Ish Chat Music / Shogun Audio / Metalheadz / Exit Records / Critical
Music Since their emergence in 2006, SpectraSoul have carved a truly
unique position, not only in Drum & Bass, but electronic music as a
whole. Having released music on only the very finest and most
respected labels in the scene, from Goldie's legendary Metalheadz, to
dBridge's boundary breaking Exit Records, and Kasra's ever progressive
Critical Music, they went on to become vital members of Friction's
irrepressible Shogun Audio imprint. Beautifully deep and etched with
groove yet powerful enough to move any dancefloor, SpectraSoul's
stunning musical productions are a far cry from the soulless,
synthetic rave fodder so many unfortunately associate with Drum & Bass
today. Their creative evolution has seen them incorporate such a
variety of tempos and moods - bending genres in the process - yet
their underlying sound remains instantly recognisable, and in many
ways unique. The breadth of their creative influences is a rarity
within their peer group; taking influence not only from a unique
mixture of musical genres and moments in time, but also from wider
fields such as photography, art, film and beyond. With the release of
their debut album 'Delay No More' in July 2012, SpectraSoul received
well-earned critical acclaim from an idiosyncratic plethora of
supporters, and impacted, not only on UK shores, but across the globe
leading to a touring schedule covering 4 continents and 30 countries,
as well as radio support from far and wide. With the singles 'Light In
The Dark' and 'Away With Me' gaining heavy rotation on BBC Radio 1,
1Xtra and 6Music. Their sophomore album, 'The Mistress' followed in
2015, and saw the duo gain notoriety from top DJ's at BBC Radio 1, and
1xtra, with the lead single, 'Always', serving as Annie Mac's 'Special
Delivery'. The world tour that followed saw the duo playing extended 3
hour sets to allow them to showcase their discography, as well as the
breadth of their taste within the 170bpm format. With this success
came a string of high profile remixes for artists such as Jungle, John
Newman, Raleigh Ritchie, Benzel, and Dornik, all of which gained
support from specialist radio figureheads such as Annie Mac, Mistajam,
Huw Stephens, Friction and others. With this success came a string of
high profile remixes for artists such as Jungle, Rag N Bone Man,
Dornik, Rudimental, Raleigh Ritchie and Benzel, all of which gained
support from specialist radio figureheads such as Annie Mac, Mistajam,
Huw Stephens, Friction and others. 2016 saw the duo spread their wings
and launch their very own label, Ish Chat Music. With the release of
three EPs in twelve months, they drastically upped the frequency and
diversity of their output, with experimental tracks sitting alongside
straight up club music. 001 to 003 garnered wide-ranging support from
Radio 1and Beats 1 and from a variety of highly respected music media
outlets such as DJ Mag, MixMag, Resident Advisor. The final quarter of
2017 will see the release of their third studio album, âHow We
Liveâ; the fourth release on their own imprint. The album is an
exploration of the underground sonic pallette and a return to the core
ideals that formed the drum and bass genre; uncompromising, energetic,
experimental and danceable. The duo, in their trademark fashion,
straddle the varying styles within the genre and showcase, once again,
the diversity of their production capabilities. + - -
