Following a string of successful label releases in a short period of time, DLR is ready to unleash his debut solo album on Dispatch Recordings, entitled ‘Seeing Sounds’.

Having previously collaborated with Octane on the ‘Method In The Madness’ album, DLR has quickly established his own signature sound; an instantly recognizable groove mischievously poking through the mix, terrorizing dancefloors in a truly unique way.

As an album concept, ‘Seeing Sounds’ is DLR’s exploration into sound design and how the manipulation of organic elements and subtle soundscapes can create imagery within the music; to set the scene and immerse the listener up to a cinematic level.

Commencing this quest from abstract beginnings, DLR investigates over a selection of different formats and styles, ranging from the tantalizing neck snapper “Charlie Brown” to the sinister breakbeat nonchalance of “I Found Out”.

Inviting external influences to the fold; specially selected guests join the project to explore further, including Total Science, creating the cataclysmic “Control The Sound”, Hydro, the ambient chords and emotive vocal sample in ‘Empyreal” and partner in crime Break, resulting in the mighty, yet constrained “Human Error”.

Since Resident Advisor’s initial announcement, the album has garnered support from all corners, including Noisia, Friction (numerous Radio 1 plays), Goldie, Calyx & Teebee and The Upbeats, with Mixmag selecting it as their February ‘Album of the Month’. The early support from Friction on his BBC Radio 1 show also led to a special invite where DLR dropped an album mix in for live broadcast on the 13th of January.

With an innate understanding of the technology available and a shrewd willingness to exploit it, ‘Seeing Sounds’ is the culmination of DLR’s very best work to date.

2. Need For Mirrors - Wood & Water
3. Need For Mirrors - Hard Life
4. Need For Mirrors - Motto

Soul In Motion head honcho Need For Mirrors returns to V Recordings with a brand new EP, and as always the bar is raised high. Anyone who has listened to Need For Mirrors before will know that this is one producer you can rely on to bucks the trends and make music which is not only true to himself, but also the original Drum & Bass blueprint. The Wood & Water EP is certainly no exception! 

Whilst always giving a nod to the pioneers who have come before, Need For Mirrors has carved out his own space within D&B and made it uniquely his own. Combining dubbed out rollers, with harder edged tracks, and certainly no stranger to a big bassline, NFM guides the listener on a journey through his 4 track collection. Always experimenting, but always with one eye on the dancefloor.

Of course if you want to check out this producer and his music in his natural environment, pushing boundaries and making people move their feet, then a trip to London's Soul In Motion will make everything crystal clear.

In the past 5 years Need For Mirrors is a name that has positioned itself among the greats of modern Drum & Bass, whose relentless output of high-quality and original material has secured releases on the scene’s most prestigious labels including V Recordings, Metalheadz, Symmetry, Playaz, Spearhead, Hospital, Dispatch Recordings and more.

For our final release of 2016, we are proud to have reached our milestone 100th Dispatch release, marking the occasion with a Various Artists’ compilation featuring some of our favourite producers from the past and present.

Celebrating some of the artists that have moulded the label today, whilst simultaneously showcasing upcoming talent, the album is split into two parts – the ‘Future Blueprint’; including original / newly remixed music from the likes of DLR, Skeptical, Gerra, Stone & Cern and the ‘Past Blueprint’; a selection of our best loved cuts from over the years, with numerous showings from Survival, Break and Zero T, plus classics from A.I., Marcus Intalex and Duo Infernale.

Reflecting on how the label and artists have developed together in time, further names appear on both Parts 1 & 2, including Script (on ‘Sahara’ with Survival and also the classic ‘Set Up The Set’) and label boss Ant TC1, alongside Chris SU and Stress Level first for ‘Waves’ and now, remixing Nymfo’s ‘Coming Through’ with Seattle duo Quadrant & Iris.

With special thanks to all the fans, press and DJs that have supported us over the years, we are thrilled to have made it to a century of releases; with so much good music around today, we look forward to sharing our plans for 2017 and on.

DIFFERENT MUSIC PRESS RELEASE (DIFF011)

Artist: Arkaik
Title: Trauma EP
Label: Different
Release date: Mon 23rd Jan 2012

Tracklist:
A: Trauma
B: Headskill (feat. MC XL)
C: Vertebrae (feat. Jekyll)
D: Turncoat

“Leonard was kinda flat out for almost most of the winter of 2011, but for some reason the neck kept twitching. Meanwhile, back over in the UK, that sticky bass creator, Peter Arkaik was in the studio letting out his bad moods and stress relief over the EP project. The poor pink giraffe was almost traumatised by the renegade bassline's floating around on the halftime giraffestep track "Turncoat", so much that the on site veterinary nurse was rushed over to the diffrent HQ to deal with the matter. While in the studio, she noticed Leonard was getting shaken up quite a bit due to Jekyll constantly trying to get busy with Arkaik working to get the collaboration "Vertebrae" finished, while having MCXL throwing down all his toughest lyrics down to lay over the "Headskill" track. All in all, we could cut a long story short, and say this EP has been quite a TRAUMA"

You’ve only got to hear the name of this EP to know that Diffrent are going in dark for 2012.  Following the critically acclaimed ‘Laughing at Clouds’ by Frederic Robinson, Arkaik has stepped up for the next instalment of Diffrent’s distinctively bass heavy take on D&B with four deep, seismic-rupturing tunes. Arkaik has been making noise in the alternative D&B scene since his first release ‘Stress Relief/Second Bass’ dropped last year. With more releases forthcoming on Different, soon to be dropping release on Dispatch Ltd, and support from artists such as Amoss, Fathom Audio, AntTC1, DJ Script, Anile and many more, he’s certain to secure this reputation further.    

True to the Diffrent ethos of not releasing “Soul-less D&B music that has to sell”, this is far from run of the mill jump-up; there is as much food for thought as there is for the club in this EP.  

The title track ‘Trauma’ erupts from dreamy synths into a punchy system-smasher replete with metallic stabs and rolling subs, a perfectly balanced symphony of restrained aggression.  Next up ‘Headskill’ featuring MC XL takes another direction, and the synergy of producer and MC is refreshingly evident in a meticulously arranged D&B assault that promises to ‘make you rush like the finest blow’.   Keeping the momentum, ‘Vertebrae’ ft Jekyll is a massive blend of spinal trauma inducing sub-pressure and razor-sharp technical’s that shimmer out of the menacing bass weight like submerged sonars.  Rounding off the EP is ‘Turncoat’, and here the halfstep feel and multi-faceted, snarling bass oscillations clearly demonstrate Arkaik’s innovative, experimental approach to D&B. Enough said.

Thanks; Arkaik, Dexta, Example Media,, Hunchbak,,Jekyll, Joban Thomas, MC XL & ST Holdings

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.
