Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Memory9 (aka Gadi Sassoon) is proud to announce the release of RED FALCON EP, his third Mnemonic Dojo release.
Red Falcon comes in the wake of his critically acclaimed single Black Dragon, which sold out worldwide in 3 days winning praise from the likes of Coldcut's Jon More and Laurent Garnier, and The Abyss Within EP released in Spring 2013 on digital and vinyl (still available from Mnemonic Dojo) which won praise from XLR8R, Noisey, Dummy among many others. Red Falcon builds upon the success of these previous releases by maintaining Memory9's characteristic dance-inspired sound, this time exploring a more organic approach.

Hailing from Minnesota, Kasper blesses us with four tracks on Dutch drum & bass imprint Celsius Recordings!

The Brooklyn Standard EP kicks off with 'Fluent Funk' an amen track containing a bouncy bassline, smooth chimes and some naughty percussion! On the flip 'Conceal & Carry' takes things up a notch. Bassline business specifically aimed for the dancefloor, a surprising stomper coming from the hands of a guy renowned for his liquid vibes. Don't forget about the two digital bonus tracks, Thelonious Crunk and Brooklyn Standard. Blissed out vibes on these babies...Get with it!

Limited Purple Vinyl Pressing!
By popular demand, Estonian prodigy Bisweed returns to Paradise Lost to blow things up proper with his sophomore artist release, the Tsar Bomba EP.
The title track 'Tsar Bomba' has a lot to live up to, seeing that the Soviet Tsar Bomba was the
largest ballistic missile ever constructed. No disappointment to be found here, however. The track starts out with a cinematic Soviet-style horn intro before blowing up with one of the heaviest drops this year in Deep Dubstep. This is a quintessential track for the apex of the party. 'Ghosts VIP' takes the infamous original track from Bisweed's first Paradise Lost release to another level of clarity.
This is truly the epitome of Dungeon style, and vinyl fans who enjoyed the original tune will be happy to see this finally hit wax. 'Catacombs' keeps up the dark and murky subbass pressure while 'Question', a collaboration with Ax Farel, is a great wall of detailed soundscapes and percussive intricacies.
The digital release of this EP will also include three additional digi-only tracks:
'Solar System' featuring its long-wound intro and stomping industrial drums, 'Magnetic Field' which is sounding like 'Tsar Bomba's' long-lost cousin, and the jukey, 909-laden Ax Farel Remix of the Bisweed standard 'Ghosts'. Vinyl purchasers will be rewarded doubly - not only with spectacular clear-blue vinyl in a
clear plastic sleeve, but also with download codes for all digi tracks including the three digi-only bonus tracks! This record will look fantastic but will also represent a great historic value: since Bisweed already produces at a level with the genre's best, and we're confident when we say that he's a superstar in the making.

*12" Whitelabel Vinyl

DJ Quotes:
DJ Die - Music is one of my favourite tracks ever and the remix is top class!'
DJ Hype - I love the way this remix has not lost the flavour of the original classic
LTJ Bukem - Subtle and smooth rework, love how Technicolour introduces the original Music bells, fading them up in the mix, makes you almost not realize what your actually listening to, love it!
Bryan G - When I first heard this track it felt like a spiritual journey into music. This remix leaves me feeling exactly the same. Mad props to Technicolour, they rolled out one of the biggest classics in drum & bass.
Jack Frost - Music rework is like a brand new record but with that same class and instant appeal as the original recording .. Great record
Lenzman - My first piece of Drum & Bass vinyl was "Music" and I have to say that the Technicolour rework is stunning. A great re-imagining of the original.
EZ Rollers - When remixing a classic such as Music it is easy to get it wrong and difficult to get it right. Well, Mr Technicolour you got it so right! 10/10

'Somewhere' / 'Half the Sky' is the first original material from Blu Mar Ten since 2011's much-lauded Love is the Devil album project.
This is the first single from Blu Mar Ten's forthcoming album Famous Lost Words, scheduled to appear Winter 2013.
Somewhere (feat. Agné Genyté): Somewhere is a smooth, low-key afterhours roller, featuring the slinky vocals of Agné Genyté. Dusty
chords and jazz horns set the smoky atmosphere while a deadly deep sub-bass and pinpoint drums provide the structure for Agné to
bring the melancholy.
Somewhere is a pure fusion of modern dark jazz with drum & bass.
Half the Sky: Updating the sounds of epic 90s 'intelligent' d&b, Half the Sky is an epic soundscape of a track. A monolithic break
powers an intimidating bass while weeping pianos, stuttering vocals,
howling synthscapes and bell motifs tumble around them.

