‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ from NC-17 & Philth drops with rugged tech rollers

Release:

---

‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ is here, and it wastes absolutely no time getting to the point. This is a love letter to the golden tech era, rebuilt with 2026 muscle and engineered for basements, rooftops and those 3am sweaty warehouse moments where the lights cut and the subs take over.

Volume 3 of the ‘Last Of A Dying Breed’ series sees NC-17 and Philth digging deep into the blueprint that shaped a generation of heads. Think tight drums. Think stalking basslines. Think tension you can feel in your chest before the drop even lands. Then add modern production finesse, razor-sharp mixdowns and that instinctive dancefloor IQ both producers have sharpened over years of releases and global bookings.

‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ is not nostalgia for the sake of it. It is heritage with horsepower. The grooves roll with that progressive swing that defined the mid 2000s tech movement, yet every kick punches with contemporary weight. The low end stretches wide and confident. The atmospheres creep in like fog before the system erupts. This is selection ammunition for DJs who still believe in patience, pressure and payoff.

NC-17, founder of Grindhou5e Audio and long respected for his uncompromising edge, has always balanced brutality with finesse. Meanwhile, Philth’s catalogue across Dispatch, Integral and beyond has proven his ability to fuse soul, grit and club functionality in one clean sweep. Together, their chemistry feels effortless. Each tune on ‘Drum & Bass ‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ carries that layered, rolling momentum that keeps dancers locked, shoulders bouncing and reloads incoming.

There is a subtle nod to the culture stitched throughout. The heads who grew up on smoked-out clubs and dubplate rituals will hear it instantly. At the same time, newer ravers get a masterclass in how tech Drum & Bass should move a room. This EP does not chase trends. It builds its own lane and drives straight down it at full throttle.

If you live for tight transitions, creeping build-ups and basslines that stalk rather than shout, ‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ belongs in your crate. This is grown man pressure. This is dancefloor discipline. This is that late-night groove that keeps the lights low and the energy high.

Check out our premiere of ‘Concrete’ below. ‘Last Of A Dying Breed Volume 3’ dropped via Dispatch Recordings last Friday (6th Feb) and is available for you to get your hands on here!
