Part 2-2016 Drum & Bass Tracks

Drum and bass

"Task Horizon have a Flame Fetish on the next cut, a booming, tribal affair which brings to mind the mid-90s sound, albeit with a mid-2010s feel to it. The track slides along, coursing its way into your bloodstream, never letting go or letting up. True future music for those that love their d&b in totality. "

Hysteria combines a sinister attitude with darkside sound effects, evil bass tones and horrifically brutal rhythm tracks.

Eatbrain follow up Billain’s incredible ‘Colonize’ EP with the fresh new introduction to the wider Neurofunk landscape of Russian production trio GYDRA.Withpowerful and raw production on the dark side of Tech, this multi-headed force smash their way into Eatbrain in relentless style with their ‘Cyborg’ EP. Formed in 2014, and composed of individual producers Mizo, Menfort and Bes, they’ve been dominating the Russian DnB scene with their legendary Neuropunk events and podcasts. Their militant aesthetic and innate feel for eyeball shaking funk proves once again Eatbrain’s skillful ability in picking the strongest of emerging artists, able to hold their own alongside their roster of seasoned pioneers.

Layered paranoid pads lure listeners into PSYCHO’s huge half-step intro, with MC Coppa’s deadly serious vocals punctuating the darkness and keeping the vibe on edge. Massive rolling beats are backed with an edgy plucked synth that really drives the heavy discomfort.

TIME KEEPER’s deceptively liquid opening soon spills away into bleakness, with verdant and light pads scattering into darkness; as the lushness evaporates in place of a descent into deep dystopia. The drop is both bouncy and heavy, punctuated with bursts of funk breaks and brass stabs – an awesome balance of dirty and playful.

We begin at the dawn of time, before the formation of stars and celestial bodies, before all matter existed as an intensely hot homogeneous soup. Starting at the point from which the initial singularity erupted, setting the path of the Universe as we know it and in the process forging a twin universe to our own. A parallel mirror universe to which this leading neurofunk label have ripped open a portal…
EATBRAIN are very proud to present the MIRROR UNIVERSE LPs – plucked from the very fabric and citizens of the twin reality and ours. Maintaining the portal between universes continuously over the past year, a significant amount of audio material has made it across the divide. With producers and their mirror twins in both universes working to deliver a stunning array of tracks and constructing LP’s of unprecedented scope.

The title "Opening EP" is only logical as this debute release is connected to the festival itself. Acommpanied by two Rido's scenic tracks the music masterminds Rido & Counterstrike have prepared the title track "Let It Roll" for the opening show of Let It Roll Open Air 2015 and raised a hype and hunger for the tune to be heard and released. And so the inevitable happens - Let It Roll Recordings emerges among this massive release.

Out Now on Beatport Exclusively http://bit.ly/TheTruthOutLawRenegade
iTunes: 18th December 

When Technique Recordings bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith come with a fresh release, they've got some big expectations to fulfil. True heads will know that their roots were firmly planted back in the old skool of nineties rave culture. And, this millennium, they've built and sustained a reputation as architects of the big room style that's seen drum and bass explode in popularity. So, how are they going to live up to that this time?

Well, “The Truth” promises great things from the outset. A panoramic landscape is laid out before us, with dunes of unforgiving percussive sounds overcast by clouds of minor key tonalities and dark-child dialogue. It's the quiet before the riot, punctured by an alarm call signal flare which sparks things into life. Then the drop delivers a straight-up punch-up between bass and treble, as call and response patterns merge and collide to create an unrelenting groove. This is the EDM paradigm delivered with a junglist mentality and rarely-seen layers of subtlety to satisfy the listener as well as the raver.

“Outlaw Renegade” teleports us straight to the wild west on some distant technologically-advanced planet. The intro lays out a scene of the deserted main street where building percussion and feedback sweeps are the harbingers of the gangsta vibes about to ride through. The drop is constructed around road-hard drums, which provide a rock-solid foundation for the bassline to go to work. And that low-end drives through with sub-shattering force, creating a wave to overdose even the most hardcore bass-addict.

We all know that Drumsound & Bassline Smith deliver nothing but big tunes. The two tracks on this release serve as a reminder that underpinning that floor-filling, rave-filling, arena-filing reputation, are some seriously impressive musical and technical skills. These pieces are cinematic in ambition and attention to detail and that means they're going to be drawn for time and time again by knowledgable DJs across the globe.

Tracklisting:

 1.	The Truth
 2.	Outlaw Renegade

What started as a very cheeky Bootleg of INCREDIBLE by M-BEAT & GENERAL LEVY, has now been listed as an official remix by Renk Records on streaming sites so I am proud to put my name against not only a Jungle classic, but also a straight up 90's UK Dance anthem.

Fluctuation in the external world - a ripple across the fabric of space and time - disruption at a granular level of reality that spreads deep through the senses. Internal connections pulse with electrical activity, opening new pathways and unfurling their tendril-thread map of the universe reflected within. Awareness glides like heavy silk across the mind's deep furrows, the conscious eye compiling fresh sonic prophecies pulled from the farthest reaches of the realms of altered perception. Past melts into the present, erupting into the fragile flame of consciousness, cognition reaching with darkly glimmering arms into the tidal seas of a future wrapped in the deepest of bass frequencies.

HYPOXIA once again emerge from the twisted depths of the EATBRAIN fold to deliver the COGNITION EP. Following up their much-revered ANOVA EP, released on the label in 2015 and garnering widespread praise for their intensely engineered and heavy production aesthetic; the Belgian duo hit hard and true - cementing themselves as part of the Eatbrain family. Featuring 4 tracks of precise neurofunk of the utmost quality that ravers have come to expect from Hypoxia as well as the label, this is an EP that will most certainly be controlling the dance and embedding itself in frenetic dancers' consciousness for months to come.

Beta 2 has consistently been making amazing music for a very long time and has come through the doors of Headz HQ with some gems, now it’s time for him to give us a full EP of his own work. 
As expected the aesthetic is varied and all tracks stand up against one another. We look forward to more from Beta 2 on the label.

For our final release of 2016, we are proud to have reached our milestone 100th Dispatch release, marking the occasion with a Various Artists’ compilation featuring some of our favourite producers from the past and present.

Celebrating some of the artists that have moulded the label today, whilst simultaneously showcasing upcoming talent, the album is split into two parts – the ‘Future Blueprint’; including original / newly remixed music from the likes of DLR, Skeptical, Gerra, Stone & Cern and the ‘Past Blueprint’; a selection of our best loved cuts from over the years, with numerous showings from Survival, Break and Zero T, plus classics from A.I., Marcus Intalex and Duo Infernale.

Reflecting on how the label and artists have developed together in time, further names appear on both Parts 1 & 2, including Script (on ‘Sahara’ with Survival and also the classic ‘Set Up The Set’) and label boss Ant TC1, alongside Chris SU and Stress Level first for ‘Waves’ and now, remixing Nymfo’s ‘Coming Through’ with Seattle duo Quadrant & Iris.

With special thanks to all the fans, press and DJs that have supported us over the years, we are thrilled to have made it to a century of releases; with so much good music around today, we look forward to sharing our plans for 2017 and on.

Nymfo - Coming Through (Quadrant, Ant TC1 & Iris Remix)- Dispatch 100 [part 1] (CLIP) - OUT NOW

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.