The Visits EP' brings a very warm, and long overdue, welcome to FD onto Dispatch Recordings.An artist we have strongly supported for some time now, has collated an incredibly versatile release that succeeds in satisfying a wide variety of moods.
These five tracks demonstrate the sublime talents of an often underrated producer. For the opening track FD returns alongside Script, for a track reminiscent of their earlier releases, the
EP's lead track - 'Locked Out'. Lulling us into a false sense of security with lush melodic tones, the track completely transforms into a rough, gnarling stepper; clinical snares strike across the rugged terrain, in true screw-face fashion. On the B-side, we are greeted by the illustrious rallies of 'Luisa's Move'. Guided through by evolving layers of percussive flickers, it's the deep, cordial bassline that really grips the emotions; affectionately tying all the components into a subtle, articulate roller. Bleak' is a meticulously formed old skool tribute brought right up to date with throbbing kicks & pounding low ends, all flanked by cleverly chopped
breaks. Separated by an exquisite rave-style breakdown, the heads have something to really savour here....

Brought to our attention by another very talented
Dispatch artist, Lockjaw's music absolutely blew us
away immediately upon first play! An Australian
based producer you'll be hearing a lot more from in
the future, we're pleased to present his first outing
on Dispatch LTD.
Bursting its way through with real confidence,
'Pillars Of Creation' opens up the release in
spectacular fashion. Flickering and teasing from the
start, the drop sets off on a warpath of mechanical
grunts and fierce growls. Despite such a colossal
impact, Lockjaw offers the perfect breathing space,
with a brilliantly crafted breakdown, oozing with
serene, oriental vibes.
The next track 'Vicegrip' sees an interesting take on
neuro-funk, with clean and clinical drums deviating
wonderfully from the dark and rumbling low end.
The nucleus lies in the obscenely gritty guitar riff,
which murmurs ardently beneath the track, holding
all the elements together to powerful effect.
For the third track, we have 'Flatline' to complete
the single, as a digital exclusive. As dangerous and
threatening as the title implies; robotic roars and
rumbles explode into a frenzy, above a cold,
thumping bass that shakes the foundations to....

Savages y Suefo's debut "Worldstyle" came out in early 2013. The eclectic album melts downtempo, dub, hip-hop, world music and electro-swing tunes.
they are continuing the story with some nice remixes in also very different styles. The French trip-hop guru Kid Loco made an radio friendly version from the raw original of "Or Ve Hoshech" a tune sung in old-hebrew language.
Savages y Suefo's longtime friend (dunkelbunt) brought new flavor to "Ballroom Breakers" with wobbling basslines and German vocals from MC Alix. Fab Samperi worked on the same tune, and his deep-swing-bossa idea fits perfect to the original vibe. Datax, one half of the Balkan Vision group made a perfect party drum'n'bass track from "Our World Our Style". M.W.D. did a groovy latin-house from "Baby Gone" while Jan Pyroman produced an atmospheric tune from "Tequila Man".
The vinyl version contains one and a half minutes of extra scratch tools on both sides, while the digital version brings more quality remixes and nstrumentals from MustBeat Crew, Hanzee, Kid Loco and (dunkelbunt). In total we can say that this EP works well in different sets wheter it's played on aparty, in a bar or in the radio.

When does profit turn into greed

For misanthrop the answer to this question is rooted in the influence that money can have and it is also the essential inspiration for his long-overdue solo EP entitled GREED OF GAIN.
And we know you all have been waiting for this! This 4-track EP will be released on Misanthrop's joint label Neosignal Recordings and is packed with a mixture of everything you could sonically ever ask for.
The production throughout the whole release is second to none and proves why Misanthrop is one of the most pioneering and distinct producers out there. As usual we leave it to the listeners to judge each track for themselves.
The 2 x 12' vinyl EP release will be strictly limited to 500 pieces and comes with its own hand crafted artwork. A true collectors' item! We hope you enjoy the music as much as we do.

