 Manchester’s Quantum Mechanix are a drum & bass duo dedicated to merging the raw spirit of classic tech-step with the precision and weight of modern production. With a deep respect for the foundations laid in the late 90s and early 2000s, their sound takes inspiration from the sharp drums, and sub-heavy pressure of that era — but reimagined through today’s sonic lens.

Their raw, stripped back sound resonates throughout this EP, creating originality in a space that is often overloaded with replicas and sound-a-likes. From deep rolling textures to heavy stepping breaks these four tracks exemplify their passion to develop their own unique sound, delivering both technical finesse and unmistakable vibe.

Firmly rooted in drum & bass tradition their forward thinking production combines intricate drum programming, tension building atmospheres and chest-rattling low-end.

Sub City EP

Exposure - Already There

Exposure’s dropping his first release on Dispatch Recordings with the 'Sub City EP', a project inspired by Bristol’s buzzing music scene and its raw Drum & Bass vibe.

These tracks came together during late-night sessions in shared houses, capturing the city’s unstoppable sound, where the bass shakes windows at home and in passing cars. Exposure’s connection to Bristol runs deep, from grabbing records at Chemical and skating at Motion to eventually DJing there.

The 'Sub City' EP is a nod to his roots, serving up heavy bass and punchy drums across four solid tracks, including a cool collab with Screamarts. It’s a release that comes straight from a city soaked in Drum & Bass culture.

Exposure - Sub City [Dispatch Recordings] PREMIERE

The Beach from Black Barrel sounds like aliens landed through a portal… and brought a groove with them. Skittering drums, screechy funk, and razor-tight sound design, lifted from the Follow Me EP on Dispatch Recordings.

Follow Me EP

Black Barrel - The Beach

Here's a little promo mix I've done ahead of the first official launch date ahead of Survival and Silent Witness's 'In from the Wild' album which drops across January 2013 (EP) and the full album across February 2013; used TP's of the sampler on the old 1210's and the rest on CDJ's.  

Featured in the mix is roughly a third of whats on the full project itself and I think it acts as a good taster of what to expect from the guys, the album blows me away every time I listen to it and this mini-mix just acts as a sample of what to expect.  

The album project features collaborations with talented vocalists such as Ruby Wood (Submotion Orchestra), Sara Mitra, Lowqui and fellow artists such as Klute, Cern & Matt Impact.

The sampler EP drops on the 14th of January 2013 with the full album landing across formats and dates in Feb 2013.

Survival & Silent Witness 'In from the Wild' album preview DJ mini-mix (mixed by Ant TC1)

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.
