Dispatch Dubplate makes its long-awaited return with the first of six new releases, brought to you by Mako – including a collab with Ben Soundscape.

Setting out to champion the best in unreleased music and those tunes which have been long cherished dubs by prominent figures within the dnb community, Dispatch Dubplate returns after an almost two-year break with this special release from Mako.

Heading up the release is “The Man”, a tune that Ant TC1 has been playing for years and could never put down. One that prompted constant ID requests from DJs and ravers alike, this tune fully represents the Dispatch Dubplate ethos due to the mystery and hype surrounding the track. Originally made as an experiment, with Mako wanting to focus on crusty-sounding production with no mid-bass or prominent fog horns – it’s a back-to-basic track that celebrates the raw energy of drum and bass. After much email wrangling and WhatsApp-based arm-twisting, we’re pleased to finally get this stand-out track out there.

The Dispatch Dubplate series makes vinyl the focus, and each release features an exclusive track that will never be sold digitally. “Mission Critical” champions our favourite format on this release with a loop-based roller dreamt up on a hazy, stoned day. Originally forgotten about by Mako himself, this one was championed by Mikal (and Ant of course) and has now found its way out there thanks to Mik’s love and appreciation.

Completing the release is a collab with Ben Soundscape, Mako’s personal favourite of the three. Utilising some drums from another tune called “Tell Me Something” released by Mako on Metalheadz, the pair set out to make something new. Originally signed by the late, great, Marcus Intalex for Soul:R it was eventually swapped out for a different tune of Mako’s – this makes it another perfect fit for Dispatch Dubplate, given the love and following it created during live sets but never saw the light of day (until now).

A welcome return to this fabled series, watch this space for more.

Available in limited edition heavyweight 12″ vinyl including a vinyl exclusive track.

Dispatch Dubplate continues its long-awaited return with the second of six new releases, brought to you by Quartz. Championing the best in unreleased music and prominent dubs from within the dnb scene, Dispatch Dubplate 19 is no exception.

Forming the centrepiece of this release is the track “Brass Knuckles” with the instrumental edit taking that special place of vinyl exclusive – never to be sold digitally.

Immediately impressed by this heavily percussive and bongo-led track, Ant TC1 built an instant love for the tune. With an early test version getting impressive crowd reactions in his sets and then seeing it get the same kind of response in Mantra’s Keep Hush stream in 2018, he knew “Brass Knuckles” would make for the perfect Dispatch Dubplate release. Reworked in 2022, we’re hyped to finally get this one out there.

Alongside the vocal edit featuring Patwan’s impressive and distinctive vocals, Quartz flexes his tech roots for another four standout tracks that each pack a special punch. Full of funk and dynamic impact, expect to hear these on heavy rotation.

Available in limited edition heavyweight 12″ vinyl including a vinyl exclusive track.

Dispatch Recordings is proud to present “Short Cuts”, an album project created by two long-term friends and favourites of the label. With numerous solo releases and their previous collaboration on the “Most Violent Year” album series, NC-17 and Dauntless will be well known to fans of Dispatch. When we were approached with new collaborative material, the “Short Cuts” project was born.

Drawing on 2000s-era DnB influences, they set out to create something tech-influenced whilst maintaining musicality and that much-needed funk. The pair found a unique creative flow that allowed their styles to gel and enhance each other’s productions.

Dauntless and NC-17 channelled the energy of those early days into an energetic and future-thinking album, citing many legends of that prolific era of drum and bass as influences. Benefitting from a modern approach to mixdown and structure, the resulting album is a varied and multi-layered representation of their shared artistic vision.

Arctic Lake - Heal Me (SpectraSoul Remix)

Pre-order the compilation at HospitalRecords.lnk.to/WeAre21so

When you turn 21 the world is your oyster. You can vote, drink, gamble… and fly your own hot air balloon across London? Oh wait, that was last year.

Fresh from our first ever festival and 300th release, we’re catapulting headfirst into another exciting decade and to kick-start the label’s 21st birthday celebrations the Hospital Records family bring a superior 68-track soundtrack ‘We Are 21’.

Compilations don't get much bigger than this; across two high energy mixes we’ve brought in sterling submissions from our ever-growing roster of talent, strong highlights from the last twelve months and most importantly shiny diamond cuts to look out for in 2017. Find 20 brand new tracks from key players such as S.P.Y, Logistics and Anile, and an exclusive Metrik and Fred V & Grafix collaboration. They took time out of their busy DJing schedules to join forces on ‘Tension', encapsulating their love for euphoric dancefloor smashers.

This outstanding double disc billows at the brim with iconic D+B producers such as Noisia, Spectrasoul, Break and High Contrast as well as showcasing music from some of our most exciting new talents, including Urbandawn, Hugh Hardie, and Med School’s Whiney. Looking further afield from the Hospital camp we also bring exclusive tracks from producers such as Serum, Milkway, T>I and Lakeway who are prime examples of how the genre continues to push boundaries and excite our ears.

Our boundless network of family and friends also pitch in with remixes and collaborative input from the likes of Dimension, Alix Perez and Ninja Tunes' Machinedrum. With our eyes looking to the future we’ve sought the sound of things to come in the shape of Kimyan Law, GLXY and Polaris.

68 tracks. 24 brand new exclusives. 2 mixed CD's by our very own sonic surgeon, Nu:Tone.

We stand proud and look firmly to the future with 'We Are 21', marking how far we've come as a label at a time where the genre is more exciting than ever.

As you probably know by now, we’re keen on promoting both bigger and smaller names alike. And our latest digital release, 19th in the catalogue (time flies, doesn’t it?), is themed with some new blood. The recent addition to our digital portfolio comes from a young producer duo from Ukraine – Pluton & Skyer. They have been making music for some time now (releasing, among others, on Cymbalism Recordings, Hospital Records, Influenza Media, Viper Recordings, Kos.Mos.Music), and familiar with their talent, we’re honoured to have them release their newest EP entitled “Lead Me On” via our label. The four-track compilation is an exciting mixture of a few different shades of drum & bass, ranging from the deeper, more subtle and atmospheric, vocal-infused “Lead Me On” (feat. Grimm), through the rolling and broken-beated “Screen Out Of Nowhere” or the upbeat, synth-laden “Run Free” (with an excellent vocal contribution by the legendary Dynamite MC), ending with the dancefloor-oriented, powerful “Automatic Forms” characterized by rich percussion sounds and an overwhelming bassline. We’re sure that this EP is something to please both those who’re after something sharper and those looking for something rather gentler. Top quality stuff, delivered in the form of a captivating cross-sectional four-tracker.

Submatik - Silent Stranger (feat. Charli Brix)

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.
