2. Arcane - Execute

Ben Soundscape marks his return to Dispatch with an EP fuelled by nostalgia and innovation - four tracks inspired by retro TV and 90s drum and bass, including a collab with liquid veteran Addiction.

Inspired by a beloved TV show from Ben Soundscapes youth, 'Shapeshift' kicks off the EP with a minimal, sub-heavy track with a modern twist, that creates space without sacrificing impact. The clever mixing of dialogue and atmospherics from cherished shows runs throughout the EP. 'You're Finished' features samples from the same show, seamlessly woven into the track's edgy atmosphere, the rhythm of the dialogue complements flowing throughout. 'Skars' draws inspiration from a comedy classic.

'Burnout' completes the EP, a collaboration with Addiction birthed during the COVID lockdowns, standing testament to old-school vibes fused with contemporary energy. Expect thrashing breaks and distorted basslines.

Trex - Window

Recorded live at Wire's last-ever DNB party, this set is pretty special to me. As a home for the best underground music in Leeds, this little basement has been the epicentre of Leeds' drum and bass history. Host to D.O.P.E in the club's earlier guise as Cafe Mex during the late 90s, it even broadcast legendary sets live on Radio 1's 1 in the Jungle show. It was the birthplace of Ant TC1's legendary Momentum sessions during its time as Think Tank, before undergoing its makeover into Wire where it welcomed Central Beatz, Radio Frequency, Overflow and many many more well-loved parties during the early days of dubstep, via UK Funky, Bass music and the incredible Hessle Audio and Rufige shows - with too many names and nights to mention, Wire will always be an unforgettable space. 

I had the great privilege of opening the night, with an hour-long set celebrating Momentum, where I formed lifelong friendships and built my career from having fun with like-minded people dancing to great music. 

I selected some of my fave soulful dnb tunes from the period, with special mention and solid inspiration from 3rd Generation Digital and MC JC, who would always open proceedings with showcases of the burgeoning golden era of liquid drum and Bass

Presenting an hour of massive tunes that I wouldn't usually combine, mixed with wide-eyed enthusiasm and love, interrupted by so many old faces invading the booth to say hi and share their excitement, that you might have to excuse the odd mix left in too long or cut out too quickly. It was such an emotional evening, as you might be able to pick up from the crowd noise still present on the mic. With a dancefloor full of proper heads, ready to go from early and even an unexpected reload before 11pm! Big shouts to my sparring partner LD for hosting and everyone who came down early to make it the night it was. 

A huge thanks to everyone who ever worked in, partied at, promoted a night or simply lost themselves to the music at our favourite space, Wire.

Stressed Out is about facing big deadlines, about the gaps and space being as important as the tear out sections; a tune to sympathise with the erratic madness that is 'meeting deadlines’.

Sometimes it seems that people are looking at the world through the lens that craves ground shattering, earth-quaking emotion. More often than not, life happens in the detail, the day-to-day, the whispers, the smallest things that mean the most. A love song for the people who know that love is about work and time. 'Earthquakes and Whispers' is appreciating the smaller details, cherishing their importance.

Movement Across the Water is about still moments which can be equally beautiful and destructive, just like a placid lake - beautiful when it is still, but deadly when covered in ice.

Late Night Driving is street lights, high-rise buildings, dilapidated flats, pirate radio, urban decay, architecture, and bleakness. One for the 6 am heads that have just left the rave, it is still dark but dawn is breaking, the little arpeggiator lines are like the light just beginning to show. This one is about London, about driving home from raves. The final chord on this track is a tribute to ravers who stay to the end of the night.

April, a collaboration with Necrobia, took four April's to complete. Letting the percussion do the talking, the rides dancing with the bassline.

Expectant uses a classic EMS VCS3 synth. This track is a montage of an 8-hour session recording it.. The awkward groove pays respect to the less controllable nature of analogue, similar to how things might not go exactly as we planned in life but it is important to keep trusting we are on the right path.

EXIT083: Skeptical- Mechanism

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 has only furthered 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. 

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 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 appearance for DJ Friction on his BBC 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, Tel-Aviv to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK and EU wide.

Fast forward to 2017 and Ant is now responsible for the label management roles of both Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings. Having released numerous compilation series on Dispatch, the hugely successful “Transit One” & “Transit Two” albums (topping almost all the usual stores weekly dance music sales charts across all formats) and the more recent milestone ‘Dispatch 100’, the label features a fine list of consistently quality music from the likes of DLR, Break, Survival & Silent Witness, Marcus Intalex, Klute, Nymfo, AI, Zero T, Cern, Dabs, Skeptical, Dub Phizix, himself (and many more). Ant has remixed material for the likes of Cern & Dabs, Sunchase, Quadrant & Iris, Friske, Nymfo as well as having his own solo work remixed by Xtrah along with working on further collabs alongside the likes of Survival, Dauntless and DLR.

Ant is also the head of Artist Management at both Outlook & Dimensions Festivals, playing a pivotal role in bringing consistently strong Drum & Bass acts to the Croatia every year, earning back to back 2013 & 2014 “Best Festival” accolades in both the Festival Awards & the Drum & Bass Arena annual awards.
