In April, our monthly guest mix comes from a very underrated producer on the label – EBK. 

Since his first Dispatch release on Transit One ‘Mud’, a quality over quantity approach has seen him release some sublime pieces with us, including ‘Show Me’ alongside Octane & DLR and ‘Strength’ as part of the Transit Two compilation.  

With a new collaboration just released entitled 'The Author' with DLR (for his ‘Seeing Sounds’ album) and Gusto, watch out for further material coming soon!

EBK - Dispatch Recordings Label Mix, April 2015

Drum'n'bass DJ from Czech Republic
Lee Meow first got behind a pair of decks around 2002. At this time she began to collect records bought from London and became totally immersed in techno music. Since she didn’t have her own setup at that time, she focused solely on collecting. Then came a break in 2007 when she finally got her own equipment and was able to learn some proper skills. She began to play around clubs in Brno under the pseudonym FreeDo and eventually became a resident at local club Muzejka. In 2013 she switched her focus to drum and bass, which she was attracted to by its large selection of subgenres. You can most often hear her playing deep and liquid DnB sounds, but also harder styles such as neurofunk and crossbreed. With time she became a resident promoter at a club in Žďár, where she organised the DNB WARS night as well as warm-up events for her favourite festival Let It Roll. This club eventually started to build up a roster of DnB residents who together founded the Audiobrainz crew. Under this name they now organise their own events around the whole Czech Republic with exciting guests.

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.
