Black Barrel - Always The Same

DIS085 “The Microsleep EP”.	

Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris	        | A. Microsleep
Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris	        | B1. Convergence (DLR & Ant TC1 Re-Converge)
Quadrant & Cease			        | B2. Warsaw
Quadrant & Iris			        | C. Genesis Wave [Digital Exclusive]
Quadrant, RoyGreen & Protone	| D. Right Now [Digital Exclusive]

Release Date: 20/10/2014

Seattle based Quadrant sets the bar high with his first Dispatch EP, entitled “The Microsleep EP”, otherwise known as “MicrosleEP” for short. 

Collaborating with different artists on each track, a distinctive Quadrant signature groove strikes the lower frequencies throughout the EP. With fellow collaborators Iris, Kid Hops, Cease, RoyGreen & Protone all bringing their own specialist touches to the mix, the EP resembles a mixing flask from a meddling scientist; collating individual resources and including all the intricate details and calculations to create a lethal strain at 170bpm and up! 

Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris lead the EP with title track, "Microsleep", a dark insomniac that comfortably sweeps through a 4am dancefloor without hesitation. Their very first collaboration on Dispatch LTD “Convergence” receives the remix treatment too, as DLR & Ant TC1 join forces to “Re-Converge” on the original, masterfully tuning up the already malicious hub and re-igniting the drums into a new more stepping, switched-up take on a superb original from Seattle's finest. 

Exclusively aired on BBC Radio 1Xtra, the momentous moans of "Genesis Wave" follow soon after, rolling ruthlessly and re-fueling at every break, before a cascading helix of sub-low pressure carries ice cold "Warsaw" into battle. To complete the EP, "Right Now" written alongside talented Austrian duo Roygreen & Protone delivers that final, lethal blow, as arcane musical elements curiously harmonise, only to contrast spectacularly with a pulsating bassline drop that almost blows the lids clean off the speakers.

Cern | 15. End of Another Sky

Travelling the world from NZ to UK and reflecting on his experiences, Cern releases his second album “Under Another Sky” on Dispatch Recordings. Captaining an enthralling quest into his creative sphere, this project encapsulates a wide breadth of influences, delivering an all-rounded album that is both diverse and quality in substance.

Cern exercises total freedom across tempos and genres to map out a complex blueprint of his own fictional world; welcoming you to drift off into its atmosphere. As the novel unwinds, “Under Another Sky” delves deep into the senses with seamless transitions; from the progressive amen curiosity of “Infinite Exchanges” through to the off-kilter, abstract forays of “Human Dynamics” and serene instrumentals of “Blumei”.

The LP features a 15 track digital album, hand-picked and arranged to enhance the listening experience, rather than catering or targeting to dancefloor crowds. Vast soundscapes and solo instrumental pieces assimilate with sub-bass pressure to complete an all-encompassing listening experience from start to finish.

Amongst his own solo ventures, guest artist collaborators join Cern to explore the full spectrum of the D&B edge. Rolling early on with DLR for groove ridden “Patterns” and later met by the emotive depth of “Those Left Behind” with Hydro, his darker side accumulates throughout the album, as rugged link ups with Loxy, Gremlinz and Overlook cause untold low end damage.

Experimenting with both orchestral and amen elements to contrasting effect, Cern offers a temporary retreat from reality to take you “Under Another Sky”.

DISDUB002

Survival | 1. Dub Soldier (The Outlook VIP)
SCAR | 2. Call To Arms VIP (Dubplate Exclusive)
SCAR | 3. Do You Love

Release Date | 10/11/2014

The ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ label represents a new series of releases from Dispatch that focuses on special remixes of past tracks as well as new material with an emphasis on the ‘dubplate’ cutting culture of days gone past that we feel has been missing across more recent years as part of what was once a very vinyl / acetate led scene. The vinyl format itself will play an important role, with exclusive ‘dubplate only’ tracks featured per release in the series, all pressed on a strictly limited, one time only x 300 press without any release specific artwork, to retain an air of mystery to every new release.

The second in the series shines the spotlight on label stalwart Survival and his most recent SCAR moniker alongside Script, a duo causing untold carnage since their inception earlier this year. Kicking off with a solo encounter, Survival brings us the mighty Dub Soldier VIP. Reworked especially for Outlook Festival where the Dispatch imprint hosts a stage on an annual basis, the VIP of this already powerful track tore the Dispatch stage and Boat Party to absolute shreds on first play, with a specialist touch of amen chops creating added hysteria to the original. It’s a strong follow up to an original that has received support from Friction on BBC Radio 1 as well as appearing on UKF’s channel with over 150’000 plays in total to date.

With a new take on the title track of their first Dispatch EP, “Call To Arms VIP” will be available exclusively on vinyl for this release. If “Call To Arms” was beast in itself, then the VIP is it’s psychopathic twin brother pushed to the edge of sanity, with twisted textures and slurring mid ranges. Topping off the release is a new SCAR track, entitled “Do You Love”. A dark and deadly soundtrack defines the intro; a thrilling cinematic opener, before tightly programmed drums instill an infectious groove to the core.

While living in Thailand for a brief stint, Black Barrel and Ant TC1 found themselves as neighbours. During that time, Black Barrel shared some long-lost, unfinished 90s projects by Karl Miller. The dusty archives instantly struck a chord with Ant; raw, atmospheric blueprints that still held serious weight.

The pair wasted no time selecting two standout tracks to breathe new life into for a Dispatch Blueprints release. What followed was a true collaborative exchange, with Karl Miller and Black Barrel trading ideas across borders, each injecting their signature style into the foundations of these original cuts.

The result? Two pieces of deep, atmospheric Jungle music, charged with nostalgic character but sharpened by a modern edge. Vintage bones, future flesh.

http://mp3.soulr.com/album/i-dont-usually-like-mcs-but


DRS and Dub Phizix - Play with fire - Soul:r

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.
