After launching to great acclaim, The North Quarter returns for chapter two of its journey: Lenzman's 'Earth Tones EP'.

Consisting of eight new tracks (plus an additional two instrumentals), and featuring a host of collaborators, both old and new, the release carries directly on from the 'All For You EP'. Lenzman once again melds his Hip Hop, Soul and Jazz influences with his take on Drum & Bass to bring together an EP of heartfelt inner city music.

'In My Mind' sees the producer team up with IAMDDB, a Neo Soul singer who is part of a new wave of exciting upcoming artists from Manchester. Her unique voice and disconnection from Drum & Bass gives the two a chance to forge a new direction.

'Earth Tones' sees further collaborations with well-established vocalist Steo on 'Tender Love', and with Metalheadz veteran Jubei on 'Park Hill'. San Franciscan resident and long time collaborator Submorphics joins for 'Bayview', which all come together to give the whole package a beautifully rounded, truly open worldview.

Hoofbeats Music joined forces with the slovakian one and only 
force to be truly reckoned with - just twenty-two-year-old 
Piešťany native Changing Faces! Ema became a part of the HB 
Music crew last year and this is her first release exclusive to 
the label. The newest release which is comprised of two tracks 
marks a rather significant shift in musical characterization of 
Hoofbeats Music so far, from hard-hitting and sometimes downright 
evil and grim neurofunk tunes to more melodic, soulful ones. Both 
new tracks have been mastered by the mighty Break himself which is 
an honour in and of itself, with Monochrome, one spectacular half 
of the release, being a charming liquidized asset with soul 
caressing vocals and Hypnotic, the second and none the less 
spectacular half, bringing about the mainstream echoes of 
Dimension, Ema's biggest inspiration. The release clearly 
showcases Ema's versatility and pure talent as well as courage of 
Hoofbeats Music to abandon safe old neurofunk roads in search of 
the new as yet unexplored ones. Ema may be young but she has been 
a staple in the drum and bass community for a few years now and 
the overall quality of her newest release is a testament to this 
very fact.

Premiere: Sun People 'Give It Up'

Exit Records is proud to welcome back Jack Stevens aka https://soundcloud.com/workforce_uk to the family, ten years after his previous incarnation SpectraSoul delivered the classic Melodies / Insignia release.

The 'Your Moves EP' will be Workforce's third release overall and the first release to appear on a different label other than his native, Must Make Music outlet. 

In a short time Workforce has already carved out a strong identity in the music he is releasing. There are values, details and characteristics that set his work apart from anyone else. This singularity is of course underpinned by a sense of function, a thread that connects all of his work.

On Your Moves EP, we are given six tracks that further the Workforce mission, a confident and assured release from Jack Stevens that will no doubt be held in as high regard from peers and listeners alike.

*PREMIERE* Workforce - Your Moves

MALK takes the helm for IN:DEEP’s latest release in the form of his ICE BREAKER EP. Though now primarily a Drum & Bass producer, MALK’s extensive production career began with hip hop and has seen him produce and engineer records for a variety of Belarussian artists, further touring as a DJ as a part of the band LSP. Within the Drum & Bass community, MALK’s productions have appeared across a multitude of labels including Invisible, Kosenprod, Boey Audio and more, and his deft production talents have led him to work in close collaboration with artists such as Nickbee. Now marking his first EP release on IN:DEEP, MALK continues to add to his vast catalogue with three further tracks for his ICE BREAKER EP.

ICE BREAKER opens the EP with a subdued and funk influenced tonal palette, merging its smooth sub bass with a set of syncopated upright plucks to imbue the track’s low end with a uniquely timbred character.  BLOW follows this with a sequence of sparse sonic pulses, which reverberate throughout the tracks atmosphere prior to the introduction of a rolling drumbeat and bassline that emanates occasional bursts of distorted topline energy. MOVE then closes the EP, carrying forwards its theme of sparse and selective arrangement as the warped sounds of the track’s bassline wrap around the impacts of its deftly crafted drums.

