Drum-N-Bass

DNB -- dark/deep

Drum & Bass: Roller, Underground & Tech

New drum&base

Drum & Bass

Deep DNB

From Cygnus Music: Skull & Bones kicks us off, with its funky, lilting intro, which drops into some rolling Eastern effects. Bass is never far away, underpinning MC Kwality’s deep, resonating rhymes. Things get minimal after the intro, with booming pads taking the helm, along with continued percussion and mini-breaks. The atmosphere is menacing, whilst maintaining musicality. Skull & Bones is pure soundsystem fodder, ready to wreck any sound, anywhere. Get ready to hear this one at all the festivals this summer.



Dabs & MC Kwality - Skull & Bones (HZN067A)

DIS070

A. DLR, Hydro, Villem & Mako "The Formula"
AA. Villem, Linden, Fields & Mako "Saturate"

Release Date | 19.08.2013

It’s team time again as we issue yet another huge collaborative effort from some of the scenes most accomplished producers and biggest names.

DIS070 draws together the collective powerhouse force of DLR, Hydro, Villem, Fields, Mako and Linden over two tracks to provide an outing of gigantic proportion, individually each producer within their own right is more than capable of delivering the goods in solo work mode, so imagine the results you would get from locking them all up in a dark studio room together for hours on end to channel their combined genius!

Well the result of that scenario is right here and is everything and more you may expect it to be. “The Formula” sees DLR, Hydro, Villem & Mako in combination for an effort that is nothing short of sublime, each bringing their own finely tuned skillset to the table in perfect compliment to each others skills whilst at the same time adding their own perfect measure of individual ingredients to produce a near perfect recipe. This one has already had the Friction seal of approval and thus has been aired twice to date on his weekly BBC Radio 1 show.

The flip sees Villem, Linden, Fields & Mako jump in together for “Saturate”
This time the result is a massive heavyweight roller underpinned with a frightening amount of low-end grunt. The perfect compliment to the A-Side and a devastating track for any dance floor regular.

Thanks for the support.

Astronaut & Eyes - Pinball (Bluescreens Remix) OUT NOW !

All conquering UK rap crew Foreign Beggars, who recently teamed up once more with long time collaborator Alix Perez on their Modus EP, call on another of drum & bass's biggest talents to give the EP's title track a 170 refix. Here at Data Transmission we bring you the exclusive premiere of Calyx & Teebee's Modus remix. Retaining the minimal nature of the hip hop original, the half time intro draws you in: Metropolis spits his fire bars before it twists and switches into a techy, bass driven beast. Orifice Vulgatron handles the breakdown, his rapid fire delivery amping you up for round two with more ice cold percussion edits.
Modus Remixes is out Deceber 1st on Par Excellence. Grab a copy from here: http://bit.ly/ModusRemixes

Black Sun Empire & State Of Mind - Ego (Blackout)
Release Date: OUT NOW
Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/ego/1410375

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Drum & bass stalwarts Black Sun Empire are to follow up a trio of recent EPs from The Upbeats, Neonlight and Pythius with the release of ‘Until The World Ends’ - a five-track, collaborative EP with NZ duo State Of Mind. Lead single ‘Ego’ will be released on 7th December via their genre-defining Blackout imprint, drawing an end to a prolific 2014 for the label. 

‘Ego’ immediately sets the tone for the rest of the EP, with growling bass lines and punchy synth-stabs underpining dark, techy atmospherics and vocal loops. Skittering melodics then give way to signature frenetic beats and firing drums to round off proceedings in style.

Blackout have built a reputation for curating their own brand of dark, neurofunk-inspired drum & bass over the past 12 months and this collaboration with long-term collaborators State Of Mind - who released their latest album ‘Eat The Rich’ via Blackout earlier this year - feeds into the hype already surrounding the label moving into 2015.

