GEST(@gest_dnb) have been turning heads in drum & bass for their masterful hold of versatility – able to produce some of the most impactful dancefloor-orientated underground hitters whilst simultaneously skilled in writing smooth rollers dripped in soul. A rejuvenated name to match a rejuvenated sound, the duo previously known as Gerra & Stone have quickly commanded support from some of the biggest names in the scene from only a handful of releases, with DJ Marky, Doc Scott and BBC Radio 1’s Rene LaVice all ear-marking the pair’s productions for their tracklists. With 2021 set to be their most prolific year yet, GEST have forged their own melting pot of sounds - inspired by Detroit techno and acid house - that is swiftly winning favour and carving out their own path within drum & bass.

We are excited having them being a part of our headline this year and can’t wait to experience their incredible live vibes together with all of you during Membrain Festival 2021!

We welcome back the exceptional talents of dnb production duo Battery to Dispatch for the next edition of the Dispatch Limited series.

This release sees Battery demonstrate the best of the two very contrasting styles of drum & bass that they are known for - the aggressive growl of ‘Cells’ and the rolling, liquid sounds of ‘While We Play’ reminiscent of the musical output under their previous guise as Craggz and Parallel Forces.

‘Cells’ twists around an eerie Bladerunner vocal sample, layered with a progressive, ever building bassline – sampled and fed through vintage analogue gear to create that textural grit and snarl that drives the track onwards.

The infectious groove of ‘While We Play’ takes its lead from the funk heavy drums and looping vocal edits, a sound familiar to fans of their older style but with a much welcome Battery update.

'The Music is my Life LP' tells the story of 14 years of dedication to drum and bass production. Dunk's debut LP is the result of many months of non-stop work, living and breathing the music - for the first time feeling he was able to deliver his musical vision in full.

Originating from São Paulo, Brazil, Dunk is one-half of the world-renowned Jam Thieves. He may be a new name to some, but he is no stranger to producing heavy drum and bass flows which push any sound system to its limit.

Working with complete artistic freedom in partnership with the label, Dunk was able to deliver on his dream of releasing a full-length drum and bass album, encapsulating his love for the music and the many varied styles it represents.

The entire album was mastered by the legendary Teebee at Black Science Labs. Dunk was delighted to receive a call from the man himself offering his full support and congratulating him on the strength of his production. A testament indeed to the Brazilian's talents.

We are proud to present this spectacular debut LP - 'The Music is my Life', landing in all online stores this October.

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.