Step up, strap in, this is gonna be a dirty ride...

The Hungarian madman known as Mindscape brings his trademark sound to the masses with "Road Rage EP" - the latest offering on EATBRAIN, the label from the mind of Jade. Under the creative direction of this neurofunk innovator, Eatbrain has presided over countless releases by drum & bass's finest since the label's inception in 2011. 2013 alone has seen Eatbrain work in conjunction with the likes of Telekinesis, Concord Dawn, Coppa, 2Shy, NickBee, and Teddy Killerz, while continuing to expand into a widely supported movement within drum & bass culture. Continuing the streak of quality, Mindscape joins the fold with his first solo EP on Eatbrain - Road Rage EP. The producer has been a close ally of the imprint since it's inception, having worked with Jade on tracks like 'Banshee' (Citrus Recordings), 'Orion' (Commercial Suicide), and Mindscape's own infamous remix of Jade's 'Venom' (EATBRAIN002). With "Road Rage EP", Mindscape delivers his finely tuned artistic vision to Eatbrain; grungy, innovative, riot-starting drum & bass music.

Mindscape - 'Rat Pack'

'Rat Pack' immediately sets the vibe with satisfying plucked keys atop pattering drums and ominous atmosphere. Mindscape doesn't wait for listeners to get comfortable before unleashing two hulking bassline punches on the downbeat, setting the stage for the remainder of the tune. The intro draws to a close, and equally distorted bassline counterparts come into focus. 'Rat Pack' gets serious as aggressive drums converge with riotous vocal snippets to create a potently anarchic concoction. Melodic components descend downward, with a sense of hopelessness. A descent into madness, no doubt.

Mindscape - 'Brightness'

Mindscape provides no-nonsense dancefloor vibes with 'Brightness'. Quickly stepping things up during the intro, 'Brightness' continues to gain momentum as new elements are brought to the forefront. A hefty bassline swings back and forth as the drum programming intensifies, kicking things into full force. Synth stabs converge with an unruly cowbell to increase the pulse rate. Faint vocal-like pads stretch into the breakdown, strangely mystical and bordering upon uplifting, before crashing back down to earth with another heavyweight drop. Mindscape delivers a pure dancefloor bomb with 'Brightness'.

J Fogel aka Stray made his first appearance on Exit
Records in 2011 with the musically rich masterpiece
'Pushed' which featured on the Mosaic Vol 1 mixed
artists LP and was a great insight into his production
ability and an indication that he was a talent about
to flourish. His second outing on Exit was the mighty
'LA Zoom' on Mosaic Vol 2 which was one of the
most anticipated tracks on the album and set the
tone for many of his current productions with the
fusion of footwork, jungle and dnb foundations.
The 'Matchsticks' EP is his first full release on Exit
and comes in the form of a four track 12" with heavy
support from DJs such as Giles Peterson, Mark
Pritchard, Om Unit, Machine Drum Alix Perex,
Annie Mac, Lenzman and dBridge amongst many
more. Picking up from where 'LA Zoom' left off we
stay in the same vein with 'Prof Popper' 'Dropping
Bombs' and his collab with Fracture on 'Bounce
That'. All of which are loaded with energy and have
been going off in DJ sets across the globe over the
last few months. The title....