Noisia &amp; Phace - Floating Zero (Icicle Remix) - Invisible 004

**NOTE: All vinyl pre-orders will be posted early (ahead of the general release date) from our store from 24/08/2015 onwards.**

This special set of releases has been put together with the dubplate culture firmly in mind. Each release is shipped blank, with no label fixed to the record. You can choose to add the numbered inner sticker, or leave the record blank and keep the name of your secret weapon a mystery.

The first single back since his incredible ‘Under Another Sky’ album last year, we're very pleased to welcome Cern to deliver #4 in the highly demanded ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ series. As per the previous editions, each vinyl will showcase a thicker set 180 grams in weight, hand numbered (1 – 300), hand-stamped, signed, with an added label sticker pack with all 300; never to be re-pressed. The records will be signed by both Cern and Ant TC1.

Track B1 – Cern & Mayhem – Hydraulic will not be available as a digital download, it is a dubplate exclusive track.

This time round we have only 150 to sell through our store instead of the usual 200 (currently as of 14/08/2014 we have around 1/10th of these left to sell!), so make sure you are one of the first people to receive a copy of this record by ordering yours today.

This is a pre-order item and cannot be shipped until the specified postage date from our store. If you order any other physical items along with it, your order will only be shipped once all items are available to ship.

The vinyl copy specifications are as follows:
• 180g 12" vinyl (heavier and thicker than standard releases)
• Full inner label & additional bonus sticker pack included
• Kraft card outside sleeve (no artwork but will be 'stamped' on with a 'Dispatch Recordings' label black ink stamp)
• Additional plastic outer protection sleeve
• Numbered ___/300
• Signed by Ant TC1 & Cern
• No re-press (ever!)

Pre-order

Pola & Bryson - Temporary Love (ft. BLAKE)(S.P.Y Remix)

"The intro break of  'Twin' was actually the drop, the cymbal break that comes in was meant to be the switch, the intro pad/strings all came later, just the way it looped over in one section I liked the contrast, something flukey happened, just ended up working well and expanding on that idea. The 'new' drop then became something that was inspired by Marcus Intalex, RIP :( The focus was the vocal and atmospheres to keep the track feeling deep with the and minimal, and it slowly started filling out." - Obeisant

C. Obeisant - Twin [OUT NOW]

A big thanks to Noisia for the support on this LP.

The highly anticipated debut album from London based duo Amoss is finally here; we are pleased to introduce ‘Everything Is Temporary’.

Backing an impressive run of Dispatch EPs and singles, ‘Everything Is Temporary’ is the culmination of Amoss so far; written alongside heavy touring, through years of scrutinous, hard graft in the studio, the album is a snapshot into their progression.

Pressurising themselves with the concept of what an ‘album’ should entail, it was Codebreaker’s monologue ‘Everything Is Temporary’ that changed their view on the project, inspiring them to stick true to themselves and deliver raw, unfiltered material that would be an honest reflection of Amoss over the years and today.

"When we heard that lyric 'everything is temporary' it was like 'yeah it f*****g is temporary', so why are we worrying about this, what's the point? Let's just do what we've done all along, it hasn't failed us yet. We've worked with a number of people over the years and collaborations were on the table, but in the end, this is an Amoss record and so that's what it is; us writing music that is Amoss in 2017.”

A sincere and honest look into underground Drum & Bass' strong beating heart, Amoss are proud to reveal their debut album with Dispatch Recordings.

A. “Chronograph”
B1. “SE27”

"As a DJ and a label owner Eneis sound encapsulates all that is great about the essence of this genre. A formidable mixture of rolling drums, floor shaking bass and attitude. Whilst retaining a deft touch. I'm incredibly proud that Critical is able to release this album from one of the scenes most exciting talents" - Kasra (Critical Music)

Since bursting onto the drum & bass scene back in 2008, the uber-talented young Russian upstart Alexey Egorchenkov has become one of the hottest properties in electronic bass music. Better known as Enei, his brand of forward thinking musical muscle has featured heavily ever since in the sets of Kasra. Friction, Andy C and many more, and in 2011 Kasra snapped him up to become Critical’s first ever exclusive signing. A name on the tip of most tongues, Enei’s debut album has been the talk of the D&B town and is now finally ready to unveil as we head towards the close of 2012. ‘Machines’ is set to catapult Enei to new heights, a long player of devastating proportions full of incredible bass-wayed angst, vocal masterpieces and production that’s second to none. Get ready for the sound of the ‘Machines’, the most anticipated drum & bass album of 2012 and you’re about to find out why.

