TERA NOISE clip

Back n’ Forth (VIP)

Toronto beatsmith Alan Lam’s music making career — one that is  approaching the two decade milestone — is the stuff of legends.  Adopting the pseudonym Stranjah, the Version Recordings founder has built a prolific back catalog of releases highlighted by issuances on heavyweight imprints 31 Records, DSCI4, and seminal Drum & Bass recording label Metalheadz.

When Renegade Hardware headman Clayton Hines announced last June that the following year would be the beloved label’s last, he stated that Hardware would “intend to go out with a bang” with several huge records in the works before the long running outfit was effectively dissolved.  The Reflections LP is one of said huge records, an all-world compilation album featuring a killer VIP of Stranjah‘s drum smasher “Intalus“.

Opening with a decidedly deeper tribal minmalist feel than its original counterpart, the Intalus VIP slowly progresses into familiar territory; twisted synth stabs, nightmarish percussion, punishing drum break choppage, and deep deadly sub bass.

– Joe Crilla

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Renegade Hardware has been a catalyst for Drum and Bass music, by not only representing future sounds of the genre but by keeping mindful in paying respect to its roots. REFLECTIONS is one such project. Giving listeners a walk down that old school feel of DnB, bass heavy, soulful, jungle beats from producers such as Loxy, Stranjah, N-17, Ink, Alix Perez, Aspect and more. Constantly pushing sound, championing new talent and ideas. The album's 11 cuts are a sure bet in that Hardware's signature sound lives on with the labels long standing soldiers and new global conscripts.

STRANJAH - INTALUS VIP (RENEGADE HARDWARE - REFLECTIONS LP) - OUT NOW

PREMIERE: Marcus Bowden - Don't Go (Stranjah's Ravin' In A Field Mix)

Dispatch Dubplate 006.
Release dates:
– 21/04/2017 via our webstore and Bandcamp.
– 12/05/2017 via general stores.

Dispatch Dubplate releases always sell out, we have 100 copies at HQ that we can sell, once they are gone they are gone.

Resuming our Dispatch Dubplate series in 2017, we are excited to welcome Commix to the fold, with a debut release this May.
 
Presenting four exclusive cuts from the UK born Berliner, the release features quintessential, club primed Commix rollers, alongside some profound and polished experimentation; providing a true sense of the depth in his quality today.
 
Still retaining the renowned infectiousness of his back catalogue, Commix nimbly connects the dots between flavours of the past and his path for the future, authentically delivering yet another classic release; something we felt called for a vinyl release right from the off. 

With 400 hand stamped, signed and numbered heavyweight vinyl copies available, there is a very limited press and much like previous Dispatch Dubplates, this will never be re-pressed.

– Vinyl format
Commix
A. “Old School String”
B1. “Kosmos 2251”
B2 [Dubplate / vinyl exclusive]. “Shine Bright”

– Digital format
Commix
1. "Old School String"
2. "Kosmos 2251"
3. "White Trash"

As with past Dispatch Dubplate records, these do sell out way ahead of release date so to secure a copy we'd advise pre-ordering today. This time round we have a higher allocation that we will be selling directly via our Dispatch Recordings store, we are unsure at this point in time on any amount that will go to general distribution.

Please note: slight change to spec to give us and you the best quality product possible:

DISPATCH DUBPLATE:
• 180g vinyl (heavier and thicker than standard releases)
• Inner label stickers (from DISDUB005 onwards) are now already pre-stuck onto the records centre (the artist and track information is left completely blank for you to choose to write on the inner vinyl label sticker or not)
• Kraft card outside sleeve (no artwork but will be 'stamped' on with a 'Dispatch Recordings' label black ink stamp)
• Additional thick plastic outer protection sleeve
• Additional bonus sticker pack included
• Hand-signed by artist(s)
• Individually and uniquely numbered per vinyl
• No re-press (ever)

Includes digital pre-order of Dispatch Dubplate 006
This is a pre-order product. If you order this product with any other items your order will only be shipped once all parts of your order are ready for despatch.

All Day Loop - PMD020B

Still a relatively new name to the scene, Arcatype are a three-pronged production outfit forging influences from jungle, techno, ambient and jazz to create a unique sound, which fits neatly into the traditional framework of drum & bass.

A quality over quantity approach to their release schedule has seen them appear on respected labels such as Ingredients Records and C.I.A Records, with new material penned for release in 2018 and beyond.

Carving out their own space within the scene has allowed Arcatype to resonate strongly with the deeper, more thoughtful aesthetic of drum & bass. Over the last few years their attention to detail, clear emphasis on sound design and technical ability in the studio has captured the attention of fans and fellow producers alike.

Beyond this, Arcatype aim to continue building upon their solid foundations, evolving their sound and looking towards the higher echelons of the drum & bass world. With one foot rooted deeply in the past and the other pulling forward towards the future, it’s safe to say Arcatype are here to stay.
