Since their first release for Dispatch in 2019, Genic have gone from strength to strength. With multiple releases and features for Dispatch alongside releases for Sauce Recordings, Sofa Sound and Dutty Audio, the Genic sound continues to evolve.

Two years since their debut album "Rough Nights", the full-length follow-up reflects their growth as artists and reinforces their unique take on the genre. Their sophomore LP, "Process" is packed with filtered funk and that classic Genic sound, but also reveals a deeper, more melodic side to their production.

This 11-track masterpiece includes a stellar collaboration with the celebrated MC, Fokus, adding another layer of dynamism to their already impressive repertoire.

Genic - Endurance [Dispatch Recordings]

It's a known fact that music producers (especially those hailing from the magical land of Drum & Bass), at their core are just strange, weird nerds that hide away with very little sunlight in order to create noises that somehow make sense in the context of a song. 

Another word for these people is 'FREQS'.....

Truth Hertz presents their first VA series: FREQS Vol.1 - this is an exclusive feature of Kalane's superb track taken from the compilation.

An international collaboration instigated by Park Shadow, began when he shared the stems for the ominous "Puppet Regime" with Jesta, who worked his magic and vocal samples into the mix. Jesta returned the favour with "Zesty Mordant" as Park Shadow added his flavour to this Trailer Park Boys referencing heater.

Rising talent Stokka has been making waves within the drum and bass scene for several years, with releases on Flexout, Trust Audio, Sine Music and also as the co-owner of the Exeter based dnbkitchen parties. 

Here he delivers his own take on Screamarts rolling, head-nodder “Prodigy”, with a stripped back two-stepper that packs a reworked bassline and infectious drum work - taking the track in his own direction whilst retaining the flavour of the original. A stand-out track from 2024’s Outlook Boat party, this one is a guaranteed crowd favourite.

Releases 11th September 2024 on Dispatch Recordings.

To this day Mortlock & Universal Project's 'Broken Silence' album still stands as a favourite LP for many. Previously unavailable in a digital format, Dispatch Recordings is proud to present a new twist on an all-time classic drum & bass album including new bonus material. Each track sounds superb, thanks to the glossy, modernised 2024 mastering work from Haden at Height Mastering.
 
In the early 2000s Mortlock was part of Vicious Circle and dropped one of their first demos through the door of Universal Project's flat. By surprise, this led to their first release on Renegade Hardware - a remix of the Universal Project track 'Jackhammer'. This connection would continue to be creative with Mortlock eventually moving into that same flat with Universal Project, where the legendary 'Rollers Convention' would form the first track from this album. Aiming to encapsulate the full range of styles that had inspired them during those furtive years, the album reflects their diverse influences with nods to everything from high melodics to tearout filth. All whilst still maintaining the essence of their sounds - which is to always keep it rolling.
 
A lesson in rollers in the original sense, this is a firm favourite release for Ant TC1 who has led the 2 year album curation process as a fan first and foremost - it embodies raw breakbeat-driven tech-funk with heavy percussive 2-step and unique soundscapes for that unique Siren Records sound. Now complete with additional tracks, plus singles from the Siren catalogue.

Please let me know if you would like to feature any of the tracks as a premiere or speak to the artists for an interview or feature. I'm looking to host premieres and features from 16th September onwards.

Black Barrel may be known for his ability to craft dancefloor-focused smashers packed with infectious grooves, but, when he digs deep, few others manage to include the emotion and passion this talented producer creates.

The 'Change Your Mind EP' contains four intoxicating odes to the deeper side of jungle breaks, filled with warmth and infatuation. Blissed-out rollers that match rude-boy breaks with sweetheart sentiments, equal parts heavy and light. The Russian Maestro does it again.

'Prisma' is a sonic journey that explores the interplay between light and dark, breaking down the many nuances of drum and bass into a vibrant palette of transformative sound. Inspired by how a prism disperses light, each track reveals a distinct dimension, from high-energy bursts to more introspective soundscapes.

On a spiritual level, 'Prisma' symbolizes clarity, balance, and personal transformation. Just as a prism transforms white light into a multi-coloured spectrum, this album seeks to transform the listener's emotions and experiences into a deep dive, encompassing all the colours of the soul. Powerful bass lines and immersive atmospheres guide the listener through a journey of purification, balance, and connection, creating a harmonious space where the divine and the earthly meet. Each track reflects the diversity of sound and music's ability to convey both light and shadow, always maintaining a perfect balance between the ethereal and the raw, the melodic and the visceral.

