Russian hell raisers repping with raw clarity: few acts have shown such broad skills as Teddy Killerz. Since emerging two years ago, they’ve worked with some of the biggest names across D&B, glitch, trap, dubstep and beyond. In each and every instance they’ve demonstrated an innate understanding of all genres with alarming killer motifs.

Their debut EP for Program sees them return to the source. D&B is where it began for the trio, and it’s where they show their most muscular, mindbending musical skills. Appearing on Andy C’s ‘Nightlife 6’ in November 2013 with the pranged out ‘Impossible’, these four tracks will be smashing dancefloors worldwide.

We kick off with the stunning ‘Big Blow’. Truly unique, it combines sharp percussive elements and a waspish bassline with a deep funk hook that’s entrenched in dramatic pianos and jazzy organs. Timeless, distinctive and daring, there is nothing out there like this.

‘Jackyl & Hyde’ follows. A physical gritty groove slams and shoves with power while Coppa lays down crisp lyrical messages. Textured with intricate production elements and more of the trio’s emphatic drum dynamics, it’s an instant head-turner.

Next up: ‘Era’. Delving further into the darkness, the trio whisk us on a mission into deep space. Smelting elements of complex neuro production with classical, minimal funk, ‘Era’ weaves a tight sci-fi web that’s guaranteed to take your floor to another planet.

Finally we hit ‘Una Mattina’. Flipping the triplet switch with euphoric glee, what begins as a rush-fuelled star-gazer soon drops us head-first into another devious, bass-bitten workout. Swaggering with an infectious confident groove, we’re bombarded with an array of precision synth shots, sweeps and stabs, each element adding a wealth of funk to the overall vibe.

Living up to their name in a major way, Teddy Killerz really are killing it with these four shock-outs. It’s time, once again, to get with the Program!

Euphorics & Silence Groove - Without You

After a two year hiatus ‘Hospitality’ is back, and bigger than ever! This massive fifth instalment comes fresh from winning “Best Club Night” (for the fourth year running!) at the Drum&Bass Arena awards.

This time round the album has doubled in size, with not one but two full CD length mixes. Put together by Hospital stalwart Nu:Tone, who hits the turntables fresh from his recent album success with 'Future History' which reached no 7 in the iTunes dance chart.

Containing 22 brand new previously unreleased tracks, Hospitality 2015 features a full spectrum of D+B artists; from High Contrast to Icicle, from Hazard and Etherwood to Noisia, all flavours of D+B are covered in these two exhilarating mixes. With some superb remixes from the likes of Break, Logistics, Culture Shock and LSB also included - no stone is left unturned.

Exclusive unreleased tracks to the album include a special VIP edition of Nu:Logic's 'Everlasting Days' which both Gresham brothers have been unleashing in recent sets, as well as a cheeky re-rub of legendary Zed Bias’s jungle classic 'Something About This’.

Other exclusives come from D&BA best newcomer producer 2014 winner Maduk, as well as Technimatic, London Elektricity, Russ Chimes, Nu:Tone and more.

To celebrate 18 years of Hospital Records throughout 2014, Hospitality brought together thousands of people, who all shared the same love for music, in a series of worldwide events. Bringing Hospitality firmly into 2015, this compilation provides a panoramic snapshot of D+B and brings you the very best of Hospitality.

Chris.SU joins SOM on the next joint - ‘Chariots’ - and the result is addictive. It doesn’t come as a surprise - since their first collaboration in 2007, the names SOM and Chris.SU have together been synonymous with quality. ‘Chariots’ warms things up in classic fashion, with ominous voices underlying swaths of uplifting heroic melodies, although that’s where the roadmap ends. The duo brings us into a fierce groove of warmly oscillating and grinding basslines, only cut short as they’re forcefully punctuated with a lethal arrangement of menacing lead synth stabs. The verdict on this one is clear - a pure dancefloor killer. It’s a testament to their finesse as collaborators, that they so easily walk the line between the listeners’ expectations and sounds, rhythms and structures which are entirely alien - in the best way possible.

Release Date: 10/07/2015

Returning to Dispatch Recordings for their second EP on our main label, we’re proud to welcome back the ever-evolving duo Gerra & Stone, for 2015, with the ‘Unbreakable EP’.

Despite releasing only twice with us to date, Gerra & Stone have quickly established themselves as key up and comers here at Dispatch, developing and fine tuning their skills to an impeccable standard, at almost implausible speeds.

With 2014’s gnarly ‘Too Deep EP’ still fresh in our minds, the pair explore a much more soul driven, musical direction for the ‘Unbreakable EP’, an angle seemingly subdued from dancefloor favourites of the past.

Nothing better demonstrates this than title track ‘Unbreakable’, as the duo eloquently arrange sultry piano interludes from the talented Stephen McCleery, with thrilling sparks of signature low ends, all led by a beautifully striking vocal hook from folk singer Lucy Kitchen.

Techier elements still linger, as gritty drum shuffle ‘Plates’ rebels, however, despite hitting hard when need be, the EP is characterised by its blissful Summer feel. With heavily Lenzman supported ‘Tender Touch’, soulful vocal echoes of ‘Release My Soul’ and delicate piano chords littering ‘Almost U’, Gerra & Stone complete their 2nd EP with a distinct touch of class.

We had the pleasure to connect with the Turkey's most soulful Kerem Akdag. We have been following his moves, his music and releases. It's easy to say this man is talented and capable of many things. We have heard soul, footwork and house releases from him. And what we got for the show was 45 minutes mix full of soulful house including unreleased tracks from him. Another great talent from Darker Than Wax family.

Artificial Intelligence will be releasing their next album with Metalheadz and it’s their most accomplished work to date. A mature, confident long player that when listening you can’t help but feel is ‘potential achieved’ and a genuine pleasure to be releasing via the label.
The aesthetic of the album harks back to early AI material. It’s full of soul but has darker moments amongst its beauty. The palette of the project draws on classic era Jungle and goes as far back as Chicago house but in its entirety it’s much more than that; they are just some of the influences to be found on an expansive album that ticks many boxes.
Collaborations on the album come from SCAR and newcomer Dawn Wall whilst vocals are taken care of by DRS, Terri Walker, Steo and MC Sense.
Let’s leave label boss Goldie to have the final say on the album; ‘Artificial Intelligence have given us some great music in the past so naturally I’m really happy that we’ll be releasing their latest album, I’ve been a fan for a long time’

Artificial Intelligence - Nothing But [Timeline LP] OUT NOW

After honing their trade in Southampton, drum & bass duo Gerra & Stone have made several successful forays into the wider world over the past couple of years. Regular players at Dispatch and Proximity, the pair have been turning heads in the RAM camp during 2015, dropping a killer jungle VIP of 'L.I.E.S.' via the label's recent RAMsterdam compilation. Now returning for their second effort for sister label, Program, Gerra & Stone have set thrusters to full once again!

A-side 'Dnt U' is as techy as they come, all retching, mutant synths and hard-nosed drumwork. Yet the outfit's love for the old school still features. Sly, junglistic elements peep through the gaps, giving the track extra depth and character.

Stream 'Dnt U' in full here, and pick up a copy along with AA 'Chicago' exclusively via the Program Beatport from November 20th: https://pro.beatport.com/label/program/27842