Few producers understand the dark art of drum & bass as intimately or knowledgably as Basher. A consummate contributor to the RAM legacy for over seven years, he's executed countless precision appearances across the label's extended network. And right now he's about to make his debut on the ever-consistent, next-level focussed Program imprint.'Trojan' says it all. Even the title comes with heavyweight, dangerous connotations. Igniting with icy charm, Basher hurls us headfirst into an ocean of guttural bass and rolling concrete beats. Two low-end leads tightly twist and weave to create an enveloping sense of drama; savage distorted notes hammer his menacing message home while a creamy sub slopes and slithers beneath, tying up the elements to create the ultimate impact. Like the virus, 'Trojan' is instantly infectious; reprogramming your very understanding of groove mechanics.
Next up, 'Weep'. Collaborating with Frankee, 'Weep' is a soundclash of significant proportions. Long-term friends, Basher played a hugely influential role in Frankee's career, inspiring him to explore the studio in the first place. From the second you press play it's clear the two complement each other perfectly; measured, moody and mesmerising, 'Weep' creatively uses tightly clipped vocal shots as percussive and melodic devices that build dynamically before the waves of bass and pneumatic beats sweep you off your feet. Brutal yet bouncy, furious yet funky, 'Weep' is a matchless example of contemporary D&B production.
Two demonstrative damagers for the dark months ahead, Basher's back on the attack and there's no hiding from him. It's time, once again, to get with the Program. Enjoy.

Calyx & Teebee's very own VIP was debuted on Andy C's Warehouse mix back in March. It's been the discussion of forums, backrooms and Twitter feeds ever since. Flipping the rhythm switch from sultry halfstep to a firing 172, it maintains every ounce the original's soul while giving the track an entirely new lease of peaktime life. A lush balance between the original's dreamy reflectiveness and raw, slaughtering bass strikes; it's the epitome of VIP culture. Speaking of VIPs, the second version comes from none other than Calibre. One of the most venerated men in the game, madly this is the first time he's ever released on Ram Records. Naturally he's marked the occasion with an exceptional remix. Reminding us of the track's original deep sentiments, he's applied a series of virgin layers to the blend; spirited pads, a delicate synth arpeggio, a swinging-but-sharp drum arrangement and full focus on Calyx's vocal. One of those tunes that whisks you away to a special place without even realising... Calibre doesn't do many remixes. But when he does, he well and truly nails it.

One killer VIP, one remix from one of drum & bass's most respected individuals. Like we said, there is no messing around here. Enjoy!

Dutch drum & bass imprint Fokuz Recordings twists up the bass one more time with a split EP by Kasper and Intelligent Manners.

'Of The Shadows' by Kasper is a high energy piece of soulful drum & bass. Delayed chords, rolling drums and an abysmal sub make this one a must have for al liquid lovers out there.

On the flip, the EP's title track by Moscow based Intelligent Manners brings some clarity and peace to the 12''. This truly is a feel good track that will shine some light into the darkness as the autumn is approaching rapidly...Top notch stuff coming from the Fokuz camp once again!

Rise of the sun on Asbo Records is another huge
release from the stables young gun Dj Westy,
incorporating everything we love about jungle music
from the delayed vocal echoing through out to the
tight drums & hard driving bass it does it all, add to
that the great melody that pushes the whole track
along & we've got one of our favourite tracks from
the young producer this year......Side 2 gives us
natty dread & again the names in the title, Westy
doesn't fail to deliver here either, a great track with
big vibez through out! Receiving support from Ray
Keith & Dj Chef....

For the very first vinyl plate of the Transit 2 album, we present two distinctly separate tracks from right across the broad D&B
production spectrum; both pieces of music presenting something completely different yet both just as damaging as each another.
Leading the 12' is the Skeptical remix of 'Shapeshifter', one of the biggest tracks on the label from 2012 originally produced by
Amoss. Skeptical strips the original right to the core, reworking the familiar vocals of MC Fokus to devastating effect. Enriched waves
of chest rattling bass and an arsenal of interchanging snares & hats develop throughout the track. This remix demonstrates
Skeptical's innovative low-end wizardry perfectly, confirming his reputation one of the most highly regarded and talented producers in
the scene.
The flip sees duo Optiv & CZA combine forces for the first time on Dispatch Recordings, with the colossal 'Sight Unseen'. Starting
the journey with an enticing intro full of mystery, the track smashes into a dark abyss of menacing growls and crisp, quick-fire drums.
These two incredibly talented producers initially entered the scene during the genre's early days, as part of the legendary
Cause4Concern. This year they've been on a warpath with releases on Shogun, Renegade Hardware, Subtitles, Hospital and Med
School! We're especially proud to have this superb track from the guys as part of Transit 2!

