We’re pleased to welcome back the extremely talented Need For Mirrors duo back to the Dispatch camp.  

Here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting Funk-led “Sling Blade” and backing up the A side we have a heavy slice of Bristol themed flavour for 2013 with “Grapefruit” (plus an additional extended digital-only version).  Both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90’s sounds we always loved (but never left!).

Need For Mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the NFM duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.  

Thanks for listening.

Aaron Payne - Hurting

A transatlantic collision of raw energy and underground finesse: Dispatch is proud to bring you a bold two-tracker from drum & bass powers Philth (UK) and Jamal (US). Two heavyweight names deliver a double-A release that fuses UK grit with US swagger. Representing the best of their respective scenes, this release bridges continents through raw energy and technical finesse.

Opening with ominous atmospherics and rising tension, 'One Fi One' quickly escalates and delivers maximum impact - crisp hats, subs that rumble deep, and tension built around shifting synth stabs. The track dissolves into an expansive moment of calm, drifting through a vast, celestial soundscape before the next impact. 

'Star Killa' brings a darker palette, with tough, jagged breaks and a punishing bassline that draws you in; a looming bass melody lurks in the shadows. This track is designed to cut through late-night sets - sparse but lethal, attention to detail embedded in every break.

Veteran drum & bass artist Calyx continues his winning streak for Critical Music with two more masterfully rendered pieces of sonic art.

The clue is in the name on ‘Repercussion’, as the legendary producer keeps things relatively low-key with a frenetic, percussive drum workout that bustles with congas and intricate rhythms.

‘Forever’ takes a heavier, more experimental path; with a slicing, hypnotic kick-snare beat locking Calyx’s trademark twisted mid-bass and foreboding atmospherics into an irresistible groove.

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.
