Goldie Vs Friske - Hyena 24K

For the next instalment of the Dispatch Limited series Kumarachi presents an EP written over several years, featuring his killer solo productions alongside collaborations with Ant TC1, NC-17, RMS, and Madrush MC.
 
The “Seek Emotion EP” forms the first release on Dispatch with Kumarachi as the lead artist, fans of the label will be familiar with his previous work with NC-17 from the “Most Violent Year” LP series and their Dispatch Blueprints release. Kumarachi has been making waves for many years with solo releases on labels like Critical, Deep In The Jungle, Nuusic, Audio Addict, Delta9, Skankandbass and Drum & Bass Arena.
 
Using a combination of software and analogue equipment to give his music that human touch, Kumarachi makes great use of external FX units and his analogue desk to add the warmth that runs throughout each of his productions. This varied EP delivers punchy drums and unavoidable funk throughout, giving each track that progressive depth and textured, rolling energy that encapsulates the Dispatch Limited sound.

The next instalment of the Dispatch Blueprints series sees the welcome return of Survival to the Dispatch Recordings camp. As an artist with a musical career spanning 20 years, he will be well known to fans of Dispatch with his music forming a huge part of the back catalogue. 

These two tracks go seriously deep, channelling the mid-90s with lush soundscapes and crisp jungle drums. The bright opening synths of "No One" build throughout the track, contrasting with tough, precision drum work, filtered edits and nostalgic vocal samples, leading us on an epic voyage through some serious old-school energy. "The Flavour" takes things deeper for a blissed-out reflective journey that rolls out just right.

The formidable duo of Seba & Paradox return to Metalheadz, more than 5 years after their first collaborative release on the label.

Both artists are prolific in their own right, each with their own distinctive signature sound that they have managed to seamlessly combine, resulting in truly first-class drum and bass. This latest offering is no exception as Metalheadz present both 'Cypher' and 'Orlean' to the world, another masterclass from Seba & Paradox.

Old school

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.
