Shadow Net Recordings concludes 2024 with its inaugural Annual compilation, showcasing exceptional tracks from this year and prior, illuminating the label’s promising future.
Drum and bass is experiencing a resurgence, with a multitude of artists promoting the genre globally. This rise is particularly notable in the US, where audiences have begun to embrace its vibrant sounds after years of relative obscurity. While major acts take the spotlight at prominent festivals and embark on extensive tours, an underground movement continues to innovate and elevate the genre. Central to this movement is Shadow Net Recordings.
In recent years, Shadow Net Recordings has released some of the most distinctive tracks in the drum and bass scene, establishing itself as a nurturing ground for emerging talent. As they wrap up 2024, the label has curated its first-ever Annual compilation, featuring some of the most notable tracks from their catalog, reflecting on their legacy and future direction.
Shadow Net Recordings’ Annual “001” comprises 22 tracks, each delivering a mix of high-energy beats and captivating moments that invite repeated listens. The compilation includes contributions from artists such as Akuma, CyFunk, Stenchman, Toastie Tailor, echochamber, Loudek, 357, among others, making it a must-listen for drum and bass enthusiasts.
While all tracks are noteworthy, four standout songs deserve special attention. The VIP remix of “Backroads” by Dunk and REBEL is a standout track that propels you forward. Haptic’s “Hallucination” opens with a haunting vocal loop, followed by dynamic drums that keep the energy flowing. Another highlight is Joe Ford’s remix of Stenchman and Meloki’s “4th Child,” which masterfully captures every twist and turn. Lastly, Effluvium’s “End of Days” features fragmented vocals over a frenetic tempo, creating an exhilarating listening experience.
