Black Barrel returns to Dispatch with Third Wave EP - a statement release that perfectly captures his signature blend of inventive rhythm design, deep musicality, and undeniable dance floor punch. Known for pushing beyond conventional drum & bass frameworks, Black Barrel once again delivers a body of work that feels both forward-thinking and built for serious system pressure.
This 4-track EP has been quietly building anticipation for months. With early support across Kool FM and heavy rotation in Ant TC1's DJ sets, these tracks have been carefully held back, waiting for the right moment to land - and now they arrive fully primed.
From stripped-back tension to rolling funk and emotive atmospherics, the Third Wave EP showcases Black Barrel's ability to balance creativity with impact. Each track carries its own identity while contributing to a cohesive sonic journey that reflects his ever-evolving sound.

With over two decades immersed in sound, Matt Chapman - aka Wreckless - delivers his debut Dispatch Recordings Album - Unforced Rhythms: a mature and deeply personal body of work shaped by his experience as an artist, educator and audio engineer.
Active in audio since 2004, Wreckless is a lecturer at two London universities, mixing & mastering engineer and established producer with music on Metalheadz, Dispatch Recordings, Subtitles, Sofa Sound, Flexout, Fokuz, Peer Pressure, Rebel Music and more. His work has received support across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Asian Network and Noisia Radio, reflecting the breadth of his reach across scene and sound.
This album channels that lifetime of practice. Drawing on his background in mixing, narrative-driven sound design and musical storytelling, Unforced Rhythms explores patience in creation - finding power in space, choosing subtlety over excess and letting emotion drive production. The title speaks to trusting momentum rather than forcing it, in music and in life.
The album explores recurring themes of decision-making, humility, faith, space and control. Its tracks move between rolling floor energy, meditative atmospheres and reflective listening pieces - all underpinned by Wreckless technical precision and emotional focus.
