With each release, Stealth has slowly made his presence known within your musical subconscious. Taking hold of every synapse with drops of LFO induced devastation he’s now merged with the other figureheads of a dnb underworld to bring you his ‘Alliance EP’. And believe us when we say, this is one not to miss. 

Already firmly asserting himself amongst the Program roster, his meticulously crafted cuts have helped push the imprint as an underground tastemaker. And the unstoppable partnership is back, with a gritty and technically adept EP… Proving once again they’re a force to be reckoned with. 

As you'd expect, Stealth & Xtrah’s ‘Everytime’ is much different to its predecessors, although it’s just as precisely orchestrated. Pushed forward by domineering drum loops, Stealth’s style oozes in between each bar; it’s a frequency that drops dangerously low.  Wraith-like vocals dip in and out of the record’s stockier elements, with a juxtaposition which is tasteful whilst still making an impact. 

A host of alliances from one of Program’s finest Stealth unleashes another defiant slab of bass. It’s the lead up to his debut album, a step towards another phenomenal release from the artist.

There's been a storm making its way from Brazil through the Drum & Bass world that's been slowly but surely building devastating momentum, that storm is Jam Thieves.  

Jam Thieves are not your standard liquid rolling vibes you'd expect from Brazil, these guys have take the Brazilian mould to a whole new level. Yes there’s funk, in fact a lot of funk but it’s heavily mixed with raw grit and thundering sub lows. 

The Minimal Funk Project does exactly what it says on the tin, each track has hand selected minimal sounds for a clean listening experience with enough weight to crush any sound system.

Excited to release my first single in 2016. "She's On Top" drops July 20th on Flight Pattern Records. Thanks for all the support and if you're feelin' it, hit that ↻ Repost!

About This Release:
..Still forging a prolific path after nearly 20 years of dedication to the industry, Atlantic Connection breaks his radio silence in 2016 to release She’s On Top // Bluelines. Intrinsically AC, the EP begins with the smooth roller “She’s On Top.” Marked with soulful pianos, jazz horns, and laid back polyrhythms, “She’s On Top” captures a soul’s yearning while still making you groove. Up next is “Bluelines,” which depicts a sunny morning with it’s bright Rhodes keys that scatter over fitted bass lines and galloping congas. Perfectly soundtracking a sunrise, “Bluelines” brings heartfelt melodies with a bass-heavy ride.

Like the sun gleaming through a window pane, so shines the jazz-infused EP from Atlantic Connection, due out on July 20th via Flight Pattern Records.

Soul In Motion head honcho Need For Mirrors returns to V Recordings with a brand new EP, and as always the bar is raised high. Anyone who has listened to Need For Mirrors before will know that this is one producer you can rely on to bucks the trends and make music which is not only true to himself, but also the original Drum & Bass blueprint. The Wood & Water EP is certainly no exception! 

Whilst always giving a nod to the pioneers who have come before, Need For Mirrors has carved out his own space within D&B and made it uniquely his own. Combining dubbed out rollers, with harder edged tracks, and certainly no stranger to a big bassline, NFM guides the listener on a journey through his 4 track collection. Always experimenting, but always with one eye on the dancefloor.

Of course if you want to check out this producer and his music in his natural environment, pushing boundaries and making people move their feet, then a trip to London's Soul In Motion will make everything crystal clear.

In the past 5 years Need For Mirrors is a name that has positioned itself among the greats of modern Drum & Bass, whose relentless output of high-quality and original material has secured releases on the scene’s most prestigious labels including V Recordings, Metalheadz, Symmetry, Playaz, Spearhead, Hospital, Dispatch Recordings and more.

Twisting Nether (Forthcoming Citrus Recs)

The first Metalheadz release of 2017 comes courtesy of Phil Tangent and Pennygiles, and we're very excited to welcome them into the Metalheadz camp.

The two tracks are perfect for Headz Platinum as they fuse the rough with the smooth, something the sister label has become known for in the course of its history. We have deep basslines playing set against subtle rave stabs and break edits on the solo effort from Phil Tangent, whilst on the collab from Phil Tangent & Pennygiles things go deeper with the atmospheres and effects.

Phil Tangent - Bardarbunga

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.

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.
