Serpnt Returns to Dispatch Recordings with Wingz and M:FX for ‘Styx / Fracture’

Share

Serpnt is back on home turf at Dispatch Recordings, this time bringing Wingz and Vienna’s M:FX along for a two-track release ‘Styx / Fracture’, that’s already proven itself where it counts, on the dancefloor.

‘Styx’ opens things up, a collaboration between Serpnt and Wingz built around the Greek myth of the river separating the living from the dead. It’s dark, immersive and unhurried, haunting atmospheres layered over rolling drums and low end that sits heavy in the chest. Hypnotic and foreboding in equal measure, it’s the sound of both artists’ mood-driven precision at full strength, the kind of track that turns a packed room quiet and watchful before the bass drops.

Flip it over for ‘Fracture’, where Serpnt teams up with M:FX for something stripped back but no less effective. Intricate drum programming, tension-coiled sound design and serious bass pressure define the track, balancing the darker tone of the release while bringing its own distinct edge. Where ‘Styx’ broods, ‘Fracture’ cuts, all sharp edges and technical precision built for systems that can handle the low end.

Together, the two tracks make a genuinely complementary pairing, atmosphere and mythology on one side, technical bite on the other, both rooted in the same dark palette but pulling in different directions across the dancefloor.

Speaking on the release, Dispatch founder Ant TC1 said:

“It’s a release that’s been a fairly long time coming but both tracks have built a steady momentum across my DJ sets for some time now so the timing feels right. Both strong tracks with a degree of variation that complement each other really well. Goes without saying that with these artists involved collaboratively the production is grade A.”

Serpnt’s relationship with Dispatch has been a consistent thread through the label’s recent output, and this return underlines exactly why. Wingz brings a similarly detail-focused, mood-driven approach that pairs naturally with Serpnt’s style, while M:FX, operating out of Vienna, adds a European technical edge to the label’s catalogue, precision-built Drum & Bass that rewards close listening as much as it does a big rig.

Bringing together three respected names from across the current Drum & Bass landscape, ‘Styx / Fracture’ is a release built on atmosphere, technical precision and dancefloor impact, a natural fit for the Dispatch catalogue.

For collectors, the release will also be available in a strictly limited run of 10″ lathe cut dubplates, a physical edition for those who want it in their hands as much as their sets.
