Wreckless returns to Dispatch Limited with another impressive EP. Five varied, tough tracks with serious bass lines and infectious, rolling grooves. Wreckless once again takes the listener on a journey through the soundscape of each track, covering heavier, dance-floor territory matched with his trademark atmospherics.

The title track ‘Mind, Body, Spirit’ is inspired by the Oscar Wilde quote “Everything in moderation, including moderation” which guided Wreckless’ production process. ‘Prayers for Leaders’ aims to remind us that wisdom and guidance are needed for everyone, even if we don’t agree on political views.

‘Lungs’ is a sonic experiment focusing on the breaths in between vocals, making these the focus. A reminder that the real groove is in the gaps between. On ‘Soho’ Wreckless endeavoured to keep his production as clean as possible; after hearing a friend’s tunes in a post-production studio in Soho and wanting to achieve the same results.

‘Assam’ is an exploration of the drones which feature heavily in Indian music, and takes notable inspiration from the Beatle’s output during their Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s period. For the Dispatch exclusive track, Wreckless adds the Spirit to this EP, with a pattern inspired by the Ichthys symbol of his faith.

Wreckless - Lungs - DISLTD098 (OUT NOW)

Genreless, genderless, limitless… Ghost Hardware has served up the biggest mix we’ve had so far in the 1 More Mix series. 

A wild ride that flexes creatively from 120 – 170, taking in everything from breaks to jungle, techno to grime, dubstep to house, the London artist has been waiting to put out a sonic statement like this since they first emerged as an artist four years ago in 2019. And trust us; they’ve gone IN. 

It’s a mix of Essential proportions and it resonates with everything 1 More Thing stands musically and ethically. We covered Ghost Hardware’s No Reality label quite extensively last year when it launched. A label, movement and experience that they explained at the time was inspired and motivated by “blurring the lines between realism, surrealism, light, dark, fiction and non-fiction.” 

Find out more about this mix, No Reality Music and the boss Ghost Hardware as they share their story and perspective in this extensive interview: https://1-more-thing.co.uk/audio/1-more-mix-055-ghost-hardware/

Getting to know Outline Audio: Run by Leeds-based artist R.U.M, the label launched in December 2022 but was in the incubation, planning and curation stages for a good year before he pressed the button and presented it to the world.

Rather than hurtle out heaps of releases instantly, Outline Audio has only dropped two EPs so far. Operating on a less-is-more, quality-over-quantity mindset, R.U.M's vision is to celebrate each release and put as much as value into the music as possible. 

With a view to strictly putting out tracks that stand the test of time and don’t flex on bandwagon hype or trends, in his own words R.U.M explains how each release belongs to the artist and the label is merely a vehicle to bring the music into the world.

So far the vehicle is purring with sleek efficiency. The first release dropped December last year. A VA EP featuring Objectiv, Nooch, Resslek and R.U.M himself, it mapped out the parameters of the label’s deep, dark, minimal methods in style. Giving the EP space to breathe, last week saw Outline update the discog with their second release, this time focusing on one artist: Illament's Cold Guys EP.

Adding weight and momentum as the label slowly but surely puts down firm roots for the long game, Illament's release is another exceptional release... And plenty more is in store in the future.

For a flavour of Outline's take on the future, R.U.M has laid down this mix comprising multiple unreleased jams from the label plus a hefty wedge of summer persies to fit the season. Press play, read on, get to know in this exclusive interview: https://1-more-thing.co.uk/interviews/the-rise-of-outline-audio/
