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.

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.

Naylo & Reecey Boi, wHispeRer - Cheap Thrills (Droplex & Slice N Dice Remix)

AVAILABLE NOW TO BUY/STREAM ->
http://www.criticalmusic.com/release/s-p-y-kasra-surface-control/

Well it’s been a long time coming but finally Critical label boss and all-round entertainer Kasra has put hand to mixing desk and delivered his first full 12” release on the imprint since it began back in 2002. Not only that but he’s done it with one of the most prolific and hot property names in the scene right now, Brazilian born S.P.Y. The result as you’d expect is pure D&B thunder! ‘Surface’ rolls out seriously from the off with a snapping two-step break accompanied by paranoid pads that drift throughout the mix as an unnerving vox drops us suddenly into this no-nonsense Friday night king of the rollers. Torpedo bass stabs rule as it marches along with full force to a deep, intense breakdown that signals the second drop into a more twisted incarnation of the b-line before. Dangerous, cavernous drum & bass from two people with their fingers firmly on the pulse. Moving on and ‘Control’ is a menace from the start with a drawn out intro that sets us up perfectly for the incoming onslaught. A heavily syncopated break leads the way much like a slice of classic Photek brought smack up to date for 2011, whilst undulating bass hits make sure this one never lets go, kicking and scrapping right to the very end. Another very naughty release for the Critical empire. DJ support from Hype, Friction, Jubei, Fabio, Marky, Kasra, S.P.Y. and many more.

Davoodi - Booty Bang EP Preview

1. Booty Bang
2. Big Ol' Booty ft. Mystique
3. Booty Bang (Original Tekstyle Remix)

A while ago the Mad Decent crew asked me to do an EP on Jeffrees. I made 2 versions of "Booty Bang" which contains catchy cutup vocals and a bangin' drive with some cool trap parts in it. I teamed up with DJ Mystique, a household name in the Belgian EDM scene for the second track: "Big Ol' Booty". Check out the result yourself!

Official release for FREE on Jeffrees (Mad Decent) the 1st of May.

Davoodi - Booty Bang EP (Preview) [OUT 5/1 ON JEFFREE'S / MAD DECENT]

Keeping things traditional on this one with Ragga voxs and stabs this dancefloor gem features smooth jump up beats and a seriously heavy sounding bassline that will have the party people banging their 'Headz' all night!  


PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  HEADZ UP

Xtrah introduces us with some pristine brass elements and yet more crispy clean percussion. What is perceived to be his 'sound' is nicely gelled together with some bouncy rhythmical drum patterns.  The sub is introduced early to the listener this time round but make no mistake as on the drop expect the low end frequencies of the sub to swiftly move and modulate with what can only be described as a hurricane of gritty synth sequences and one shot edits.  A disturbing, though some what subliminal vocal stating some of humanities darker traits rounds this track off.

PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  ONLY TRUTH

Once tuned into the self entitled track 'Proximity' brace yourself for a truly chilling journey into sound.  With its dynamical content and flow, along with crisp and clear percussion, thumping drums, haunting minimal vibe and warm moving sub, this track will surly get you in the mood for what's to come.  


PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  PROXIMITY

Xtrah takes us through a mystical sequence of atmospherical pads and voxs to build this track up to what later mutates into a swirl of twisted bass accompanied with tight breaks and all round darkness.  



PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  THRESHOLD

Simplicity seems to be the trick here until hard hitting beats and crashing rides progress this track into an onslaught of crunched up leads topped off a warm, thick sounding sub.  An array of programmed keys are decently made use out of for the hook which will without doubt set you off on a quest throughout the dancefloor continuum.  The overall vibe of 'Bodyparts' will inevitably give you the sense and feeling that someone out there could really be after your insides!  Watch out, it could be the person dancing next to you!

Absys Records returns with another 12” in their catalogue, this time filled with dancefloor killers provided by some well known names from all over continent. Representing Netherlands, Fre4knc starts slowly with 'Marching Cube', a heavy rolling stomper that drives your moves directly towards the speakers as this raw piece is progressing. As the cube's march is finished, leaving the room still in motion we come across Berlin based Es.tereo, this time teaming up with Marlyn. 'This Is Where It All Ends' leaves us bouncing between the walls being overwhelmed by haunting vocals, that on the other side bring the feeling of calmness and peace.By flipping the disc we are going into slightly different area. Anile does his take on one piece of Nuage's album, recently realeased on Absys Limited, as he transforms chilled beats and wishful atmosphere of 'Eversky' into a fast 170bpm voyage straight to the dancefloor.

