plasma audio presents a true all-star lineup. pressing on coloured 180 gram vinyl, comes with download code.

a collaboration of seismic proportions, we present “the last renegade” from safire, dlr & drs, backed with two experimental dlr forays called “dreaming of a place”. sinister, brooding and shaped with intent, “the last renegade” sees safire & dlr combining to create a half time beast, with the piercing vocals of drs a perfect fit. developing the dreamland themes from his last album, dlr explores dub and techno influences and more downtempo vibes on two mixes of “dreaming of a place”. digressing from the more typical dispatch format, dlr, along with safire & drs, express their artistic freedom to display the depth in quality within the label today.
for the vinyl heads, there will be a limited run of heavyweight clear vinyl pressed, shrink-wrapped within a bespoke, full colour sleeve.

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.

the second episode of the brand new avantgarde label sees the label co-owner himself dabs, joining forces with the melbourne based producer safire and the legendary mc lowqui.hideout is a stomper. minimal noisy hits grab you into a ultra-catchy riff bassline, carried on by punchy drumlines and big percussions stabs. heavily supported by the likes of icicle, ant tc1, optiv & btk, heavy1. flipside is frome the bulgarian promise l 33, we are pretty sure you are going to hear big things from him in the near future. complex things is ultraminimal and dark, with great identity and interesting snares and crunchy hits. definately reckonizable everytime after the first listening!

passafire s longshot, the full-length follow up to vines (2013) and the interval ep (2015), finds the band continuing to stretch in new musical directions, while still maintaining a strong core of reggae elements. some songs tread into 90s grunge, hip hop and even current pop, but for hardcore passafire fans, this genre-bending style will come as no surprise for a band that has always pushed itself through experimentation, with a foundation of hummable hooks and vicious musicianship. a guest spot by rapper mr. lif also contributes a new angle on the song -blow. vines debuted at 1 on billboard record chart.

passafire has built their reputation up through relentless touring and a series of studio albums that have upped the ante each time out with its songwriting, musicianship and production. the band’s fifth studio album, vines, is their strongest yet, featuring a super tight set of songs that draw on reggae and alternative rock in equal measures. produced by the band and mixed by paul leary (sublime, slightly stoopid, pepper, meat puppets). the limited vinyl release includes a download code.

for us at 1985 music, our various artists series are extremely important to us. it not only provides a great platform to celebrate music from a wide range of artists, it enables us to promote both veterans and newcomers in the scene, and to introduce them as part of our extended family.
