- The Shogun Audio boss is at the helm of the series' next mix CD, due out in July.
Friction has mixed the latest instalment of Fabriclive, to be released on July 15th.
Although he's earned a reputation as an accomplished DJ in the world of drum & bass, these days Ed Keeley is probably best known as head of the Shogun Audio label. Home to Rockwell, SpectraSoul, Alix Perez and others, Shogun has been pushing both traditional-style drum & bass, as well as encouraging its roster to experiment outside the boundaries of the genre, for almost a decade.
No stranger to mix CDs, Keeley's Fabriclive 70 effort comes after discs for Shogun and Ministry Of Sound among others. In a press release, he describes the mix as "how [he] would play to a more knowledgeable drum & bass crowd... who are really deep into the scene." Judging from the tracklist, the CD shows off the more aggressive and dance floor-oriented side of Shogun Audio, and also includes tracks from other prominent imprints like Critical, Ram and Commercial Suicide. Packed with a number of new and upcoming Shogun Audio selections, the mix brings together tracks from the likes of Icicle, Enei, Nymfo and Total Science, plus a handful of lesser-known newcomers.
