New & hot: Drum & Bass

Firmly planted into the foundations of the Shogun Audio family, GEST return to the label with their second single of 2022: https://GEST.lnk.to/ReverenceSD 

Entitled ‘Reverence’, this latest track draws heavy influence from the late and great Marcus Intalex, showcasing the rejuvenated heavy rolling sound that the duo has become synonymous with in recent years.

Defined by crisp, rolling drums, ambient synth work, and an underlying aura of luxuriant atmosphere, the melodic, almost soothing melody intertwined with ‘Reverence’ clearly draws from the inspiration of Marcus Intalex’s sound and GEST’s admiration of the early Detroit techno sound.

Announcing his official signing to Shogun Audio in typical Duskee fashion, the London-based lyrical wizard teams up with Sustance for an outrageous vocal affair that showcases exactly why the MC has found a permanent home for himself on the label: https://Duskee.lnk.to/ScumSD

Having emerged as one of the most exciting new-gen MCs on the drum and bass circuit, 'Scum' sees Duskee lay down some seriously expert levels of lyricism on one of Sustance's murkiest productions to date. Free-flowing and packed with ridiculous rhymes, Duskee's abundant talent looks set to take him to the very top of the drum and bass scene.

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.

BURR OAK mark a monolithic moment in their sonic journey with the release of their debut album, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which stands as the crown jewel of the two member’s careers as solo artists and as a duo alike. Packed with a mammoth 18 tracks that span the full breadth of the Neurofunk genre, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG sees BURR OAK deliver a definitive work set to cement itself well within the history of the genre.

BURR OAK’s own story is mirrored in the stories of their twin cowboy personas, Scruggs and Sonny Jim, whose escapades are expressed throughout the album’s tracklist and the tales that accompany it. Much like these two inseparable wanderers, BURR OAK’s two members, Niko and Julien, began their careers as solo artists before joining together to embark on their shared quest as BURR OAK. Longtime fans of Neurofunk will recognize each by their many other monikers. Niko has produced and performed variously as a member of the French Drum & Bass trio Signs, as half of the duo Cecil Hotel, and under his solo alias Opsen throughout his long career devoted to the pursuit of Drum & Bass’ most technical edge. By contrast, Julien’s journey under his solo alias The Clamps has seen him champion both cinematic soundscapes and the genre’s most extreme fringes, merging beauty and brutality within his music in equal measure. 
If this wasn’t a colorful palette of a career enough, they are also running another project with the also Toulouse based SKS – “Forum” which is also a heavyweight drum and bass project with a jungle/rave/oldschool twist. And to add a cherry on the top Julien runs Third Colony with Yan, an extravagant IDM/downtempo project.

As BURR OAK, these two prolific artists intertwine their sounds in an inexorable musical lattice, presenting a unified sonic profile that is more than the sum of its parts. This stylistic synergy thrives amidst SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which details the story of BURR OAK both in fiction and as the producers they are today. The album’s title speaks to this, not only for the duo’s cowboy characters but for Niko & Julien as well. Beneath the branches of the BURR OAK, these titans of Neurofunk have truly found somewhere they belong.

Made travelling around different countries on a European tour, each track on this release was made in a different studio.

Brain & Novaglitch - Delayed [Premiere]

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.
