Presenting a brand new project from MC Fokus and Medic MC - X Bar Theory. 

With this new collaborative alias, Fokus & Medic have set out to create a brand new act. Forming a new group, with a complete unit of DJs and properly crafted sets aiming to preserve the artform of the MC -respecting the culture with a passion for putting lyricism at the forefront of the music. They’re looking to bring a different vibe when they are on stage with unique flows and combinations, a club set fused with a 'live PA' vibe. 

This Studio Mix represents the first step in the journey, expertly mixed by Ant TC1, with vocals from this exciting new duo. 
 
Both heavily influenced by UK MC-culture across the genres - sound system, jungle, DnB, grime, hip hop, rap. We’ll be releasing the first single from X Bar Theory on the 10th June via Beatport Exclusive and our own website/Bandcamp – the general release date is the 24th June.

Throughout the exciting timeline of Drum & Bass, Brazil has provided us with bonafide legends such as Marky, Patife and Alibi, but the guy causing the biggest rukus over the past few years is undoubtedly the creator of our latest Minirig Mixtape - L-Side.  

This exclusive producer to V-Recordings shelled 2020 with some huge tunes - Zaga Dan and Steppa Dub in particular receiving a lot of attention - and he's currently sitting on a wealth of new material. 

Check out this exclusive Minirig Mixtape from L-Side.

Philth went live in the mix exclusively for Dispatch Recordings (to a great response) on the evening of 07/02/2021 via our FB channel, the 1 hour & 45 minute set features music from the ‘Full Moon EP’ and plenty of heaters.

The 'Full Moon EP' is available now via:
• Dispatch Store - http://bit.ly/DIS162W
• Bandcamp - http://bit.ly/DIS162BC
• All other stores - https://fanlink.to/DIS162

‘The Full Moon EP’ sees Philth & Wreckless join forces for a project created during two sessions at Philth’s studio. With their solo work making up some of our favourite tracks on the label, this combination of artists makes the EP quite special. 

Sharing a love of classic breakbeats and 1999 tech rollers, they made a conscious decision not to over-polish the mixes - keeping the raw edge to the drums and dirty bass textures. Aiming to bring back the rough feel of their favourite older tunes, with arrangements that roll out for the DJ's. 

During these sessions Wreckless noticed that it was a ‘Full Moon’, just as the title track was taking shape - a drum led track that grows and develops throughout, balancing layers of subtle additions to the driving weight of the tune.   

These concepts are reflected in the artwork, with the 'tech moon' representing the meeting of rugged natural sounds and modern technology.

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.
