Philth returns to Dispatch for 2016, with a 2nd EP entitled ‘The Circle’ to follow up last year’s ‘Cosmos’. Developing his journey and continuing to impress, it cements his status as one of the key up-comers to watch in D&B this year.

Harboring a lethal groove amongst tightly crafted drums and relentless lows, Philth keeps us intrigued through the chaos. With dark soundscapes and carefully chosen samples, the intensity levels remain high, but energy is retained consistently, without ever losing momentum.

His debut track on Dispatch ‘Your Love’ receives a huge rework from SCAR to lead the EP, plus a fresh 2016 remaster, whilst dancefloor pick ‘Yeti’ joins two collaborations; a shadow stepper with Kolectiv & Bredren and infectious title track ‘The Circle’ alongside Wreckless.

The cross-continental sounds of Delta9 Recordings have been making themselves known over recent months. That’s due to the high-calibre releases they’ve been dropping onto a worldwide fan base, despite being based out of both Berlin and Bergamo, which both stand as two of Europe’s biggest cultural hubs. Founded in 2012, the combined influence of both cities have brought forward incredibly slick releases, with their dark, minimalistic and techstep sounds flooding the market and drawing a huge fan base towards the imprint. Their forthcoming EP from Lao Wai is likely to have the same effect, appealing directly to the heads and staying true to the underground realms which forged the label in its earliest days. Between ‘Physical Contact’ and ‘Hypernormal’, the drum & bass maestro proves why he landed a position within UKF’s ‘Ones to Watch in 2018’ feature, because his records are unshakeable, whilst progressing with an energy which lends itself directly to Delta9’s stellar back catalogue of music.

‘Physical Contact’ leads you into the fray, with sweeping atmospherics, slowly gyrating drums and moody percussion which hides underneath the mix. Slowly the track comes into play, taking you down a minimalist chasm streamlined by distorted vocal samples. ‘Birthplace’ follows the same manipulated moniker, with smashing hi-hats moving you through a progressing drop, one which leaves you freefalling against rolling breaks and an old-school vibe which doesn’t go unmissed. ‘Factories in Manchester’ submerges you into the deep end, with a bassline that becomes heavier layer after layer before you’re finally enveloped by its weight. ‘Hypernormal’ is the EP’s final addition, with clapping snares and a rhythm which skips between each beat pattern. The drums are cut-throat, with a jagged edge that juts throughout the track’s segments and presents a side of Delta9 which is clear competition for any of the more renowned imprints within the scene.

Delta9 Recordings are one of the leading independent labels to come through over the past twelve months and with each release they’re beginning to build on this reputation. With more music in the pipeline, their stepping it up another gear and 2018 will stand as a pivotal moment.

This month at Lifestyle we are very excited to bring you something ultra-fresh. Introducing two new artists on our label, get ready for the funked-up sound of P&K. These two sassy Spaniards have been putting in their dues around the scene for a bit now, honing a lively, tight neuro sound. With their refreshing take on high-energy drum & bass, these boys are set on a steep trajectory, one that’s sure to see their tracks landing right on target, and demolishing dancefloors the world over. We’re real pleased to bring them into the familia, and with these two cracking tunes, we’re certain you’ll be glad we did as well! 

‘Dancing Swing’ does right what it says on the tin, flaunting their original style for all to hear. A live, jazzy intro (complete with horns, keys, crazy drum rolls, and vocal stabs) builds the tension with a tight, driving break underneath, before the tension breaks and out comes the horrible reeses. From the drop onwards it’s a straight-up dut affair, with big, warpy bass riffs that force movement out of your body, and stuttering, techy bass sections reminiscent of early 00’s neuro. A tune that not only brings the heat with the crazy basses, but remains distinctive and stylish, instead of drowning all it’s individuality in a sea of reese design. Absolutely essential track for anyone mixing aggressive drum & bass styles. 

‘The Mirror,’ a much darker track, but just as beautifully crafted. A tasty drum funk forms the intro, with a bunch of echoic, spacey synths and textures, added to this is a incredibly creepy piano and a bunch of swirling bass design, before the track drops, opening up into a fat reese riff, weighted by an ultra-funked drum break. Simple, but heavily effective, this track is another specifically crafted for a rowdy club; the breakdown will have people looking over their shoulder for ghosts, but then exorcising themselves as soon as those basses kick back in. A super-strong first release for Lifestyle from Picota & Kumbh, hopefully the first of many we’ll be supplying from these Iberian brothers.

P&K - The Mirror

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.
