ShockOne Releases An Opus ‘In This Light’

Drum and Bass fans should be stoked as ShockOne has returned with a brand new, four track EP ‘In This Light’ out now on Warner Music. ‘In This Light’ follows the talented producer’s 2013 iTunes Australia #1 charter ‘Universus.’ In between the two releases, an experiment of sorts began to take place, ShockOne began delving into the deepest realms of drum and bass music and the end result is four diverse tracks that will appeal to all Drum and Bass fans. While listening to the songs, which are really good by the way, and reading the Press Release, the descriptive of the tracks provided ShockOne’s PR arm is spot on. Therefore, I can’t think of a better way to tell you about them other than sharing what has already been written. Here goes…

Opening the EP is ‘City Lock’ featuring Ragga Twins, a genre-bending bass-fuelled anthem that whet the appetites of ShockOne fans worldwide following its single and video release (see below) back in February 2016.

Next up, the title track, ‘In This Light’ explores a seamless blend of drum & bass and dubstep featuring fellow Australian homegrown talent, Savoi, who provides the melancholic vocal top-line. Combining agitated percussion riffs with euphonious melodies, ShockOne manages to create a track abundant in both musicality and hard-hitting punch.

The third track off the EP is the heaviest offering of the entire project. Titled ‘This Is Good Dubstep’ and featuring ShockOne’s long time collaborative friend, Phetsta, the track initially nods towards a traditional dub sound. Commencing with a reggae beat and guitar chords, ‘This Is Good Dubstep’ quickly develops into something far darker. Keeping the track fairly minimalistic in its syncopated cutting drums, resonating bass stabs, piercing synths and affected Ragga vocals, ShockOne creates maximum drama in this relentlessly heavy piece of dubstep.

Finishing off the EP is ‘Some Kinda Drug Warp’. A distinctively dark and high-energy drum & bass track, ShockOne weaves between wiry synths and restless percussion, resulting in a dark and tension fuelled drum & bass stomper. A heavily affected sinister vocal can be heard scattered throughout, emphasising further the dark and intense nature of this fitting finale.

‘In This Light’ is available to preview and purchase via all digital retailers.
