Drum & Bass

Dinosaur

New private playlist

All conquering UK rap crew Foreign Beggars, who recently teamed up once more with long time collaborator Alix Perez on their Modus EP, call on another of drum & bass's biggest talents to give the EP's title track a 170 refix. Here at Data Transmission we bring you the exclusive premiere of Calyx & Teebee's Modus remix. Retaining the minimal nature of the hip hop original, the half time intro draws you in: Metropolis spits his fire bars before it twists and switches into a techy, bass driven beast. Orifice Vulgatron handles the breakdown, his rapid fire delivery amping you up for round two with more ice cold percussion edits.

Track of the Day: Anile “Allergens”

Dispatch Dubplate returns in October, with two of the most infamous unreleased dubs of the past decade; the Alix Perez & Zero T collaborations ‘The Ladders’ & ‘Enemy Of Reason’ will finally be made available digitally and on a limited vinyl press. 

A ‘dubplate’ in its purest form, becoming something of an urban legend in DnB, the tracks were kept ultra-exclusive for years; sent only to a select few DJs, only accessible to those attending the clubs, fueling the excitement that made up the dubplate culture we celebrate within this series.

Truly defying the test of time, we present two tracks that still provoke just as strong a reaction on the dancefloor almost a decade on, and for some, spurs nostalgic memories of ‘The End’ in London. 

With 400 hand stamped, signed and numbered heavyweight vinyl copies available, there is a very limited press and much like previous Dispatch Dubplates, this will never be re-pressed.

Xtrah 'Disturbance EP'
DISXTEP001

A1. The Embarkment
A2. Purple Skies (ft. Mako)
B. Babylon Shall Fall
C. Disturbance
D1. Tibetan Funk
D2. Fragments (ft. Hybris & Skulpture)

Having closely followed his music since day dot, we are very pleased to welcome Xtrah to Dispatch for a debut solo release, the highly anticipated ‘Disturbance EP’.

Coveted for his own distinctive twist on the techier side of drum & bass, Xtrah’s technical skill is unrivalled, but his impeccable control sets him out from the crowd; taunting and playfully manipulating sounds, even amongst the darkest, most sinister of vibes.

Building up a serious back catalogue in recent years, he has blessed Dispatch with some memorable, yet cameo roles to date, most recently with ‘Direct Approach’ alongside DLR for our first ever Dispatch Dubplate 12.

The ‘Disturbance EP’ is his biggest release with us so far and is well worth the wait, including six original tracks, that have blown us away right from the off; all of which have been a staple of Ant TC1 sets in recent months.

Featuring some of Xtrah’s most demanded tracks such as ‘Tibetan Funk’ (first aired by Mefjus on BBC Radio 1) and the mighty ‘Babylon Shall Fall’, fresh collaborations also appear on the EP, with Mako, on the bass throbbing ‘Purple Skies’ and Hybris & Skulpture, for relentless tech funk foray, ‘Fragments’.

A quintessential release for any discerning Dispatch follower, Xtrah delivers an outstanding EP, hitting hard with a special touch of class.

Release dates (vinyl & digital):
– 06/03/2017 via the Dispatch webstore and Bandcamp.
– 10/03/2017 via general release.

No Concept – Grave Digga (feat. SMK)
Beatport Excl. http://bit.ly/GraveDigga

The No Concept boys, formerly known as Dubba Jonny & Russla, have wasted no time in establishing themselves as an integral part of the Technique roster. Their huge “Soundcheck EP” set the tone, with heavy rave and radio rotation, and the download chart success to match. Then, we've seen them demonstrate their versatility with their contributions to the Technique Summer 2018 album. Now, it's time for another twist in the tale.

If you've been paying attention, you might have already heard “Grave Digga” doing damage in Drumsound & Bassline Smith's sets over the last few months. That tension-laden intro, made of post-apocalyptic sirens and insistent flecks of guitar, gives notice something dangerous is on its way. Add DnB's punchline slinger SMK into the mix to provide another touch of the darkside, and it all adds up to some weapons-grade rave material.

