Hydro Mix - January 2024 - Utopia Music takeover on SWU.FM

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 Octophantelepus

In the deepest trench of the Bassquarium stirs the Octophantelepus, a colossal hybrid born from bass pressure itself. An octopus with the head of an elephant, it trumpets sub-bass blasts that shake entire reefs into syncopation. Its eight vast tentacles weave Amen breaks in impossible polyrhythms, tangling time signatures like seaweed in the current.

Legend says the Octophantelepus surfaces only during the most euphoric raves, when the dancefloor is drenched in sweat and the decks threaten to collapse. When it emerges, junglists feel the pull of its tidal rhythm, sucked into its whirlpool of rolling breaks and hypnotic basslines.

Some claim its eyes are ancient vinyl, spinning grooves of forgotten dubplates. Others swear its inky clouds are pure reverb tails, spilling endlessly into the cosmic sea.

The Wobblefish revere it as their elder, and even the bravest Skankonauts tread lightly near its lair. For if you hear the Octophantelepus drop, you are no longer a dancer—you are part of the reef.

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.
