‘It’s been nine years since my first release on Dispatch Recordings (Structure made with Skeptical). In that time I’ve featured on so many releases with some great producers (DLR, Homemade Weapons, Black Barrel, Dub Head, Tephra & Arkoze, Bredren). I have built a back catalogue of music that I’m incredibly proud of. It’s with great pleasure that I can now present my own project – the Frequencies EP.

This is the culmination of over two years of work – what started as a collaboration with Test Switch has grown to become a varied collection of tracks featuring some of my close friends and allies within the scene. The title track – Frequencies – is a particularly poignant moment as I have known Ben for nearly 15 years. He was the first promoter to offer me a proper residency, and I continue to play at his night – the Bristol-based ‘Intrigue’ – to this day.

This EP has allowed me to showcase my versatility as an artist. I’ve balanced the more aggressive lyrical styles (something for the heads that like to hear an MC spit!) with the catchy dance floor rollers and some laid back, conscious grooves. Whatever you are into, I’d like to think you will find it here.

‘Frequencies’ is also a pivotal moment in my career as – for the first time – I am the lead artist as opposed to a ‘feature’. This scene can sometimes undervalue the role of the MC, and I think it’s critical that we are recognised as artists within our own rights.

However, I am completely aware that without the hard work of the producers involved, there would be no music. I cannot make tracks on my own; I do not claim to be a producer. It’s a team effort, and I only work with people that I get along with, where there is mutual respect. I am super grateful to all of the guys for the beats they’ve made.

Enjoy the tracks. The next batch of ammo is already in the chamber, got to keep things moving forward!’ Fokus.

Tracklist:
1. Fokus & Test Switch – Water Tight

3. Fokus, DBR UK & Structured – Bloodwater VIP
4. Fokus, Tephra & Arkoze – Pitch Black
5. Fokus, Paolo, Hillzy, Tephra & Arkoze – Mantra

Since their debut, they have released several free singles and signed under some of the world's leading Drum & Bass labels such as Dispatch Recordings, Flexout Audio and Delta9.

For their first release on Counterpoint, the Slovakian duo invited the two of Bristol’s fastest rising talents - Creatures and Jestah, for two amazing collaborations which complement the deep vibe of the EP with a pristine tech-rolling vibe.

We welcome SD back to Dispatch with the “Toni Solidi EP”. The Italian maestro brings us 4 tracks of “solid tones” – the translation of which forms the title of the EP. 

‘Hatchet’ takes its name from Lock Stock’s ‘Hatchet Harry’, the tune is built from industrial foley samples and a looped voice track. Tight, sharp cuts and psychotic mumbling fitting perfectly with the character. 

The release continues this theme with ‘Mastadon’ a dark percussive stomper, ‘Wires’ packed with raw, nervous energy, and ‘Don’t You’ contrasting the rough, funk led beats with warm distortion and a liquid edge.

1. "Hatchet" 
2. "Mastodon" 
3. "Wires" 
4. "Don't You"

We welcome Scepticz back to Dispatch for the next instalment of the Dispatch Limited series. 

Familiar to some for his production work with M-zine, this release sees the talented Belgian producer demonstrate the depth of his own sound. Two richly textured and beautiful solo tracks, 'Ikki' and 'Relate', were crafted in his first exploratory solo production sessions. 

The release is completed with the minimal rolling sounds of 'Forged', as he is joined by hometown friend Gekkus Tonie for their first time in the studio together. 

After beer and chocolate, Scepticz is quickly proving to be one of the finest Belgian export products.

1. "Ikki" 
2. "Forged" - Scepticz & Gekkus Tonie	
3. "Relate"

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.