When the drop crashes in with it's octave-switching basslines, rising chords, and jaw-breaking drums, then you'd better get set for the reload. No Concept have gone full Frankenstein and designed a monster, every element designed to ramp up the energy. Bars for the spit-along crew, rolling beats and bass-weight for the skankers, and all the fills and modulations required to grab the dance's attention and never let it go.

The No Concept name reflects the duo's full-spectrum, no-pigeon-hole approach to production. And, so far, everything we've seen from them has shown us a new angle on their sound. With “Grave Digga”, they've definitively proved their ability to deliver pure dancefloor mayhem, and it begs the question, where can they take us next? Seems like the ride's just beginning.

A shadow fell with bleak weight against the broken cityscape as the towering frame of the scaled behemoth stood above the now desolate metropolis. Cold eyes flickered within the recesses of its heavy skull, surveying its fragmented and twisted domain for any remnants of the fleshy morsels of the living who had once resided there. Beneath its talons shifted stone and metal, groaning under its weight in a cacophanus lament for what had been. It lumbered forward through the carnage of the city, led by its singular mind, barely noticing as each thundering step felled the last vestiges of that once grand city around it. This city on the rocky plain, a pinnacle of the species that built it, now laid to waste by this overwhelming titan of entropy and fury. The towering skyline collapsed around the beast as it effortlessly shifted and demolished with single sweeps of its tail. Issuing a howling, guttural roar of pure, brutal energy, its inhuman rage resounded throughout the city, angular audio reflections bouncing across the broken buildings and striking fear deep into the hearts of those who still clung to a wretched life. They haunted the shadows, hiding from the its ravenous hunger, hidden away in fear amongst the crumbling concrete. With a burst of sudden fury the beast twisted, striking at a skyscraper and tearing it open, spilling the mess of its insides and the once precious multitude of human things across the streets below. But missing was the softness of the meal it craved. It lumbered onward, the strange paths which this insignificant species had laid, leading it through the decaying land... a constant drive for flesh feeding its voracious desire - that endless, unfillable void. Its stride echoed with the ominous assurance of recurrence, its cycle of consumption would begin anew.

MOB TACTICS land heavily in the dystopian EATBRAIN audio landscape, delivering their highly anticipated and much requested debut full EP - DINOSAUR ROCK - one of dnb's apex tech labels. Following up single tracks BLACK DIAMOND, TUFF GUY and JAW BREAKER, as well as a remix of Maztek's STOMPIN on Eatbrain, and with their impressive trail of intricate and colourful sonic devastation across the drum and bass stratosphere, the duo have delivered a devastating cut, made with with the artful skill of true veterans. Packed with kinetic energy, and with a detailed and high definition production perspective; DINOSAUR ROCK resonates with the weighty step of true sonic titans making impressive moves in coordination with one of the most consistent imprints of today.

Mob Tactics - Zombie Funk (Eatbrain060)

Big thanks to Rene LaVice for including 'Surge Wave' from Philth & Wreckless' next EP as his rinse out track of the week.

Out now.  Buy / stream links:
• Dispatch Store - bit.ly/DIS128
• Bandcamp - bit.ly/DIS128BC
• All other stores - fanlink.to/DIS128

Their first full release together on Dispatch, the mighty pairing of Philth & Wreckless join forces on the ‘Heimlich EP’. 

Hoisting together some serious hurters in the past such as ‘The Circle’, one studio session took a turn for the worst when Philth inadvertently choked on a piece of steak. Wreckless quickly came to the rescue, performing a well-timed Heimlich maneuver to save the day and thus, the ‘Heimlich EP’ was born (true story!). 

A naturally formed duo, Philth & Wreckless compliment and assist each other’s styles effortlessly. However, as a disclaimer, Dispatch cannot be held responsible for any subsequent food related accidents that may occur whilst listening to this music.

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.
