There’s been a lot of hype around this week’s SOLITUDE guest mix and we couldn’t be more gassed to share it with you… We present the almighty @samshaddows 👻 

He’s broken a record for our series so far, with this mix featuring TWELVE unreleased tunes from himself and colleagues on big labels, as well as a total of FIFTEEN self-produced riddims. Some of which are fresh off the DAW and have never been heard before - SOLITUDE world exclusives in full effect 🌎 

Shadows was previously known as Splinter and even back then, he was quickly recognised for his intricate layering within productions, his wide and technical soundscapes and his effortless blend of smooth liquid, complex rollers and atmospheric samples in all of his releases 🎹 

Since Shadows became his new alias, his work rate and overall skill as a DJ & producer have gone through the roof 🏠 ⬆️ 

His debut EP “Reflections” reached #3 on the @beatport D&B chart with the release dropping via our friends at @sine-audio. A few weeks later, he dropped the “Illuzion” EP with @incurzionaudio featuring a big bad collab with @exult_uk - If you haven’t checked these yet, please do so ASAP they’re fire 🔥 

He’s got another EP dropping over the next few weeks, details TBC. Follow his socials to keep up to date as the man is active in 2021 and is booked up throughout the rest of the year, especially in his new hometown Bristol and his old bits in London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 

It’s also worth mentioning that he’s one of the soundest guys you’ll ever meet. Heart of gold combined with a ridiculous brain that’s wired to dedicate his energy towards to his music, friends, BMX runs and overall good human vibe ♥️
