Gerra & Stone
'Unbreakable EP'

A. Unbreakable (ft. Lucy Kitchen & Stephen McCleery)
B1. Plates
B2. Tender Touch
C. Release My Soul [Digital Bonus]
D. Almost U [Digital Bonus]

Release Date: 10/07/2015

Returning to Dispatch Recordings for their second EP on our main label, we’re proud to welcome back the ever-evolving duo Gerra & Stone, for 2015, with the ‘Unbreakable EP’.

Despite releasing only twice with us to date, Gerra & Stone have quickly established themselves as key up and comers here at Dispatch, developing and fine tuning their skills to an impeccable standard, at almost implausible speeds.

With 2014’s gnarly ‘Too Deep EP’ still fresh in our minds, the pair explore a much more soul driven, musical direction for the ‘Unbreakable EP’, an angle seemingly subdued from dancefloor favourites of the past.

Nothing better demonstrates this than title track ‘Unbreakable’, as the duo eloquently arrange sultry piano interludes from the talented Stephen McCleery, with thrilling sparks of signature low ends, all led by a beautifully striking vocal hook from folk singer Lucy Kitchen.

Techier elements still linger, as gritty drum shuffle ‘Plates’ rebels, however, despite hitting hard when need be, the EP is characterised by its blissful Summer feel. With heavily Lenzman supported ‘Tender Touch’, soulful vocal echoes of ‘Release My Soul’ and delicate piano chords littering ‘Almost U’, Gerra & Stone complete their 2nd EP with a distinct touch of class.

Lust Thrust [Clip]

Plasma 011 - Release date - 29th May 2016

A.Lockjaw - Two Suns
B.Lockjaw - Suffer in Silence

‘Two Suns’ opens with deep growls, accompanied by soft cymbals and ambient chords creating an element of mystery and anticipation.  Lockjaw then hits you with what is becoming his sonic signature  - punchy drums seamlessly merged with driving sub bass and a sinister hook. The minor variations are well received, most notably the drum switch-up half way through, adding a level of complexity to the second half of the tune.

Buy Here: S.P.Y.lnk.to/HospitalMixtapeso

Our artist led Hospital Mixtape series continues! Over the years, S.P.Y has become one of the most well-respected producers and DJs in the game with an astute ear for the crispest, deepest and darkest drum & bass. T

S.P.Y’s sets are consistently crammed with the highest quality selections, which hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2015 he was chosen to present the prestigious BBC Radio 1 Essential mix for Pete Tong and subsequently joined Annie Mac at her BBC Radio 1 stage at Glastonbury Festival.

A DJ in high demand, S.P.Y has spent the last year touring the globe from USA to Canada, Australia to New Zealand. Last summer he took to the stage at Bestival, Sun & Bass, EDC and Tomorrow World! Yet around his crowded schedule he’s found the time to delve deep in his record box and pull together 31 standout tracks of the moment.

He’s got his hands dirty getting hold of 15 previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Logistics, Dub Elements, Anile, Whiney and Random Movement. His hard work continues with three brand new S.P.Y productions ‘Take Control’, ‘Second Encounter’ and ‘Silent Wave’. He’s given a helping hand to brother Unreal featuring on his fire-fuelled track ‘Enduro’ and a got his head down to produce a Jungle VIP of BCee’s – ‘Back To The Street’.

S.P.Y’s been in hot demand for his remixing skills in the past year with his (Not So Glittery) Sigma remix hitting the BBC Radio 1Xtra playlist for a huge six weeks running. He’s done it again with four fresh reworks of: TC – ‘Rep’ ft Jakes, London Elektricity – ‘Why Are We Here?’, Fred V & Grafix – ‘Ultraviolet’ and and Digital – ‘Deadline’. Hidden amidst the track-list is an amen-break laced gem from Med School’s Etherwood, he’s taken on S.P.Y’s epic ‘What The Future Holds’.

This year's edition of the Hospital Mixtape tears out in true S.P.Y fashion, a midnight ride of filthy switch-ups and flawless transitions; one for the warehouse warriors.

Elephant Dreams EP (PROMO)

More Info

Exclusive: Alix Perez - Elephant Dreams (ft. Skeptical)

A much anticipated and previously unreleased (until now) version of Gerra & Stone's "Release My Soul". This is a track that was discussed as a potenital candidate towards Gerra & Stones forthcoming debut album on Dispatch Recordings entitled 'Polarism' (see below) but at the same time we also felt we didn't want to make people wait any longer on this as it's a version of this track so many people have emailed and messaged us about over the past few months or so with the request to make it available in some way.  We are happy to present this as a free DL (link to DL above the player file or at the bottom of this description further down).

DISLTD023 – Arkaik 'Shapes EP'

1. Arkaik & Signal "Shapes"
2. Arkaik "Chu Kou"
3. Arkaik "Steve"
4. Arkaik "No Playing"

Springing into the Dispatch inbox at the start of 2016, UK export Arkaik delivered quite possibly his best music to date; fine-tuned from his lab in Shanghai, the ‘Shapes EP’ was confirmed for release almost instantly after the 4 individual track demos were first listened to.

A long standing label supporter, emerging from our ‘10 Years’ milestone, Arkaik’s impeccable production skill has never been underestimated; his 2011 debut vinyl release earned by winning Octane & DLR’s sample pack competition.

This debut EP from him, however, demonstrates an incredible development in the maturity of his sound, with infectious, natural grooves remaining prevalent amongst technical meridians, as Arkaik brings us a quintessential cut of Dispatch tech funk.

Seriously raising the bar, the EP is rife with memorable features; including title track ‘Shapes’ with ultra-talented Dutch prodigy Signal, the distinctive bass stabs of razor sharp ‘Chu Kou’, neck snapping roller ‘Steve’ and glitch ridden ‘No Playing’ - we proudly welcome Arkaik back to Dispatch with a stellar EP.

The time has come for SCAR to broaden its horizons. As a production duo Survival & Script initially made a name for themselves by supplying rugged dancefloor workouts but there is a much larger story to tell here and with The Orkyd Project album this story will be told.

Production collaborations have been kept to an absolute minimum aside from vocal features; Naomi Pryor is the ever present voice of the album with further contributions from Eleanor Higgins and Ray Uptown.

The influences for The Orkyd Project shine a further light on the story; from Bill Withers to Massive Attack via Eric B and Rakim.

When initial conversations took place between Goldie and SCAR regarding the album Goldie gave the guys full license to create whatever they wanted and what we have been given is a melting pot of 2016 London music. Soul exists beside screw face.

It's important to note that Drum n bass hasn't been abandoned by any means, the hall marks of SCAR are ever present and correct- the blue print has just been expanded upon.
