Gerra & Stone	| A. Back Hand 
Gerra & Stone	| AA. Tenfold 

Release Date     | 05/08/2013 


Our clear commitment to bringing bright new talent to the forefront continues as we proudly welcome two of Drum & Bass’s best rising stars to the Dispatch Ltd Imprint. 

This time we bring two of Southampton’s finest Gerra & Stone to the label with the release of DISLTD010 featuring both tracks  “Back Hand” & “Tenfold”.

Gerra and Stone have over the last two years rapidly proven themselves through their steady output of great music and production capability, which in turn has quickly amassed them an ever increasing loyal fan base, gained releases across a multitude of labels and a packed gig schedule which has seen them tear down some of the best clubs and festivals across Europe.

Both “Back Hand” & “Tenfold” exemplify this capability using their signature sound of stripped out deepness to issue two phenomenal tracks that prove just how talented the duo are.

Release on release the pair continue on a journey which juggernauts from strength to strength along the way.  Each Gerra and Stone release demonstrates a continual evolution as they master their craft and fine-tune their style whilst at the same time rapidly building a greatly accomplished and well received back catalogue, a back catalogue that we are here very pleased to add to on Dispatch Ltd.

Prague's finest export Rido returns with the huge "Faith EP"

Four outstanding slabs of raw darkness that showcase Rido's outstanding production ability and pick up from where the epic "Twisted" left off.

As a complete body of work the EP confidently moves from the half time grit of "Cockroach Funk", through to the sparkling piano intro of "Back to the Future", the deep pulsation of title track "Faith" and finally culminates in the evocative future soundscape of "They Think That"

Each tune within its own right is nothing short of outstanding, all combined in one great E.P to give a twisting snapshot of the all of the deep corners of Drum & Bass Music, as you would expect from Metalheadz everything here is just as it should be and at the highest standard of brilliance.

Metalheadz once again putting in a very special vintage year in 2013 and adding (yet) another milestone release to the catalogue, Rido once again bringing the goods bang on point and totally true to form.

Need for Mirrors 	| Grapefruit (Extended Digital Version) 

Release Date	     	| 7/10/2013


We’re pleased to welcome back the extremely talented Need For Mirrors duo back to the Dispatch camp.  

Here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting Funk-led “Sling Blade” and backing up the A side we have a heavy slice of Bristol themed flavour for 2013 with “Grapefruit” (plus an additional extended digital-only version).  Both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90’s sounds we always loved (but never left!).

Need For Mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the NFM duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.  

Thanks for listening.

Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris	| A. Convergence
Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris	| AA. Borealis
Release Date	     		| 21/10/2013


Seattle trio Quadrant, Kid Hops, & Iris deliver two inspired and relentless grooves for Dispatch LTD. These three are on a roll right now, and this release demonstrates exactly why.

“Convergence” samples a recognisable little snippet from one of our all-time favourite ‘60s drums: Jimmy McGriff’s 1968 classic ‘The Worm’. The tight drum loop leads things off with serious intention in what becomes one of the darkest, deepest, most rumbling D&B work-outs we’ve been smacked in the face with for some time! The track’s eerie intro effortlessly drags you into the looming heavyweight drop, and the expertly programmed arrangement provides unrelenting energy throughout. The track blew us away on first listen and was an instant no-questions-asked signing for the label!

“Borealis” flips the script completely in comparison to the A side, and is a much lighter themed affair from this outstanding production trio. Expect a more musical synth-led journey on this one, packed with intricate drum shuffles and shifty bubbling b-lines aplenty. This is D&B as we know it, at it’s finest.

"Unknown Feeling" by Reza is a dubbed out minimal journey into drum and bass. Melancholy chords combine with snippets of vocal and a sparse break, which are all underpinned by the weightiest of basslines. With two tracks of this quality it's no wonder this release is a double A side.

Collectively the two tracks make for a killer release - yet another gem in the much sought after METHXX catalogue

Ant TC1 is proud to present Transit 2 - a carefully selected palette of pure, technical drum & bass from producers across the globe and the latest various artists’ compilation from Dispatch Recordings.

Two years have flown by since the seminal Transit One album was dropped to critical acclaim and supported so universally across the board. The up & comers from our last project have since blossomed into today’s key tastemakers, paving the way for a wave of fresh new talent.

With the “Transit” series Dispatch Recordings strives to showcase the most exciting new talents alongside the established label favourites. When faced with such a vast body of music from both previous contributors and newcomers to the label, the project quickly began to take shape and we knew the time was right to bring to you this second chapter.

