Dispatch Recordings proudly presents a long-awaited return to drum and bass for Cern, as he marks his return to the label with the brooding Desire Path EP.

Known for his dark and brooding take on the genre, veteran Cern delivers five richly textured, rolling, deep-cuts on this impressive varied EP. 

The drum-heavy title track Desire Path reveals a tense, rugged journey through spacial soundscapes punctured with precision drum edits. 

The EP balances dark and light throughout, with each track revealing a different side to Cerns atmospheric productions.

The self-titled OneMind album project blurs the gap between jungle, dub and electronica, with each production detailed enough that new sounds are discovered on every listen, something that the duo have stated they feel is missing from modern electronic dance music.

Making his long-awaited Dispatch return, Cern brings us the superb ‘Spirit House EP’.

In only the second release since his 2014 album ‘Under Another Sky’, we are instantly reminded of the Kiwi’s talents, casting his own shadow with rolling vibes of the highest order.

Although no longer a UK resident, the EP feels very much like a homecoming for us at Dispatch, as we proudly welcome one of our most celebrated label acts in recent years.

Building suspense expertly and with resounding alchemy, Cern presents a collection of tracks with timeless value, further elevating his reputation as one of the scene’s finest producers.

It can be argued that drum and bass full-lengths are tasked with the challenge of remaining engaging across their run-time, despite the music being primarily geared for DJ mixing. When a release manages to pull it off it can yield spectacular results, and Cern’s Terminus definitely delivers.