Spotify

Nuage - Eversky (Anile Remix)

After 15 years and over 30 releases, Toronto native Stranjah is set to release his first full-length LP on DJ Ink’s seminal Architecture Recordings. One of the first producers to gain international acclaim out of Toronto’s storied Drum & Bass scene at the turn of the century, Stranjah (real name Alan Lam) saw his early productions catch the ears of some of D&B’s elite. This lead to releases on foundation imprints like Metalheadz, 31 Records and Flex Records.  His style has always involved incorporating a melting pot of influences and experimenting with the full spectrum of Drum & Bass. “Visionz of a Future” sees Stranjah turning in a whole album centered on the core sounds that got him his initial attention in the nineties. The album’s dark and minimal aesthetic relies heavily on moody, atmospheric overtones with an emphasis on brooding sub bass and pulsating drum patterns, all drenched in a melancholic soul that makes the project just as playable at home on headphones as it does on a huge rig.

Opening cut “Eminence” builds a hazy smoked out groove with head nod bass anchoring languid melodies and chord progression. “Decadence” ups the tempo using steppers beats and garagey tones, combining ravey synth leads and a low growling reese bass that builds the track’s tension as it twists and turns. “Assassinz Redux” continues the Rave theme encapsulating the essence of late night journey sets on a massive system. It’s rolling Jungle vibe, uplifting piano hooks and melodic vocals fit right in pocket with some of Commix and S.P.Y’s similar leaning output. Title track “Visionz Of A Future” employs stark melodies over crashing breaks creating a futuristic, robotic soul soundscape underpinned by lethal sub bass. “Interrogator” feat Evidence slows the tempo down to 140 bpm, a pace that Stranjah’s style fits perfectly with. Low slung, gritty techno tinged dungeon dub that is in direct homage to the brand of dubstep championed by the likes of Youngsta and LX One.  “Changeling” goes down Headz at Bluenote territory combining chunky hardstep breaks with a vicious speaker rattling bassline and chill inducing atmospherics.  A huge dance floor workout and album stand out.  The bass cone pummeling continues on “Krypwok” where Stranjah’s mastery of creating tension and aggression out of minimal components is on full display. B Boy beats, Kilimanjaro subs and spine tingling synths layer up to bruising effect.  “Medusa” feat the gruff vocals of rapper Greezy proves to be an excellent collaboration as Greezy’s rugged voice gels perfectly with Stranjah’s signature moody dub wise. More of this partnership in the future? Teaming up with fellow Toronto producer Evidence again on a half step tip, “Undertow” is just as the title suggests: Murky, submarine bass and lurking bleep textures gel with dubbed vocals and 808 woodblocks. This is another fruitful collaboration whose possibilities excite for the future.  “Sorry” feat Tiff Mak on vocals showcases Stranjah’s proficiency at the 140 bpm tempo once again.  Stuttering bongos, swampy bass and eerie analogue grit create the perfect backdrop for Tiff Mak’s mournful crooning.  Finishing on a style near and dear to Stranjah’s past body of work, “Amen Fury” is exactly as it sounds.  Dark side Jungle chords build to high pass amens before the full power of the break is unleashed with a destructive combination bass line that rips through your whole body. The MC doesn’t need to call for it, as rude boys scream their throats raw and slap which ever flat surface they can reach: Pull UP!

“Visionz of a Future” culminates a decade and a half of production skill and musical exploration into one concise package that reminds you of the beast lurking within the soft spoken kid from Canada.  The vision of the future for Stranjah is simple:  Endless contributions to the Bass Music canon and his place set in stone as one of the greatest to ever do it from his well documented city.

The second cut see’s Aries team up with long- time partner Gold Dubs, who as a pair they have featured on influential labels such as Co-Lab, Pure Vibez and Sub Slayer. This experience as a duo shines through on the original of When I’m With You. A floating horn line and recessed beats come in front of a snarling, loud bassline. Vocal samples and sharp effects fill in the gaps, but attention will be on that bassline, front and centre.