With a variety of tracks stretching right across the spectrum, the album reaches into a number of alternative vibes and tempos without compromising on the Dispatch quality. From the cool and callous “Apparatus” of Mindmapper & Fre4knc to the colossal beast that is Survival & Silent Witness’ “Paddy”, Transit 2 provides an assortment of technical brilliance over just one album.

Other tracks dip in and out of the dance-floor mould to provide a real contrast and depth to the project, making this complete package such an essential catalogue of future beats. Gamma’s deep & abstract “If U Go Away” takes the album down to a more experimental level and the heavily techno influenced, 4x4 stabs of Sleeper’s “Trojan” switches up the styles.

We are fortunate to have so much great talent presenting incredible productions on such a frequent basis. We're proud to offer a complete picture of the label’s current sound with this album.

Thanks for listening.

Silent Witness - Ballistix - Dispatch Transit 2 (CLIP) - OUT NOW

The wait is over, we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.

Jubei’s first L.P "To Have & Have Not" released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene. "To Have & Have Not" delivers exactly what you would expect – the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum & bass / dubstep within its purest and most credible form. 

There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft. It's not music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point "To Have & Have Not" from start to finish keeps it's roots set firmly in the music’s underground foundation. 

The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei’s incredible versatility with tracks that traverse & transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease. 

Each composition is within its own right a standout highlight. The track list includes a ridiculous amount of jaw-dropping collaborative talent. Credits for example see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP’s massive follow up to past release "Say Nothing" entitled "The Moment". "State of the Art" flips the script at 170+ with SP:MC on vocal duties.  Further co production credits on the album bring Jubei together the forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name a few.

Albums like this don’t come along every day and whilst some artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a select few can originate whilst continuing to cross boundaries so consistently. 

Thanks for listening.

Cooh and Temper D - Snow Storm

The first two singles taken from Calyx & TeeBee’s forthcoming album ‘All Or Nothing’ have been heavily supported by tastemakers across the board. Lining up to drop them are Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Annie Mac,  UK #1 artists DJ Fresh and Rudimental, Example’s touring partner DJ Wire and scene stalwarts TC and Matrix & Futurebound, to name but a few. And now the duo is ready to unleash the third single from ‘All Or Nothing’, an incredible slice of D&B funk featuring the vocal talents of Kemo.

Marrying influences from hip hop, funk and mid-‘90s drum & bass, Calyx & TeeBee offer up a distinctly different track that tugs on feelings of nostalgia while pushing the envelope forward. ‘Pure Gold’ is effortlessly fresh, oozing with bouncing hip hop, double bass funk and D&B energy this track will undoubtedly sound great from the car to the club, across radio waves and dance floors alike.

Wilkinson steps up for the first remix of the package, keeping the orchestral provenance suggested by the intro of the original and rolling it out into a booming, winding bass monster. This is drumstep at its finest, resisting the urge to throw in a million random bleeps, Wilkinson instead infuses ‘Pure Gold’ with his own unique style and creates an absolute killer of a remix in the process.

Next up Hostage takes ‘Pure Gold’ into serious bouncing house territory. As the punchy drums are punctuated by that infamous horn sample you’re pulled slowly and gently in. Before long Hostage places precision cuts of Kemo’s vocal and the infectious bass loop into the mix along with some carnival snares that ensure this is one of the most infectious 4/4 tracks you’re likely to hear all year.

Rounding the digital package off Calyx & TeeBee offer up their own track ‘Perspectives’, a sure-fire slice of D&B that’s sure to keep the heads happy. Relentless bass and expertly chosen sound FX all combine with rolling percussion and stunning production to create a perfect dance floor roller.

Insidious: Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects. 
So the dictionary tells us, but if the word insidious bears any relation to Rene LaVice’s rise to drum & bass prominence it’s that it is the exact opposite. Smashing his way to the top of the game within a year with nothing but a hugely positive effect, Rene LaVice is poised to unleash his debut album following just a handful of releases.

It would be foolish to think that Rene LaVice and his music weren’t ready for such a bold step, though. Last year saw his tunes find a home on the playlists of tastemakers such as Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw and MistaJam, become highlights in the sets of Ram boss Andy C amongst many of his D&B peers, top the sales charts amidst fierce competition from all manner of bass music and storm into Mixmag’s top 50 tracks of the year.

How exactly, you may ask, has a relatively new artist from Canada managed to achieve all of this in 2012? Your first listen to his debut album ‘Insidious’ will undoubtedly answer that.

From the opening bars of ‘So Inspired To Fail’ to the closing notes of ‘Absolute Monster’ this LP is really a lesson in creating beautifully crafted drum & bass. ‘Perfect World’ and ‘This Is Conflict’ are prime examples of Rene’s ability to put together tracks that will undoubtedly smash dancefloors.

