The EP opens with the heavy-hitting duo Ulterior Motive’s grimy, driving track “Radian” with a Noisia-esque bassline that perfectly compliments the industrious intro and quirky, shuffling symbols throughout the tune.

Next up, are two sound engineer geniuses in my opinion, Icicle & Proxima bringing you “Stimulation”. A track that brings both artists sounds together with clear snappy drums hitting over the top of some superb scratchy sound design topped off perfectly with heavy percussive fills.

On the more melodic spectrum of the EP, Drum & Bass veterans, Technimatic deliver this epic masterpiece, “Transference”. Starting off with a beautiful intro that leads perfectly into a huge drop filled with a huge driving bassline carried by a massive string undertone and a soothing vocal that’ll remind you why Technimatic are the best at their craft.

To close out this huge 4 track release, is Alix Perez’s gigantic remix of label head-honcho Friction and quartet Fourward’s “Battle Scars” featuring MC Jakes. Alix Perez has had quite a break from Drum & Bass while working more towards his half time and hip hop influenced tracks, but boy oh boy are happy to have him back for this perfect remix to end the EP on. From it’s minimalistic drop that delivers a massive punch, it’s dark gloomy intro, to Jakes’ vocals, this track delivers everything and more of what a remix should be.

If Part 1 is anything to go by, then the next 3 installments of this incredible milestone should be just as packed with huge material. Here’s to the next 100 releases Shogun.
