AKOV had a platform to release his first attempt at the subgenre of drum & bass on his Construct EP which paints an interesting picture when listening through his back catalogue. A clear progression can be observed from start to finish thanks to the freedom to release anything the artist made in a Linear fashion through the model of free downloads which were promoted exclusively through the prominent youtube channel of NFG.
