Blasha & Allatt are honorary Mancunian natives and co-founders and residents of the infamous Meat Free parties, of which are hailed as one of the wildest techno raves in the UK. The duo are revered in their local scene as much as they are championed by many of the artists and peers they have played alongside. With a symbiotic energy behind the decks whether at the helm at Manchester’s White Hotel, holding it down in Fabric or cruising into the early hours at Bret, Blasha and Allatt bring it every time.

Focusing on a hard-groove sound their sets are a relentless force that have blessed dancefloors at clubs such as FOLD, Berghain, Radion and festivals such as Freerotation, WHOLE and Dimensions to name a few. 

Never content to not push the boundaries of their music and of the scene, 2022  saw the launch of  Frixxxion - a new inclusive space for queer techno raving in the heart of Manchester’s underground that has been welcomed by locals and out-of-towners. 

More recently the duo acquired a residency for the esteemed Vault Sessions crew, so you'll no doubt be seeing these two around Europe a lot more in 2023.

With acclaimed releases already on Blue Hour and an upcoming release on Positive Source, expect to get even more familiar with the sound of Blasha and Allatt.

Awakenings Podcast S233 - Blasha & Allatt

Following the dub-laden Four Corners trip from Melinki last week, the 1 More Mix series remains label focused as the Overview Music founder steps up for the next chapter. 

Best known as Peter Piper, when he’s behind the decks he answers to the name Energy. Naturally he lives up to that title with his selection, flow, vibe and even a cheeky personalized intro.

Littered with crucial dubs and exclusives by all of the Overview collective - from Waeys to Wingz, Klinical to Koherent, Operate to Offline - the mix tells the story of the label and hints heavily at an exciting year to come. 

It’s a year Peter is feeling particularly inspired about. Find out why in this extensive interview over on the 1 More Thing website....

We’re gassed to welcome DSP back to the CIA controls with a brand new instalment of our Declassified Mix Series, marking the release of his powerful new Box of Frogs EP 🐸🔥

Fresh off the back of four razor-sharp cuts that showcase DSP’s stripped-back, high-quality approach to production, this mix dives deep into the sounds that inspire him, the flavours that fuel his creativity, and the kind of tunes that make him tick.

True to form, DSP keeps it low-key, letting the music speak for itself – but trust us, this one's talking loud and clear. 

🎧 Box of Frogs EP is out now via CIA Records – available on Bandcamp and all major platforms: 
https://higheq.lnk.to/CIAQS076

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.