For the third single release from the Transit 2 album, we have chosen two tracks that combine pure musicality with complex drum
patterns to great, contrasting effect. Both artists have developed during their time producing this music we know and love, forging
their own distinctive grooves onto this album project; evoking a deeper, more emotive dimension to Transit 2.
Not long since delivering a unique and diverse debut EP on Dispatch, entitled 'Take The Lead', Halogenix returns to a recent
Dispatch classic of his - 'Raya'. Launching the listener into a helix of cascading snares, this couldn't be more of a flip on the original.
Halogenix has done a great job in retaining and enhancing all of the oriental atmospherics we cherished in the first version. It's never
easy to rework such a rich melody without losing impact, however this stunning VIP has brought 'Raya' right back to the center
stage.
EBK embarks on yet another epic journey with 'Strength', his first release for us since the superb 'Show Me' with Octane & DLR last
year. Setting proceedings off with light and subtle pads, the track constantly expands and matures. Warped, nostalgic vocal snippets
linger throughout, bringing those old school elements back to life for today's listener. This track has clearly been meticulously
constructed and perfectly balanced as deep, enriched bass and glitchy, shuffling tops all happen at just the right time. Another one of
those tracks that sits confidently in its place as part of EBK's production highlight reel.

Acid Diaper as he was descriped by the PRSPCT crew earlier this year: There is quite some mystery surrounding this 'new' producer. Even us at PRSPCT HQ have no idea who he is and where he is from. He has chosen to keep his identity secret to the world. Kind of like Batman but instead of fighting bad people this vigilante's goal is to terrorize the world with pure Audio Violence. 4/4, Acid, Gabber DnB designed to torture the average mainstream music listener.
However, us deranged individuals at PRSPCT HQ fucking love it and can assure you.. His tunes rock out hard!!!

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sun And Bass, the crew have decided to put together a compilation that gives both a
snapshot into the vibe of the festival and also marks this landmark occasion.
As a physical memento, there will be a 12' with two tracks that totally sum up the Sun And Bass vibe.
One side showcases the sublime Calibre remix of Arp XP's 'Winter in Sardinia' track from the 2011 compilation - the remix perfectly
capturing that musical essence the festival is known for, with the original coming from not only a Sardinian artist, but also one of Sun
And Bass's longest standing residents.
The flip exhibits as many ties - a Paradox remix of 'How You Move Me' from Lynx, Hellrazor & Kemo. This tune became one of the
anthems of the festival with Kemo's lyrics taking you deep into the Sardinian countryside. Ever-present Sun And Bass guest Paradox
puts his own twist on the track, taking you even deeper in, a pure, proper slab of real drum and bass.
The package is completed with a digital bundle from many of Sun And Bass's most important stalwarts, including tracks from
dBridge, Ulterior Motive, Seba, ArpXP, Alite and MC Fava, Chris SU and Nymfo, Fracture and Mark System, Code 3, Tokyo Prose and
FD and Collette.
Each of these artists brings forth a piece of music that encapsulates what Sun And Bass means to them, the feelings it gives them
and the place that it takes them to.
The digital bundle will be released in the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that - and make sure you're on your toes if you
want to grab one of the super limited 12's that's sure to become a treasured collectors item.

After establishing their own label, Blu Mar Ten Music, in 2009 and releasing the critically acclaimed albums 'Natural History' (2009)
and 'Love is the Devil' (2011), winter 2013 sees the arrival of Blu Mar Ten's highly anticipated new LP, 'Famous Lost Words'.
Featuring 13 tracks of pure and unapologetic drum & bass, the album inhabits a similar territory to the previous two; full of emotional
movements fused with tough beats that reinforce BMT's position in the genre as originators of complex, atmospheric music.
Brooding dancefloor destroyers like 'Ariel' and 'Holding Pattern' deliver rugged basslines and harsh drums, contrasting beautifully
with the more fragile and otherworldly soundscapes of title track 'Famous Lost Words' and 'Night Shift'. 'Big Shots' and 'Motor City'
serve up frantic layers of euphoria while 'Remembered Her Wrong' wanders off into the bizarrely abstract. Famous Lost Words 71
minute duration also features an impressive roster of collaborators. 'Thin Air' layers the alluring vocals of Robert Manos atop a bed of
whirling synths and rolling bass. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Agné Genyté, injects a dose of soothing lullaby tones into
'Somewhere', 'Break It All Apart' and 'In Your Eyes', while long-time friend and label mate Seba makes an appearance on 'Hunter'
whose growling bass and Bladerunner synths play to the strengths of both artists. Accompanying the Famous Lost Words project is a
set of live dates around Europe. Beginning at pivotal label/club night, Hospitality in Bristol, the mini tour then travels to the likes of
Russia, Germany, Ireland, Finland and native London.

