GEST(@gest_dnb) have been turning heads in drum & bass for their masterful hold of versatility – able to produce some of the most impactful dancefloor-orientated underground hitters whilst simultaneously skilled in writing smooth rollers dripped in soul. A rejuvenated name to match a rejuvenated sound, the duo previously known as Gerra & Stone have quickly commanded support from some of the biggest names in the scene from only a handful of releases, with DJ Marky, Doc Scott and BBC Radio 1’s Rene LaVice all ear-marking the pair’s productions for their tracklists. With 2021 set to be their most prolific year yet, GEST have forged their own melting pot of sounds - inspired by Detroit techno and acid house - that is swiftly winning favour and carving out their own path within drum & bass.

We are excited having them being a part of our headline this year and can’t wait to experience their incredible live vibes together with all of you during Membrain Festival 2021!

Back on Dispatch following 2019's Sub Rosa’ and ‘Orbital’ EPs, Ben England aka Natural Forces delivers the stunning ‘Sense Memory EP’. Formerly one half of dnb production duo Basic Unit, his output as Natural Forces takes a much deeper and reflective tone – exploring minimal liquid sounds, packed with the type of progression and intricate details that make his music a perfect fit for Dispatch Recordings.

Title track ‘Sense Memory’ is a reflective, minimal stepper built around filtered vocals and classic liquid funk elements. Reminiscent of that early Creative Source sound, this one almost sounds straight from the dancefloors of Swerve.

Guiding things into tougher territory throughout the EP, Native Elements shows he knows how to work a bass synth just right, from the rolling ‘Birthright’ to the abstract jazz fused jungle drums of ‘Genesis’ via the heavy-hitting ‘Identity’. As the experimental track ‘Downwards’ rolls out, the snarling bass and off-key synth lead the listener deeper. The final track, ‘Lower Decks’, sees Natural Forces in full choppage mode, with precision edits and drumfunk-esque chops completing the EP with a heavyweight banger.

Black Barrel began his journey under the banners of Dispatch, with his first album on the label a defining part of his rise as an artist. The Russian native has since proven his weight. And following a host of Eps and his debut album ‘Last Frontier’ in 2018, he’s now firmly established himself from newcomer to a frequent part of set lists across the drum & bass genre. This is set to continue with his brand-new LP, which is about debut once again on Dispatch, with Black Barrel making new ground and building on the platform he created with the label’s encouragement three years prior.

The album entitled ‘Just Keep My Life’ which is due to drop this September from Black Barrel sees him grow his production repertoire and dip into uncharted territories, proving that he’s not yet finished evolving his artistry. The album begins with ‘More Love’, introducing you to the vibrant tones of Black Barrel’s production, which rolls perfectly into the laid-back sounds of title-track ‘Just Keep My Life’. ‘It’s So Crazy’ pulls you through next, submerging you in its layers, as the breaks of ‘Bad Trip’ adds a bite to the track list. ‘Nothing New’ with MC Fokus keeps up the darker undertones, whilst Ivax and Astraoum join Black Barrel next for ‘Fortune’. The expansive atmospherics of ‘Four Walls’ and ‘Arina’s Song’ with its lush rhythms add more textures to the LP. Meanwhile, ‘Never Been True’ and ‘3 Million Dollars’ takes the listener back to Black Barrel’s earlier offerings. ‘Gonna Be’ with [KSR] is the penultimate delivery as last collaborators Future Engineers close the album with ‘Beyond’. It encapsulates how Black Barrel has grown, which has seen him take influence from some of the scene’s greatest players.

‘Just Keep My Life’ wraps up another album from Black Barrel and one which will stand as another rung in the ladder towards the producers rise as a face renowned worldwide within drum & bass. With help from Dispatch, his presence has been felt across clubs and set lists worldwide from his homeland Russia, as well as China, New Zealand, Croatia and last but not least widely across the UK, proving the label’s ear for talent once again.

'The Music is my Life LP' tells the story of 14 years of dedication to drum and bass production. Dunk's debut LP is the result of many months of non-stop work, living and breathing the music - for the first time feeling he was able to deliver his musical vision in full.

Originating from São Paulo, Brazil, Dunk is one-half of the world-renowned Jam Thieves. He may be a new name to some, but he is no stranger to producing heavy drum and bass flows which push any sound system to its limit.

Working with complete artistic freedom in partnership with the label, Dunk was able to deliver on his dream of releasing a full-length drum and bass album, encapsulating his love for the music and the many varied styles it represents.

The entire album was mastered by the legendary Teebee at Black Science Labs. Dunk was delighted to receive a call from the man himself offering his full support and congratulating him on the strength of his production. A testament indeed to the Brazilian's talents.

We are proud to present this spectacular debut LP - 'The Music is my Life', landing in all online stores this October.
