It is time for us to say goodbye to the Perspective trilogy. We are giving it a send off with our biggest version of it so far, 14 tracks representing the entire breadth of dark drum and bass vibes. Artists from our home roster and also welcoming new friends. This is Perspective III.

Our vision for these VA’s to show the depth and variation that exists within the darker realms of drum and bass. There are many ways darkness can be felt, manifested and portrayed and this is something that goes far beyond just in music. Infact this goes for any medium of art but also ones life experience. These 14 tracks to round off the Perspective series each tell their own story, have their own mission… oh… and they rip the dancefloor to shreds btw…

Bringing back some of our residents such as XYDE, Dapreme, Ominous and head honcho Gifta, there is also two new talents in the likes of Kenna and Soltra to be welcomed to the family. Tracks on the VA serve as the perfect introduction of these two beast producers to the label and our fanbase. We are also pleased to have onboard: Wallhack, Scurrow, CrucifyMe, Invert Era, Hexa, KL, LeStr, Cynical Gene, Sola and Freddy B. Artists we all love, admire and will be seen again on the label in the future.

There is something for everyone in this album and we look forward to the next VA triology. Don’t be sad that the Perspective journey is over… smile that it happened… ha!

Xonder - Retro Space is Outsource Records 2nd Artist EP. Very rarely projects are accepted as they are but such is the skill and execution of Xonder's work As soon as Nuke heard it he signed it. With his own take of Early Drum and Bass is a beautifully deep, dark razor sharp production that covers many tastes and would fit in any set at any point. Dynamic, clean, modern sound still with the beating heart of Techstep.

Cadenzo - Precolated At 6AM

The X Series is a brand new series of singles from some of the top fresh artists in the DnB Scene.

Mastered by the mighty Tech Itch.

Fractured Frequencies Ft. Lupe - Feels Good To Be Alive

“Fade Duster - Ragged Rhythm”
A track that wastes no time in setting the tone. The opening is a massive funk In-fused intro,
throwing us straight into a groove-heavy intro that channels serious Spor vibes, tight, textured, and
dripping with attitude.

Just when you’re vibing on the funk, the track flips
the switch with a rising build that doesn't just tease,
it commands attention from earlobes worldwide.
The drop hits hard, unveiling a chaotic yet controlled
fusion of Neurofunk grit and Jump-Up swagger.
It’s an aggressive, punchy section that feels equally
suited to warehouse floors and festival systems,
pushing the energy levels through the roof.
The breakdown doesn’t let up either. Fade Duster
smartly returns to those funky motifs, rebuilding the
groove with clever edits and rhythmic flair. The
tension rises to a massive crescendo before we’re
flung headfirst into another round of filthy,
syncopated riddims.
A cheeky 4x4 switch adds a moment of surprise, momentarily blurring genre boundaries, before
slamming us back into DnB’s signature double-time flow.
"Ragged Rhythm" is a true crossover beast. Funk, filth, and fierce energy collide in a way that feels
both nostalgic and fresh.

MONé redefines the sound of broken-beat acid techno as he returns to Bøne.FM with ‘Metamorphosis’

Metamorphosis is the sound of transformation. Born from a deep inner shift, this four-track EP captures MONé’s evolution. Each track is a stage in the unraveling and reconstruction of self: raw, hypnotic, and unflinchingly personal. With tempos pushing boundaries and textures weaving between harsh industrial tension and lucid transcendence, MONé redefines his voice in techno—not as a genre, but as a medium for spiritual defiance and rebirth.

The opening act of metamorphosis. Shed is about release—letting go of what no longer serves. A steady, pulsing rhythm meets eerie, reflective atmospheres, echoing the unease of transformation. It’s controlled tension, like skin being peeled back, one layer at a time. The heart of the EP. Metamorphosis is relentless and ritualistic. Its high BPM and pounding intensity symbolize the chaos and beauty of becoming. Fragments of the old self are violently discarded as new sonic identities emerge. This is MONé at his most primal and transcendental. An ode to perception shifts—named after Albert Hofmann, the father of LSD. The track dives deep into kaleidoscopic patterns and shifting grooves, fusing psychedelia with gritty dancefloor energy. It’s an introspective trip into the subconscious, full of spiraling fractals and warped clarity. Closing the transformation cycle with fractal logic and mathematical precision. Fraktals is both chaos and order—glitchy textures, asymmetrical patterns, and deep hypnotic force. It ends not with resolution, but with a sense of ongoing evolution.

