‘Persia’ by Drop Frame is an essential D&B number. The intro charms us with pretty, twinkling little droplets of sound. The naughty bass eases in together with a fun, lively beat. Royalston goes gnarly on his edit with a bold and thrilling dark edge. Monika ramps up the energy with a quick and nifty tempo.

Slime is proud to unveil it’s first sister label dedicated purely to drum & bass - Shadowhearts. To celebrate it’s inaugural release we welcome the renowned Australian producer Drop Frame to our label with his incredible epic track “Persia”.

Dropping us deep from the outset into a mystical world of beguiling keys and swirling atmospherics, the track delivers a pitch perfect master-class in tension and release as the intensity slowly builds before the beat finally breaks cover and delivers a devastating salvo of precision bass heaven that will demolish any discerning dancefloor.

Hospital stalwart Royalston steps up for the first remix, twisting the original into a gigantic percussive masterpiece that works itself into an relentless groove that will absolutely melt your sneakers on contact.

Soulvent regular Monika closes off proceedings by mutating the track’s core elements into a sublime liquid roller that takes a left turn from the original into a buzzing synth odyssey that sounds like it’s being beamed back to Earth from outer space.
