Sampler 2 from NC-17's forthcoming Dispatch Recordings LP continues to showcase the refined, low-slung aesthetic running throughout the project, this time leaning into hypnotic tribal rhythms and relentless groove-focused energy. 'Bongo Inc' is a masterclass in controlled momentum - tightly wound percussion, rolling subs and intricate drum work combine to create a track that feels both understated and devastatingly effective on a sound system. With its stripped-back framework and infectious pulse, the track embodies the album's core ethos: precision, space and weight over unnecessary complexity. Already tested heavily by key selectors including Ant TC1, Goldie and The Sauce, 'Bongo Inc' has quickly become one of the standout DJ tools from the forthcoming LP, delivering deep dancefloor impact while pushing NC-17's sound into fresh territory.

Karnal steps up for his debut on Dispatch Limited with a heavyweight two-tracker in 'Set Speed / Procedure.' 'When these tunes came in as demos I'd never heard of Zac's work previously. It's always a nice surprise when someone you've never heard of sends some great music over, and I jumped at the chance to sign these. Bristol bass with a modern twist throughout on these two, grade A production too. Can't wait to hear more of what he does in future.' - Ant TC1 'Set Speed' wastes no time setting the tone - lively vocal cuts ride over relentless rolling drums and heavyweight low-end pressure, delivering pure soundsystem energy with a sharp modern edge. There's a rawness at the core, but every element is dialled with precision, balancing Bristol bass heritage with slick, forward-facing production. That same momentum carries seamlessly into 'Procedure', locking into a deeper, heads-down groove while maintaining the tension and drive established on the A-side. Taut atmospherics, rugged bass weight and intricate drum work underline Karnal's instinct for movement and control across both tracks. Two cuts packed with energy and intent - a standout debut from a producer already carving a distinct lane for himself.
