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.
