Embarking on a Sonic Odyssey: The Unveiling of "Shogun" by Phraktal and Code Bushido

Step into a captivating realm of sonic innovation as the esteemed Irish artists, Phraktal and Code Bushido, humbly join their creative forces to present the mesmerizing "Shogun" EP. This remarkable musical journey unfolds across decades, a testament to their humble evolution from underground pioneers to dynamic electronic visionaries.

Originating in the early 1990s, a shared ardour for music ignited the collaboration between Phraktal and Code Bushido. Their initial encounter transpired within the clandestine depths of Dublin's underground scene, where their harmonious vinyl-spinning sessions took place at the enigmatic Tin Pan Alley. This hidden gem of an event was only whispered about among a select few, laying the foundation for their profound artistic connection.

Guided by a shared aspiration to capture the essence of life, their creative synergy expanded beyond music, encompassing the realms of film and television. An example of this fusion is the "Dublin 2020" project, a short film capturing the spirit of the city during its pursuit of the European City of Culture title. Through this project, they demonstrated their unique ability to interweave sound with storytelling.

Their exploratory endeavours crystallized into a series of electronica house grooves with dub influences. Drawing from a rich and diverse palette, Phraktal and Code Bushido traverse the expansive territories of techno, deep house, and tech-house, leaving an indelible mark on each genre they touch.

As a herald of things to come, Bakroom takes immense pride in the formidable "Shogun." The original is a harmonious blend of razor-sharp techno and deep dub house elements intricately woven with compelling 909 rhythms and layers of effects that effortlessly captivate the senses.

Within the intricate fabric of the EP, one discovers enigmatic vocal snippets, meticulously crafted foley edits, and tantalizing fragments of environmental symphonies, creating an unparalleled immersive experience. The craftsmanship of Phraktal and Code Bushido shines brightly as they expertly fuse samurai-themed effects with the sounds of trains, cars, dialogues, and industrial elements, resulting in an EP comprising four genre-transcending compositions.

The "Shogun" EP extends an invitation to embark on an extraordinary auditory odyssey that defies conventions and expectations. Joining Phraktal and Code Bushido on this journey are remixes by the radiant G-Prod and Sylar, accessible on major streaming platforms. Together, they unleash a sonic tapestry that eloquently encapsulates their profound artistic evolution, effectively redefining the essence of techno with every resonating note. DJ support from Carl Craig, Jamez, Maceo Plex, Jamie Stevens, Anthony Pappa and Stacey Pullen
