Ant TC1 - Studio mix - March 1997 (extracted from tape and re-mastered)

Recorded almost 25 years ago this one, way back in my later teen years.  First time this one has gone on line anywhere.  Found deep in a box of tapes I've not even looked at since the 90's. Brings back good memories of that era in life listening back. 97' was another solid year for this music and it's ongoing progression.

I used to call these 'studio mixes' but in reality back then I was 18 - still living at my Mum's house in Huddersfield, they were recorded there (and only ever recorded there in the 1990s), the actual studio (and any said / claimed recordings) came well and truly later on in life.

One I found on an old, very worn out looking (and sounding!) TDK 60 tape when packed up and made the move out of the UK. Did this way back when I was 17 years of age in my 4th ever year of DJ'ing (since starting out); the same year I earned a long term residency at D.O.P.E in Leeds. Good memories 👌

Tried to remaster it the best I can with (hiss reduction and balancing, limiter plug ins etc) but yeah - not easy! Problem was back then I spent every penny I had on records so when it came to recording any mixes the tapes got re-recorded upon re-recorded on week in week out - they soon degraded somewhat on each tape over (not just that I used to re-start studio mixes 6 or 7 times across a day or 2, any one who grew up with this music in that era will most probably relate).

More uploads from years gone by on the way shortly.

Dug a very old mix out from the archives (one I recorded almost 16 years ago  to be exact across 2 TDK 90 tapes).  It's 3 hours long in total and has been remastered a touch so it sounds pretty clean for a tape recording.

Thought I'd upload this ahead of our old school special event on the 19th of April at Wire in Leeds, UK.  Looking forward to dusting off some timeless wax and playing a heap of classics through Funktion 1.  

I'll be playing a pretty deep one on the night from 10:30PM until 12AM and going back to around 93/1994 upwards.

Ant TC1 - studio mix from the archives (3 hours) - recorded 28th Oct 1997 (extracted from tape)

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.
