussion and energetic pads. 
Clanking swords are interrupted by the arrival of shady company - followers of the mysterious underworld swayer sent by Master Yu who wants Yen-Nan Fei’s head. Fu Hung Hsueh and Yen-Nan Fei join forces, slaying the villains in seconds. ‚Reverof Nema‘ rolls in, its commanding rhythm and moody chords giving the swordsmen new force and vitality. 
Yu wants to eliminate the swordsmen so that they never gain possession of the Peacock-Dart, an indestructible weapon with thanatophoric effects and the object of Yu’s desires. But Fu Hung Hsueh and Yen-Nan Fei have already picked up the scent. Bloody battles follow against more of Yu’s entourage. The race against time is led by the energetic synth delirium and savage drums of ‚Casio Flex‘, leading Hsueh and Fei safely to the sublime weapon. 
The duo journey on, defending the Peacock-Dart until they reach Yu’s temple. The final showdown. ‚Overcome’ and its warped groove, warm synths and thundering drums bring Master Yu to his knees and the netherworld. But who was Master Yu? Was it you? The myth lives on…

Tracklisting:
A1: Sheltered In Absence
A2: Vitrine
B1: Sheltered In Absence/Vitrine (Kreggo „2in1“ Remix)
B2: Spun Coral

Infotext:
Serenace, a mysterious duo based in Chicago and Berlin joins the Shaw Cuts squad with “The Flying Guillotine“ – a weapon shaped like a hat with a blade rim and chain attached. 
The weapon serves to brutally quash any defiance against the ironfisted Emperor Yung and his regime. The enforcers are twelve specially trained fighters, The Flying Guillotine squadron. “Sheltered In Absence“, its pushing drums and energetic synth elements, chimes to the cruel deeds of the squadron. 
The guard Ma Teng flees when he witnesses the brutality unleashed by the men and the lethal weapon. The raging emperor commands his fighters to capture him, but Ma has disappeared into thin air. „Vitrine“, a diverse groove combining swinging percussions and warm melodies circles over head, helping Ma to stay undercover. 
The slaughter continues as the squadron relentlessly search for Ma. Ma turns back and confronts the army. Equipped with his own deadly weapon, he joins forces with Kreggo and his „2in1“ remix version, wiping out the squadron one by one. 
„Spun Coral“ sweeps in, drowning out the sound of guillotines gliding through the air until the last member falls. Silence reigns over the battlefield. But the myth of the fatal weapon remains.

[SC009] SERENACE - THE FLYING GUILLOTINE (W/ KREGGO REMIX)

Title: Executioners From Shaolin
Artist: Pollaar
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC010
Date: 06 / 2019

Tracklisting:
A1: Haslam
A2: Bonucci Unit
B1: P-9
B2: Compound

Infotext:
For the 10th Shaw Cuts release, Lazarus and Farron join forces on their new collaboration project Pollaar, defying Pai Mei and his alliance with the ruling Manchurian Court who aim to quash the revolutionary rebels. Crane and tiger techniques vs. the seemingly invincible versatile villain and his squad. 
The story begins when Pai Mei and his entourage raid the shaolin temple where the rebels have found refuge. Only a few rebels and students escape the attack, among them, Hung Hsi-Kuan. „Haslam“ and its blasting drum patterns paired with bright sounding synth fragments help Hung Hsi-Kuan and his copartners to safety. 
They finally find a safe haven with a traveling opera group. Along the way, Hung encounters the fair Ying Chun, herself a master of the crane technique. They fall in love and have a son, Wen-Ting. Hung could not forget though, and dedicates himself to mastering the art of the tiger style for the next ten years, to finally compete against Pai Mei. The superiority of Pai Mei in the following clash is accentuated by the vigorous drum punches and spacial undertone of „Bonucci Unit“. But Pai Mei spares the wounded Hung’s life, letting him go. 
While Ying Chun teaches her son the crane style, Hung devotes himself to relentless tiger style training for seven more years, to challenge Pai Mei once again.. „P-9“ and its forceful breakbeat punches, energizing pads and resonant percussions, sets the tone of the duel resulting in Pai Mei’s victory and Hung’s death. 
Wen-Ting vows vengeance and continues to tirelessly perfecting his crane style while still dedicated to learning the tiger style. Both combined is the only way to defeat Pai Mei. One year later, Wen-Ting is ready and embarks on the journey to Pai Mei's temple. The menacing and gritty atmosphere of „Compound“ and its spellbinding groove filled with abstract machine sounds pushes Wen-Ting to his limit. The white-bearded master has been vanquished, but is he gone forever? Judge for yourself…

[SC010] POLLAAR - EXECUTIONERS FROM SHAOLIN

Title: Heroes Of The East
Artist: Placid One
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC011
Date: 11 / 2019

Tracklisting:
A1: Morse
A2: Foothills
B1: Melopée
B2: Foothills (Lazarus Remix)

