Shogun Audio putting out Alcemist and DRIIA’s “Search Deep” is a good match — the label has always had taste and this track has that Shogun quality of being polished without being sterile. The DnB here is on the more introspective end of the spectrum, which given the label makes complete sense. There’s real space in the production — elements come in and out with intention, which is harder to pull off in DnB than most people realize because the genre naturally wants to fill everything. DRIIA’s contribution gives it an atmospheric quality that stops “Search Deep” from just being another functional DnB release. Alcemist has been building a solid catalog and this feels like a step up from their previous material. Shogun Audio keeps the standard high and this track earns its place on the label. If you like your DnB with actual craft behind it rather than just speed and volume, this one’s worth your time.
