Myth & Madcap - Systematic

fanlink.tv/SYMM047 New ammo dropping on Symmetry featuring one of Break’s favourite vocalists, the unique MC Fox. This colab, a long time in the pipeline, draws on classic jungle elements fuzed with modern sonics and a weighty flow from Fox on the mic.
Code Red has gained strong support from Dj’s right across the scene, and received instantly positive reactions from club plays this autumn. Break nails a big wall of sound on this record with layers of sub bass and crisp beats glued with Fox’s authentic and bassy timbre. Break went the extra mile creating the drum breaks from scratch on this track, recording various drums and tambourines for a familiar but unique DnB sound.
An exclusive Dub version of the track is available peppered with vocal hooks, dubbed out echo and reverb hits for those wanting a more minimal and spacey style.
Pre-Order: 20/01/2023
Release Date: 27/01/2023

Dispatch Dubplate continues to celebrate the best in unreleased dubs and in-demand tracks from the world of drum and bass with the next edition of this prestigious series, brought to you by Zero T and Black Barrel. Fans of the label will be familiar with these two label favourites, both responsible for several classic album releases for Dispatch and countless well-received EPs.

Leading the release is the VIP of “Sonic Bionic” from Zero T. The original has been in heavy rotation since release in 2021, and this VIP has been a secret weapon in Zero T’s sets of late. When Ant TC1 suggested a VIP treatment for this track, Zero T decided to take the vibe back a couple of years from the original’s nod to the Full Cycle sound of 1998, to a more ’96 vibe. A classic stripped-back Sandman break and a call-and-response bassline, are joined by a halftime intro and breakdown, for a further nod to the dark Wu-Tang-style hip-hop influences of the original.

The DLR Remix of Black Barrel’s “Fabric” makes up the next track in this split release. The original from 2019 will be well known to many. This DLR Remix adds that trademark funk to this classic roller.

Completing the digital release is an incredible collab from both artists, a soulful vocal leads “Deep Inside” as Zero T and Black Barrel flex their liquid credentials. Building on Black Barrel’s original melody with techno-influenced, looped-out vibes – deep by name, deep by nature.

The vinyl exclusive track for the limited edition heavyweight release is Black Barrel’s own VIP of “Fabric”. Another secret weapon, this rework includes added weight and intensity – building on the original’s glitched funk.

The long-awaited next instalments of the Dispatch Dubplate series are here.

DISDUB021 is brought to you by Black Barrel & Zero T, including a DLR Remix

Available in limited edition heavyweight 12″ vinyl including a vinyl exclusive track.

https://fanlink.tv/SYMM048 Symmetry is excited to welcome the soulful power of Liam Bailey to the catalogue with this heavyweight co-lab. After remixing Alix Perez and Liam Bailey’s ‘Moving On’ Break was keen to get Liam in the Studio to work on music in person and ‘Gunshot Love’ doesn’t disappoint. 

Neosoul intro flavours set up a lush backdrop for Liam’s expressive vocal performance. Switching on the drop to a modern Jungle workout, Break injects huge low subs and savage wobbles to the journey. Vocal toasts and slick drum edits roll out this arrangement with oldskool pads keeping this piece developing towards it’s stripped down conclusion.

A cut back dub mix is included with the single, peppered with echoed licks from the lead vocal hook and space for a more bass and drum led affair.

Long hours in the studio have lead to releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Shogun, Exit, Critical, Soul:R, Quarantine, Subtitles and a host of others; cementing Break’s reputation as one of drum & bass’ hottest talents. His trusted skills have been reigned in to remix seminal drum & bass classics including Shy FX’s ‘Bambaata’, Die’s ‘Clear Skyz’, Commix’s ‘Talk to Frank’ and Ram Trilogy’s ‘Gridlock’ as well as Bloc Party’s UK top-5 hit ‘The Prayer’.

Equally praised for his DJ skills, Break maintains a consistent touring schedule that sees him playing across the globe on a weekly basis on the stages of the world’s biggest drum & bass institutions; from Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam, Warning, Metalheadz and Hospitality in the UK to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the breadth of Europe, playing headline shows or back2back sets with the likes of Die, Goldie and Dillinja.

Launching his own label, Symmetry Recordings in 2006, Break honed and polished his sound with each single and released his fist album, also entitled ‘Symmetry’ in 2008. Featuring forays into ambient, dubstep, funk, hip hop, house and soul amongst an arsenal of sure-fire drum & bass, ‘Symmetry’ earned Break an army of new fans from outside the d&b world with tracks picked up by the likes of techno legends Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink. 

Two years later Break has risen the bar further still via his second LP; ‘Resistance’. Featuring collaborations with No U-Turn mastermind Nico, Bristol’s DJ Die, super-duo Calyx & Teebee, DNAudio cohorts Silent Witness and Survival, Shogun Audio’s SpectraSoul and vocalists Kyo and SP:MC, the album offers a glorious journey through the spectrum of Break’s styles and influences and a clear indication of where his talents will lead him next. 

The next chapter for Break is signing new exciting artists to coincide with his own output on the label. Keep a keen eye on Symmetry as this is the label for the real sounds of Drum & Bass, absolutely no compromise.
