M-zine returns to Sofa Sound Bristol with a very special project - his debut album, 'Know When You're Ready'.

It's a milestone moment for an artist whose output has matured, marinated and developed for over a decade to a natural pinaccle.

M-zine represents everything we love at Sofa Sound and the album is layered with warm textures and organic tones to form a rich body of work with great depth that rewards both your patience and your sound system.

With influences rooted in dub, techno, funk and soul, M-zine embraces the lost art of simplicity and is focused on getting the most out of just 4 or 5 core elements so everything works together nicely in the mix.

Written mostly during covid; clubs were closed, but M-zine had his rig at home and used the isolation to craft his own little soundscape; something pure and introspective, nice and simple.

Its subtle, meditative and Sofa Sound through and through - a warm collection of tracks for you to appreciate.

Following the release of ‘The Rainmaker EP’ back in 2020 John Rolodex continued to hunker down in the studio, recognising that there was much more to come. Fast forward a couple of years and we’re delighted to welcome John back for a full vinyl EP, one that showcases his love of different styles in a deeply personal manner.
 
The ‘Formless EP’ consists of 5 tracks in its full digital glory, headed up by ‘Depth Of Field’ which draws from many influences and is an example of John’s ongoing study into drawing a groove out over time. With the title track up next the EP becomes suddenly very experimental and boundlessly creative, a piece of music that Goldie didn’t hesitate to jump on. The origins of ‘Tentacle’ go back to 2010, only recently revisited with John’s expanded skill set, whilst ‘Serve No Kings’ brings the renowned Jungle Drummer into the fold for a unique percussive work out. ‘Pagliacci Syndrome’ explores the idea of sadness that we feel compelled to hide, gracefully infused with drum and bass capping off an EP that we and John are very proud of.

Phil:osophy is the collaborative project from Philth and Phil Tangent. Both producers share a love for the kind of rich, emotional musicality that shines throughout this classy two-tracker.

Their own take on deep, rolling soul has led to releases on labels such as Integral Records, Future Retro and Lunar Records. Intricate drum work, clever sampling and warm bass from two producers with a true appreciation of the deeper side of drum and bass.

The reflective vocals of “Guarded” meet a melancholic atmosphere that develops into deep bass and rolling percussion. By contrast, the bright sounds of “Old Souls” makes for the perfect pairing. As one of the first tunes written together by this meeting of Phils, we’re proud to include this as part of their debut release for Dispatch Recordings.

Mister Shifter teams up with his close friend Fanu yet again, this time on Dispatch Dubplate. Two producers who share a profound love of sampling and manipulating fresh breakbeats, showcase what they do best on this 4-track release.

“Reverse Dawn” from Fanu sets the tone for this release, its otherworldly atmospheres are matched with precision drum work and tense, driving bass. This track was the initial spark that birthed this release. When the contrasting remix from Mister Shifter arrived it was clear they belonged on the same Dispatch Dubplate.

Mister Shifter takes Fanu’s “Reverse Dawn” into bold & contrasting new territory by adding high-powered breakbeats (some courtesy of Paradox and Mako), clever edits, and a floor-quaking bassline. Many of Fanu’s ethereal & moody elements remain intact, letting the remix proudly showcase the finest qualities of each producer.

Vinyl-exclusive “The Kingpin” pays homage to the famed Blue Note-era sound, while looking forward with a modern production techniques and aesthetics. This track pulls no punches, featuring a devastating mid-song change-up that rivals anything Mister Shifter has released to date. Fans of HBO’s “The Wire” will appreciate the dialogue samples from which the track draws its name. A staple in Mister Shifter’s DJ sets, “The Kingpin” has received support around the globe from the likes of Gremlinz, Double O, Mantra, Ant TC1, Andy Odysee, and Djinn.

Capping off the release is old-school rave banger “That Dreama Trak VIP”, taking things back to where it all started by lowering the BPM and elevating the vibes. Drawing inspiration from the likes of 2 Bad Mice and early 90’s Moving Shadow, Mister Shifter gives us a modern take on the hardcore breakbeat and rave music that helped shape his musical foundation. Pitched-down Amen & Think breaks, Mentasms, and vocal samples combine into an anthemic, hands-in-the-air floor-filler.

We welcome Method One to the Dispatch Recordings family, the next instalment of the Dispatch Blueprints series. This prolific producer has been writing and releasing music since the mid-90s and has been a huge part of the American d&b/jungle scene for over 30 years now. Perfectly fitting the Dispatch Blueprints ethos, these tracks are influenced heavily by his history, bringing those vibes up to date with modern d&b sensibility and production techniques.

The cinematic intro of “Skylines Fade Away” meets crisp progressive drum work with cinematic depth for a track inspired by transition, a sense of an uncertain future feeding into the pensive atmosphere.

“Clandestine” originally inspired by a string passage shared by friend and frequent collaborator Jamie Myerson, takes the listener on a journey, building and evolving through crisp percussion.

For select Dispatch releases, we’re cutting very limited runs of 10″ vinyl dubplates. Method One’s Dispatch Blueprints 009 is the first release to receive this special treatment. This first-ever run will be limited to 30 black vinyl dubplates. We hope to be able to offer future editions of this and other releases, each in limited, hand-numbered editions.

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.
