Release Date     | 05/08/2013 


Our clear commitment to bringing bright new talent to the forefront continues as we proudly welcome two of Drum & Bass’s best rising stars to the Dispatch Ltd Imprint. 

This time we bring two of Southampton’s finest Gerra & Stone to the label with the release of DISLTD010 featuring both tracks  “Back Hand” & “Tenfold”.

Gerra and Stone have over the last two years rapidly proven themselves through their steady output of great music and production capability, which in turn has quickly amassed them an ever increasing loyal fan base, gained releases across a multitude of labels and a packed gig schedule which has seen them tear down some of the best clubs and festivals across Europe.

Both “Back Hand” & “Tenfold” exemplify this capability using their signature sound of stripped out deepness to issue two phenomenal tracks that prove just how talented the duo are.

Release on release the pair continue on a journey which juggernauts from strength to strength along the way.  Each Gerra and Stone release demonstrates a continual evolution as they master their craft and fine-tune their style whilst at the same time rapidly building a greatly accomplished and well received back catalogue, a back catalogue that we are here very pleased to add to on Dispatch Ltd.

PHIL TANGENT - We Don't Talk Anymore (forthcoming vinyl/MP3/Flac)

08. Danny Byrd - Sweet Harmony (feat Liquid)

D.Kay feat Stamina MC. From the album "Individual Soul" on Brigand Recs.

Fellow S/C users, please do me the small honour of only using the 'timed' comments for remarks that actually relate to that specific part of the track, should you have anything to say about them. Thanks. :o)

LYRICS:

Every time I'm in your company
I get a funny feeling that'll come to me
Like a child that just witnessed a falling star
And while I don't know what this means to me
I'm confident enough to say it seems to be
That the world is yours and that you should go far... all that you are.

It's part of who you are fundamentally
How did I get this message that was sent to me
I've got to admit this situation's quite bizarre
But I've got something that can comfort me
Even though you might not be the one for me
That the world is yours and that you should go far... all that you are.

(all that you are) You can be all that you are... (all that you are) you'll go far... (all that you are) if you can be all that you are.

All That You Are

The Qemists - Stompbox

Pendulum - Slam

Produced by Zinc & Makoto. Features on the 'In Bass We Trust' EP. Put up for free DL by Zinc about a week ago (Nov '12), so I have too.

Big up everyone that bothered to read these lines.

LYRICS:

Lost in the haze of the memories
I try to remember how it used to be
I've seen a side of you the world never sees
And they don't know what you do to me
Thinking back - losing track
Of space and time, leaving the world so far behind
Thinking back - all it takes it one word from you
To re-ignite that flame somewhere deep in my mind.

Thinking Back

The 'Imperial EP' is out now on Vision Recordings.

We figured it was time for some d&b again, we had a few tracks lying around for a while that we wanted to finish and put out and we had 2 collabs that went well together. We wanted to call it the 'Tryhard EP', cause all the tracks were so full on. Then Nik & Karol (khomatech.com) started on the artwork, and couldnt really come up with anyuthing cool with that name, so we decided 'Imperial' was a better name. The artwork took about a week to make. We are very proud of this EP.

Imperial w/ Phace 
Phace came out to Groningen again, as he tends to do, to do music. We started this one without working on the main groove first, Florian had brought this awesome chord progrssion. We made the intro and progression from it, which is quite different musically from our normal stuff. Then we went a bit theatrical with the music, i guess we kind of suprised ourselves with the intensity of the drop. But it was refreshing to do. And it´s been going down rather well in our sets..

Tryhard 
This is an older track that has had quite a few incarnations. It used to be called ´lomp´, which translates to crude, or blunt. We had it lying around unfinished for a long time, and a certain youtube set rip was getting a lot of love, so we figured we'd finish it. Changed the mix, added a rollout section, etc. One of the inspriations for this track is Bad Company - 'Dogfight'.. such a sick tune.

Dustup w/ The Upbeats 
Our friends The Upbeats came down to Groningen amidst one of their Europe tours and we hung out, got in the studio, found an old unused bass riff, used it in the buildup, recorded all of us going 'HA' and 'ZU', worked on drum fills for a long time, temporarly called the tune 'Pumpers', jumped around in the studio and voila! 'Dust Up' was born.

Containment 
This track has had many faces also. It started as a bit of a Kemal tribute and and an attempt to do as many things with synths as possible, like the main drums for example (FM8). Along the way it became a journey back into the dark spacious sound of early 2000 era D&B.