Pre-orders on Beatport & Bandcamp go live on 27th August 2025
Releases on all streaming platforms on 10th September 2025

Label boss Ant TC1 first connected with Entita after hearing (and supporting) an impressive LFLF EP, later meeting him in person at a Dispatch night in Prague. What followed was a long but rewarding creative process, with ideas being traded back and forth, mixes refined, and even an additional track left on the cutting room floor. The result is an EP that feels both carefully considered and brimming with energy.

The EP captures that spirit across four weighty cuts, capturing exactly that balance between the classic Dispatch DNA and his forward-facing sound. From Entita’s razor-sharp solo cut to the collaborative efforts with Serpnt, Yatuza and Furious Freaks, the EP delivers both grit and groove in equal measure. Expect rolling basslines, intricate drumwork, and that unmistakable raw funk that feels both nostalgic and refreshing.

With its mix of solo identity and collaborative chemistry, Daily Routine EP reaffirms Dispatch’s commitment to deep, timeless, raw drum & bass – and marks Entita out as a name to watch.

Redemptive Returns to Dispatch Recordings with an Essential 4-Track EP, 'Breathe In'
https://push.fm/fl/dis204
Redemptive is back with the 'Breathe In EP,' a masterful return to the world of deepliquid drum and bass. With his signature sound that blends nostalgia with forward-thinking production, this 4-track EP is a testament to the timelessness of the genre and Redemptive's undeniable talent.

Drawing influence from the golden era of liquid DnB, 'Breathe In' is a reflection of everything fans have come to love about Redemptive: lush atmospherics, intricate melodies, and basslines that pulse with life. Each track on this EP delivers a rich, sonic landscape that's as much about musicality as it is about modern-day production techniques, giving this EP a fresh and contemporary feel while paying homage to the past.

{Premiere} Redemptive - Pulse (Dispatch Recordings)

This EP is the result of a long-standing creative exchange between ArpXP and Was A Be – a process that unfolded over the years in a spontaneous, unstructured way, capturing the spirit of the moment rather than following a rigid plan.

These tracks are not the pair’s first collaborations; the two artists have been close friends for many years. Each piece was born in different circumstances and under different inspirations, but they evolved gradually, reshaped and fine-tuned through countless tests on the dancefloor.

ArpXP is among the first Italian DJs and producers to break into the international drum & bass circuit. Since the early 2000s, first with his project S.M.O.K.E. and later as a solo artist, he has released on iconic imprints such as Metalheadz and many more. He is also one of the driving forces behind the renowned SUNANDBASS Festival, where he curates the label SUNANDBASS Recordings.

Was A Be, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the Italian scene. Known for his eclectic and boundary-pushing style, he has released music on some of the most respected labels in the game, including Subtitles, Critical, Shogun, Gutterfunk and Neosignal.

Rift makes a powerful return on Dispatch Limited with the Black & Gold EP, a five-track collection that marks a fresh chapter in his sound. After stepping back from production to reset his creative direction, Rift channels a rawer approach, drawing on the influence of early 2000s drum & bass while weaving in the tense, atmospheric qualities of cinematic scores. The result is an EP that feels both stripped-back and expansive, balancing heavy pressure with eerie, suspenseful sound design.

The project is also shaped by visual art. The title track, “Black & Gold,” was the first piece written for the EP, sparked by inspiration from Bill Elis’ artwork. The visual tone of his work set the foundation not only for the track itself but also for the identity of the full release.

Across the EP, Rift explores themes of unease and intensity. From the brooding atmospheres of “Teardrops” and “Paralysed” to the rolling momentum of “Tremors” and “Sinners,” the journey culminates in the title track’s stark and cinematic presence. Each cut feels deliberately crafted, reflecting both a reverence for drum & bass history and a forward-focused creative vision.

The Black & Gold EP has already gained strong support across the scene, with Philth playing a central role in championing the tracks both in sets and during the production process. Additional support has come from Enta and Cause4Concern, underlining the impact of Rift’s return.
