After an incredible 2013, stacked with quality releases from a mass of great acts, we’re proud to present the first Dispatch Recordings release of 2014.  Who better to bring in the New Year than Optiv & BTK? The duo return to the label for the first time since their debut with us back in 2011 (“Get Ready / Submission”) and they’ve been on a production warpath ever since!  We’re proud to have them back at Dispatch with two unrelenting dancefloor killers.  

Starting off the single we have “Zero Tolerance”. This ferocious track is not to be taken lightly, it growls and progresses like a raging bull hurtling towards a matador. Receiving strong support from the likes of Andy C and Klute, it was also picked up by UKF for their YouTube channel on first listen.  Prepare for damage.

“Tapout” is the second track on the single, packing just as much venom as the first. Towering over the dance in true gladiatorial fashion, the gnarly bass chugs brutishly across any floor, whilst flashes of techy overtones run riot through the heart of the track. Sitting comfortably in all outcomes, whether it’s festival capacities or intimate club crowds, “Tapout” completes the release perfectly. Optiv & BTK do the business once again.

SL2 - Slipmatt & Lime ft. MC 3flow at a venue in North West London this summer for Subsessions - The Rave Edition...

SL2 (Slipmatt & Lime) ft. 3flow - Live @ Subsessions London 01-06-2012

Irish wobble-maestros Dirty Dubsters continue their relentless assault on the junodownload charts, unveiling "Girls Pon Mi Mind" a eminently carnival ready collaboration with Champion UK Deejay Top Cat, which comes backed with some switch em up remixes. The original version pays equal attention to the chunked out beats as it does the authentic dubbed out skank riddims that shift in and out of focus along with some vintage JA horns, whilst Top Cat's distinctive delivery rides the circa 140bpm bump with aplomb. Those wanting something a bit rowdier will no doubt be satisfied by the accompanying remixes from Liondub and Spenda C which flip "Girls Pon Mi Mind"in a vintage jungle stylee and main room dubstep way respectively.

ARTIST: LALA & THE BOOYA
TITLE: LIONESS
LABEL: CONGO NATTY BASS
R/D: 11.03.13

La La & the BooYa are Marf & Eddie, a sibling collaboration based in West Yorkshire, UK. 

They describe the music they create as "songs for dancefloors and kitchen tables". Music is in their blood, and the eclectic flavours they grew up with have shaped their unpinnable sound. Be it their dad's John Peel cassettes or their uncle's ska band, family folk songs round the fire or mum's car speakers pumping soul and reggae, big sister's Smiths records or big bro's jungle-mania - it's all there, with plenty more to boot.

It wasn't until the late noughties that the two actually started writing and producing together as La La & the Boo Ya. It's no surprise to learn that Eddie's introcate rhythmic stylings are thanks to a teenage love of playing the drums, his signature style has beats fall over themselves like a half-cut body popper maintaining impossible balance. There's a fair bit of genre teasing - flitting between electro, ragga, folk, break-beat, funk, dubstep and tear-out jungle. The basslines jump from dirty and distorted to bouncy and playful. It's this sense of fun that binds together the creative flows of brother and sister. Marf has the lyrical ability to be sincere and tongue in cheek at the same time, part folk songstress and part rude gal - her husky tones pack a punch as, from song to song, she veers from the very personal to the downright political, discussing 21st century environments with sweet melodies and brutal honesty.

In 2010, a mutual friend introduced Congo Natty to the music of La La & the Boo Ya. Since then, Marf has appeared on stage at many a Congo Natty dance and his forthcoming album features his own take of La La & the Boo Ya's 'Junglist Soldiers' as well as Marf's guest vocalings throughout the album. LL&BY's sense of family and music as priority has secured a long lasting working relationship with the Congo Natty Fam and their debut single 'Lioness' is out 11th March 2013 on the new Congo Natty Bass label. The single is going out as a double A side - the flipside being a Congo Natty / Vital Elements (Serial Killaz) remix featuring the UK's Number 1 dancehall queen Lady Chann.

Halcyon Days

Burn

Godfather’, ‘Legend’, ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. For over three decades, this dubplate diamond has been changing the game, staying on the pulse and keeping ahead of the curve, packing dancefloors and selling out clubs long before it was cool and still does so to this very day.
  
Having produced a ton of successful singles and compiled a number of hit selling mix albums under his ‘Slipmatt’ alias for some of the World’s most respected record labels including United Dance and Ministry Of Sound, ‘Slipmatt’ is also one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ among many others on the iconic label XL Recordings, home to legendary acts such as ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Basement Jaxx’; and ‘Adele’. 

‘On A Ragga Tip’ is presently enjoying a resurgence of popularity as it goes on the current Virgin Media TV ad as part of their Un-Limiting adverts which includes the new ‘On A Ragga Tip’ Un-Limiting Remix, which has equally proved as popular as ever with dancefloors around the globe and this year alone is scheduled  to collaborate in the studio with Shades Of Rhythm, Andy Galea of Sol Brothers, Alex P, Awesome 3, Alexis Raphael, Sooney and, his good friend DJ Lime with some brand new SL2 releases also in the pipeline.

This wayward don of dance has also played at every major dance event and venue worth knowing about over the years including Energy, Telepathy, Fantazia, Vision, Universe, World Dance, United Dance, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Slammin’ Vinyl, Rezurrection, Elevation, Moondance, Raindance, Peace Fest, Clockwork Orange and to top it all off had the great honour of playing directly after his good friends ‘The Prodigy’ to a packed O2 Arena of over 20, 000 people, bringing that particular night to an epic close, and ringing in the year 2014 with a tremendous bang.

‘Slipmatt’ also repeatedly continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe and every corner of his native UK for a string of well recognised and well attended club promotions, festivals and events. He’s no stranger to a Festival or two either playing at leading big top gigs such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and We Are Festival and there has also been and continues to be multiple overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots to play such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo) 

His media outreach is quite noteworthy also, having started RAW FM, been a resident on Kiss FM, a regular in M8 Magazine and Mixmag, featured in the illustrious DJ Magazine Top 100, he’s been on BBC television a number of times including the famous chart show ‘Top Of The Pops’, runs two of his own popular Radio shows and Podcasts ‘World Of Rave’ and ‘Slip’s House’ and additionally, has won a multitude of awards, including that of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ awarded by some of the industries most respected bodies such as Kiss FM and EHM.

Not one to ever slow down or fall behind and always keeping himself fresh and relevant, this dancefloor don has been focusing lately on the biggest and best house beats, which has led him to an already extraordinarily busy 2020. Add to that his upcoming book “My Story (and How I Became a World Class DJ)”, which is set to be a smash hit amongst rave fanatics the World over later this year and with over a hundred gigs booked for 2020 already (mid-Feb), there are no signs of this crowd pleasing international artist slowing down any time soon. 

Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Definitely.
