Shoot Recordings presents Forward Ever, the new album from Calculon. For years Calculon has been known for his high-energy liquid rollers, and more recently he's switched gears to create genre-busting uptempo jungle rippers. Forward Ever brings those two sounds together, and represents Calculon's evolution as an artist across nine tracks of forward-thinking, late night funk.

Recorded in California, Jamaica, Chicago and Mexico, among other places, Forward Ever features an array of collaborating producers, including Grammy-nominated artist Stunna, jungle legends Spikey Tee and Whizard, and rising stars Arietta, Shamanga and Rainforest, with vocals from the Colonel and Lailah Reich, and saxophone from the mighty Devoe.

Stand out tracks include single releases Liquid Summer, a golden, musical roller; Bust, a filthy slab of late-night jungle insanity, and the title track, Forward Ever, an innovative stepper that's like nothing you've heard before. Other highlights include the lead-off Reach Out My Junglists, which invites you to "plug it in, tune it in, the junglist hallucinogen"; Get You Now, a soulful upfront stormer; California Heat, with straight jungle breaks to the dome; Dub Busters, a moody futuristic roller, and Gully Goat, the dark energy anthem born from a Jamaican gully.

Together, the tracks on Forward Ever span the scope of jungle music, yet remain cohesive through the force of Calculon's musical vision, an energized collection that rocks hard from start to finish. With his eyes on the future and his heart in the club, Calculon is proud to offer Forward Ever for 2023.

emplate first heard the sounds of Jungle/Drum & Bass in the summer of '96 and was instantly enchanted. A drummer, and heavily influenced by hip hop, metal, industrial, classical and jazz; emplate believes drum and bass embodies everything he had been listening to and loved before it.

In '99 he knew that listening was not enough. He needed more than mixtapes and parties to get his fix. Inspired by the DJs around him and his love for DnB, he dedicated himself to seeking knowledge, selection and skill. emplate soon became respected both technically and for his sets that interweave neurofunk and darker, minimal DNB tunes that are often peppered with liquid dancefloor tracks if the mood is right.

In 2006, emplate became a resident DJ at the former weekly and nationally recognized DnB event "in:verse". Always interested in moving the scene forward, emplate helped develop The Cleveland Drum n Bass Coalition and (216)BASS, both local platforms that Northeast Ohio DnB heads used as a vehicle to further their careers. In August of 2014, emplate joined up with Rockers Music. Excited about having a DnB label out of Cleveland, emplate spearheaded the local launch of the Rockers 175 label with the “Step Inside” & "Kismet" monthly events held at the Beachland Ballroom, bringing in names such as: Lenzman, Doc Scott, Total Science, Zero T, The Prototypes, Crissy Criss, DJ SS, Aphrodite, Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy & more. After stepping away from the label & the turbulent life of event promotions, he focused on being the best DJ he could be...taking his mixing to new levels & determined to prove that he's underrated, not only in his hometown & state, but the U.S. as a whole.

For two decades, emplate has been known for his diverse selection of up to date releases, promos & unreleased tracks & plays accordingly to timeslot, crowd & vibe.