Additionally, 'Prisma' is influenced by Latin American rhythmic patterns such as salsa, cumbia, vallenato, and carranga, albeit indirectly, avoiding the common use of sampling well-known instruments or songs. The influence manifests itself more in the rhythms and beats than in traditional sonic elements, giving the album a distinctive and deep character.

With 13 tracks in total, the album encompasses a variety of styles including drum and bass, jungle, dubstep, breakbeat, and ambient. Two key collaborations stand out: one with Russian producer Kelayx and another with Colombian producer Mad Complex. 

Created by Colombian-born producer and DJ Juan Aguilar, aka Brain, 'Prisma' marks his first full-length album release on Dispatch Recordings.

Blade is known for his explosive heavy amen rollers and captivating Jazz & Soul-infused beats. For the next instalment of the Dispatch Dubplate series this talented producer demonstrates his ability to fuse these contrasting influences with his love for the heritage sound of jungle drum and bass.

True to the ethos of the Dispatch Dubplate sub-label, this release is built around another in-demand dubplate, with 'Machete' forming the basis of this EP. A track that stood out in Ant TC1's post-COVID US tour with Doc Scott, the early Vedas master version caused maximum dancefloor impact with its classic AWOL era sound and raw lashy amen feel at 170bpm+.

Across 5 further tracks Blade digs deep and delivers another homage to the world of contemporary breakbeat.

For the next instalment of the Dispatch Limited series Kumarachi presents an EP written over several years, featuring his killer solo productions alongside collaborations with Ant TC1, NC-17, RMS, and Madrush MC.
 
The “Seek Emotion EP” forms the first release on Dispatch with Kumarachi as the lead artist, fans of the label will be familiar with his previous work with NC-17 from the “Most Violent Year” LP series and their Dispatch Blueprints release. Kumarachi has been making waves for many years with solo releases on labels like Critical, Deep In The Jungle, Nuusic, Audio Addict, Delta9, Skankandbass and Drum & Bass Arena.
 
Using a combination of software and analogue equipment to give his music that human touch, Kumarachi makes great use of external FX units and his analogue desk to add the warmth that runs throughout each of his productions. This varied EP delivers punchy drums and unavoidable funk throughout, giving each track that progressive depth and textured, rolling energy that encapsulates the Dispatch Limited sound.

Geostatic returns to Dispatch with the Losing Control EP—a deep, rolling exploration of emotion, movement, and collaborative synergy. Premiered on Austria’s FM4 and features across Rinse FM, Kool FM, and SWU, these four tracks have been working their way through Europe’s airwaves and dancefloors alike.

The title track “Losing Control” sets the tone with raw emotional energy, driven by haunting vocals and a locked-in groove that defines the EP’s core. “Reversed Destiny”, a standout collab with Acris, flips time and space with reversed motifs inspired by Tenet, fusing both artists’ styles into something truly unique. “Feral Funk”, built with Dub Ten, blends deep subs and percussive energy with a nod to classic UK roots—born on a train ride, refined into a roller. Closing things out, “Devotion” rides a soulful bassline and hypnotic shuffle, completing the EP’s journey with warmth and depth.

A varied but cohesive body of work, Losing Control EP captures Geostatic’s signature touch while pushing the edges of the Dispatch sound.

Label boss Ant TC1 first connected with Entita after hearing (and supporting) an impressive LFLF EP, later meeting him in person at a Dispatch night in Prague. What followed was a long but rewarding creative process, with ideas being traded back and forth, mixes refined, and even an additional track left on the cutting room floor. The result is an EP that feels both carefully considered and brimming with energy.

The EP captures that spirit across four weighty cuts, capturing exactly that balance between the classic Dispatch DNA and his forward-facing sound. From Entita’s razor-sharp solo cut to the collaborative efforts with Serpnt, Yatuza and Furious Freaks, the EP delivers both grit and groove in equal measure. Expect rolling basslines, intricate drumwork, and that unmistakable raw funk that feels both nostalgic and refreshing.

With its mix of solo identity and collaborative chemistry, Daily Routine EP reaffirms Dispatch’s commitment to deep, timeless, raw drum & bass – and marks Entita out as a name to watch.

After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.
