As far as labels go, Dispatch Recordings is one of my personal favourites. With a level of quality control that i believe to be un-paralleled throughout this wonderfully diverse scene, Dispatch continues to push boundaries as well as nurturing some of the most exciting breakthrough artists in recent times.
Now in it’s 15th operational year, label boss Ant TC1, with the help of Alex ‘Onset’, has consistently kept the label at the forefront of deep, intelligent, rolling beats and can be credited, almost entirely, with the respective meteoric rises of various artists that are universally recognised as being some of the most talented and technically gifted producers to have made D&B in recent years, including: Octane & DLR, Survival & Silent Witness and SCAR – to name just a few.
Currently on the approach to their 100th release on the main label catalogue, having recently released Philth’s ‘The Cirlce’ EP as DIS097, the label runs two separate imprints in the form of the ‘Dispatch Limited’ series, which in recent times has boasted high level music from the likes of ‘Dubhead’, ‘Quadrant & NC-17’ and ‘Gerra & Stone’, as well as the ‘Dispatch Dubplate’ series, focussing on vinyl-only distribution of previously unreleased VIP’s of popular Dispatch material.
Not content with being one of the best labels going, the label has enlisted the help of some of europe’s best underground promoters to hold Dispatch Recordings events in major cities and at huge festivals around the continent; namely in our very own Bristol, where some of the best lineups & atmospheres can be found.
Check out this recent free download: ‘Amoss – Rollpipe VIP’, available alongside various downloadable mixes & other label material from the Dispatch Recordings soundcloud.
