DREADUK59LP Ray Keith - The Golden Years Back To '94

Ray Keith - Chopper (VIP Mix)

This dark, atmospheric track displays Sec:tor’s ability which we’ve been gassed to get out. A slick vocal sample and deep, heavy subs combined with some slick drums create this great track.

The ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ label represents a new series of releases from Dispatch that focuses on special remixes of past tracks as well as new material with an emphasis on the ‘dubplate’ cutting culture of days gone past that we feel has been missing across more recent years as part of what was once a very vinyl / acetate led scene. The vinyl format itself will play an important role, with exclusive ‘dubplate only’ tracks featured per release in the series all pressed on a strictly limited, one time only x 300 press without any release specific artwork, to retain an air of mystery to every new release.

The first release is a family affair; Break returns to Dispatch to deliver a sublime remix of “The Formula” by DLR, Hydro, Mako & Villem from last summer. Already receiving multiple plays by Friction on BBC Radio 1, the remix causes major damage on the dancefloor, as Break’s signature drums encase a rigorous sub bass assault.

For the second track “Direct Approach”, both ‘dubplate’ and digital versions of the track will appear on each format with the dubplate mix of the track only appearing on vinyl; it’s a hotly anticipated debut link up between two extraordinary talents, Xtrah & DLR. A clash of 2 production titans, this was always going to be a rowdy collaboration; and it’s one we’re proud to debut as part of this exclusive series of releases.

It’s not often you see a seasoned veteran of the scene release a debut solo EP a quarter of a century into their career as an artist, but in this case Aries’ was certainly worth the wait. Having released material on practically every Jungle label worth their salt, including Congo Natty, Dread, V Recordings, Run Tingz Recordings & Chopstick Dubplate - it is Bristol’s Ramajam Recordings that have finally thrown down the gauntlet on what is Birmingham’s finest’s most captivating project to date, ‘Year Of The Goat EP’.

The Chopstick co-owner has employed a solid sound across this project that really does embody the heart and soul of this music in 2015; 4 original tracks plus an instrumental that you expect to stand the test of time, in a ruthless scene where these days protracted shelf life is somewhat of a myth.

‘Year Of The Goat EP’ pays homage to a modern-purist-Jungle sound that is hard to come by in an age of sample pack jump up - this is really something Aries has done with great aplomb over the years.

'Dancehall Ruler' features the energy and vocal talents of Blackout JA, delivering a catchy number that Aries produced using only played in instruments, no samples whatsoever.

'Vicious' takes you back to a euphoric level with an addictive vocal, rugged drums and a driving bassline.

'I Need You' takes a similar stance, riding along the euphoric journey with up to date production techniques and dancefloor destroying vibe.

'Ways Of The Underground' takes you all the way back to the days of United States Of Drum and Bass, the mid 90's flow and toxic bass truly show his understanding of this music.

The EP also features a bonus track in the form of an instrumental version of 'Dancehall Ruler'.

One of the few artists on the drum and bass circuit to have really crafted his (yes solo now!) own sound from scratch has to be Jam Thieves and this killer 5 track EP presented by Serial Killaz is certainly testament to the ability to be both instantly recognisable and bloody good at the same time.

The ‘Sativa’ EP kicks your block off straight away with menacing chords and drums typical of this level of production. You will notice little cheeky stabs and effects all over the place which no doubt adds to the tension the title track creates plus that ever so wobbling bassline.

‘Paranoia’.. You what mate? Nah, not us. The ‘Simon Says’ sample is pretty god damn demanding here, just make sure you’re not following an MCs request to “sit down, sit down, sit doooooown’ during the drop. Some grand piano licks run forward into ‘Bizness’, complimented by some more snazzy breakbeats and a grotty old bassline with just a touch of distortion making it that perfect accessory to whatever Jam Thieves gets up to under the cover of darkness. ‘Heavy Duty’ has a kind of Robot Wars vibe going on so if you’re still into that kind of thing, it’s the perfect combination of mental destruction and flaming swords but in a musical form. 

Closing the doors on the EP, Jam Thieves really went to town with ‘Situation’ and if you really want to appreciate the levels to this track, it’s very important to use some good monitors and a whopping great sub. We don’t mean a 10” either, save that for your pop and bass melodies. Check the vocal sample too while you’re at it.
