skeptical lands his first release since the massive >marka< which rounded off a great year for this talented d&b producer. here he joins mc fokus who on the aa side >the truth< lends his superb vocals however on the a side >fluctuate< he gets down to joint production duties with skeptical to knock up a huge weighty techno inspired roll-out. quite simply we think this is a great release from 2 names to watch throughout 2012 and we hope you agree!
dj support on this relaase from: ant tc1, dj hype, spectrasoul, yongsta, d-bridge, kasra, doc scott, xtrah, marky, spinline, foreign concept, vicious circle, mindscape, artificial intelligence, laurent garnier, amoss, loxy, blu-mar-ten, survival, ebk, cern, octane & dlr, safire, nymfo, subterra, hydro & chris su.

introducing a new label, with a direction, we proudly present dispatch blueprints, returning for the second release with kid drama and the one and only skeptical.
bringing the deeper sound to the forefront, it made natural sense to welcome back label stalwart skeptical, whose sub centered sound has remained an inspiration since his dispatch debut in 2010 and subsequent output on labels like exit, r&s and soul:r.
when combined with the eclecticism of kid drama, it makes for a stunning fusion, developing the blueprints foundation and delving further into the lower frequencies.
setting the path for our new imprint in the best way, with some of our very favourite artists, we are proud to showcase both skeptical & kid drama on dispatch blueprints.

shoot recordings presents fierce, a collection of dancefloor sickness from some of today’s finest bass technicians.
calculon, shamanga & austin speed drop the original, a savage, banging slice of classic hardcore fast-forwarded to the future. cutting and chopping with swooping sci-fi basslines, fierce earns its name, the meanest track shoot’s released.
dj madd turns the sick first mix, a halftime juke rework that puts fierce in a lowrider and serves it a cup of sizzurp. the bounce version for all the cali heads.
skeptikal is up next, deep-freezing the track into a tidy stepper. focusing the track’s scope, it’s a deep space killer, exactly what you’d expect from the don.
survival is the anchor, turning out a rugged neuro vibes that race through the nighttime city streets to assassinate your eardrums. the darkside sickness.
four tracks of pure fierce. shoot recordings for 2017, dancefloor innovation.

a duo to watch closely throughout 2011 and beyond drop 2 minimal punchy blinders on dispatch. skeptical and dub phizix come more than correct with >silo< and >the enemy< and it appears we are not the only ones that love these 2 tracks as they are getting a rather heavy dose of support from the likes of skream, d-bridge, ant tc1, octane & dlr, survival, loxy, nymfo, teebee, vc and ulterior motive! watch out for more from these 2 on the label real soon!

dispatch recordings is proud to count the manchester legend among its ranks from now on. you cant have missed one of the numerous top notch sounds he’s been providing throughout his long career. he is now gathering a forward thinking and historically self conscious music that we could easily define as pretty unique in its genre. the soul:r boss offers us this time a really valuable glimpse of what d&b should be nowadays: inventive, energetic and technically perfect. when all these elements meet the great sense of groove of the big soul master, you have a result you can genuinely be happy with. so are we.

in a pretty typical sabre fashion he has sent us a tune called >halo danger<, expectedly what we heard instantly was pure danger and another killer in the works … now here it is coming your way on the 4th of june 2012. insane production as ever, huge riff, huge snappy drums, huge low end. it is an instant dispatch fave for us! we say no more… on the flip we have sabres often studio production partner in crime halogenix bringing us something solo, completely creative, fresh and inspiring. his productions are quickly building a reputation and >laika< holds no exception!
dj support is very widespread on this release already coming from the likes of: dj marky, alex perez, ant tc1, jubei, spectrasoul, octane & dlr, klute, zero t, rockwell (ministry of sound radio), lenzman, icicle (as featured on rinse19 cd), ulterior motive, skeptical, hybris, kasra, nymfo & safire.

edition 1 is a various artists compilation and the ninth release on alix perez 1985 music. the album is to be understood as a statement of intent as well as a snapshot where the label is right now. alix has assembled his favourite artists operating within the 85bpm / 170bpm axis and the result is a coherent album that cements ties with newcomers such as monty, deft and tsuruda whilst also bringing new light to existing relationships with fracture, ivy lab and chimpo amongst others. its an exciting time for 1985 music, an outlet thats quickly becoming known for great art across the board: be it music, clothing or design.

decadent yet depraved, the debut album by belief defect, finds shelter and complicity in raster as home and label. familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, belief defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries or expectations earned or self imposed and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener. at the core of the album is the music that inspired them, the conclusion of countless recordings listened to in their formative years that ultimately result in a life-long devotion to electronic music: from dance floor to primal anger and self-annihilating noise, to transcendental, ambient escapism and intense self-reflexive sonic layering. the result is a soundtrack for this apocalyptic time, an uncompromising reflection on the state of mankind and its uncertain future underscored by a sense of religious and secular demise referenced in track titles, samples, and soundscapes scattered throughout the album. yet, more than a political statement decadent yet depraved is an introspective journey, turning each listener into a spiritual soul-seeker staring into the abyss, reaching for some kind of cathartic truthfulness.

