After yet another sensational year for the label its time for Shogun Audio to round it all off in typically heinous fashion with the fourth and very final ever installment of the most renowned EP series of recent years, Evolution. The word couldnt be more apt for a stable of artists who continue to defy the boundaries, astounding critics and fans all over the world and final part of the series picks up where the previously acclaimed EPs left off, aiming to end it on a high with the strongest issue yet. Offering an array of talent from different angles of the drum & bass spectrum this is without doubt an essential addition to the discography and the perfect way to draw a line under the Evolution EPs. Kicking off the EP is the very first outing on the label for Optiv & BTK who take a break from Ed Rush & Opticals Virus camp to deliver Understand, an awesome piece of tech wizardry that oozes class and vision. Brooding to the max with Sam Wills robo vocal this ones a seriously dangerous piece of audio artillery in the right hands. Its left up to Shoguns own Prototypes to keep up the aural assault and they dont disappoint with Blackout. This is The Prototypes as youve never heard them before, angry, underground and absolutely tearing! As MC ID intros telling its time to blow the roof off, thats exactly what happens as the kicks drop and the pummeling bass blows us into kingdom come. Sick is an understatement, you wont believe your ears! Next up to take the reigns is the inimitable studio genius they call Icicle and you know when Icicle does it dance floor he does it different! Timer is a warped escapade into the minds eye of Jeroen Snik as he teaches us the finite art of how to roll out an ice cold banger pure and simple. One of his more out and out D&B cuts this is sure to please all of the Shogun faithful. Finishing off the EP is Sgn:Ltds newest signing Technimatic, who dig deep into their liquid lounge of soothing atmospheric drum and bass to bring us Solace. Cruising gently along with wide-eyed vocals and an elastic bassline thatll test any system this is a gorgeous way to end the last in the Evo series, a staggeringly great EP from a label that knows no different.
