Shawn Matthew ‘Work to the Beat’ – The Bass House Rebellion Has a New Leader
Shawn Matthew isn’t just breaking molds—he’s setting fire to them. With “Work to the Beat,” via 20k Leagues Records, the rising producer abandons his melodic house roots and dives headfirst into a volatile fusion of bass house, dubstep, and trap. This isn’t a reinvention—it’s a revolution. From the moment that opening kick smashes through the speakers, it’s clear this isn’t the Shawn fans are used to. It’s louder. Meaner. And absolutely electric.
The track is a Frankenstein’s monster of club genres. Gritty New Orleans hip-hop vocals swagger over snarling dubstep stabs, all held together by a trap-infused breakdown that feels like a riot waiting to happen. It’s not polished—it’s raw. Purposefully chaotic. And it works. Think Jauz’s aggression, Ship Wrek’s precision, and Odd Mob’s unpredictability, filtered through Shawn Matthew’s unrelenting creative vision.
What’s most thrilling isn’t just the track’s energy—it’s the risk. This is a daring departure from the dreamy progressions and lush melodies that earned Shawn his original following. “Work to the Beat” kicks the door off the hinges and challenges listeners to meet him in the pit. It’s not just a banger; it’s a challenge to the status quo of EDM.
The production here is impeccable, managing to feel grimy and refined at once. Every drop, every snare hit, every glitch feels intentional. It’s club music for the chaos generation—designed to shake your bones and hijack your heart rate. Whether it’s a festival main stage or a 3am warehouse rave, this one’s built to leave a crater.
With “Work to the Beat,” Shawn Matthew has declared himself not just a player in the game, but a disruptor on the rise. He’s carved out a lane all his own, and he’s speeding through it with no brakes. If this single is a sign of what’s next, the bass scene better buckle up.

Jara Quinn’s life changed forever in college when her parents were killed in a car accident, leaving her adrift and grieving. Determined to honor their memory, she completed her studies and found solace in the arms of Katerina Lansing, the passionate and ambitious woman who became her first love. But after graduation, life pulled them in different directions—Jara joined the FBI, driven by a need for justice, while Katerina pursued a law career, dedicated to upholding the truth. Though they stayed in touch, their relationship became a bittersweet friendship rather than the romance they once shared.
Years later, Katerina’s world is turned upside down when her father announces his bid for president and her beloved grandmother dies under suspicious circumstances after learning her Foundation was hemorrhaging money. Desperate and unsure whom to trust, Katerina reaches out to Jara for help. Reunited, the spark between them reignites while they confront the mysteries surrounding Katerina’s powerful family.
As the pair delves deeper, they uncover hidden truths, dangerous alliances, and a sinister plot that threatens the people they hold dear. The dangers they face test not only their courage but the fragile bond of their rekindled love.
In the face of secrets, betrayal, and imminent danger, Jara and Katerina must decide if their love is real and strong enough to withstand the darkness that surrounds them. With lives at stake and time running out, can they protect Katerina’s family and find a way to heal themselves?
Don’t miss your chance to be among the first to enter the nest.

About the Author
Lee Sato lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with her partner of 20 years. A graduate of Franklin College with a B.A. in Psychology and Journalism, Sato spent more than three decades immersed in some of society’s darkest realities. Her career included working with gangs in the 1980s, adolescent and child psychiatry in the 1990s, and investigating crimes against children until her retirement in 2017.
Throughout it all, the faces of troubled teens and abused children remained with her. “Closure and justice were rarely the outcome,” she reflects. Writing became a way to process what couldn’t be forgotten — not through case notes or reports, but through storytelling.
Encouraged by her partner, she returned to a lifelong love of writing and crafted the powerful narrative that would become her debut novel. Hornet’s Nest marks the beginning of a new creative chapter, one born from real-life experience, empathy, and an unflinching look into the human condition.am