Infotext:
“Heroes Of The East“, a story about love, pride and rivalry is re-written by Belgian producer Placid One who’s style perfectly fits to the Shaw Cuts trademark sound. 
The story begins with an arranged marriage between Chinese Kung Fu student Ho Tao and Japanese Yumiko Koda who is highly-trained in Karate. They live together happily until one day, they decide to practice together. „Morse“, its blazing pads, energetic percussion and powerful rhythm weaves and chimes in sync with their intense and raw training duel.
Relentless arguing about which martial style and philosophy is better leads Koda to become offended, so she returns to Japan. “Foothills“ is a bright, sonic forcefield and its pulsating drums set the tone for a voyage of mixed emotions and self-doubt. 
Marital and cultural misunderstandings lead Koda’s former school in Japan to send seven of their strongest students to fight Ho Tao and prove which country has superior fighting styles. Spurred on by radiant pads, chasing percussions and the heavy kickdrum of „Melopée“, Ho Tao wins all battles, two by trickery. He even begins to admire and learn about Japanese culture and martial prowess. 
But there is one more duel. Takeno, Koda’s master, challenges Ho Tao to a clash of styles. Darts, needles and shurikens catapult through the air, swords and spears collide, and crab style takes on fujian white crane. Armed with sharp chords, colossal drum jabs and menacing soundscapes, Lazarus supports the titan duel with his remix version of „Foothills“. No victor, no bloodshed, just respect and peace among all.

[SC011] PLACID ONE - HEROES OF THE EAST (W/ LAZARUS REMIX)

Order: https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/five-element-ninjas
Title: Five Element Ninjas
Artist: Farron
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC012
Date: 10th of April 2020

Tracklisting:
A1: Liquid Shorts
A2: Contaship
B1: Brooklyn Banks
B2: It’s Only 4 Life

Infotext:
Farron continues the Shaw Cuts odyssey with his „Five Element Ninjas“ EP, echoing the story of the relentless fight against the elite ninjas with their special skills in different elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. 
The tale begins with a duel between two rival masters to determine which of their martial arts schools reign supreme. Master Zeng’s students are superior by far and win every battle, but Master Hong has an ace up his sleeve. He announces a challenge with the mysterious Five Element ninjas. „Liquid Shorts“ and its gigantic drums and menacing spirit spurs on the strongest students facing the challenge. Weapons collide, blows rain down, limbs get chopped. The students are not aware of the strength of the ninjutsu technique. None survive the battle. 
Hong’s plan to completely destroy Zeng’s school moves to the next phase. He sends female spy Senji to Zeng’s temple. She secretly makes a map and smuggles it back to her master. In the dead of night the silent ninja offense on the temple takes place, accompanied by the rushing rhythmics and emotive synths of „Contaship“. But the assault came too unexpectedly and only one student, Hao, escapes the violence. 
He returns to his old ninja master to complete the training he began years ago. He joins three other students who want to aid him in his quest for revenge. „Brooklyn Banks“ and its eclectic groove, rough chords and dynamic percussions help the students to quickly learn the secret ninjutsu techniques. 
Now well-trained and aware of the ninjas’ trickery, Hao and his fellow students set off to take revenge. „It’s Only 4 Life“ sets the sentimental tone for vendetta. The gold and wood ninjas are taken out with ease by the dizzying drumming, the water ninjas cut down to size by staggering hi-hats combined with erratic percussive elements and swooning pads, finally claiming victory over the fire and earth ninjas. Only the leader of the ninjas remains. Escalation! Stay tuned to know the fate of the last man standing...

Infotext:
To challenge the leader of the five element ninjas, Shaw Cuts lines up a heavy squad on the next record, armed with versatile remixes of Farron’s „Five Element Ninjas“ EP: Pugilist, Substance, Jonas Friedlich and Realitycheck. 
First off the mark, Pugilist launches into battle dealing forceful blows with his version of „Liquid Shorts“. Whirlwind breaks, sharp drum patterns and cavernous chords, lacerate the ninja leader. The heat is on! 
Substance rolls in to support, shredding the field with his remix of „Contaship“. With blood-spattered pads, a gargantuan rolling groove and harmonic synth elements, he brings the villain to his knees. 
Jonas Friedlich blazes in with his remake of „Brooklyn Banks“, catching the leader off-guard with dirty Hip-Hop rhythmics, swirling vocals and twist of the original’s lead synth. The leader lurches forward... 
Realitycheck furiously steps into the clash. His remix version of „It’s Only 4 Life“ circles the field, its propelling rhythm and floating percussions closing in on the enemy. 
The target surrounded, attacking from four sides with full force and allegiance, they execute the ninja leader in one sweep. 
The battle leaves them with deep scars, but suffering, like fate and death, is part of life. And through it, the strongest souls emerge.