The Moment feat. DRS

A personal fave of ours from the album, this is Survival and Silent Witness all guns blazing straight for the dance floor in a very militant fashion with "What I Need"

Huge support on the album from pretty much every like-minded artist in the scene including three BBC Radio 1 air plays on select tracks to date on DJ Friction's show...
We can't wait to unleash this masterpiece of an album in full on the 25th of Feb 2013.

Some quotes received from our peers in the scene about the full album itself...

BTK: "Wicked album, hard to pick up a favorite... :) Big ups!"

Ulterior Motive: "Sounding wicked!"

Xtrah: "They went IN! Great work"

SPY: "Wicked LP"

Cold Fusion: "So many weapons on here, really spoilt for choice! A strong body of work, with a rich and diverse selection of tunes. Think I'll have to live with it a while before picking a favourite but cant see this one leaving the bag for a while! Great stuff!"

One of the UK’s freshest new drum & bass talents drops his debut solo single on Critical, this one is simple mammoth! Emperor has been making waves over the past couple of years moonlighting with various camps but it was the keen ear of label boss Kasra that cottoned on early drawing him deep into the Critical ranks. If this new single is anything to go by, one of the best decisions Critical could have made.
The cinematic intro of ‘Begin’ is beautiful blend of strings, reversed fx and the sultry vocals of Georgia Yates who featured on the Enei album last year. All build to a haunting dropout before the next stage, an absolute nasty tech-stepping future roll-out that’s been getting Fabric in sweat these last few months. Twisted, uplifting and wonderfully emotive, this is another slice of Critical magic.
Next up and we’re treated to the vintage double-bass grooves of ‘She Said’. Another huge epic intro featuring a soaring vocal drifting over ethereal pads features here as hi-end percussion leads into the fattest bassline for a properly funked up dance floor workout. Think Roni Size ‘Brown Paper Bag’ or Peshay’s ‘Miles From Home’ for 2013...bad to the bone!

Emperor - She Said [OUT MAY 13TH]

Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 14 (since 1992).  His first release alongside frequent production partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder.  After their first release hit the stores they quickly picked up a wealth of DJ support across their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo Beats and Samurai Music.

By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky.  Branching out and working with other producers such as Survival, DLR & Philth has only furthered experience Ant’s skills at the controls over the years, Ant has also released his own solo material more recently on top of remixing for the likes of Lomax on Integral Records.  In 2014 Ant realised a lifetime ambition, securing his first ever release for the legendary Metalheadz label “Hungry For Atmosphere” alongside Mako, DLR & Villem with further releases for the label and counting going into 2024.

Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix CD’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G.  Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the radio shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio, Goldie, Bailey & Rene LaVice on their respective BBC Radio 1 slots over the years as well as BBC 1Xtra where Ant once hosted his own one-off 4 hour show, he has since additionally made 2 guest DJ appearances for DJ Friction on his Radio 1 show.  His DJ’ing work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Sarajevo, Vancouver to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK and EU wide. Additionally for the most part of the decade beyond 2010 Ant also worked as the Artist Manager for both Outlook and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, leading up the booking process, budgets and travel aspects for the festival.

Fast forward through to 2024; Ant is now responsible for the lead label management roles of both Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings and is based in Thailand, with a purpose built studio room recently finished the plan (alongside managing a mass of planned record label releases) is to get back to focusing on writing music more consistently than he ever has previously.
