We begin the start of a new series at Dispatch Recordings, with the first instalment of the ‘History Remastered’ project. Covering the very early days of the label, from 2001-2003, we have remastered the work of original label founder Nos – one half of the Hidden Agenda duo, the other half, of course, being Max Fresh. Some of this material now made available digitally for the first time ever.

Dispatch Recordings was started by the Hidden Agenda brothers in 2001, with the first release being DIS004. Dispatch 1-3 were Hidden Agenda releases on Goldie’s seminal Metalheadz label, so Hidden Agenda continued the series via their own label Dispatch Recordings. Twenty years later, the time seemed perfect to revisit the label’s history and give a selection of the best tunes from the formative years a brand new remaster.

Nos continues the Hidden Agenda project via his own productions, following his brother Max Fresh’s untimely passing in 2016. Label owner and manager Ant TC1 has curated a selection of their very best work, the musical founding blocks of Dispatch given a timely, contemporary makeover. Lovingly remastered by the collective talents of all involved at Black Science Labs Mastering, Labmaster Mastering and AT Mastering.

Michael Blu Mar Ten comments on some of the components that go into making up a track like 'Close'.

If you'd like to ask him more questions about the track he can be reached at michael@blumarten.com.


<b>About Michael:</b>

Michael Tognarelli is one third of London production trio Blu Mar Ten.

Born in Manchester, UK, Michael spent his youth working in records shops alongside Marcus Intalex and Sappo, and formed an encyclopedic knowledge of dance music at a frighteningly early age.

After laying his hands on some gear to write music of his own, Michael moved to London in 2003 and linked up with Leo & Chris, the other two members of Blu Mar Ten.

Absorbed into the outfit Michael rapidly became the driving force behind Blu Mar Ten's production ethic and is responsible for consistently pushing the boundaries of the trio's engineering.

You can hear Michael's work on the Blu Mar Ten album, 'Natural History', available now on CD, MP3 and limited edition vinyl

Bristolian Stephen Redmore, known through his drum & bass alias Mako, is finally set to unleash his forthcoming LP on Metalheadz, something which he’s been working on behind the scenes for some time. The label head of Utopia is well known for his slick production and penchant for underground anthems, something which has been seen again and again on his own imprint, as well as across a plethora of labels which have acted as pillars for the drum & bass world. Having already made his presence felt before within the catalogue of Metalheadz, as well as Break’s Symmetry Recordings, Dispatch, Soul:R and Samurai Music, he’s a valuable part of the genre’s make up, which is why the announcement of his forthcoming LP ignited widespread anticipation.

Directly translated to ‘a body of art’, Mako’s LP ‘Oeuvre’ is representative of his life’s work in music production. The switching breaks of ‘Heartstone’, slamming, yet eerily hollowed snares of ‘Offline’ and grinding bassline of ‘Life Cycle’ alongside the late Andy Skopes, a testament to the legacy he left behind, set the tone. Meanwhile, Villem and Fields join Mako for the LP’s next collaboration ‘Liquid Groover’ before the emotive swelling build of ‘The Window’ gives way to a second drop beat switch up, continuing the journey. ‘Flip it’ has already been doing the club rounds, as the moody Photek atmospherics of ‘One Reality’ and more affectional twists of ‘Holding You’ adds to the tracklist’s versatility.

‘The Scenic Values’ underscores Mako’s love of Krust and Doc Scott production grooves, whilst the experimental soundscape of ‘Hoxton Home’ heralds back to old Lemon D. ‘Oh Really’ finishes the album’s more club-orientated offerings, which follows with a 170bpm techno style track via ‘Passive Aggressor’. ‘Oeuvre’ is a walkthrough of Mako’s many personalities as a musician and it finds a welcome home within Metalheadz’s historic discography.

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/KrustRemixes2

Following the Masters At Work, Four Tet, Batu, Damian Lazarus, remixes of electronic hero Krust’s critically-acclaimed album ‘The Edge Of Everything’, the A-list versions keep flowing with Calibre, LCY and Flynn each re-working a different track from the LP on Krust - TEOE Remixes #2.

Fellow D&B don Calibre turns ‘It’s A Lot’ into a warm, glowing two-step roller with serrated analogue bass and a subtly masterful musicality befitting of his classical training.

Rising new school queen LCY is clearly a kindred spirit, rivalling Krust with her future-facing breakbeat science that’s equally as compelling and inventive as the original, but also totally unique.

Rounding off the remixes with a rugged halftime head-nodder and bringing things full circle is Krust’s brother Flynn; a fellow member of 1989 ‘Wishing On A Star’ hitmakers Fresh 4 alongside Krust – and also a jungle legend in his own right – as half of veteran duo Flynn & Flora.

With such inspiring source material, it’s unsurprising that all of the remixers have brought their best game to this impeccable collection.
