Two legendary producers within the drum & bass scene have teamed up to make one of the summer’s most soulful records.

Released on Zinc’s label, Bingo Beats, ‘Fade Away’ is a collaboration between the mighty Japanese liquid soul legend Makoto and the ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ himself, DJ Zinc.

Makoto carved out a name for himself on Bukem’s infamous liquid (or intelligent drum & bass as it was once known) label, Good Looking.

Producing only the most jazziest and soulful of tunes, he is self-classified as Japan’s Chief of drum of bass.

What with the hiatus of Good Looking, Makoto has more recently released on Hospital and collaborated with Marky on his Innerground imprint.

DJ Zinc on the other hand, is better known for hitting the mark with massive 90’s club tracks ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ and ‘Casino Royal’.

The new collaboration is perhaps the finest in liquid drum & bass and is bound to be one of the hits of the summer.