thus far, 1985 music has boasted a number of releases as the new home of its founder, alix perez. till date, there have been releases from alix and a select few collaborators shades w/ eprom, taso (teklife) and skeptical (exit records). it is with the release of this ep where 1985 music present themselves as a platform for new talent. perez’s vision for 1985 is “...to push and support good, forward thinking music that i believe represents the focus of 1985..”. it is with this in mind that we proudly present the ‘hold me back’ ep from toulouse’s finest - monty. monty has already had support from noisia, kasra and skeptical and can boast releases of singles on critical music and invisible recordings. this 4 track ep is mature and refreshing, and has been received well whenever played out. the music is dark, dynamic, minimal and refreshingly modern.

since 2007, ulterior motive have been providing devastating future dance floor funk for the most discerning of drum and bass lovers. since releasing their debut album and a tranche of singles on seminal label metalheadz, 2017 now sees them finally launch their own imprint guidance. guidance: initially starting life in 2007 as an event, guidance has gone full circle and will now be the label and home for their music. it promises to be a name that stands for the aesthetic the duo have become infamous for, beautifully and intricately crafted music and sound that can shake any venue to it’s very foundations. guidance 001 showcases four powerful yet also varied tracks from the pair. they join forces with one of the best to ever host, sp:mc, on ‘the wobbler’, and also team up with production wizard icicle on ‘anode’. two more solo tracks from the pair in the form of ‘clap ya’ and ‘kamakura’ wrap up an exquisite first release that highlights the pair’s formidable intentions for the future. support from: dbridge, skeptical, xtrah, dlr, ant tc1, jubei, friction, icicle & rockwell.

a few years ago we received an anonymous email with a link to three tracks and a simple message: “hi, maybe you would be interested in this music.” it’s easy to be skeptical of yet another link from yet another artist in a world overcrowded with them, but listening is our job and so we do it. the songs were instantly striking: extraordinarily slow, somber, and spacious, each vaulted cathedral chord reverberating poetically into the distance, the melodies rolling out like fog across a cemetery. captivated, we requested more, receiving a single word in response: “yes.” then, nothing. eventually, three months later, we received another email with slightly more information: a name (irma orm), a location (stockholm), and a bit of context (she worked alone, and progress on music was slow but steady).
fast-forward to mid-2016: we’re informed the album is complete, and it is breathtaking. hermetic gothic swan songs conjured from funereal piano, twilit ambience, minimalist percussion, and spellbinding vocals. the mood is lulling and lush but lost in sorrow, stark grey structures looming in the night. majestic open spaces between notes heighten the melancholic grandeur of orm’s arrangements, blurring the line between lament and lullaby. the songs less end than ebb away, succumbing to their own downcast beauty.

alix perez and spectrasoul have earned their stripes as pioneers of the deeper and more melodic side of the genre. these gentlemen are known for their versatility, and their progressive attitudes toward music. both acts came up through shogun, and their first collaboration forsaken quickly became a benchmark for quality in drum and bass. the synergy ep is 4 tracks of concise, stripped back, mature and soulful music that bumps. perez and spectrasoul have recently formed their own imprints, and as a celebration of this, the synergy ep is a joint release between the artists labels - ish chat music (spectrasoul), and 1985 music (alix perez). the ep has seen repeated support from dbridge, skeptical, lsb, lenzman, marky, ivy lab and others.

t’s been two and half years since the release of jubei’s landmark debut album for metalheadz and now we are proud to present the remix package. the remix ep has new interpretations from a hand-picked selection of the finest artists- om unit, blocks and escher, ulterior motive and skeptical all turn in massive remixes that makes this release as special as the original project.

belgian producer alix depauw is probably best known for his long-running association with shogun audio, where he started out making drum & bass and eventually moved towards halftime and other sounds inspired by soul and r&b. he’s also collaborated on experimental bass music with eprom under the name shades. the first ep on his new 1985 music imprint, elephant dreams, is a four-tracker from depauw himself and reportedly marks a return to his drum & bass roots. it also features two collaborations with skeptical.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

our first offering from survival and silent witness sets off the tone of what to expect from the full *in from the wild* package itself and album which seems to morph and twist from all out dance floor brutality to musical genius and back like these 2 artists seem to do so often and so effortlessly. *the feeding* is a powerful space age drum-shuffled crowd killer whilst *lights* presents a more musical journey from start to finish, in our eyes it is a very complete 12 inch pick from a very well pieced album. trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013.
support for the album so far from: friction (on bbc radio 1), laurent garnier (on his pbb worldwide radio show), london elektricity (on his hospital records xmas podcast). select tracks have also received wide support and praise from the likes of calyx & teebee, break, ant tc1, nymfo (as featured on his fabric mix), xtrah, youngsta, octane, dlr, skeptical, artificial intelligence, dbr uk, basher, mindscape, lynx, cern, hybris, ruckspin, june miller and gerra & stone.
