Music PremieresMusic Premieres

Dispatch Dubplate makes its long-awaited return with the first of six new releases, the first of those releases is brought to you by Mako, including a collab with Ben Soundscape.

Setting out to champion the best in unreleased music and those tunes which have been long cherished dubs by prominent figures within the DnB community, Dispatch Dubplate returns after an almost two-year break with this special release from Mako.

Heading up the release is ‘The Man’, a tune that Ant TC1 has been playing for years and could not put down. One that prompted constant ID requests from DJs and ravers alike, this tune fully represents the Dispatch Dubplate ethos due to the mystery and hype surrounding the track. Originally made as an experiment, with Mako wanting to focus on crusty-sounding production with no mid-bass or prominent fog horns, it’s a back-to-basic track that celebrates the raw energy of drum and bass. After much email wrangling and WhatsApp-based arm-twisting, we’re overjoyed this track is seeing the light of day as a release!

Completing the release is a collab with Ben Soundscape, Mako’s personal favourite of the three, ‘He’s Out There’. Utilising some drums from another tune called ‘Tell Me Something’ released by Mako on Metalheadz, the pair set out to make something new. Originally signed by the late, great, Marcus Intalex for Soul:R, it was eventually swapped out for a different tune of Mako’s, this makes it another perfect fit for Dispatch Dubplate, given the love and following it created during live sets but never saw the light of day, until now.
