Release Date	- 20/04/2015

As an artist we have held in high regard at Dispatch since the label’s inception, it comes with great pleasure to introduce our first release with the legendary Digital. 

Shaping his unique sound for over 15 years (still heavily cited by a core of forward thinking producers today), Digital is continuously developing his original strain of dub influenced d&b and this release demonstrates a manipulation of his roots into a modern twist. Ingrained with an authentic old skool feel that has remaining entrenched in the Digital sound we love today, each track on this release has been constructed and layered carefully, to ensure all the initial emotions and vibe are firmly translated and expressed in the final product. 

Despite their distinct differences, this soul and attention to detail remains consistent throughout. Starting with the distinctive strings in ‘Red Alert’, the track maintains a very haunting, yet emotive feel, all balanced atop a skipping drum pattern of dub-echoed snares and a subtle bassline. 

Following on from the lead track, ’A Message’ continues the dark and brooding themes, as the master of half time delivers a thick spread of heavyweight pressure. Marching into the shadowy depths with intrepid force, the villain prevails in this scene, as the low ends take full control beyond the drop.

Concluding on a retrospective tip is ‘Maintain’, written alongside Audio Habitat and Mad Vibes. Directed by majestic piano chords, it’s a fantastic blend of percussive and musical elements, equipped with smartly chopped amen cuts and abridged bass throbs teasing throughout, all coinciding to create a true uplifting rave style stepper.

S hraním začal zhruba v roku 2002 a hrával prevažne techno. BPM mu však nestačilo, takže momentálne hráva  drum and bass v ktorom nachádza viac energie.V hrani viac uprednostňuje odnože ako jump up, techstep alebo neurofunk. Časom prichádza na chuť aj digitálnemu dj-ingu kde nachadza vätšie spektrum možnosti štýlov. Na prelome rokov 11/12 sa dava dokopy so Žilinskou crew organizujúcu už známu akciu Crank Time.
Jeho sety sú niekedy trošku temnejšie a agresívnejšie ale hlavne originálne, melodické a pestré.
Popri hraniu sa tiež venuje aj promotérstvu a tak ho môžme vidiet za akciami ako boli Čadcatech, Drumrevolution či CA city clubbing a ďalšie.
Prešiel si už mnohími klubmi, akciami (Technoextasy, Beefree, Beskyd Summer, Drumrevolution, DrumWars atd.) a zahral aj s djs svetových mien ako napriklad sú Zeus, Nick Grater, Inigo Kennedy, Agent, Jerry, Nika77, Boss, Schimek, Toky, C.phone(nomoney), Philip TBC,  IM Cyber, Ibogain (morebeat), Chris SU, Axiom či Exorcist a mnoho ďalších zvučných mien.

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.
