First Listen: Culture Shock wows in fiery new single, ‘Take Control’

London drum & bass mastermind Culture Shock is at it again.

He’s closing out the first month of 2019 with his first release of the year: “Take Control.” The single marks the fifth entry in his Sequence Series on Andy C‘s RAM Records, trademarked with colorful geometric artwork. Clocking in at just under five minutes, “Take Control” kicks off at a cautious pace, leading in with vibrant female vocals. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that it’s building into something formidable, as computerized beeps and a gnawing wobble usher in a grinding drum & bass rhythm. “Take Control” fits in snugly with the rest of Culture Shock’s discography, kicking off what can only be another successful year.

2018 proved to be massive for the UK producer. He released a slew of exceptional originals and remixes, including an acclaimed remix of Camo & Krooked in March. In May, Culture Shock celebrated the release of FABRICLIVE 98 by teaming up with Dimension, Friction, and 1991 for an insane two-hour back-to-back set. His emotive June release, “There For You,” was dubbed Annie Mac‘s hottest record on BBC Radio 1 and later went on to soundtrack the London Fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

“Take Control” is out RAM Records on Feb. 8.
