A huge anthem in Germany when it was first released over 20 years ago, Concrete Jungle gets the 2023 heatblast by Simon V, while adding his own vivid touch. The strings rise like the morning sun with vocals to burn through the city. A crisp new beat and moving subs are going to make people dance like a cat on the hot tin roof.

I'm a monkey in a concrete jungle cage
I'm an animal in a primal rage
I'm a cat on the hot tin roof
I'm a maniac on the move

25 YEARS OF SANTORIN

In 2023, Santorin marks its quarter-century anniversary, a huge milestone for the label. The '25 Years of Santorin' series celebrates the label’s steadfast dedication to discovering, nurturing, and delivering the finest forward-thinking drum & bass from Germany and beyond.

Like a rock in a fast-moving current, Santorin has stayed true to this ethos and the traditions of the music, while also being shaped by the new, vibrant, and vivid styles that have emerged in the past two and a half decades.

To everyone who’s been with us on this long journey, we thank you. To everyone who has just discovered us - welcome. We hope you’ll join us in raising a toast to 25 more years of Santorin.

Antagonist’s “Kalpa EP” showcases his commitment to pushing boundaries within the drum & bass genre. With 5 tracks that bridge the gap between sonic exploration and dancefloor energy, this release is a journey into the depths of creativity, perfectly encapsulating the Dispatch Limited ethos.

The EP opens with “Hagalaz,” an abrasive and metallic track that exudes a Nordic feel, evoking a sense of cold, icy brutality. The name itself is derived from the Ninth Viking Rune, symbolizing destruction and rebirth – a representation of the immense energy required for positive change.

“Antithesis (Alternative Mix),” a collaboration between Antagonist and multi-disciplined creative, Loomis, is a deeply personal creation. Their shared cinematic vision shines through in this track, while the original stripped-back “autonomic” version remains a secret weapon reserved for those in the know.

“Saturn’s Shift” delves into the mythic energy and power of the planet Saturn, with its return to its original position signifying the transition to adulthood. The track embodies this transformative journey through its evocative soundscapes.

The EP’s title track, “Kalpa,” symbolizes creation and the lifespan of the universe itself. Antagonist’s exploration of these themes results in a composition that is both thought-provoking and mesmerizing.

Finally, “Outside of Time” defies conventional genre boundaries, offering a track that feels truly “outside of time.” Its widescreen vibes and unique structure challenge DJs to incorporate it into their sets, creating an experience that is both otherworldly and immersive.

The Green Man (TGM) gives Cycom's feelgood roller 'Yucatan' his trademark jungle magic. The blissful intro drops into a twisting Reese bassline and heavy Amen break edits, punctuated by the infectious bleeps of the original track. It's a fresh new version that stays faithful to the original.
