Mister Shifter teams up with his close friend Fanu yet again, this time on Dispatch Dubplate. Two producers who share a profound love of sampling and manipulating fresh breakbeats, showcase what they do best on this 4-track release.
“Reverse Dawn” from Fanu sets the tone for this release, its otherworldly atmospheres are matched with precision drum work and tense, driving bass. This track was the initial spark that birthed this release. When the contrasting remix from Mister Shifter arrived it was clear they belonged on the same Dispatch Dubplate.
Mister Shifter takes Fanu’s “Reverse Dawn” into bold & contrasting new territory by adding high-powered breakbeats (some courtesy of Paradox and Mako), clever edits, and a floor-quaking bassline. Many of Fanu's ethereal & moody elements remain intact, letting the remix proudly showcase the finest qualities of each producer.
Vinyl-exclusive “The Kingpin” pays homage to the famed Blue Note-era sound, while looking forward with modern production techniques and aesthetics. This track pulls no punches, featuring a devastating mid-song change-up that rivals anything Mister Shifter has released to date. Fans of HBO’s “The Wire” will appreciate the dialogue samples from which the track draws its name. A staple in Mister Shifter’s DJ sets, “The Kingpin” has received support around the globe from the likes of Gremlinz, Double O, Mantra, Andy Odysee, and Djinn.
Capping off the release is old-school rave banger “That Dreama Trak VIP”, taking things back to where it all started by lowering the BPM and elevating the vibes. Drawing inspiration from the likes of 2 Bad Mice and early ’90s Moving Shadow, Mister Shifter gives us a modern take on the hardcore breakbeat and rave music that helped shape his musical foundation. Pitched-down Amen & Think breaks, Mentasms, and vocal samples combine into an anthemic, hands-in-the-air floor-filler.

well done! pure dope, fantastic output by quartz. metalheadz is such a great label!
quartz has his own sound, blacklist fits perfectly to the metalheadz tradition.
it is both kind of retro and futuristic.
highly recommended, play it loud, the bass kicks:-)
that's the way i like it. quartz became quickly my favourite producer in this kind of music. dub orange
