Hold Me Closer 129_mix

Release date 28.10.19

Continuing the saga, Addictive Behaviour's Rotation LP spins round once again bringing with it a multitude of talent from across the globe. Previous iterations of the esteemed Rotation series have featured a mix of rising and emerging artists alongside AB faves and regulars. This fourth instalment doesn't break tradition, bringing with it an abundance of fresh new names alongside some very recognisable pseudonyms.

However the one vast difference in this year's offering is the size of the album. The Rotation roster has certainly grown year on year, but where past editions have featured between 8 and 14 tracks this year's offering will be stacked to the brim with an epic 26 brand new cuts curated from over 30 top drawer, future thinking artists who each bring their own unique blend to the table.

Rotation Four is a colourful display of varied styles showcasing an inspiring array of music making skillsets but all of which express that familiar Addictive sound and high levels of production.

Returning after a year’s break from releasing music to focus solely on finishing the album; Xtrah follows up his previous EP for Cyberfunk, ‘New Perspective’, featuring the dance floor, crowd-pleaser ‘In The Shadows’ – a track that gained heavy radio, club and festival play
with support globally from such artists as Noisia, DJ Hype, Rene La Vice, and many others.

Taken from his highly-anticipated debut album ‘X’, Dispossessed embodies the razor-sharp techniques Xtrah has mastered to refine his sound after a decade’s worth of craft within the drum and bass scene.

Xtrah’s development in experimental techniques has lead to recreating organic sounding instruments and classic breaks by carving elements from synthesised soundscapes. His
mastery of digital processes has allowed him to create an album, that not only stands up in the digital era, but still retains the soul and feel of sampled records reinforcing his original approach to making music via sampling.

By some distance, ‘X’ is the meticulous London artist’s biggest project to date – one that has taken him almost three perfection-chasing years to complete but is now ready for release.

Xtrah - Disposessed

After 2018's Snap Back EP we're more than happy to welcome back @taelimb with the Pegasus EP. A 4 tracker rich of diverse drums, bass and vibes ;-)
We're kicking off things with 'Pegasus' which can only be described as Apocalyptic! Hammering drums, with the typical Chilton drum fills, haunting vocals make this one a unique piece of music we fell in love at first listen.
'Gimme More' on the other hand is clearly aimed at peak time dancefloor. We're picturing the energy this one causes after Britney requests us to give her more, while this rolls out relentlessly.
Continuing with 'Cork Screw' and the possibly thinnest break you've heard all year. No worries though it's making lots of room for an enormous bassline that erupts after an ode to the under back part of a womans body, which essentially brings in an element of fun into this release.
Back at being serious we're rounding off the EP with 'Black Mould'. It begins silky soft, with a nice piano stroke. It lures you into false expectations because when this drops you know the drill. Taelimb plays with light and nice tones and turns this into mayhem amen workout.
He's playing effortlessly with different styles while maintaining his own sound and that's exactly why we believe he's unique in this scene.

PREMIERE: Vici 'Concentrate' [Impact Music]

Available now on general release via:
• Dispatch Store - https://bit.ly/BTKHollow
• Bandcamp - https://bit.ly/BTKHollowBP
• All stores - https://fanlink.to/DISBTKLP001

Dispatch Recordings is proud to present BTK’s 3rd Drum & Bass album, his first solo LP since the sad loss of his long term production partner Ed Optiv. The title ‘Hollow’ reflects that sense of loss, as BTK completes his return to drum and bass with the aim of making Ed proud.

Many will be familiar with the style of music BTK is well known for – often seen as a master of rolling, heavyweight funk made for the dancefloor. For this album, he set out to do things differently, crafting music that could be enjoyed both in or outside of the club – still full of that same raw and uncomplicated groove.

The album includes collaborations with some of his oldest friends. For ‘Oi’ the old school Metalheadz flavours of Gremlinz, combine with the Virus influenced style of BTK, to create the perfect combination of funk and tech from the early 2000s.

Ink is a producer BTK cites as a vital part of his music production journey since day one. Having made many tunes together throughout their career since meeting at an early dnb event in Rio de Janeiro, ‘The Last Scroll’ is a particularly special collab commemorating nearly 20 years of friendship.

Another repeat collaborator is Cologne-based Jumpat, with the pair previously releasing on BTK’s own label Dutty Audio. Complimenting each other’s style perfectly, this is a tag team to watch out for.

Easily demonstrating his wealth of production expertise and ability to capture the essence of rolling funk this album is a testament to BTKs long history of drum and bass production, one we are incredibly happy to be continuing at Dispatch Recordings.

Quadrant & Iris make a welcome return to Dispatch with a 3 track release, featuring a collaboration with Codebreaker and a remix from Sixfour. 

‘Stoic’ takes its name from the Greek philosophical tradition of Stoicism, which encourages resilience in the face of a world and events that we’re unable to control. The last 4 years (and the last year in particular) have been difficult for many people, During this time, the US based couple Quadrant & Iris saw creating music like this as a defiant act. Something they ‘can’ control.

Codebreaker joins the pair for ‘Instinct’ as the talented lyricist and MC defines the authenticity he holds as key to the sound we love at Dispatch. Throughout his many years working within the scene he has seen it change but always return to the underground, choosing instinct over fabrication.

1. "Stoic" - Quadrant & Iris
2. "Instinct" - Quadrant, Iris & Codebreaker
3. "Calculated Risk (Sixfour Remix)" - Quadrant & Iris

Dispatched 2020 

BTK - VSound - Dispatched 2020 LP - 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.
