Talkre (pronounced Talker) is back with another great EP. Following on from the 'Isolation EP' on Dispatch earlier this year, DIS140 is his Dispatch Recordings debut with the 'Tannhauser Gate EP'.

This EP takes its name from the last words of Roy Batty, lead renegade replicant in Blade Runner. The track itself was built using a late 70s Yamaha CS-50 synth, the little brother of the CS-80 used by Vangelis to score the cult film.

5 tracks of cinematic, futuristic soundscapes lovingly crafted in his trademark style. Talkre is one name you're going to be hearing a lot more this year.

Elli San aka D-Vine
Elli San, also known as D-Vine, began her musical journey in 1996 as the only female DJ and producer on the pioneering German label Risk Industrees – a crew that brought Oldschool Breakbeats, Drum & Bass, Breaks, and Nu Skool into the spotlight in mid-90s Karlsruhe. Her mentor? The infamous DEX DEXTA, one of the label’s founding minds.
She made her official DJ debut in 1998 with the party series "Planet Drum&Bass" at the legendary Carambolage club, alongside DJ Destiny and DJ Soulsurfer from Mannheim. From there, she became a resident in venues like Stockwerk, Etage, Gotec, Kulturruine, Kramladen (Beat Club) in Kaiserslautern, and Die Röhre in Stuttgart. Her sets took her across cities like Mannheim, Heidelberg, Cologne, Stuttgart, and Paris.
In 2007, she moved to Okinawa, Japan, earning a residency at the island’s oldest electronic club and becoming part of the Raw Fusion Crew. She also had the honor of playing in Hiroshima with the SleepyEye Crew.
D-Vine has been featured on renowned radio shows such as: 🎧 www.Bassdrive.com 🎧 www.Koollondon.com 🎧 www.baesse.de 🎧 www.rdu.org.nz/shows/ghetto-electric-sessions
With deep roots in vinyl culture, D-Vine is an “old school” DJ with a forward-thinking spirit – equally at home on the decks and in the studio. She moves fluidly through Drum & Bass, Breakz, Trip Hop, and House, always guided by feeling and flow.
Now a certified audio engineer and co-founder of FreqShack Studio, she crafts sound not just for the dancefloor – but for the soul.

Hello there, I'm Renny. I've got a personal, fine selected style, made of the different drum and bass genres and subgenres. I grew up with this music and I love D&B. I'm a visual artist. You can see my work here on the web:

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.

Over the years has played alongside some of the greatest DJs in the world from Carl Cox to Afrika Bambaataa.
