working with dlr on the ruthless *hurdles*, adding infectious vocals in *timeline* with cern, and sending out warning signals with minor rain for *transit*. having previously joined forces with other artists for dispatch in the past, safire completes this ep by collaborating with yet more high profile artists. deviating into 140 bpm territory on his second solo effort of the ep, *face your fear*, safire proves he can master all tempos. leading on from *power of thought*, safires contribution the transit 2 compilation, he heads straight for the jugular with title track *homeland*. 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. Travelling to our extended network at the other side of the globe, we welcome australian producer safire and his very first dispatch recordings ep. a statement of intent towards soul and groove driven music, each track is personified by simple ideas meticulously arranged, as dlr prioritises the raw elements to enhance the groove and sub bass, allowing each aspect enough space to breathe and develop. Musically, the album is honest, straight up and sound design focused, as dlr pays homage to the older styles of dnb, building on the genre’s core principles, writing his own chapter in bristol’s long running heritage. encouraging people to challenge the barriers and comfort zones we blissfully exist within, dlr seeks to resist the inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into, an inherently greed based system, where numbers govern art and culture, whilst popularity determines the success of social causes, as issues are picked up and dropped in the blink of an eye. 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.ĭispatch recordings proudly present ‘dreamland’ – the 2nd solo album from bristol based dlr.Ĭontinuing where his 2015 debut ‘seeing sounds’ left off, ‘dreamland’ is an album concept that reflects on the world today. 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). trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013. *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. 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.
