After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.
The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.
“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.
To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.
“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”
The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.
The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.
With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.

Rising talents of the Belgian drum & bass scene, Hiraeth & Drumslave make their Dispatch Limited debut with the SRSLY EP, a statement release that firmly plants their sound in the lineage of classic rolling drum & bass while pushing it forward with modern finesse.
United by a shared ethos and passion for the sound, the duo deliver four tightly-crafted tracks, alongside a bonus Bandcamp-exclusive cut, finding a natural home on Dispatch Limited. This is drum & bass made with intent: groove-led, atmospheric, and driven by subtle, patient progression rather than fleeting trends.
The SRSLY EP is a tribute to timeless club music - rollers designed for DJs, road-tested in club systems, and built to work over long mixes. Weighty low-end, restrained tension, and finely balanced arrangements give each track longevity without sacrificing impact.
