You heard that right; Phace is back on a solo tip and presents a razor sharp and absolutely fresh 4-Track EP entitled VITREOUS.

The German electronic virtuoso puts all rumours to bed claiming he might disappear after unleashing his collaborative non-Drum & Bass Neosignal band project a little earlier this year... Au contraire! Phace is all wrapped up in doing what he loves most; writing uncompromising music!

The theme of the EP is inspired by the omnipresent glass human being our era and society is characterized by. And each track featured on this release shines bright like glass as well. As usual we prefer to leave more detailed track by track judging to the listener!

Release:
October 4th - Neosignal Store & Beatport exclusive 
October 18th - All other platforms 

Make sure you support the label and buy it directly from us -> http://neosignal.de/store/neosignal-recordings-store/ :)

The 2 x 12” vinyl EP release will be strictly limited to 500 pieces and comes with transparent vinyl - available by October 7th. Better don’t break it! We hope you enjoy the music as much we do!

Ant TC1 is proud to present Transit 2 - a carefully selected palette of pure, technical drum & bass from producers across the globe and the latest various artists’ compilation from Dispatch Recordings.

Two years have flown by since the seminal Transit One album was dropped to critical acclaim and supported so universally across the board. The up & comers from our last project have since blossomed into today’s key tastemakers, paving the way for a wave of fresh new talent.

With the “Transit” series Dispatch Recordings strives to showcase the most exciting new talents alongside the established label favourites. When faced with such a vast body of music from both previous contributors and newcomers to the label, the project quickly began to take shape and we knew the time was right to bring to you this second chapter.

With a variety of tracks stretching right across the spectrum, the album reaches into a number of alternative vibes and tempos without compromising on the Dispatch quality. From the cool and callous “Apparatus” of Mindmapper & Fre4knc to the colossal beast that is Survival & Silent Witness’ “Paddy”, Transit 2 provides an assortment of technical brilliance over just one album.

Other tracks dip in and out of the dance-floor mould to provide a real contrast and depth to the project, making this complete package such an essential catalogue of future beats. Gamma’s deep & abstract “If U Go Away” takes the album down to a more experimental level and the heavily techno influenced, 4x4 stabs of Sleeper’s “Trojan” switches up the styles.

We are fortunate to have so much great talent presenting incredible productions on such a frequent basis. We're proud to offer a complete picture of the label’s current sound with this album.

Thanks for listening.

Hybris, Quadrant, D-Struct & Iris - Graphene - Dispatch Transit 2 (CLIP) - OUT NOW

Metalheadz rounds off an incredibly successful year with an EP from core label producer Mikal, who also brings some friends along for the ride. 

META013 is a project that shows the versatility of Mikal. His take on the Headz sound includes steam train steppers, halftime dancehall grooves and classic reinforced era jungle. The EP is an expansive project that includes collaborations with Break and Nymfo, from South Country UK across to Holland.

The dancehall and dub parts of Mikal’s armoury are strongly on display here - his contribution to the long lineage of dancehall influenced drum n bass is a confident- take no prisoners attitude, typical Metalheadz.

The package is broken down as a four track vinyl EP, with an exclusive digital only fifth track. There is also an accompanying video for the lead track. 

The EP is five tracks worth of intent and is the tip of the iceberg for Mikal’s future in terms of sound and presence on the label and we keenly await his next outing.

Absys Records returns with another 12" in their catalogue, this time filled with dancefloor killers provided by some wellknown names from all over continent. Representing Netherlands,Fre4knc starts slowly with 'Marching Cube', a heavy rolling stomper that drives your moves directly towards the speakers as this raw piece is progressing. As the cube's march is finished, leaving the room still in motion we come across Berlin based Es.tereo, this time teaming up with Marlyn. 'This Is Where It All Ends' leaves us bouncing between the walls being overwhelmed by haunting vocals, that on the other side bring the feeling of calmness and peace.By flipping the disc we are going into slightly different area. Anile does his take on one piece of Nuage's album, recently realeased on Absys Limited, as he transforms chilled beats and wishful atmosphere of 'Eversky' into a fast 170bpm voyage straight to the dancefloor.

Tangerine (feat. Dose)

Released by: Innerground Records
Release/catalogue number: INN059CD
Release date: Apr 29, 2013 

RoyGreen & Protone & Monologue - Break (Innerground)

Cold War has been given the Optiv remix treatment, and together, they have come together on something with all the hallmarks of a classic. The urgent, colliding beats are matched with an undertow the likes of which we’ve not heard since classic Dillinja. The track *makes* you get up on the floor, leaving nothing behind and nothing to chance. You’ll be banging your head against a very hard wall in no time with this one.

The Groundbreaker EP is the future. Luckily for you, Zero Method is now.

Maztek - Limber (Optiv & BTK Remix) - Hardware

Optiv & BTK - Inception - (Maztek Remix)- Hardware

A true pioneer of the Drum and Bass sound, Gridlok remains one of the most highly regarded artists in the industry. With a discography spanning over a two decades and featuring classics such as ‘Moodswings’, ‘Bottomfeeder’, and ‘Standing Room Only’, it’s little wonder that the Gridlok name has become synonymous with timeless Drum and Bass.

Involved with music from an early age, Ryan Powell aka Gridlok picked up a variety of instruments, but it was after experimenting with a cheap radio shack microphone paired with a 4-track tape recorder that he soon found himself in the murky world of production. Now with the use of a computer and an E-mu sampler along with an ever-changing combination of analogue gear and production techniques, this West Coast producer has led by example, constantly exploring new ways of injecting emotion and attitude into his art. 

The grimy uncompromising style that Gridlok has developed forms the foundation for his glittering career, gaining him the attention of his peers with household names such as Shy FX, Pendulum, and Dom and Roland lining up to work with the American producer. Acknowledged by artists in and out of Drum and Bass, Gridlok has put his spin on other genres, remixing for the likes of electronica giant Josh Wink and house legend Sasha. Gridlok’s original music and remixes have also branched into other media, with his work appearing in titles such as Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution and MTV’s Challenge series. Covering a wide spectrum within Drum and Bass, Gridlok’s versatile production has allowed him to release on a diverse range of labels, spanning from Ram Records and Playaz to Commercial Suicide and Moving Shadow, whilst maintaining his signature sound....