Following hot on the heels of his collaboration EP with Gremlinz for Samurai, Andre Delgado makes his debut solo vinyl release as
Homemade Weapons for Samurai Music in the form of the 'Kintaro' EP. Having been involved for many years in designing music in
one form or another, Andre has always gravitated towards the extreme ends of the spectrum. As Homemade Weapons, Andre has
skilfully designed a totally individual approach to Drum and Bass that marries staccato percussion to a prodding kick drum with
offcuts of familiar break sequences welded tightly to this new militant, voodoo like rhythm.
Gone is the cluttered production of traditional Drum and Bass, stripped back to bare essentials designed to make PA speakers bend
to accommodate this powerful new pattern. Homemade Weapons came to Samurai as a fully formed artist comfortably hitting a
creative peak with tunes like 'Kintaro', & 'The Gauntlet VIP' already created and forming the nucleus of this new sound. Homemade
Weapons has distilled a new rhythmic blueprint from other genres that is 100% his own and can undoubtedly be credited with a
progression in the history books of Drum and Bass music. Dance floor tested and approved at the hands of dBridge, Hype, Loxy, Doc
Scott, Dub Phizix, Skeptical, Rockwell, Jubei, Clarity, Gremlinz, Ruffhouse and many more, we offer you the chance to be part of a
new sound changing the way people hear and interpret Drum and Bass music.

At just 22 years of age, Kove is already a man in demand having set the dance music scene alight with his impressive remixes of John
Newman's 'Love Me Again' and Chase & Status's 'Lost & Not Found'. Now preparing for the next step in his career, 'Measures' EP
out on 21st October via MTA records is four irresistible tracks that confirm Kove as one of the UK's hottest emerging talents.
Already gaining the nod of approval from the likes of RAM Records Andy C and Matrix & Futurebound, Kove demonstrates his worth
on the track 'Searching', with its instant markings of a future house-tinged, D&B classic.
Loaded with bass and built around climatic melodies, Kove's standout quality lies in his dynamic productions, with each track on the
'Measures' EP offering something fresh and new. 'Love For You' is an instant hit with its Balearic-edged, 4/4 piercing snare claps and
throbbing bass that will be sure to animate revelers this summer.
'Lose You' is another example of Kove's stellar production abilities, as sun-drenched percussion is quickly propelled skywards and
replaced with a sparkling intensity, complete with tropical flavours. Now we did tell you Kove could turn his hand to anything...
With backing from Chase & Status's MTA Records who know more than a thing or two when it comes to releasing quality music,
irrespective of genre, Kove's distinctive sound is one you'll be hearing a lot more of in 2013.

It's already time for another vinyl release on m-Atome.One of our fave duo come back on m-Atome for another striking release with hungarian badboy Mindscape.
"Spastic Audio" has been a favorite this year so we naturally thought it deserved a remix and as if we didn't have enough hungarians onbard with Jade and Chris SU,
Mindscape enters the game, bringing his own touch to SOM's "Spastic Audio" and relicked the bassline adding extra grit with some grinding hits and gives the beats a personal rebrush but keeping the vibe of the original.

"Whirpool" is a dancefloor belter just like SOM always manage to do, lead by a moody reece bass and catchy vocals over a pounding beatwork.
Grab it for summer plans !

