"'Distances' is my most personal release to date. It was inspired by a time several years ago when my wife had to move to another city for work, and we were separated for the first time in our relationship. The tracks chart the emotions I felt at the initial separation, the feelings of fondness growing in her absence, the apprehension towards the end of her time away and finally the feeling of being reunited." Those are the words Hex has to say about this 4-track EP and throughout this project, it's clear to hear the passion and care that has gone into every piece.

'Distances' kicks off the project, with a melancholy piano hook dancing around a playful bassline, resulting in a fresh, organic slice of liquid. This is followed by 'Absence (Fonder)' which lets guitar hooks played by Hex himself take centre stage amongst a two-step beat and a bouncy bassline. 'Apprehension' is up next, in which a hypnotising piano hook carries the track forward for a piece which conveys how less can often be more. The EP is rounded up by 'Her Touch', an autonomic, atmospheric piece which brings together the sound palettes throughout the EP and wraps it up to make a beautifully cohesive body of work.

"I've tried hard to put something of myself into these compositions and make them sound unique in small ways. Some of the sounds across the EP have been recorded personally, including guitar, spoken word, foley sound and thumb piano, and most of the remaining melodies have been played rather than sampled. I'm proud of these pieces of music and I hope they speak to listeners in the same way they speak to me." - Hex.

'The Feels EP' began life in April 2019 with the track 'Over It',  kicking off Kolectiv's return to Dispatch. The track marks a moment in their production where they were able to combine musicality and tech funk in a way they had always imagined. 

Filled with a new drive and artistic focus the duo continued this energy with a session alongside HLZ in his London studio in the same year. This gave birth to 'Iron Tech' - on a beautiful summer's day, true to dnb form, they wrote a typically dark techy number. 

Further inspired by the session at HLZ’s, Kolectiv went back to their studio in the following weeks and started writing more music. Another collaborative session with Wreckless saw them smash out the most aggressive track on the EP, 'Stop & Search.'  They knew they had created the magic they wanted, when the track was played at a sit-down rave in Brighton and Threshold jumped out of his seat and ran to reload the track mid mix. 

'The Feels' was born out of a 130bpm project, increased in tempo and with a new moodier vibe the track took on a new life. With the addition of an emotional lead riff and atmospheric pads, 'The Feels' found its name due to the emotion the intro evokes.

A very welcome return to the label from the Kolectiv duo, this EP demonstrates their remarkable talent.

Completing his epic trilogy of full-length albums, NC-17’s 'Most Violent Year Album Part 3' represents some of this talented producer’s best work to date. Written during the most intense part of the global pandemic, when distrust and paranoia ran rife, society as a whole began to rebel against restrictive measures.

The final act in the series is like the business end of a Louisville Slugger. An album jabbing with heavy tracks and wide soundscapes. Most Violent Year 3 is not just a concept album, but a strong representation of the time in which it was made. A true product of its time.

NC-17 channelled this amplified frustration into his studio practice, the mood producing some of the most intense and dark music from the album series. Heavily influenced by exploitation cinema & late 90s Drum and Bass. NC-17 fuses both elements delivering a unique & high-octane ride to end the series.

Alongside his stunning solo productions, Part 3 includes outstanding collaborations with Exile, John Rolodex, Logam, Philth and Kumarachi. Dispatch is proud to present this incredible culmination of a remarkable body of work.
