(ABSCENCE)

Uplink (UK) brings us a four-track statement of intent on the 'Backrooms EP' - a hard-hitting dive into the shadowy corners of tech-driven Jump Up Drum & Bass. This collection is precision-crafted for late-night systems, loaded with stripped-back menace, militant energy, and sub-heavy groove 🔥

The title track ‘Backrooms’ teams Uplink with Manchester’s lyrical heavyweight Diligent Fingers, delivering a dystopian soundscape of glitched-out atmospheres, razor-sharp breaks and soul-rooted storytelling. ‘Code Denied’ follows with surgical detail - a steely, mechanical roller built for warehouse floors and dark headphone sessions alike. On ‘Infiltrator’, Uplink taps into covert jump-up territory with stuttering bass hits and stealth-mode energy, while ‘Liquidators’ closes the set with cold precision - pure minimal weight and calculated intent 😮‍💨

Available now on all platforms - let us know which one is your favourite 👇🏻💚

Dispatch Recordings proudly present ‘Dreamland’ – the 2nd solo album from Bristol based DLR.

Continuing where his 2015 debut ‘Seeing Sounds’ left off, ‘Dreamland’ is an album concept that reflects on the world today. Encouraging people to challenge the barriers and comfort zones we blissfully exist within, DLR seeks to resist the inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into; an inherently greed based system, where numbers govern art and culture, whilst popularity determines the success of social causes, as issues are picked up and dropped in the blink of an eye.

Musically, the album is honest, straight up and sound design focused, as DLR pays homage to the older styles of DnB, building on the genre’s core principles, writing his own chapter in Bristol’s long running heritage. A statement of intent towards soul and groove driven music, each track is personified by simple ideas meticulously arranged, as DLR prioritises the raw elements to enhance the groove and sub bass, allowing each aspect enough space to breathe and develop.

Note: This particular track will only be made available via our limited run of Dropcards and on the double pack full vinyl release. It won't be made available to download via usual outlets as part of the digital version of the album.

We welcome Russian producer Spline for a debut release, titled the ‘Injection EP’.

Instantly gripping us with title track ‘Injection’, Spline has a penchant for crisp drum work and snapping snares, cocooned by gritty, low end growls. Allowing plenty of space in in the mix, the music retains a constant swing throughout.

With two tracks more rolling, Spline switches up the EP with two more experimental steppers ‘Be Elephant’ and ‘Move’, as relentless percussive combos strike from all sides, whipping up a dose of half time hysteria.

Pushing the boundaries and keeping us guessing right from the off, we are pleased to introduce Spline to Dispatch.

Somewhere deep in the Surrey hills, armed only with a laptop, a few choice records and a bucket load of creativity and ambition Peter Goebel AKA Arkaik began his career within drum and bass. Fast forward 15 years and Arkaik has since become a pioneer for the stripped back and half time sound. After his first release "Only Me" on Vandal Limited it's time now for Arkaik to drop a deep minimal EP showcasing his original sound.

Lifestyle brings yet more Russians to the roster with the addition of Thematic, a producer & DJ hailing from St Petersburg, with a carefully curated two-track release on the label this Spring.  A relatively fresh name in the scene, but with tracks receiving support on Noisia Radio and Amoss’ wicked ‘Cranium Session’ series, his minimal techy style of production is turning heads, and picking him up a following online. 

This release fits into the upwards trajectory of his production style, keeping it relatively stripped-back, while still remaining undeniably catchy and listenable. This release displays a unique style of minimal drum & bass production from Thematic, with tunes that will fit both headphones and a huge club system, the style is consistent and pure all the way through, one for the heads for sure.

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.