Having spent more than seventeen cross-genre years featuring on some of dance music's most
prestigious imprints, Blu Mar Ten have opened the doors of their own label to a host of fresh young
talent emerging from the leftfield of Drum & Bass and beyond. Blu Mar Ten Music (BMTM) is a home for the beautiful and the ugly, the
elegant and the awkward, the euphoric and the melancholy.
The seventh release in this new chapter is brought to us by upcoming Estonian producer, Thing who joins BMTM with his trademark
tribal, dubbed out audio. The sound of the frozen North.
Renew:
An intro of pulsing kicks and Arabesque claps drops into what can only be described as Gothic-Dancehall. Renew's driving bassline
underpins a matrix of skittering percussion and dubby fx being fed into a cavernous reverb, all working together to create an
intimidating monolith of a track.
Outer Lands:
Picking up where Renew leaves off, Outer Lands builds layer upon layer of relentless bass while shadowy vocal transmissions and
howling strings burst over the top. This moody little number instantly transforms any club into a long dark tunnel.

Ant TC1 is proud to present Transit 2 - a carefully selected palette of pure, technical drum & bass from producers across the globe
and the latest various artists' compilation from Dispatch Recordings.
Two years have flown by since the seminal Transit One album was dropped to critical acclaim and supported so universally across
the board. The up & comers from our last project have since blossomed into today's key tastemakers, paving the way for a wave of
fresh new talent.
With the 'Transit' series Dispatch Recordings strives to showcase the most exciting new talents alongside the established label
favourites. When faced with such a vast body of music from both previous contributors and newcomers to the label, the project
quickly began to take shape and we knew the time was right to bring to you this second chapter.

experiment in dub with it's cavernous echoes,

What more can be said about Need For Mirrors With a track record as long as my dick NFM have trail blazed through a veritable
who's who of top D&B labels, including Metalheadz, Shogun, V Recordings, Dispatch,Symmetry, Clear Skyz and their own imprint
Zoltar.
With "Voltaire" causing upset with club sound system engineers worldwide as feral youths wile away into a sensory-overload
downward spiral and "Heron Blue" making hints towards Dillinja's take on Strontium Jazz this 12" is undoubtedly going to upset you.
That's why we think you should take a punt and buy it.

Narratives Music proudly present the debut EP of the artist Rhyming in Fives. The 'Hindsight' EP sees a well respected producer
embark on a new journey under a new alias, with an intention to breach the boundaries of Drum and Bass and the 170bpm template.
Fusing drift space ambience, glassy synths and retro drum machines with gritty warm bass grooves, Rhyming in Fives has gathered
sensibilities from the austere 80s pop of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan, the soundscapes of Cliff Martinez and Vangelis, and
transcended to something altogether more futuristic.
This highly anticipated release has already caught the imagination of DJ's across the genres with huge names such as Paul Woolford,
Om Unit, Com Truise and Zomby working it into their multi tempo sets while still finding its way into the record bags of Drum and
Bass' hottest players such as Doc Scott, Jubei.and BBC Radio's Friction.
Lead track 'Hindsight' glistens with the trademark Narratives sound of emotion and contrast. Melancholic calling synths build over
pumping kick drums and beckon the classic bass to grow and soar to an euphoric drop of arpeggiators and driving percussion. The
ability to draw the listener completely in to its immersive groove and simplicity, only feigns the depth of this beautiful track, a depth
which reveals more with each listen.
Turning many heads has been the track 'With You'. Instantly recognisable, it builds on the same retro influences as the flip but is
injected with the vocals of Hana. Bubbling basses, beautiful keys and a song like structure make this a golden addition to the
Narratives catalogue; one that evokes the summer decadence of Kavinsky's 'Drive' movie soundtrack.
The last track on the EP, 'All's Well' takes the Rhyming in Fives sound to a much more brooding and meditative place. Cavernous
bass, reverbs and FX lead this wave of haunting ambience to create a heartwrenching close to this debut EP. Sentimental, emotional
and relentlessly engaging, 'All's Well' refuses to let the listener do anything but be drawn in.
Only furthering Narratives reputation for releasing music of bold quality and longevity, this EP embraces experimentation and genre
shifting sounds whilst having relentlessly moved dancefloors and festivals over the summer months.
DJ Support includes : Friction, Paul Woolford, Doc Scott, Om Unit, Kuedo, Com Truise, Zomby
