DIS084 -Gerra & Stone 'Too Deep' EP		

A. "Too Deep"
B1. "Lockdown"
B2. "Long Game"
C. [digital bonus] "Bus 54"

Release Date: 06/10/2014

Gerra & Stone return to Dispatch to join the main label, kicking things up a notch with their “Too Deep EP” dropping this Autumn. Following the huge success of their LTD debut “Backhand / Tenfold”, the Southampton based duo continue to raise the bar. Their first full Dispatch EP features four concrete rollers; each tightly programmed, each packing a punch at the lower frequencies, injecting instant stamina into any discerning crowd.

Title track “Too Deep” swoops down with deadly fervor and venomous low ends that twist and mature throughout, whilst “Long Game” strikes with ferocity and through to the rib cage. Mid-range growls resemble heated alien discourse, as the bass grooving subtly throughout. 

Keeping the beats moody and no-nonsense, bongos lightly patter over “Lockdown” and sweet vocal washes argue with jeering and fermenting bass sounds. “Bus 54” strips to more abstract surface noises initially, but possesses a lethal edge that we have come to expect from Gerra & Stone.

The duo from Southampton are fast becoming artists to watch with material scheduled for Ram before the end of the year and another Dispatch release lined up for early 2015.

Support on this EP from: Calyx & Teebee, Ant TC1, Spy, Kasra, Crissy Criss, Survival, Quadrant & Iris, SCAR, Logistics, June Miller, Dabs and more.

Gerra & Stone - Too Deep - Dispatch 084 (CLIP)

PROXLP007 - BREDREN - LRC [TRINITY LP]

**NOTE - We are shipping vinyl copies out from our store 3 weeks ahead of the general release date, postage starts on 2nd March exclusively from us directly)**

Following the hugely successful debut of our ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ label, with the first two vinyl releases selling out across all stores, we're proud to welcome #3 in the series, led predominantly by label favourite DLR. Much like the previous Dubplates, each vinyl will showcase a thicker set 180 grams in weight, hand numbered (1 – 300), hand-stamped, signed, with an added label sticker pack with all 300; never to be re-pressed.

Setting off the release, we're pleased to release our most in-demand dub from the past year; the mighty Break & DLR rework everyone has waited for – “Murmur VIP”. With the original first appearing in 2012 on Octane & DLR's “Method In The Madness” album, the Break & DLR VIP has revitalized the initial buzz of an already popular track, in spectacular fashion. Causing havoc on dancefloors worldwide, it has already seen heavy rotational support by Friction on his BBC Radio 1 show (with 6 plays on the show in total to date).

In addition, we present a new, original track from DLR; the immaculately detailed “Regeneration”. This drops us right back to the late 90s with a cosmic vibe that pays homage to the Virus / Konflict era, brought right up to date. Although delivered in a superbly tight, modern construct, it never loses its old school essence and authenticity. This release features two versions of the track, the “Generated Mix” is exclusive to the vinyl format, whilst the gnarly “Metamorphosis Mix” also features as a digital only bonus, both offering a very different take on a track that (in its original form) was never planned or set to surface, so we felt it fitting for this to appear on the Dispatch Dubplate label.

Completing the Dubplate comes the second re-work of the release, as “Tugboat” receives the remix treatment, with “The Moneyshot VIP” appearing on both vinyl and digital formats. A new take on DLR’s solo Dispatch single from 2013, the VIP is nothing short of a huge re-work and a complete re-invention of the original, taking a much more stepping dance floor approach from start to finish.

This release features a vinyl only track “Regeneration (Generated Mix)”. This will not be available in digital format at all. Vinyl buyers will be able to download all the other tracks, however this dubplate exclusive mix will never be available in any other format.

Each vinyl purchase will receive free 320kbps mp3 & wav files of all the available digital tracks. These will only become available to download on the Friday before general release and no sooner – this is the 20th of March as general release date is the 23rd March.

Dispatch dubplate product spec:
• 180g vinyl (thicker / heavier set than usual)
• Full inner label & additional bonus sticker pack included
• Kraft card outside sleeve (which will be 'stamped' on with a Dispatch Recordings label black ink stamp)
• Additional thin floppy plastic outer protection sleeve
• Signed by artists
• Numbered ___/300
• No re-press (ever!)

Title – Subcom

A. Kolectiv & Skulpture - Subcom   

RELEASE DATE: 09/05/16

Subcom sees Kolectiv & Skulpture stepping up to give us our first release of 2016, Skulpture’s first outing with Proximity teaming up with stalwart producing trio Kolectiv, who themselves have an eclectic back catalogue with releases under their belts from labels such as Dispatch, Different Music, and Nurtured Beatz. It’s truly a track worth waiting for, densely packed with all the components that make a song special; a habitable planet with the perfect conditions for life.

Everything about this track screams energy, and it will no doubt be a great tool for channelling that energy into clubs worldwide. The eerily gentle opening gives way to something frantic, the rhythm kicks in quickly and there is a sense of panic conjured by the high pitched synths. A swift move to low end rumbles then signifies the coming storm, which proves to be heavy in every aspect. Beautiful production allows Kolectiv & Skulpture to create something unique and allows the main body of the track to piece together a collage of styles.

