Shogun Audio Presents: 2023

Two artists that have found a home for their exquisite sonic palettes on Shogun Audio, Pola & Bryson and Emily Makis now serve up some of their most captivating work to date. Titled 'Phoneline', this latest offering collates Emily's mesmerising vocal capabilities and songwriting with the masterful production of one of drum and bass' most talented production duos.

Following on from a monstrous 2022's in which Pola & Bryson released 'Tell You What I Did', which went into rotation on Radio 1's playlist, and remixed the likes of David Guetta, VenBee, and High Contrast, 'Phoneline' sees them link up with a future superstar and the most exciting and compelling vocalist in drum and bass music in Emily Makis.
A frenzy of drums, plucks, synth work, and vocals that all co-exist in a sphere that's equal in its vast quantities of tension, power, and beauty, 'Phoneline' is a serious statement from both artists that'll resonate with listeners in the dance just as much as it will with those hearing it at home.

It's not often that songs like this come around - we can't wait to share this one with the world.

As crisp, soulful, and polished as you'd expect a collaboration from two of drum and bass' most richly melodic and vibrant producers, GLXY & Halogenix's debut link-up is every bit as sonically sublime as we've come to expect from the two of them. 

Titled 'Unconditional', this first-ever collaboration between GLXY & Halogenix serves up a masterclass in sampling, as well as the perfect blend of vocals, drum work, and sumptuous sound design.

Intertwining lyrical vulnerability and lucid vocals with razor-sharp production, GLXY, Sustance, and Catching Cairo's debut link-up looks set to solidify itself as a majestic 170BPM single that'll resonate with drum and bass lovers far and wide.

If you've been sleeping on Javeon's ascent towards the top of D&B's vocals hierarchy, then it's about time you started to pay some serious attention. The Bristol-based vocalist's voyage into the underground world has seen him implement a further degree of sonic diversity, soulfulness, and authenticity into the drum and bass sphere whilst linking up with the likes of DJ Marky, Alix Perez, and Pola & Bryson.

His latest track 'Lifelines' sees him link up with another of drum and bass' most exciting new names in the form of Operate. Pairing beautiful toplines with heavyweight D&B goodness, 'Lifelines' is yet another top-tier track in the arsenal of both of these serious musical talents. Showcasing the chemistry and quality that Javeon and Operate have consistently displayed together on the live circuit across the past twelve months, 'Lifelines' is undoubtedly the dynamic duo's most compelling collaborative work to date.
