Dispatch Dubplate continues its long-awaited return with the second of six new releases, brought to you by Quartz. Championing the best in unreleased music and prominent dubs from within the dnb scene, Dispatch Dubplate 19 is no exception.

Forming the centrepiece of this release is the track “Brass Knuckles” with the instrumental edit taking that special place of vinyl exclusive – never to be sold digitally.

Immediately impressed by this heavily percussive and bongo-led track, Ant TC1 built an instant love for the tune. With an early test version getting impressive crowd reactions in his sets and then seeing it get the same kind of response in Mantra’s Keep Hush stream in 2018, he knew “Brass Knuckles” would make for the perfect Dispatch Dubplate release. Reworked in 2022, we’re hyped to finally get this one out there.

Alongside the vocal edit featuring Patwan’s impressive and distinctive vocals, Quartz flexes his tech roots for another four standout tracks that each pack a special punch. Full of funk and dynamic impact, expect to hear these on heavy rotation.

Available in limited edition heavyweight 12″ vinyl including a vinyl exclusive track.

Brass Knuckles (feat. Patwan)

This is a really funny belgian jumpup tune ;)

Dumb Jump

“Finite” by Nu; ex nihilo drags the past into the dark. Twisting fragments of old, haunting recordings through a shadowy lens of drum and bass, the track pulses like a séance gone digital. Eerie voices echo through the low-end fog, colliding with sharp, relentless rhythms that make the dead dance. A reimagining of the forgotten — “Finite” is both ghost story and bass ritual, a reminder that nothing truly ends… it just distorts.

Original Critical crew Enei finishes up 2019 with the 4/4 kick drum thumps of the ‘Sinking EP’.

With recent features on the likes of Program, Overview & Chronic, and his last single ‘The Fall’ with Bladerunner being premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, he has quickly established himself as one of the UK’s most promising talents.  We’re very excited to welcome him to Skankandbass Introducing on ‘What Lies Ahead / Relapse’, where he demonstrates the versatility of his ever-developing sound.

Nectax - Relapse

After a background in traditional piano training and progression onto the electronic organ during childhood, I got my first 16-bit computer aged 13 in the form of the Commodore Amiga 500.
Somebody gave me copies of Soundtracker software and the ST range of sample disks, and along with my best friend, we began making our own tunes. Then along came MED Sound Studio and we started really getting to grips with producing using just the Amiga and simple keyboards.

As our output grew and the next few years unfurled, so we created first Q-P-I Music (Quadrosonix Productions Inc), 'Headlong Recordings', and finally 'Unborn Records', all basically label names for our growing output of experimental, late 80's/early 90's rave-influenced tunes. I became CJ Shadow, making hardcore, techno and jungle style tracks, while CJ Trinity made remixes of more commercial sounding tunes like that of The Prodigy and laid-back house/techno stuff, and developed a more general electronica-like, ambient, trance-style sound.

By the time we left school in 1992, aged 16, we had produced well over twenty C90 cassette albums of material. The next year or so saw investment in our kit as we upgraded to Amiga 1200 computers, better synths, and for the first time the introduction of simple mixers and decent monitor speakers. The quantity of our output certainly reduced, but the quality significantly increased.

Though our paths in life diverged significantly at aged 17, we continued to produce an evolving sound, improving and honing our individual styles and incorporating our personal influences as jobs and money allowed investment in better software and hardware. By the time the internet was a thing and even before ADSL (broadband) I was releasing the best of our music on unsigned music websites like MP3.com. Uploading several hours of music on a dial-up connection, now that was fun :)

By the turn of the millenium we had our own website, unbornrecords.net, and ran it as our label and home online to promote our music. CJ Trinity's material was by now very much in the house/trance and dance remix genres, whilst mine was definitively a breakbeat-driven, jungle and drum&amp;bass sound, reflecting the scene I was busy raving in every weekend, and immersed in fanatically. We sold a few CD albums, got quite a lot of downloads and generally enjoyed what we did, but life got in the way of it ever becoming more than a hobby.

Though our music continued to increase in quality and get some serious attention from a few people in the right places, sadly by 2005 we both had so much going on in our separate lives and so little time for music production that the website fizzled out, and along with the demise of several of the unsigned artist sites we had our material on, our music basically fell off the edge of a cliff. CJ Trinity's unfinished but astonishingly good final album, 'Atmospheric Hi Trip', really showed how far and complete his particular dance sound had come. My last CJ Shadow album, entitled 'Kitchen For No Reason', was completed that year and actually reflects how complete and professional my DnB-based sound was becoming. Even today, everyone who hears it seems to agree that it truly is a crying shame that I never continued making music.

Since 2005 I remain infatuated with the Drum & Bass scene, keeping up with the massive online output and trends, going out whenever possible to the dances and just loving everything I'm hearing and seeing. Recent months have seen me going through the old hard drives, listening to our old music, and a dawning realisation that I cannot allow this part of my life to die. And having now stumbled on a folder of projects and work from 2005 that basically constitutes what would have been my next album, I have decided to plug myself back into production.

2025 sees the 20th anniversary of the release of Kitchen For No Reason. I can confirm that a new LP is on its way, produced under my new Ignomius Darka moniker.

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.