Depth Charge

Features on the 'Darkness At Noon' LP on Bingo Beats, produced by Ill Logic and Raf. Lyrics are as follows:

I’m one of the realest you’re even gonna see
Always say what bothers me, even if I cause some controversy
Honesty’s my only policy – but don’t get it twiss
I don’t do this ‘cos I’m some authority
I’m just a mic man that keeps it real
Looking to speak about the mood current beats reveal
From those who’ve ‘made it’, and those looking a break inna this
You might be rated, but I feel like you’re taking the piss
With tunes bereft of funk and free from soul
Like every man forgot about quality control, hey yo!
Beatmakers, I’m callin’ ya – I know you’ve got more in ya
Please deviate a little from your formula
I wasn’t keen to be the misery
But now I’ve spoken to nuff peeps and seen now it isn’t me
Though they may not agree with my course
Taking a leisurely decanter on my high horse
‘Cos there’s so many plums around who succumb to sound
That makes me feel like the circus has come to town
Now there’s none to crown King of the Underground
I’m shaking my head and both of my thumbs are down
I’m like “Nah” – though I’m not a player that hates
If that’s the way music is going I’ll just stay in my gates
And if my dismay is misplaced, I apologise
But if I'm accurate then don’t come back with it 'cos I won’t follow guys
Supporting it – I’m outspoken, not insubordinate
I’m bored of it and long for music with feeling and thought in it
Things that have been ignored – tunes used to be listenable
As well as danceable, now it’s just either/or.
I could just ask what they’re playing at, but I’d get taken to task
And feel like such an old bastard for saying that!
I just wanna start back raving every week again
Let’s take the music deep again - don’t make me have to speak again.
Please - or we may not get back from here
The facts are clear, the tracks lack in atmosphere
What is it down to? I hope it’s not an act of fear
Or I might have to ask why you continue that career
When all the love’s lost?
All you think about is how much all your dubs cost
And if the sweaty little ravers in the clubs moshed
Is it coincidence or outside influence?
‘Cos looking around I reckon that it’s rubbed off
And more and more artists are following suit
Going thru the motions and that’s starting to bother this yout
Urging me to discover the truth – name and shame the auto-pilots
Perhaps find them another pursuit.
It's like they forgot what the crowd was for
All my junglist soldiers are casualties in this loudness war
Being waged on every stage around the globe
If it’s a phase, it’s very strange – ‘cos crowds explode
In clownstep mode as if they’d been programmed
Nights that like this type of hype are typically so jammed
But just so you know, man – for everything, a time and a place
And mine is a taste for which I’m having trouble finding a space
I’m from the jungle days where ladies would be windin’ their waist
Proper skanking out and jumping up in time with the bass
Reminding me can put a smile on my face
But when I think I can’t help but feel like it’s kind of a waste
So gimme an artist fun to see and funky too
Not yet another monkey see and monkey do, you fool
Don’t say "it's all good", I'm not convinced
I’m struggling to find a concept that's not been rinsed
And yet that’s how a 3-2 became a 6-4
Think I spit raw? Blame the music that’s a bit poor
I need something I can go sick for
Drum and Bass that sounds as close to the road as a rickshaw.

Blood Meridian

Fred V & Grafix, the dynamic duo from Devon, present their debut solo single on Hospital. “Goggles” is a four-track EP featuring the full spectrum of their sound. The “Goggles” EP is fresh, fun and jam-packed with exciting, dancefloor-driven beats that should excite and unite D&B fans for 2013.

With its unassuming bleep intro, “Goggles” will no doubt take some by surprise with its subterranean sounds as bubbling bass and intricate arpeggios develop into the kind of aquatic frenzy you won't have witnessed since doing 50 metres butterfly at school. But wait, “Games People Play” ups the ante with a more recognisable Fred V & Grafix aesthetic - full of polished vocal glow, warm atmospherics, punchy drums and live guitar from Fred Vahrman himself.

Returning to a stripped back, contemplative tone and we have “Denmark Road” with its shimmying soundscape, shuffling breaks and murmuring Calibre-esque sweeps. Beware the epic “Basilisk” awaiting at the end of the EP. This monster has a hypnotizing intro, then bites deep, with a drop dominated by dense, contorting synth work. Awesome.

Malaky ft. Lyndsey Murray- OwnWorld

'Journey Inwards' the title cut is an expansive, wide scale introduction to the EP, with an ambient-like opening chord structure, which floats around the track before dropping down into a rocking, crunching main section which blends dynamic drums with pounding bass pressure. The overall package is one which screams; ‘this is a tune for the ages’. Seriously amazing.

The Objection EP Pt.2
Dabs

Its E.P time again from Dispatch, this time with the release of the huge Objection E.P featuring two solo outings from Dabs alongside some killer collabs that include the production prowess of both Safire & Cern with the added bonus of Mako, DLR and Dispatch’s own Ant TC1 on remix duties.

