Premonition (Amoss Remix)

Digging even deeper into their nasty jungle and old skool roots, the Fling Rock Stone EP, presents you with an onslaught of perfectly executed, razor sharp drum patterns and basses that pack a 10 tonne force to the chest! Due to be released on internationally renowned Ram Record’s sister imprint Program, it’s the follow up to a debut single which saw the rise to underground prominence. 

‘Fling Rock Stone’ kicks off the EP, setting the tone with intricate filtered breaks and the war cry of “Fling Rock Stone”. You’re hyped up into a flurry of chest caving subs and breaks chopped together with utmost precision and style.

Up next is ‘Highgrade’, beginning with pads this track is set to annihilate dancefloor’s around the world over and over. Serious amen break drum work cuts through and delivers nothing but power and bass weight energy reminiscent of the dark days, fusing new elements with old skool flavour, delivering nothing short of a production masterpiece.

‘Hyper G’ and ‘Bagleys’ complete the EP. ‘Hyper G’ rolls in with mysterious, unearthly atmospherics layered on top of mangled drum edits building into a crushing assault. Heavy weight kick drums, clanged snares and mid range heavy stabs deliver an all-out tear rhythm, able to lead you onto any dance floor. ‘Bagleys’ sets a different tone. Taking you on a journey to the epic rave days of Bagleys nightclub with an echoed sample mixed on top of bitcrushed drum edits and murky pads, its rises into a storm of pitching down bass, and the drums are rolled in guaranteeing nothing but pure dancefloor satisfaction.

With 4 beautifully crafted masterpieces, Slang Banger blend the lines of old skool flavour and dark, tech infused bass lines to deliver something fresh, exciting and monstrous! Thus delivering the guarantee of world dance floor domination!

A Critical Music charity fundraising album project for Oxfam's refugee crisis appeal, featuring tracks donated by Current Value, Enei, Foreign Concept, Halogenix, Hyroglifics, Klax, Sam Binga & Signal. 
Album mastered by Audio Montage: https://www.facebook.com/studio.audiomontage

Over the last two Christmas' the team at Critical huddled together and decided that rather than let some sought after unreleased music sit idle on their hard drives they would put it to use and offer people the chance to download the tracks in return for donating something to charity. 
This year is no different and we at Critical have all gone through the vaults and put an album together, again for an important cause. We have chosen Oxfam's Refugee Crisis Appeal which is something close to all of our hearts.
Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, to run for their lives and risk the safety of their families. Oxfam urgently need to help more people in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and closer to home in Europe, too.

For our final release of 2016, we are proud to have reached our milestone 100th Dispatch release, marking the occasion with a Various Artists’ compilation featuring some of our favourite producers from the past and present.

Celebrating some of the artists that have moulded the label today, whilst simultaneously showcasing upcoming talent, the album is split into two parts – the ‘Future Blueprint’; including original / newly remixed music from the likes of DLR, Skeptical, Gerra, Stone & Cern and the ‘Past Blueprint’; a selection of our best loved cuts from over the years, with numerous showings from Survival, Break and Zero T, plus classics from A.I., Marcus Intalex and Duo Infernale.

Reflecting on how the label and artists have developed together in time, further names appear on both Parts 1 & 2, including Script (on ‘Sahara’ with Survival and also the classic ‘Set Up The Set’) and label boss Ant TC1, alongside Chris SU and Stress Level first for ‘Waves’ and now, remixing Nymfo’s ‘Coming Through’ with Seattle duo Quadrant & Iris.

With special thanks to all the fans, press and DJs that have supported us over the years, we are thrilled to have made it to a century of releases; with so much good music around today, we look forward to sharing our plans for 2017 and on.

Dispatch Dubplate 007.
Release dates:
– 21/04/2017 via our webstore and Bandcamp.
– 12/05/2017 via general stores.

When two of the most exciting names in drum & bass combine forces, you are in for something special – Amoss & Fre4knc bring Dispatch Dubplate their first full collaborative release.
 
Highly anticipated following two previous link ups on Dispatch, both heavily demanded and supported, these guys have been towing the line between darkness and groove, delivering tech with funk like nobody else (we’re pleased to say there is more music still to come).
 
Their most recent, ‘Vortice’, receives a VIP for Dispatch Dubplate, reinvigorating the original into a switching, half time laden beast; ‘The Passage’ offers a souped up 2017 nod to the classic Wormhole sound; ‘Redemption’ rounds off tenaciously, as an exclusive to the vinyl.
 
With a limited run of just 300 hand stamped, signed and numbered heavyweight vinyl copies available, ensure your copy as our Dispatch Dubplates often sell out in advance of release. 

