travelling to our extended network at the other side of the globe, we welcome australian producer safire and his very first dispatch recordings ep. emerging as one of the dark horses of the label of late, his debut ep consists of five superb tracks that combine raw elements with sophisticated production, to bring some of his best music to date. leading on from *power of thought*, safires contribution the transit 2 compilation, he heads straight for the jugular with title track *homeland*. deviating into 140 bpm territory on his second solo effort of the ep, *face your fear*, safire proves he can master all tempos. having previously joined forces with other artists for dispatch in the past, safire completes this ep by collaborating with yet more high profile artists. working with dlr on the ruthless *hurdles*, adding infectious vocals in *timeline* with cern, and sending out warning signals with minor rain for *transit*. each track is brought together with meticulously assembled drums, an ultra-high level of technical quality – you can expect to see a lot more from safire in the future.
