The EP opens finding Codename regular NonRev in great form with ‘Tapes’, where gorgeous keys and deep strings entwine with rolling breaks and evocative vocals. This is a great 2024 opener for this talented artist who will be featuring heavily on the label throughout the year.

Arcologies has been an artist we have long been keen to feature on the label, and he moves things into a deeper direction with his debut track ‘Starless Night’, a beautiful deep roller with dreamlike qualities which instantly transport you to another place and realm – destination uncertain.

Another debutant, the talented Data B makes his first appearance with ‘Cocktail’, with deep pads and deep key tones sitting alongside its rumbling bass and rolling breaks.

The EP closes with Fortune & Chance’s ‘Enchant Code’, with haunting guitars and vocals dovetailing with rolling synth basslines, bringing the release and the series to a close beautifully.

Data B - Cocktail

Cranky Frank (Patreon Exclusive)

Ten years deep and still levelling up. RMS & Jaybee Drum & Bass partnership was born in a freezing Chicago basement, sparked by a weekend session and a shared love of hip-hop, turntablism, and that gritty late-90s Drum & Bass flavour. Fast forward a decade, and this transatlantic tag team is rolling out not one, but two stone-cold heaters on Dispatch Recordings as part of the label’s heritage-focused 'Dispatch Blueprints' series.

'Blueprint 1' and 'Blueprint 2' are straight-up masterclasses in stripped-back funk, raw drum edits, and heavyweight basslines built to pressure dark rooms and concrete floors. This is where smoky jazz licks meet gully subs. Where old-school sensibilities flex with modern weight. Where both producers’ distinct sounds melt into something that feels as timeless as it is fresh.

With a back catalogue already respected by heads across the scene, these EPs feel like a peak moment. No gimmicks. No filler. Just pure, heads-down business. You can hear the depth of the collab in every tune. From the snap of the snares to the hypnotic low-end, it’s clear this has been brewed over years, not months.

RMS, the Canadian veteran with deep roots in atmospheric rollers. Jaybee, the Florida-born selector with a reputation for razor-sharp breaks and stateside swagger. Together, they’ve found a groove that’s both nostalgic and next level.

These are tunes built for low-ceiling basements, long sets, and those sweaty 4am warehouse rewinds. A true fit for the Dispatch Blueprints ethos and an essential pickup for any DJ with taste.

Blueprint 1 and Blueprint 2 drop via 3 track digital release and also as super limited edition 10" lathe-cut dubplates.

RMS & Jaybee 'EZ Now' [Dispatch Blueprints]

Follow Bruises: https://soundcloud.com/bruisesdnb

Bruises, the collaborative alias of Ingot and Draize, make a hell of a mark on HSR with the Cogs EP. The duo, out of the Lost Recordings camp, marks a significant moment for Heavy Sonics, being the 20th release to showcase the label’s continued commitment to deep, forward-thinking underground drum & bass.

Bruises deliver a masterclass in minimal, tech-driven sonics, every element stripped back to industrial grade for maximum impact.

Cogs, the title track, sets the tone immediately: an ominous atmosphere gives way to a mechanical groove laced with gritty bass textures and industrial stabs. It's dark, unrelenting, and full of subtle left turns. A proper introduction to Bruises’ refined sound palette.

Menace is aptly named. The haunting vocal that creeps through the intro sets a chilling tone before it drops into precision-engineered drums and weighty sub pressure. It grows and mutates with intricate percussive bursts that keep the energy taut and evolving.

Penance takes things deeper still, opening with an eerie ambience that hints at something just out of reach. It's hypnotic and steady, bolstered by a big snare and ghostly FX. It’s a track that rewards close listening while still hitting hard on a system. Pure journey material.

Closing things out is Stratagies, a standout moment and an apparent favourite among the Heavy Sonics crew. With a dramatic build and an old-school Ulterior Motive vibe, this one's primed for dancefloor destruction. The groove is infectious, and the sound design is immaculate. A high-energy payoff to a masterful four-track EP.

Big up Bruises, they've absolutely smashed this one! Essential for fans of: Skeptical, Alix Perez, Ulterior Motive, and the deeper edges of 170.