Throughout ‘Insidious’ has nothing but breezy production and genuine soul to offer the listener. ‘The Way You Love Me’ draws you in with subtle vocal hooks and chest-warming Reeses, ‘Rude Selection’ sees Rene drop the tempo and team up with Trinity Chris for a crunching, grinding slice of hip hop heavy bass music, while the album’s title track is a dizzying blend of sultry vocals and Prototype Years style drum & bass. 
Drawing together classic sounds and giving them a fresh lease of life is Rene LaVice’s mainstay, crafting drum & bass that manages to feel nostalgic, infused with timeless, classic intent, but always up to date with fresh production values. Rene LaVice is a producer who wears his influences on his musical sleeve and always brings them together in a new and exciting way, and his debut album is a testament to that incredible talent.

MIND VORTEX 
- Alive / Arc

Mind Vortex are back! And they’re back with a vengeance… This duo have pulled it out the bag again and are ready to dent 2013.

Their new release ‘Alive/Arc’ is a game of two wholly different sides. Mind Vortex showcase their enviable range of skills: perfectly executed song-based composition AND outrageously huge, speaker splintering bass bombs.

‘Alive’ is up first. Striking up with a star-glazed synth and string hook that rises exponentially, we’re soon dropped into crisp guitar hooks and smooth vocals. As the synths and heated kicks re-join the mix, it’s instant anthem time with plenty of opportunities to raise a lighter or two. As the vibrant hook gets heavier and the song develops, we find the bass becoming more textured, bursting with dynamics and true sense of sonic sentiment.

Next up, ‘Arc’: A quintessential rave hustler, it opens with rich warm rush-worthy chords softly coerced you into a false sense of arm waving euphoria. This tune has such a beautiful emotion-caked intro and then BANG!: in they come with one of the most powerful pay-offs we’ve heard for ages. A murder of basslines vie for your attention; ducking and diving and weaving and bobbing among each other, each one as brutish as the next. From spine-melting electro-soul to turbo-charged bass shock-out at the flip of a switch, it’s production techniques like this that attracted Mind Vortex to us in the first place.

This release has two stunningly different vibes from one of the most exciting partnerships in drum & bass… With support from the likes of Andy C, Mistajam, Grooverider, Bailey, Crissy Criss, DJ Hype and Drumsound, the doors to the Mind Vortex fan club are well and truly open. And everyone’s invited!

Just as summer finally dawns, Survival steps in with those perfect Dub vibes to compliment the glorious rays of sunshine and at the same time issues an absolute blinder of an E.P.

As the title suggests the “Dub Soldier E.P” takes everything back to those all-important, essential elements of killer drums combined with plenty of low-end frequency, and with no added unnecessary clutter Survival’s technical prowess is allowed to shine through across an all round more stripped back 5 track outing on this EP. All crafted with stunning results.

With a heavy helping of that all too often lost breathing space, all of the qualities that make this music so great are brought slap bang to the forefront, every track centers not just on technicality, but as it should be - on vibes, the EP encompasses five killer tracks all capable of destroying any dance floor.

With the lead track 'Dub Soldier' being handed only to a handful of DJ's thus far (whist the rest is being kept fresh) the A side of the EP has already featured on BBC Radio 1 and received praise and support from the likes of Friction, Calyx & Teebee, Ant TC1 & DLR.

The full EP lands across all stores on the 15th of July 2013

The Objection EP Pt.2 
Dabs

Its E.P time again from Dispatch, this time with the release of the huge Objection E.P featuring two solo outings from Dabs alongside some killer colabs that include the production prowess of both Safire & Cern with the added bonus of Mako, DLR and Dispatch’s own Ant TC1 on remix duties.

The E.P confidently twists through a journey of atmospheric darkness with the tracks Objection, Inner Circle and the remix of Back and Forth providing Dispatches signature rolling deepness, with the track Hell Rose providing a perfect contrast of light with a combination of smooth pads and haunting vocal. Finishing off, Crunch Bag steps up the energy rate with a slab aimed squarely at key time dance floor movement, almost certainly a guaranteed floor destroyer.

Objection has featured on Friction's BBC Radio 1 show on Ant TC1’s own guest mix whilst the DLR, Mako & Ant TC1's remix of the Dispatch classic "Back & Forth" has been championed by the likes of Break, Survival, and Xtrah - again proving the EP's worth and highlighting the tried and tested stamp of Dispatch quality.

With yet another 4 tracks and the added bonus of the digital exclusive Dispatch again issue an essential purchase release confirming once again why the are certainly strong contender for label of the year in 2013 with their no nonsense, undiluted, no compromise approach to releasing D&B music at it's finest.

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.
