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.

Calculon & the Colonel - Reach Out My Junglists

Tried to give a damn
Couldn't give a shit

Shoot Recordings is a showcase for the new bassmusic sound being born out of juke, jungle and hardcore.  Free from expectations and committed to innovation, Shoot Recordings is a place for producers to push the limits of bassmusic, upend the patterns of established sounds and create something new.  And then shoot it in the ass and do it all again.
