Mountain Dew [J PLATES | JPFREE]

Soulvent poster boys Josh Croft and Bailey Greer released their debut record ‘Voyager’ in April 2020, their first foray into the realms of the long player. The album provided a welcome soundtrack to a definitively difficult year and featured the talents of Lucy Kitchen, Carasel MC, Walk:r, Mistrust, and the mighty Logistics. The record displayed their penchant for soothing soundscapes, futuristic flourishes and luscious layering, which permeate whichever subgenre they set out to conquer. Following in the heavy footsteps of Pola & Bryson, the two carved out their own Freshman record to be treasured on dancefloors, wax and headphones alike. ‘Voyager’ shows just how their sound traverses the depths of the scene and has received support from veteran artists like Ray Keith, Technimatic and Etherwood. The pair have picked some of their favourite tracks from the record to receive the remix treatment from a varied line up of musical talents, and so we proudly present the ‘Voyager: Alternate Routes’ EP. 

First up, new Soulvent exclusive signees Askel & Elere take on ‘Silver Lining (feat. Walk:r)’ resulting in a slick, moody twist on the original. Japanese futurist Mountain tackles ‘Scuba’ putting forward a rousing, driving and uplifting synth-soaked rehash in trademark Mountain style. Critically acclaimed Critical Music founder Kasra follows, delivering a murky, droning switch up of ‘Do You’ that is perfect for your nearest d&b party or picnic. New blood comes in the form of Cauzer’s hell-raising remix of ‘Embers (feat. Walk:r & Carasel)’. The Bristol resident turns her hand to this dancefloor destroyer that further showcases the talents of up and coming Walk:r and veteran MC Carasel with the result a fizzing, clunky foot tapper. 

OSO is both an Australian authority on garage and one half of In:Most, with his remix of ‘Home (feat. flowanastasia)’ providing a wonderfully 2-step take on the stand-out single. The uplifting soundscape and permeating positivity of its harmony provides a perfect second home for the Ukranian born vocalist’s love song. Rounding out the release, avid synthwave producer Voyage, FKA as Nexus & Tight, takes us on a journey with his interpretation of ‘Fever Dreams (feat. Mistrust)’ providing one of two variations on a theme on a multi-genre EP. This futuristic rendition provides a thumpingly enjoyable rework of the original sure to leave your head nodding. 

The ‘Alternate Routes’ 6-track diversion does more than just d&b, it provides a warmly greeted reminder of the joy its predecessor offered in such unprecedented times. Available in all good stores from the 30th of April 2021, we invite you to buckle up and ensure you’re sitting comfortably for this delightful detour.

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.

For our first tape, the Icon of Sin presents to you 8 post-industrial society techno-electro tracks perfect for the Neo-Feudalist workhouse!

Undoubtably our bleakest release yet, they’ll really get you going (to work past a reasonable retirement age) in their grim and grey grooves, baby!

Futuristic and technologically led past the point of return, drowning in a muddy ancient river; the album conjures a world of firing pistons, frightened people and automated production lines.
The downtempo doomsday soundscapes are at once Detroit Electro, London Hardcore, Norwegian Black Metal and (dare I say it) Berlin Techno.

Here's a blurb from the icon himself:

“I wrote this album over a short period of time (about one week) in 2021. At the time I was living in Hackney central, in a relatively small and cold flat next to the loud Mare Street. I was going through a particularly dark and hopeless period of time due to isolation and post lockdown depression.
The windows of the flat were paper thin, vibrating loudly, too often. I had a lots of sleepless nights, which resulted in this record. I worked in a bottling line at the time, the industrial and repetitive, almost dehumanising environment definitely influenced this album.

The music was written fully on my Octatrack (apart for the track “Benders” which was performed with my modular rack). Everything has been recorded in one take as it comes out from the machine, with minimal mixing and mastering and no post production.
The sonic palette features a couple eurorack modules, sampling from Italian television and whatnot; but most importantly a lot of field recording of machineries I found in the factory I was working at, as well as random captures of environments around me - including Hackney’s busy streets - all mangled and arranged in the Octatrack.

Enjoy!” - Matteo, 2024

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.