– Vinyl format
Amoss & Fre4knc 
A. “Vortice VIP”
B1. “The Passage”
B2 [DUBPLATE / VINYL EXCLUSIVE]. “Redemption”

– Digital format
Amoss & Fre4knc 
1. "Vortice VIP"
2. "The Passage"

As with past Dispatch Dubplate records, these do sell out way ahead of release date so to secure a copy we'd advise pre-ordering today. This time round we have a higher allocation for sale on our site, we are unsure at this point in time on any amount that will go to general distribution.

Please note: slight change to spec to give us and you the best quality product possible:

DISPATCH DUBPLATE:
• 180g vinyl (heavier and thicker than standard releases)
• Inner label stickers (from DISDUB005 onwards) are now already pre-stuck onto the records centre (the artist and track information is left completely blank for you to choose to write on the inner vinyl label sticker or not)
• Kraft card outside sleeve (no artwork but will be 'stamped' on with a 'Dispatch Recordings' label black ink stamp)
• Additional thick plastic outer protection sleeve
• Additional bonus sticker pack included
• Hand-signed by artist(s)
• Individually and uniquely numbered per vinyl
• No re-press (ever)

Includes digital pre-order of Dispatch Dubplate 007.

This is a pre-order product. If you order this product with any other items your order will only be shipped once all parts of your order are ready for despatch.

I had been eager to use the vocal sample in "Proper" for over 10 years now. It just worked out perfectly in this song. Working with Dion Timmer wasn't just fun, but also an easy process. This guy has a bright future ahead of him. Keep your eyes peeled for more music and I hope you enjoy this one!

Press Release – IGNT010
1. Agressor Bunx - Magic Clock
2. Agressor Bunx - The Suffering

The famous duo Agressor Bunx are back, bringing with them the slick, neuro infused basslines which saw their meteoric climb to the top over the past two years. After being discovered amongst the explosion of newcomers who've come through across the scene recently, Agressor Bunx have stood the test and time after time drop some of the nastiest cuts which have been premiered in sets throughout Europe. And welcoming them back is Ignescent, a label who've certainly been making themselves felt this year and who will continue to do so by releasing music of the same calibre.

This next single has been greatly anticipated not just by fans of Agressor Bunx, but also by the wider drum & bass community. Already doing damage on the decks, ‘Magic Clock' and ‘The Suffering' have made the rounds recently and continue to cause destruction to every crowd they're played across.

‘Magic Clock' begins with ominous ticking, drawing itself out for a climatic drop. Rolling out on intimidating atmospherics and drums which eerily sift their way through the mix and become more prominent as the track progresses, Agressor Bunx creating a perfectly foreboding intro. It's not long before all-out chaos ensures, with a bass that cuts through the composition aggressively and pounding drum loops crashing at every angle. The producers have once again catapulted you into their world, a place renowned its chaotic soundscape.

‘The Suffering' comes next, winding up on softly elevating pads which juxtapose its metallic, clattering percussion and slow descent into anarchy. The track then lifts itself into minimal waters, drawing out on a succession of flying beats and pitched up bass to create a disjointed, dystopian feel. Agressor Bunx switch the vibe for ‘The Suffering', an understated but still aggressive, terrifying force. A ricocheting hook snaps up between its layers, helping to drive the record forward and proving that Agressor Bunx can create a catchy rhythm which still scratches deeper with every twist.

Alongside Agressor Bunx, Ignescent are taking you along for their progressive rise to the top. And it's an ascent which doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.

Review:

Agro - or Mr Aggravation if we're going to be all formal - returns to DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict with a walloping all-style five-tracker. Ranging from deeper, classically informed jungle shock-outs like "Bust Dis Ting" to creepy, toxic groaning rollers such as the Serum-style "Teasin'" and the loose-pants Full Cyclist wobbler "Culture", once again Agro is cooking up some truly authentic flavours that will work across both the jungle and jumpier sides of the dance. And that's before we even get to the killer remixes. Addictive. As always.

Sustance returns to Dispatch LTD with his 2nd full release – following huge support on his debut The Allow (It) EP, he is back in August with the ‘Shiv EP’.

Wasting no time at all, the Londoner is rapidly building up a strong reputation for his razor sharp productions and stripped back minimal grooves, equipped with unmistakably weighty low ends that test any discerning sound system.

His sophomore EP with us includes four tracks; also featuring lyrics from host Gusto on ‘Vacuum’, Sustance perfectly demonstrates the impact of simplicity in executing an idea, with zero superfluous elements detracting from the vibe.

With two superb EPs in quick succession, Sustance is on a serious roll in 2017.

Release dates: 7th of August 2017 via our website and bandcamp pages, 11th of August via all other stores, links to preview, buy or stream are below:

Infallible drum work is backed up by technical whirrs, teasing and battling to break out, but always magnetising towards the groove, whatever the outcome. 
 
We proudly welcome Mindmapper & Silvahfonk with an impressive first release on the label.

Early release of Mindmapper & Silvahfonk's 'Convection EP' is available from 28/08/2017 (ahead of general release) here:

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.
