We begin the start of a new series at Dispatch Recordings, with the first instalment of the ‘History Remastered’ project. Covering the very early days of the label, from 2001-2003, we have remastered the work of original label founder Nos – one half of the Hidden Agenda duo, the other half, of course, being Max Fresh. Some of this material now made available digitally for the first time ever.

Dispatch Recordings was started by the Hidden Agenda brothers in 2001, with the first release being DIS004. Dispatch 1-3 were Hidden Agenda releases on Goldie’s seminal Metalheadz label, so Hidden Agenda continued the series via their own label Dispatch Recordings. Twenty years later, the time seemed perfect to revisit the label’s history and give a selection of the best tunes from the formative years a brand new remaster.

Nos continues the Hidden Agenda project via his own productions, following his brother Max Fresh’s untimely passing in 2016. Label owner and manager Ant TC1 has curated a selection of their very best work, the musical founding blocks of Dispatch given a timely, contemporary makeover. Lovingly remastered by the collective talents of all involved at Black Science Labs Mastering, Labmaster Mastering and AT Mastering.

01. “Quiet Days [Remastered]” – Hidden Agenda (Max Fresh)

The exemplary talents of Ben Soundscape are up next on Dispatch Recordings, with the 'Desert Swim' EP contributing 4 incredible cuts to their ever-growing back catalogue. 'My Business' leads the charge in a flurry of crisp breaks and beautifully-worked atmospherics, in many ways the perfect balance of dingy, heads-down swampage and teased, juxtaposed light - yet more gold from the Intrigue bossman.

Written during the last 12 months of lockdown, Most Violent Year is the debut album of Canadian producer NC-17. It’s our honour to bring you this incredible body of work from one of dnb’s most exciting talents.

Known by many for his usual style of upfront, high energy, dynamic productions, often influenced by his love of film – particularly grindhouse horror and classic film/exploitation cinema.

Setting out to take the listener on a more profound, darker journey through these influences, Most Violent Year sees NC-17 demonstrate his versatility as a producer. Guiding the listener through a range of styles that might take some by surprise as he makes the very most of the long-player format.

Whilst taking particular influence from the 60s/70s horror classics Rosemary’s Baby, Exorcist and The Omen, NC-17 pays homage to the sound of late 90s tech-step dnb. Featuring collaborations with Kumarachi, Dunk, Dauntless, Yatuza and Masheen, this 13 track monster is lurking in the shadows, ready to take you to the dark side.

Like all good horror movies, more dread is creeping not far behind. Watch this space for the sequel…

M-zine is back on Dispatch Recordings with the ‘Umbra EP’, a four-track release that sees this talented producer continue to reinvigorate and explore the classic era influences that make up his musical outlook.

For the title track ‘Umbra’, he focused on old school chopping techniques to breathe new life into the classic ‘Apache’ break, pairing with deep pads and bass stabs to give this nostalgic jungle infusion irresistible dynamic appeal.

Leaning on his love of techno-infused breakbeats, ‘Devise’ is pure dancefloor fun – epic horns, a driving bassline and those spacey atmospherics that keep the energy just right.

The growling bass synth of ‘Permeate’ drives this minimal stepper through a myriad of twists and sonic turns that layer new depths on every progressive bar.

‘Loon’ leads with an acid-soaked synth line that bubbles away into staccato drums, further exploring those techno influences and completing the EP with the kind of experimental rhythms M-zine fans will love.

A welcome return to the label, this is M-zine at his best.

DJ HR - The Greater Good-snippet

illstprjct, another persona of Edward Padge, delivers a forward-thinking remix of “Stereo Architecture” that blends Drum and Bass with Club Dance grooves. The track builds momentum and energy, culminating in a second drop that dives into a banging neurofunk explosion — a high-octane fusion designed to move crowds and push boundaries.

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.
