Ant TC1 'Continuum' sets: 

Upon completion of Ant's heavily played and favourited Metalheadz podcast at the start of 2016 (where a range of styles and tempos were covered briefly across it's 60 minute mix duration), some of the initial feedback received from the mix led to thoughts on expanding the whole idea of eras, tempos and styles with ideas on ways to go into it with even more depth across a longer set duration overall.  The idea for 'Continuum' showcases was then cemented firmly into place.  Ant's love for this music started in the early 1990's in his early teenage years so it felt natural to him (with a solid understanding of this genre's over 25 years+) to want to showcase music both new and from times of old, be it fast tempo or back at it's original speed across a 2 hour+ set.  The trick at the start was finding ways to make it all work together, something that is showcased in this mix that Ant's put together.

As well as checking this particular mix, feel free to listen back to the early 2016's Metalheadz podcast to get a small flavour of how the the Continuum set idea first came to light (the mix features the always brilliant Codebreaker on hosting duties): http://bit.ly/1Qhr4Sb

Agressor Bunx have been setting the standard recently. Whether it's on seminal drum & bass imprint Ram Records, or the underground torch holder Eatbrain, they've settled themselves within the discography of every major label running the game. And they're about to return with four fresh cuts which bring some serious heat, once again platforming the cut throat sound which has made them so infamous.

‘The Curse' EP, out on innovative imprint Ignescent Recordings, stands as both a pivotal release for both artist and label. Founded in 2015, they're beginning to push their way into a league with the heavyweights and with the help of Agressor Bunx, it's not difficult to see why. Already making their mark with Ukrainian underground figures such as NickBee, Ignescent have slowly been refining their sound; this next title proves their stature.

Title-track ‘The Curse' throws you synapses first through a wormhole of fury, featuring a soundtrack of mean bass and crispy drums. With a hook that grabs you on first listen, it accelerates during the intro before allowing you to freefall through constructed chaos. Dirty, dark and filled with neurofunk vibes, it exposes a production standard which has ensured their notoriety.

Next up, ‘Scream' shadows the same pattern, cranking up the gears and taking you into even shadier depths. However, instead throwing out an incessant hook, its thrashing drum patterns drag you through an arrangement heightened by each break. Agressor Bunx punches through to your musical receptors, taking them hostage and leaving you unable to escape their grasp.

Reminiscing on the older times, ‘Déjà vu' follows suit. Steeped in jungle-esque breakdowns, it's different from the vast range of production they've showcased. With precise form, they hit again and again with seismic results. Growling reeses pedal you even further into the fire, letting their deadly intentions take hold.

And finally, comes ‘Overwatch'… Its stabs and blaring subs stand out clearly, gradually building a foundation of infallible weight. They revert yet again to a style which reciprocates the old school, showing that despite their contemporary reign over neuro, they're also well read on their history. It's this background which has enabled them to surge forward, a movement which isn't looking to be stopped anytime soon.

DLR - Thinking About Tomorrow

Buy / Stream Here: https://HospitalRecords.lnk.to/FSOCso

Hidden under Canada’s ice-cold slopes is a core community of producers, DJs, fans and followers, all playing an essential role in supporting and growing Canada’s eclectic underground mountain of drum & bass. In ‘The Future Sound of Canada’ EP the Hospital Records team draw out its key players to keep an eye on, adding six tracks from Schematic, Polaris, Gremlinz and Levrige to their worldwide series.

Leading the EP are two serious solo artists who’s combined discography boasts releases on Drumsound & Bassline Smith’s imprint Technique Recordings and Toronto-based Inner City Dance. As an equally powerful production pairing, Schematic & Polaris have delivered ‘Conduit’ to the EP - a serene trip through deep, melodic drum & bass. Also take notice of their equally special solo offerings: Polaris’ ‘The Light In Your Eyes’ and Schematic’s hypnotic ‘Learn From The Past’ featuring Victor Davies.

Gremlinz - another Toronto talent - switches the EP from ethereal liquid to solid sonic sound waves with ‘Tactical Rail’, matching raw and rapid old-skool drum work with sinister siren calls. Then we come to the Levrige duo, a new project started by valiant Vancouver titans J.F.Killah and Erski who’ve brought an intriguing futuristic jungle, half time style to the mix with ‘The Legend’. Simplistic keys paired with complex percussions finishes up the EP in Stranjah’s ‘Gideon’.

The 2016 revival of the ‘Future Sound of’ series draws to a close after connecting a multitude of drum & bass talent from America, Brazil, Holland and now Canada. All four fresh EPs are a triumph in the discovery of the next generation of producers and only further prove the unstoppable global reach of the genre, all spearheaded by its leading independent label, Hospital Records.

Dispatch Dubplate returns in October, with two of the most infamous unreleased dubs of the past decade; the Alix Perez & Zero T collaborations ‘The Ladders’ & ‘Enemy Of Reason’ will finally be made available digitally and on a limited vinyl press. 

A ‘dubplate’ in its purest form, becoming something of an urban legend in DnB, the tracks were kept ultra-exclusive for years; sent only to a select few DJs, only accessible to those attending the clubs, fueling the excitement that made up the dubplate culture we celebrate within this series.

Truly defying the test of time, we present two tracks that still provoke just as strong a reaction on the dancefloor almost a decade on, and for some, spurs nostalgic memories of ‘The End’ in London. 

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.
