Heavy1 hailing from Tokyo, Japan kicks off our brand new label with a tune that needs no introduction. False Color Image opens with a sinister string that holds the listeners attention before grabbing you with a drop of epic proportions. A rugged 2 step kick and snare brings the energy straight to the forefront whilst the bass digs deep with a booming 808 hitting every 4 bars. This really hurts every bone in the human body!

We're obviously very pleased to welcome such a talent as Hybris into the Dispatch family. He hits hard with a deep dark little rollout that switches bass and groove effortlessly throughout the track! We also feel its worth mentioning he has a full 12 coming out on Dispatch LTD's big brother Dispatch Recordings too.Safire joins up with NZ talent Borderline for a fierce rollout of huge proportions, the track has a hard hitting futuristic feel and its one thats hitting hard with the likes of Kasra, Ant TC1 & Survival in clubs and on radio.Support also across this release from the likes of: Zero T, Ant TC1, Kasra, Octane & DLR, Teebee, Survival, Judda, Optiv, Xtrah, Spinline, Goldie, Sabre.

Demand Records aren't shy when it comes to releasing bold Drum & Bass statements, and their latest offering from Bern-based Brazillian BTK, and Englishman Optiv is no exception. A side 'Jacknife' proves that demand are the underground D&B scene's label of choice once again, with a stepper storm of tesla coil bass and malevolence. This tune was made to shake dancefloors off the Richter scale - expect carnage. 'Menace Part 2 is a straight-up evil roller, building tension with attention - grabbing drums and eventually erupting into a no-nonsense destroyer any self-respecting clubber would go nuts for. With contrast between intricate drums and relentless pneumatic pressure, Optiv & BTK don't give you a choice - you have to move.

AMIT has joined forces with EXIT Records for the release of his upcoming EP. The project also sees AMIT reuniting with vocalist RANI who previously featured on several tracks on '9 Times'. This fruitful collaborative relationship is further cemented by 'Stay With Me' and 'You Look Better Dead'.Rani is a London based Vocalist of Irish/Indian descent. She originally started writing and performing her original songs at the age of 16 in local venues near her home town in the West of Ireland. Until her recent collaboration with AMIT, Rani's musical endeavors were more folk oriented with artists such as John Martyn and Bob Dylan proving to be major influences on her song writing. Her interest in electronic music was initiated when exposed to Martyn's early electro acoustic experimentation. She also considers contemporary artists such as Radiohead, Bjork and Sonic Youth to be major sources of inspiration along with the work of Creatives working in other mediums such as film-maker David Lynch and visual artist Marina Abramovic.

Multi Coloured Vinyl 12. The 'Introducing Tokyo Prose' project of 2011 was more successful than we had hoped, with the sampler 12s taking the #1 and #2 spots in Chemical Records top vinyl sellers for 2011. A remix package was inevitable, and we took a different direction than some would have expected. The first remix of 'Echoes' come from Manchester's Synkro who has provided one of the most beautiful tunes we have heard in the last year. The clip of this tune has already had staggering success on Soundcloud and rave reviews from the likes of London Elektricity who gave it 5/5. Exit Recordings artist Consequence takes on 'LPK Sound' and renders the tune into a slow motion bliss out showered in an altogether unique vibe, nailed to a solid stepping kick. Two perfect examples of how a remix should be done, combined to make this one of our best releases ever.

Taking a detour from Drum & Bass, Mono's recent addition to the already impressive IM:Ltd catalogue is a seething mass of understated fury.The young Bornemouth producer might be a new face for some, but he's been known around these parts for a while and make sure that with this release, he's not going anywhere.

Sale Out - be fast

Kicking off what is set to be another incredible year for Metalheadz is a duo that encompasses all that's exciting about D&B right now. With hints of nostalgia blended with fresh ideas and sounds, Need For Mirrors are leading the new school of producers like no one else and this, their debut extended player for Headz will prove just that.

here's been plenty of exchange between the worlds of deeper dubstep and drum 'n' bass over the last few years, with producers like Instra:mental, Icicle and ASC regularly switching between the two to devastating effect. Holland's Gijs Snik, also known as Proxima, the latest signing to Tempa, is no exception. His tracks blend the best aspects of both genres, retaining the edgy moods of drum 'n' bass whilst channeling dubstep's interest in the physically overwhelming properties of sub-bass.
*Having started out producing rough-edged, densely percussive drum 'n' bass tracks, for his first ever solo release Proxima has dropped the tempo and upped the space. The result is a pair of subtly aggressive dubstep rollers that combine the warmer, altogether dubbier tones of genre greats like Digital Mystikz with drum 'n' bass's ceaseless forward drive. 'Formal Junction' is stark and metallic, all grinding robot chatter, constantly shifting percussive patterns and the occasional glimmer of melody. 'Grunge' on the flip is even more pared away, breaks in its rolling conga driven rhythm lent extra dread by sci-fi vocal samples.

Camo & Krooked return to the fore with Between The Lines an immense fourteen-track remix album which takes their award-winning debut on Hospital Cross The Line to a whole new level fresh for 20
