ANDY C - Nightlife 6 - OUT NOW - http://po.st/Nightlife6iTunes

The enthralling ‘Nightlife 6’ EP story continues at rapid pace… Andy C’s largest ever mix release: across three CDs he’s curated nothing but the very best new music from the scene’s most talented, dynamically daring producers. 

The second of this unmissable two-part EP release, here are four more examples of contemporary creativity that Andy’s weaved into ‘Nightlife 6’ with razor-sharp exactitude. 

We launch with DC Breaks’ ‘Slugs’. A gigantic, guttural sonic slam-dunk, the swampy bass slithers and squirms throughout while a paranoid arpeggio adds a critical sense of drama over a heavyweight rhythm. It’s been a massive year for DC Breaks and ‘Slugs’ shows just why. 
Up next is another Ram native who’s had an impeccable year. A quintessential screw-face roller, ‘Portland’ sees Rene LaVice celebrating everything we love about dark, dirty drum & bass. Unrelenting reload-ready bass tones laid gracefully over tight breakbeat: this is a future classic. No question. 
‘Nightfall’ follows. Known for his sharp-tongued MC acuity, here Codebreaker reveals his stunning and soulful vocal skills. Complemented by Stealth’s uncompromising, sheet metal riddim and iced-out mournful minor chords, there’s an incredible sense of balance and head-turning contrast. Truly unique. 
Dose finalises this gargantuan two part EP series with the unruly romp ‘Bounce Off’. Sprung with chop-slapping bass, mind-blowingly heavy kick drums and a hype-heaving MC vocal, this ferocious tear-up lives up to its name in every way: Dancefloor mayhem guaranteed… There is no better way to conclude one of Ram Records’ biggest EP releases of 2013.

DJ Maars- Come Dancing

Hibernating against an already impressively tight discography, Program has been biding its time in unleashing this next release. 

With some of the genre’s most technically adept artists, the track-listing alone is enough to grab your attention. There is a high calibre of production standard present throughout the LP, audible from start to finish. 

Whether you become submerged by Freek’s rolling ‘Enamoured’, accompanied by the pristine vocals of Pia Thaleia, or captured by the apocalyptic sounds of Slang Banger’s ‘Slaughter House’, every taste is catered for. Program sets aside its older sister label Ram and creates a breathing space, allowing it to grow. The label is a heavyweight in its own right; this album is only reaffirms that fact. 

And such a range of versatility comes with names both old and new. L 33 returns to the imprint, with clashing bass conundrum ‘Manipulate’. Gerra & Stone also make an anticipated reappearance; their contribution ‘Po’rdosol’ is a steppy riddim constructed through a medley of beats and sliced up sample. 

But relative newcomer Elliott Mac uses the LP as a pedestal for another stellar production. The budding artist flexes his capabilities across the soundscape of ‘Filter City’, delicately composed yet highly intricate. It’s demonstrative of Program’s dedication to emerging artists, sifting through cyberspace to showcase some of the best acts the underground has to offer. 

So now it’s time to prepare your subs and plug in your speakers – Program have made a welcome return, further solidifying their position as leading tastemakers with a quality ensured guarantee. It’s once again, time to get with the Program!

'Shadow Theories EP'

A. "The Wayman Break"
B1. "Vortice (w/Fre4knc)"
B2. "Stalling Theme (ft. Viv May & C.Tivey)"
C. "Crooked Arm [Digital Bonus]"

Release Date: 16/10/2015

We’re proud to welcome Amoss back to Dispatch this October, as they deliver their much anticipated 2nd EP with four brand new tracks, entitled the ‘Shadow Theories EP’.  

Displaying the full spectrum of the duo’s sound, the EP also includes their next collaboration with Dutch producer Fre4knc, as well as additional features from Viv May and C.Tivey.

Whether it’s a speaker pulsator for the clubs or a subtly tech-tinged groove, Amoss have an inherent ability to master any vibe they turn to, seemingly effortlessly; delivering music that is aesthetically pleasing to fellow producers, without losing its wider dancefloor appeal. 

