It's got the funk fam - Respects guys - T

Future Jungle

It's a special occasion at Architecture when one of the labels core artists returns to the fold with new music.  The Original Dreadlock Warrior, 4 Horsemen Chief, and legendary DJ - The Grim Reaper: Loxy.   Undisputedly respected across the D&B scene as one of the most stand alone, ground breaking  DJ's, Loxy's reputation  as a key taste maker and champion of new sounds and artists is recognized worldwide.  His pedigree as a producer is well documented as well, his "Rufige" sound influencing  a legion of artist's under him.  Here Loxy returns to right hand man Ink's imprint with four cuts of trademark warrior dub, forward leaning Drum & Bass.

"White Lotus" intro's with Samurai battle drums,  pouring rain, sword sweeps and Japanese wood winds creating an immersive sonic image of the Shogun period.  A Brief silence sets up the massive natty  bass line, while choice jungle breaks swap in and out over the main tribal drum bed.  Classic Loxy!
Title track "The Author" see's Loxy teaming up with fellow Hardware and Exit  alum Genotype to take matters into deep, low slung territory.  Hypnotic kick drums, eerie sounds, dub effects and a vicious, gurgling bass line combine to icy, spine tingling effect.
on "Righteous Path" Loxy and Genotype build sublime arpeggio skanks, tribal percussion, tape delay vocals and a vintage sounding Sly & Robbie bass line with marching woodblocks and selector effects creating another stellar piece of 170 bpm future Dubwise to add to Loxy's long standing catalog of similarly influenced productions.

"Cold Crush" features Loxy and Genotype bringing Mortem into the studio with them for some early morning, refresher dubwise.  Utilizing a steppers drum bed and system crushing low end growl, replete with reverberated rim shots, cowbells and uplifting atmospherics and melody.  An expertly crafted piece of Speed Era Jungle referenced with a distinctively current approach.
With this EP, Loxy's continues to press forward with his brand of Drum & Bass, encompassing core elements of Jungle but always with a progressive future edge, exactly the reason why he remains one of the most consistently fresh and exciting DJ's and Producers in the genre year after year.

Machine Code Feat Coppa "Urban Drum" (Ad Noiseam 181)

10 years ago, Canadian veteran RMS flew down to headline a show in Chicago alongside American drum and bass OG Jaybee. Discovering a shared background in hip-hop and turntablism, a friendship was sparked that led to a decade long creative partnership. That initial weekend long studio session in a freezing Chicago basement turned into years of online collaboration from this pair of producers who take huge influence from the late 90s era dnb. 

When RMS & Jaybee submitted their initial demos to Dispatch Recordings it was immediate that they would be the perfect artists for the Dispatch Blueprints series, which it celebrates the heritage sound of drum and bass. Blueprint 1 and 2 have been carefully crafted over several years and represent some of the pair’s best work to date. Whilst the flavour of each producer can be heard throughout each track, their styles gel to create a unique sound that elevates their music to new levels.

With these first two EPs, their music has found the perfect home and we're proud to present this exceptional pair of debut releases for Dispatch.

Between The Gap EP

EIJER - Nebulous

A jungle anthem, reborn.

It’s been an astonishing 33 years since 'Terminator' first landed, a seismic moment in music history that reprogrammed the very DNA of Jungle Drum & Bass. Goldie’s future shock masterpiece didn’t just break the mould, it melted it into liquid metal.

Three decades on, the legacy still echoes. And now, the anthem returns...

Formerly known as B-Plexx, we're delighted to welcome Drex174 to Metalheadz for a bold new chapter in a career that already spans more than a decade.

Following a break from music, the UK producer submitted a five-track demo to the label - all of which were signed immediately, with Goldie personally calling to welcome him aboard. There's a clear sense of personal evolution across the EP, blending classic Metalheadz influences with a modern, forward-thinking edge.

Drex174's arrival on the label is both a milestone and a statement of intent - and we're excited to see what comes next.

With ADE looming on the horizon, it only seemed apt for Ram to yet again provide the perfect drum and bass entrée for Europe’s premium dance event. Set to bring another stellar line up from their roster, this compilation packed full of exclusives helps to epitomise the imprint’s legacy within dance music. Including brand new cuts, demonstrating the Ram’s longevity, this album plays homage to two decades of output. 

Leading you deeper into the dark side of 2015, this year’s Ramsterdam compilation not only pedestals the artists who’ve made such a titanic impact throughout the last ten months, but also the emerging talent from sister label Program and Ram’s newest signees. Whether it’s the old school, growling riddim from Aggressor Bunx, or Calyx & TeeBee’s tell-tale, trembling bassline, each track gives the album a unique vantage point.

Featuring on the collosal track listing is Delta Heavy; an exclusive which relays their elevating, pumping composition, it’s a dancefloor banger sure to detonate any crowd. And Frankee also makes a welcomed return, following the release of his anticipated single ‘Downtown’. ‘Raptor’ is unforgiving, snapped up by different animalistic samples and stridently aggressive – pedestalling Frankee’s unforgiving production standards.

On a totally different vibe, Freek is back with ‘Born Different’, a clanking yet powerful number, one which gears up into LFO-lead chaos with snapping percussion between each break. Brand new music from production outfits Teddy Killerz and Mind Vortex also make a very valuable addition, proving their unbridled talent, with merciless yet complex records that are fierce and gagging to be let loose on Amsterdam’s clubs.  

Two of this year’s most resounding tracks from the Ram camp, Bensley’s ‘Aftermath’ and Gerra & Stone’s ‘L.I.E.S.’ have also received revamps, providing two anticipated VIPs already igniting sets worldwide. Loadstar also deliver the goods; brand new heavy-hitter ‘Dune’ demonstrates exactly why they’ve become such revered names across the genre.

So, here’s to another Amsterdam Dance Event. One with a soundtrack provided by one of the most enduring labels, and stellar rosters, that dance music has played host to. And with Ram also holding a night this October, from first listen onwards prepare to be immerse yourself in Ram’s vast musical environment.

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.
