Shogun Audio Presents 2014 by Various is an impressive compilation of drum and bass tracks that showcases the label's diverse roster of artists. The album features a range of styles, from the dark and brooding sounds of Icicle's "Dreadnaught" to the uplifting and melodic vibes of Technimatic's "Chasing a Dream."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Long Gone" by SpectraSoul, which features haunting vocals and a hypnotic bassline that will keep listeners hooked from start to finish. Other highlights include the high-energy banger "Stomp" by Audio, and the soulful and atmospheric "Always" by LSB.