The track shows how Kolectiv’s sound will continue to evolve, with Skulpture’s fresh influence causing waves in the scene in just one release. Subcom is a song that doesn’t fit neatly into a box, it breaks out of them.

PROX080 - KOLECTIV & SKULPTURE - SUBCOM

Proximity Recordings
Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – PROX081
Artist – Tom Small
Title – Future Time EP
A.	Tom Small – Black Angel
B.	Tom Small – Falling Walls
C.	Tom Small – Future Time
D.	Tom Small - Detailed

RELEASE DATE: 16/05/16
Nearing on two years since his last outing with Proximity, Tom Small returns, bringing with him only fire. Known for his hard rollers, Tom Small shows us what he knows best offering some of the finest in Drum & Bass. With support from some of the most respected producers and selectors in the game: Amoss, Bredren, RoyGreen & Protone, Rido, and Fre4knc to name a few on an increasingly growing list.
Black Angel starts us off in style; a nice little shadowy roller that’s sure to get a killer reaction. This is one for any arsenal with excellent manipulation of low end and truly cross spectrum sound. Track number two moves us into the eerie, further into the recesses of sound. Again keeping up the pace, with Falling Walls Tom Small harmonises thick hard hitting bass with wobble in a completely unique way. The power dynamic between the two is a joy to listen to, each one battling out for dominance of the track. 
Raucous toms lead the sound in Future Time, in addition to unimaginable mid range noises, all before we reach the drop. The title track has certainly earned its spot and doesn’t fail to deliver the epitome of energy. The highlight however is as the tune lets up in the middle and teases that rumbling bass stripped back of all but a few futuristic squelches before serving up its hard sound once more.
Detailed ends the EP in style, bringing with it all you would expect. With an experimental drum pattern that still hits all the right groove chords, all you can do is rock out. A fitting end to an outstanding display; this one’s a keeper.

Calibre - Iron Balls

Following a recent surge on the Dispatch LTD imprint, we take things back to the core, with label stalwart Survival, who featured on the very first LTD release (001).

Dropping an incredible Metalheadz LP in July as SCAR (with Script), LTD028 sees Survival harness his deft production prowess towards a first solo release since his USB Album in 2014 (exclusive to USB, with all copies quickly selling out).

Teeing off with three tumultuous tracks, Survival returns with a technically flawless display, with low ends bursting at the seams and a ruthless use of space.

Treat this single as a warning of what’s to come, because we’re pleased to say much more solo material is on the way, including a new Survival album in 2017.

Release dates: 
– 31/10/2016 via Dispatch website and Bandcamp.
– 04/11/2016 via general release.

Alix Perez & Skeptical - Without A Trace

For our final release of 2016, we are proud to have reached our milestone 100th Dispatch release, marking the occasion with a Various Artists’ compilation featuring some of our favourite producers from the past and present.

Celebrating some of the artists that have moulded the label today, whilst simultaneously showcasing upcoming talent, the album is split into two parts – the ‘Future Blueprint’; including original / newly remixed music from the likes of DLR, Skeptical, Gerra, Stone & Cern and the ‘Past Blueprint’; a selection of our best loved cuts from over the years, with numerous showings from Survival, Break and Zero T, plus classics from A.I., Marcus Intalex and Duo Infernale.

Reflecting on how the label and artists have developed together in time, further names appear on both Parts 1 & 2, including Script (on ‘Sahara’ with Survival and also the classic ‘Set Up The Set’) and label boss Ant TC1, alongside Chris SU and Stress Level first for ‘Waves’ and now, remixing Nymfo’s ‘Coming Through’ with Seattle duo Quadrant & Iris.

With special thanks to all the fans, press and DJs that have supported us over the years, we are thrilled to have made it to a century of releases; with so much good music around today, we look forward to sharing our plans for 2017 and on.

Nymfo - Coming Through (Quadrant, Ant TC1 & Iris Remix)- Dispatch 100 [part 1] (CLIP) - OUT NOW

Big thanks to the Noisia guys on another radio play.

Our first release of 2017 sets things off with deadly introduction, as we proudly welcome another first – the debut EP from Bristol based Kyrist,  coincidentally this happens to be our first ever female solo release on Dispatch.

Causing a ruckus thus far with a string of gritty, yet groove filled singles and remixes, the ‘Venomous EP’ is the pinnacle of Kyrist’s work to date, featuring four superb tracks that shows her diversity in production, but really showcasing her bread and butter – those screwface steppers we’ve come to love, earning the support of S.P.Y., Ant TC1, Zero T, Kasra and Survival so far. 

‘Venomous EP’ shuffles through hard hitting grooves, both infectious and rebellious in the mid ranges, uncompromising on the low ends (see title track ‘Venomous’), perfectly equipped for dark rooms with large rigs, and firm favourites at recent Dispatch events, such as ‘Tectonicz’. 

On a deeper tip, Kyrist also enlists Irish soulster Steo for a vocal performance in ‘Find A Meaning’, aided in expressing a more soulful side we’ve not previously seen from her, yet still keeping that sharper edge to it.
