You'll have seen tunes from these artists individually, but, even so, you aren't ready for the combo. Ram Up delivers bars from Rivibes and Jmans recognisable vocals, riding over Gaw's tough dancefloor-primed beats, bass and reggae-referencing samples. It's a call to arms for real DnB ravers, given an extra layer of grit on the VIP relick. Then Rivibes and Gaw's gangsta rave-smasher 'Landmine' completes the package. Get ready for the triple threat.

Following his standout debut for Dispatch Limited with the Stay Easy EP, Ezor returns to the label with Banh Bao EP, further refining the stripped-back, precision-engineered sound that has made him one of the underground's most distinctive emerging talents. Since first appearing in 2018, the St. Petersburg-born producer has steadily built a reputation through releases on Dispatch, Ekou, Blu Saphir, Forbidden Society and Citate Forms, blending meticulous drum programming with weighty low-end pressure and immersive atmospherics.\n\nInspired by the iconic Vietnamese steamed bun that has become a staple of Ezor's adopted home, Banh Bao EP captures the producer's ability to balance serious technical craftsmanship with a playful sense of character. Across four expertly sculpted cuts, rolling grooves, crisp percussion and understated funk combine with cavernous basslines and hypnotic textures, delivering music built equally for late-night dancefloors and deep listening.\n\nHaving spent years cultivating drum & bass communities across Russia and Southeast Asia while continually evolving his production style, Ezor once again demonstrates why he's become a name to watch among DJs seeking forward-thinking, on point club music. Banh Bao EP is another confident statement from an artist operating firmly in his own lane.

Spanning five track-strong showcases of the full breadth of his sound, we are proud to present the Dog Days EP.