The E.P confidently twists through a journey of atmospheric darkness with the tracks Objection, Inner Circle and the remix of Back and Forth providing Dispatches signature rolling deepness, with the track Hell Rose providing a perfect contrast of light with a combination of smooth pads and haunting vocal. Finishing off, Crunch Bag steps up the energy rate with a slab aimed squarely at key time dance floor movement, almost certainly a guaranteed floor destroyer.

Objection has featured on Friction's BBC Radio 1 show on Ant TC1’s own guest mix whilst the DLR, Mako & Ant TC1's remix of the Dispatch classic "Back & Forth" has been championed by the likes of Break, Survival, and Xtrah - again proving the EP's worth and highlighting the tried and tested stamp of Dispatch quality.

With yet another 4 tracks and the added bonus of the digital exclusive Dispatch again issue an essential purchase release confirming once again why the are certainly strong contender for label of the year in 2013 with their no nonsense, undiluted, no compromise approach to releasing D&B music at it's finest.

Dabs & Safire - Back & Forth (Mako, DLR & Ant TC1 rmx) Aired by Friction on BBC Radio 1 - OUT NOW

Cat no: PA007 
Artist: Dexta & Mauoq ft MCXL 
Title: Torn EP 
Label: Protect Audio 
Genre: Drum & bass 
Release Date: 24/06/2013 

With each release, it’s important that a label leaves a lasting imprint on the listener. That’s exactly what Protect Audio has achieved with their seventh release, from collaborative duo Dexta & Mauoq. These are two drum and bass artists who epitomise what this label is about, currently adding to an ever expanding discography; conjuring basslines which illustrate the versatility of drum and bass. They’ve created a counterintuitive set of records, an EP for those who still appreciate their music streamlined. 

On first listen, you’ll be drawn in by ‘Torn’s’ assertive and forward moving rhythm. It’s grimy, with rasping vocals and systematic loops which make your stomach drop with each break. Those first few drum beats signpost its heaviness; yet it features a technical ability which prevents it from developing into an overbearing, distorted monstrosity. Something that is mastered by Protect Audio, and the artists it helps represent. 

And more than one set of these artists have laid their dirty fingers on its production. Mtwn’s mix of ‘Torn’ is just as impressive as it was the first time round, although it has a weightier impact than its predecessor. You’re lead cautiously throughout those first few seconds, held by darkly ambient atmospherics and ghost-like percussion. The grimy overture is hijacked, and manipulated into something eerier. It doesn’t have the same aggressiveness as the original, although it’s still just as ominous. They’re both imposing tracks, despite being put across in different forms through the signature techniques of each artist. 

Their latest EP was praised by Beatport, and has steadily climbed the charts amongst the usual suspects, finding themselves nestled between the genre’s heavyweights. That’s why one eye should be kept on this label, as it’s likely to gain the same appraisal. They’re still pushing the boundaries, unintimidated and armed with a host of talented artists, factors which can only further their success.

Teddy Killerz closes their Eatbrain debut with 'Jacob'. Straddling the line between the deep and dark, this stomper pairs a powerful swinging drums with a raspy bassline, bleak ambience with trippy FX. The concoction will throw you off balance in the most pleasing of ways. Skank to this.

Produced by Zero T, and features on the 'Roxy Music EP', available now on Dispatch Records.

In all honesty, the only thing I can tell you about this is that this is definitely my voice. Other than that - nada! Haha. All you can here in this are vocal snippets recorded in something like 2007, so I don't even remember doing them! Obviously there's been a lot of processing and whatnot, but yeah, sounds good to me... :D

Project from a few years ago by DJ Patife in conjuction with DJ Ron - the idea was to involve a bunch of MCs on a 'love and peace' vibe. Nothing ever came of it though, I don't think. As well as me on it there's Demon Rocker, Det, Flinty Badman, Skibadee, Dynamite, Cleveland Watkiss, Five-O, Shabba, GQ and Fats. Mixdown on it is absolutely diabolical, drenched in effects too. But never mind. Enjoy. :)

SpectraSoul - Away With Me ft. Tamara Blessa (Calibre Remix)

Bringing intelligently dark drum and bass to the masses is a difficult job, but somebody's gotta do it. This time Mortem takes Demand's hot seat to encourage two tracks with the hard-hitting firepower and sub pressure of a depth charge.
“Bring It Down” has Mortem's deep-driven grooves stamped all over it, matching heavily contorted bass with hyper speed percussion to give an unsettling sense of uneven, bottom-heavy textures. Pushing dread-filled atmospherics through the ringer is one of Mortem's specialities, and this track excels in bringing out his dark side in a format that's ready-built for the dancefloor.

Mortem - Bring It Down

An entertaining mix of smart and st00pid. Try it, you might like it. Or something.
