Prominent Austrian drum and bass producers Akov and IAMDOOMED will be names known to many, creating waves throughout the scene with their razor-sharp production and high-energy output for many years.
Akov cites Octane & DLR’s “Method in the Madness” as the album that got him into drum and bass, so it is a pleasure to present his debut Dispatch Recordings release. Akov explores the deeper end of his influences across two-tracks, including a collaboration with IAMDOOMED, an artist who has been developing a unique sonic identity since moving away from his previous neuro roots.
The epic atmospherics of “Sabotage” contrast with a huge, rolling bassline, creating an infectious groove that rides throughout. “Catalyst” packs huge kicks and tough snares for a hard-stepping trip through warping bass and filtered sonics.

NC-17 returns to Dispatch Recordings with No One Lives Forever - a cinematic new full-length project shaped by Peter’s long-standing obsession with film culture, tension-building and stripped-back low-end design. Following a run of critically acclaimed LPs for the label, the album sees NC-17 refining his sound further than ever before: less clutter, more weight, more atmosphere and a deeper focus on groove, movement and emotional impact.
Heavily influenced by cinema both sonically and conceptually, No One Lives Forever plays like a series of noir-infused scenes unfolding across rolling subs, hypnotic percussion, razor-sharp drum programming and moments of widescreen intensity. The project arrives alongside a major crossover moment for the artist, with NC-17 featured in a new Sight & Sound (BFI) interview exploring the relationship between film and music, including contributions and quotes from legendary filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Paul Schrader, Sean Baker and Roger Avary.
Featuring guest appearances from Dub Head, Leaf, Myth and Philth, the album continues the aesthetic hinted at on lead samplers ‘Death Threat’ and ‘Bongo Inc’ - tracks already heavily supported by Ant TC1, Goldie and The Sauce camp.
With No One Lives Forever, NC-17 delivers his most focused and cinematic body of work to date - a record that bridges underground Drum & Bass craftsmanship with the atmosphere, pacing and emotional depth of cult cinema.
