MACCA & LOZ CONTRERAS "IN - FOKUZ" PROMO MIX

Dispatch Recordings proudly present ‘Dreamland’ – the 2nd solo album from Bristol based DLR.

Continuing where his 2015 debut ‘Seeing Sounds’ left off, ‘Dreamland’ is an album concept that reflects on the world today. Encouraging people to challenge the barriers and comfort zones we blissfully exist within, DLR seeks to resist the inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into; an inherently greed based system, where numbers govern art and culture, whilst popularity determines the success of social causes, as issues are picked up and dropped in the blink of an eye.

Musically, the album is honest, straight up and sound design focused, as DLR pays homage to the older styles of DnB, building on the genre’s core principles, writing his own chapter in Bristol’s long running heritage. A statement of intent towards soul and groove driven music, each track is personified by simple ideas meticulously arranged, as DLR prioritises the raw elements to enhance the groove and sub bass, allowing each aspect enough space to breathe and develop.

Note: This particular track will only be made available via our limited run of Dropcards and on the double pack full vinyl release. It won't be made available to download via usual outlets as part of the digital version of the album.

http://www.igiveyougive.org/Gift/50/foreign-concept/music-for-aleppo

I'm giving away 8 previously unreleased tracks in return for a donation to the charity Doctors Without Borders/Medicines Sans Frontieres in order to aid them with the work they are currently doing amongst the travesties that are currently occurring  in Aleppo and across the rest of Syria.  100% of your donation goes directly to the charity.

 My friend in Bristol managed to escape Syria last year (part of his journey involved swimming across the English Channel in the middle of the night) so the situation over there is something I've followed closely.  

Doctors Without Borders support eight hospitals in the city of Aleppo. They also run six medical facilities across northern Syria and support more than 150 health centres and hospitals across the country, many of them in besieged areas.  

You can get the tracks from this link here -

I've set the minimum donation for 8 tracks as £4 but please give what you can. 

 Thanks to Mikal, Stray, Hyroglifics and Riya for their involvement in these tracks.  

Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy the music! 

Cheers, Matt x

Ps
If you are a music producer/singer/DJ/band etc.. please do consider using www.igiveyougive.org as a platform to raise money for your chosen charity. It's a very simple to use website and they do not take any cut of the donations.

RUNNER-UP - Titans Remix Competition 2017.

http://www.blumarten.com/empire-state-remix-competition-winners/

There were many contenders for the runner-up slot but we finally settled on Law & Wheeler’s remix. A lovely re-imagining of the classic Boymerang / Doc Scott Blue Note sound with a great, up-to-date level of production that triggered all our favourite memories. This was a very, very close contender for overall winner, in fact we debated back and forth about it for almost a week. Of all the remixes, this one will stay in our bag for gigs the longest.
