Y2K saw the release of Total Science’s anthem ‘Champion Sound’ Hardcore Will Never Die remix. Lurching into a new millennium, with promises of system meltdown, the end of civilisation as we know it and all other sorts of madness, its dissonant and edgy feel captured the moment perfectly. And consequently it was almost impossible to go to a Drum & Bass rave and not have this soundtrack of 2000 pummelling your eardrums then, and also ever since. 

Seen as one of the defining tunes of the genre, it has now spawned it’s own spinoff series, ‘The Hardcore Will Never Die Years’ remixes. Promising several remixes of some of the duo’s most seminal tracks from the early 2000s, from some of the biggest and best producers in the scene currently, we can now be assured of a whole host of new dancefloor weapons. 

And starting the series in true style is Break, with his ridiculous remix of ‘Squash’. A massive tune in it’s own right, ‘Squash’ was always going to need a serious working over to be bettered; and if you could trust one man to do it, it would be Break. Keeping all the original elements, brining them up to 2022 standard and then injecting his own trademark to proceedings, we are now left with everything that is good about this music in Y2K22.

Total Science - Squash (Break Remix)

A certified heater from two of drum and bass' hottest current talents, Shogun Audio are excited to present ’South Side Stepper', a long overdue debut linkup between Sustance & Particle which sees the two producers serve up a weighty, sub-heavy, and pristinely produced offering. For Sustance, ’South Side Stepper' tops off an exceptional year for the producer which saw the release of his debut album 'Perceived Connections’. 

The album, which has since been nominated in the Best Album category at the D&B Arena Awards, saw him collaborate with the likes of Flowdan, Pola & Bryson, Duskee, Strategy, and more, has gone some way in solidifying him as one of the very finest in the underground drum and bass scene.

With one of the cleanest approaches to production in the drum and bass scene, Bristol-based Sustance's razor-sharp sound has solidified him as one of the scene's most exciting producers. Following on from a monumental 2023 which saw him release his debut album 'Perceived Connections', Sustance returns to Shogun Audio with 'Take The Risk'. 

Building on the huge success of his underground anthems with heavyweight MCs Flowdan, Duskee, Strategy, and T-Man, 'Take The Risk' sess Sustance link up with Manchester-based artist Sparkz, who's now killing it as a solo artist after years of working as part of notable Hip-Hop collectives Levelz and The Mouse Outfit. A heavy and techy D&B riddim that's perfectly accompanied by Sparkz's immaculate flow, Sustance continues to up the levels release after release.

One of the most in-demand MCs on the drum and bass circuit, Duskee links up with high-flying producer Particle on their latest single 'What If'. Building on his ever-growing collection of underground anthems that includes the likes of 'Hack It (with K Motionz)', 'Waiting To Go (with DRS & Disrupta) and 'SCUM (with Sustance)', Duskee's distinctive flow and outrageous wordplay sound right at home alongside Particle's sub-heavy production. 

This single is also part of the 20 Years Of Shogun Audio LP, a 20-track deep album that features 10 exclusive remixes of our catalogue’s most legendary releases alongside 10 pieces of groundbreaking new music from a selection of drum and bass’ most exciting talents.

The Netherlands meets Portugal for Critical’s latest release, bringing together two of D&B’s brightest talents for a three-track heater.

‘Strapped’ and ‘Arrows’ live up to their names - sonic weapons with their sights set firmly on the rave.

Title track ‘Heads Anthem’ steals the show; ratcheting up the tension before discharging a nasty game of synth and bass response, awash with the sonic touches that these two exciting young producers have made their own.