Old skool breaks, unpredictable percussive switches and an unmistakably infectious hook make up lead track ‘The Wayman Break’, followed by the neck churning ‘Vortice’ with Fre4knc, held by a ruthlessly tight drum pattern, a track displaying pure precision and attention to detail. 

Moving smoothly into ‘Stalling Theme’, the EP takes a more harmonic, tranquil direction, accompanied by a blissful blend of Viv May’s vocals and C.Tivey on the keys, before things take a darker turn on the technical stomper ‘Crooked Arm’, as Amoss close off proceedings.

Released: 11th Dec 2015

Cosmic Bridge returns with Cosmology vol. 2, a new compilation celebrating the label's roots and its ongoing progression into the realms of dubwise sound system music and the “slow/fast” sound. 

Once again selected by label founder Om Unit, the ten exclusive productions that make up Cosmology vol. 2 showcase the talents of existing artists, new faces, and kindred spirits operating in the deeper waters of the drum & bass world. 

Opening the proceedings is the label's latest addition: Hungarian-born, NYC-residing DJ Madd alongside vocalist Jay Sparker. ‘After Dark’ blends traditional roots vibes and modern day sub pressure with a catchy hook to start things off on the right foot. Parisian dub scientist Moresounds and German vibes specialist Danny Scrilla both deliver two cuts each, the former teaming up with DJ Madd for ‘Undastand’ at the half-way mark of the album and the latter taking us out with an ambient VIP of his piano-led ‘Rigel 7’. Last but not least, Boston's Graphs, who debuted on the label at the tail end of 2014, teases the tension on the short but sweet ‘Wrist On Glacier’. 

The rest of the compilation sees Om Unit in collaboration mode. First with partner in crime, and Astrophonica boss, Fracture for ‘Chatting Breeze’ and a subtle homage to the enduring influence of Chicago's footwork sound. Then on ‘Half The Battle’ where he spars with none other than Distance over a sparse production that channels the dark energy and eyes-down fetichism of classic dubstep. Completing the picture are two remixes of recent Om Unit productions: London's Sully crunches ‘Wagonists Riddim’ down into 8-bit audio pixels while drum & bass veterans Loxy & Resound propel ‘Spiritwerk’ deeper into the abyss. 

With Cosmology vol. 2, Om Unit and crew continue their search for the perfect beat and invite you to join them for a rightful celebration. Forward! 

Cosmology Volume 2 is released on 11th December 2015 on Cosmic Bridge Records.

Terra Null Recordings proudly presents its twelfth release, two tracks from Belgium based Owl and with help from frequent collaborator, German native ILL_K. The two tracks together, “Space Totem” and “Obscure Brightness”, represent a dynamic descent into raw sound and texture, a place where Owl seems to feel especially at home. “Space Totem” as the lead and collaborative effort of the release, drives ahead with resounding sub-bass which is in turn complimented beautifully by airy percussion flourishes that fill up the atmosphere while not overwhelming one's ear. “Obscure Brightness” as its counterpart is even more explorative in nature with sparse drums that move in and around haunting pads that are as deep as they are contemplative. Together they highlight very well both Owl and Terra Null’s passion for experimentation within the 170bpm space and present a firm statement of intent around that notion. We hope you enjoy music as we press ever onward into parts unknown.

No Sleep

Proton Kid - No Sleep (Hardlogik Remix) [SECTION8051D]

"This mix is a selection of mostly my own work, including some unreleased sketches and ideas which might become future album tracks, some recent tracks from my new compilation Cosmology, music from forthcoming releases and a couple of older tracks that went relatively under the radar. I also included a beat-less version of "The Lake" from my last EP Torchlight vol.1 which I personally enjoy listening to more than the original.

It is difficult to speak too much about my own work because I believe we are all transceivers of information, and therefore my thoughts on the music won't be the same as yours so why preach about it? The best way I could describe the mix is to say it is threading a line from past to future via the present, and stylistically somewhat skewed to what you might consider "typical" of my stuff...perhaps.

