MC Fokus and Medic MC continue their exciting new project, X Bar Theory. The next chapter in this ever-developing series is their debut EP. This new collaborative alias fully represents their love for the art form of MCing. Their distinct and uniquely different styles contrast and perfectly complement each other. 

Forming a complete group with a hand-picked unit of DJs and producers, they aim to preserve and respect the culture with a passion for putting lyricism at the forefront of the music. Each track illustrates their journey through music, particularly as lyricists. 

'Style & Substance' is aimed directly at the dancefloor - the Trex produced original and club mix, showcase their varied styles, flows and rhyming patterns. 

'Double Life' details the challeges of managing working life whilst building music careers - late nights, no sleep and lots of driving. Splitting the tune into two distinct parts, Subtle Element reflects the change in pre and post-rave story as the beat patterns switch. 

'Animated Verses' brings the lyrics to life, lighting up pages with words and fully representing their love of the half-time beats supplied by AM94 (previously known as Test Switch). 

'No Empty Words' takes their half-time journey deeper whilst detailing their creative process, one for the real fans of lyricism. Working in harmony with Fearetical and championing fresh production talent.

A lover of the drum n bass sounds from the rolling basslines to the dark n heavy neuro, i love most of it :) Throw in some psychedelic influences from full-on psytrance to progressive to the sexy downtempo psydub and you have most of my flavours in one basket

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.

Causing mischief in every form possible, Grimmlin searches high and low for sounds forgotten and unheard. Weaving his way through crunchy snares, soul-sucking subs, and all the dark mutations present in dnb, it makes for a deep and intense journey that is as alien as it is familiar. 

Catch him tilting windmills and ripping beats from the underground every other Wednesday on Bassfreq Radio, and throughout southern California in various venues and formats.
