Shogun Audio is the brainchild and life-long ambition of DJ Friction . Since its launch in 2004, Shogun has steadily been gaining recognition for being one of the most forward-looking, diverse and exciting drum & bass record labels in the industry.

A self-confessed old school vinyl junkie, setting up a label to support his beloved vinyl habit was a natural next step for Friction , having firmly established himself as a DJ and producer.

The label has picked up legions of loyal fans in its short lifespan, with many buying Shogun releases as a matter of course knowing that they'll hit the mark. Shogun's output spans the full spectrum of the genre, and has rapidly become synonymous with high quality drum & bass.

A camp of core Shogun Artists provide the foundations for the label, with DJ Friction & K-Tee, recent signing Alix Perez and newcomers SpectraSoul at the helm. Regular musical input comes from the likes of D-Bridge, Commix , Break, Noisia , & Klute, amongst others, ensuring premiere output with every single release.

Like the label, the night brings some of the freshest, most energetic drum & bass talent to The End, with artists from the label and beyond. Friction is a firm believer in playing longer sets so he can showcase the diversity of his sound - and at most of the Shogun Audio nights expect to see him playing for two or three hours. The lounge hosts a diverse selection of genres...so expect boundaries to be broken. Another drum n bass heavyweight for Friday nights at The End...don't miss!
