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 ♥️

MIX SERIES: 017 / SHADDOWS

The final part of our 5 year celebrations are here and just like our second part, we've asked a wealth of talent to remix some of the classics we've had the pleasure to release over the years. The final batch of remixes showcase the variety we've always prided ourselves on, from classic liquid vibes by Echo Motion and Hazqa, jungle flavours by Karma Kingdom, jump up by Colossus and deeper vibes by Enok & Option collaborating for the first ever time.

Up first, Enok & Option team up to take Mindloader's debut Detached offering down a deeper direction, while bringing out the best in both of their individual styles. This is followed up by Karma Kingdom returning to the label to flip K2T & Sirus' 2018 classic, 'Rwenzori'. By keeping true to the original and updating it with chopped amens and a more rugged bassline, Karma Kingdom showcases his unique take on Drum & Bass effortlessly once again.

Colossus steps to the plate next to rework Linear's track 'Calling' and transforming it into a jump up monster, showcasing this talent's versatility. Echo Motion's remix of 'A Carousel in My Mind' by K2T & Sahara follows, taking the hip hop original down a liquid Drum & Bass route, as Echo Motion does best. This EP is concluded by Hazqa, who takes K2T & Echo Motion's playful 'Arctotis' down a more mellow direction while maintaining the essence of the infectious piano hook from the original.

It's been a pleasure providing high quality music for the last 5 years and as we at Detached move into the next 5 years, we can't wait to continue staying true to our ethos.

With releases on labels such as Good Looking Records, Warm Communications and Fokuz Recordings, it’s fairly clear that Dubai based producer Altitude has an aptitude for deep Drum & Bass. For IRR-008, Altitude solidifies this statement even further with three pieces of exciting, forward thinking music that we at In-Reach can’t wait to share.

The high level of production quality and musicality that is maintained across a range of somewhat experimental elements in these tracks has got us sufficiently hyped for this release here at In-Reach. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Thanks to everyone who's supporting our music! 

Big love. IR family x

PREMIERE: Altitude - Twilight (In-Reach Records)

Our first guest mix comes from someone I've known since nearly the start of my career. I remember getting choons from this guy back in 2014. Hailing from Portugal, and a regular on the likes o Counterpoint Records, deep dubstep vibes. This one is HEAT