Marking MALK’s return to IN:DEEP, ICE BREAKER displays a syncretic merger of MALK’s exacting auditory craftsmanship with the label’s sonic philosophy, resulting in a three track EP that expertly utilizes the full potential of its stripped down production.

The second part of Philth’s ‘Moments in Time’ LP is about to drop on Dispatch Recordings; after the success of its first segment, it’s sure to make a similar impact and start 2020 at a formidable height for Philth. Comprising thirteen more brand new selections, it’ll remind listeners of why his debut LP was such a sought-after release.

The album opens with ‘Let You Fall’, drawing for old-school breaks and emotive voice overtures. Meanwhile, Ella Sopp joins Philth once again for ‘Just a Memory’, with her luring vocals streaming through the mix. Daniela Rhodes is the next featuring artist alongside Philth for ‘Solar Cycle’, their drawn-out melodies and sublime vocals are underpinned by the tracks cinematic breakdowns and ambitious extended arrangement. ‘The Teacher’ pays homage to Philth’s darker waters, with aggressive distorted sub bass and rolling techstep drums. Interlude ‘The Storm’ nods to Philth’s vast musical background, whilst ‘Rivers’ allows you to become lulled by its searing strings. US duo Quadrant & Iris then join Philth for ‘Emerald’, a collaboration which mixes the light and darker elements which make all three producers so buy-on-sight. ‘Damaged’ is more ruminating, with moodier undertones and Becca Jane Grey makes another appearance with Philth for the rollers mix of ‘Lost in a Moment’.
‘Claws’ shows a new production face from Philth, with his drum work acting as a centre piece. ‘The Light’ once again demonstrates his lighter side, like the ethereal tones of ‘Just a Drop in the Ocean’. Finally Collette Warren steps up alongside Philth for the deeply reflective closing track ‘Stuck in a Loop’, the latest in a long line of collaborations between the pair.

Philth proves with another huge delivery that he’s able to take you through a range of emotions, something which his music has always endeavoured to do. ‘Moments in Time’ also highlights Philth’s enviable work ethic, something amplified once more by a production standard which is second to none.

‣ Website/Bandcamp release date: 06 April 2020
‣ General release date: 10 April 2020

Bristolian Stephen Redmore, known through his drum & bass alias Mako, is finally set to unleash his forthcoming LP on Metalheadz, something which he’s been working on behind the scenes for some time. The label head of Utopia is well known for his slick production and penchant for underground anthems, something which has been seen again and again on his own imprint, as well as across a plethora of labels which have acted as pillars for the drum & bass world. Having already made his presence felt before within the catalogue of Metalheadz, as well as Break’s Symmetry Recordings, Dispatch, Soul:R and Samurai Music, he’s a valuable part of the genre’s make up, which is why the announcement of his forthcoming LP ignited widespread anticipation.

Directly translated to ‘a body of art’, Mako’s LP ‘Oeuvre’ is representative of his life’s work in music production. The switching breaks of ‘Heartstone’, slamming, yet eerily hollowed snares of ‘Offline’ and grinding bassline of ‘Life Cycle’ alongside the late Andy Skopes, a testament to the legacy he left behind, set the tone. Meanwhile, Villem and Fields join Mako for the LP’s next collaboration ‘Liquid Groover’ before the emotive swelling build of ‘The Window’ gives way to a second drop beat switch up, continuing the journey. ‘Flip it’ has already been doing the club rounds, as the moody Photek atmospherics of ‘One Reality’ and more affectional twists of ‘Holding You’ adds to the tracklist’s versatility.

‘The Scenic Values’ underscores Mako’s love of Krust and Doc Scott production grooves, whilst the experimental soundscape of ‘Hoxton Home’ heralds back to old Lemon D. ‘Oh Really’ finishes the album’s more club-orientated offerings, which follows with a 170bpm techno style track via ‘Passive Aggressor’. ‘Oeuvre’ is a walkthrough of Mako’s many personalities as a musician and it finds a welcome home within Metalheadz’s historic discography.

Think I'm Gone

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.