Stylistically I hope to have brought the more etheric side of my work to the forefront for this selection, making it, I hope a good repeated listen. I think the best mixes take their time and fill a space around other tasks rather than demanding your entire concentration for an hour or more.

I hope that you enjoy the journey."

Outlook is proud to feature the album title track from one of our long time family members DLR, released on one of our favourites Dispatch Recordings.

‘Dreamland’ is the 2nd solo album from Bristol based DLR.
 
Continuing where his 2015 debut ‘Seeing Sounds’ left off, ‘Dreamland’ is an album concept that reflects on the world today; encouraging people to challenge the barriers and comfort zones we blissfully exist within; it’s an inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into.
 
The title track 'Dreamland' most notably features vocals from Gusto; the lyrics of which heavily influenced the whole album project giving you a taste of exactly the kind of concept / message DLR wanted to convey.
 
With various references to time, space and dreaming throughout the project, DLR searches for a deeper meaning within the music, taking a stand against the music which has lost its connection to the roots of this culture.

No event celebrates dance music’s excess and success like the Miami Winter Music Conference. Having outgrown its four-day flesh-pressed networking roots, the last two weeks of March sees the Florida hotspot don the crown as Party Central. A clubland Mecca for fans and industry players alike, it’s home to all manner of attractions during the fortnight including Ultra Fest, Spring Break, honeys, hunks and a whole host of pop-up parties held everywhere from poolsides to pool clubs. 

Thousands of shindigs, all vying for your attention: each one a showcase for labels, artists and DJs to show what they have in store for the rest of the year… And get inspired by what their peers are rocking, too.

A mainstay at the annual sun-soaked session since their first outing to the US east coast in 1998, Ram Records know the Miami experience intimately. Back then Miami was a different beast; the sole preserve of house and trance, drum & bass had to shout loudly to grab the dancers. These days Miami welcomes all shades of bass music, and D&B is the hottest ticket in both South Beach and Downtown.

Reflecting the changing attitude of the WMC and the wider world of electronic music, Ram Records have curated a compilation of their biggest Miami moments. Spanning from as early as 1999 and rolling right through to the future, each of these cuts have proved to be a bona fide banger in both peaktime sunshine and primetime nightlife.

14 years of Ram releases spread across a 14-strong selection. Press play and be whisked back through Miami’s D&B history. Timeless blasts from drum & bass past include… Ed Rush & Optical’s ever-mean percussion-heavy rub of Ram Trilogy’s ‘Mindscan’, Concord Dawn’s switch-flipping vocal bash-attack ‘Fly Away’, Sub Focus’s career-shaping ‘Airplane’ and MIST’s subtle jazz motifs on ‘Evolution’ 

These heritage bangers rub shoulders with more recent Ram releases with the likes of Culture Shock’s ‘I Remember’, Loadstar’s ‘Passenger’, Delta Heavy’s ‘Get By’, Mind Vortex’s ‘Now It’s Time’ and Calyx & TeeBee’s ‘Pure Gold’ bridging the gap between Miami’s past and present. There’s even time for an exclusive as Toronto’s man-of-the-moment Rene LaVice maintains the heat from his debut album ‘Insidious’ with a shimmering, rolling newbie ‘Query’.

Throw in other key moments such as Andy C’s remix of Major Lazers ‘Get Free’,  Wilkinson’s ‘Need To Know’ and Hamilton’s ‘Deep In My Heart’ and you haven’t just got a potted history of Miami’s biggest D&B anthems… You’ve got a unique Ram Records selection that celebrates
dance music’s success and excess to perfection. Whether you’re heading out to Miami or not this year, this is essential. Finishing off the package is Ram Trilogy – Evolution (MIST Remix) available for the first time digitally.        
 
Tracklist 
1. Major Lazer ft Amber Coffman – Get Free (Andy C Remix) 
2. Sub Focus - Airplane 
3. Culture Shock – I Remember 
4. Wilkinson – Need To Know 
5. Loadstar - Passenger

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.
