Blocks & Escher - FABRICLIVE x Critical Sound Mix

Die Breaks sind hef­tig, der Sub­bass rum­pelt und die Flä­chen hypn­to­sie­ren — es ist wie­der Zeit für den neus­ten Mix von „double»drop” mit Wage. In die­sem Monat gehört ein neuer Track von  Frac­ture bei Exit Records dazu, der auch als Sound­track für eine inten­sive Medi­ta­tion die­nen kann. Zur Sache geht’s mit M-Zine & Scep­ticz auf Dif­frent Music. Und die Vete­ra­nen bei Metal­headz lau­fen zur Best­form auf — die Tracks sind auf der hei­mi­schen Anlage genauso groß wie im Club. Tief ein­at­men — und abtau­chen! (Die Show ist in englisch)

Blocks and Escher are the silent assassins of 2016 Metalheadz. Every attack is considered and absolutely deadly. This is no different.

Blocks & Escher 'Broken (Om Unit Remix)'

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.

Our next label release comes from Hertfordshire based duo Tephra & Arkoze, who are set to release a debut EP for Dispatch later this year.
 
First playing out in a burgeoning St. Albans scene almost decade ago, the duo have since focused on their production, developing their sound over the years and we are pleased to welcome them onto the label in 2017.
 
Entitled the ‘Ascertain EP’, their debut features collaborations with the likes of Survey & MC Fokus and has already been garnering support from the likes of Break, Ant TC1 & Kyrist.
 
Their mix shares some exclusive previews from the EP, as well as some other recent Dispatch bits and a sprinkle of unnamed tracks in a fast-paced mix – take a listen below and we hope you enjoy the music :)

Tephra & Arkoze - Dispatch Label Mix - February 2017

Blocks & Escher have become names synonymous with quality, depth, musicianship – but perhaps most importantly, art. Possibly a dying attribute in dance music today, yet one that could be argued is more important than ever, whether stepping into the studio individually, or as a duo, Blocks & Escher have become known as artists who truly craft their own sound and path within the confines and frameworks of both music, and Drum & Bass. 

With a string of releases on quality labels, it was truly after the formation of their own Narratives label, that Drum & Bass was forced to take stock of what the duo were doing and finally get the props they had so long deserved. With an album now wrapped up and ready to drop on Metalheadz, everybody will soon be singing their praises and lifting their stock worldwide. 

We’re extremely privileged they have recorded the new Podcast for us – it’s time to drop in deep with Blocks & Escher.

Rizzle - Dispatch Label Mix - July 2017

This is a live recording of my support set for Leftfield on their "Leftism 22" tour at the Manchester o2 Apollo. It was the second show of the weekend and the set I felt I really got to grips with, so I was happy that it also worked when I played it back. It's not a peak time set by any means, and its one of the rare times I got the chance to play a load of my favourite electronic records together in a huge venue for a really receptive crowd. So if you were there, thanks for listening and I hope I opened that very special night up in a respectable fashion! I cant post the tracklist here because it will get taken down, but head over to my Facebook page as I will post it there...
