MANTA is back on diascope!
And he surges up with a hauntingly beautiful co-driver from Berlin. Her name is Frida Vamos. She flanks Mantas sharp drums and radiant Lead synths in "Out Of My Mind" with her unique voice. A pageant made of rhythms, melodies, vocals and feelings.
"Melon Groove" is like a fruit salad: fresh, colourful, sweet and sour, fragrant, diverse. 

We hope you enjoy this tasty EP!

49.Noidex - Receptive Minds

@MELdnb

The neon skyline of VTO District pulsed with artificial life, its towering spires cloaked in holographic smog.

Cyber Police Commissioner MEL, a former Cyber Army soldier, had seen war, seen the collapse of flesh against machines, but nothing prepared her for this hunt.

The Cells Interlinked Program had failed—every bio-human agent sent after the elusive sorcerer
Paperclip had vanished. Now, it was her turn. 

With a squad of mechanized enforcers, she ventured beyond the district’s reinforced perimeter, stepping into the Wastelands—a graveyard of 22nd-century skyscrapers now twisted into radioactive tombs.

The air crackled with the whispers of former human resistance fighters, their bodies warped by exposure into something beyond flesh, beyond reason. These creatures were no longer men, no longer machines—just horrors left behind by time’s cruelty.

Every step deeper into the wasteland was a gamble. MEL’s cybernetic HUD flickered as the Otherworldly Things watched from the shadows, their glowing eyes scanning for fresh prey.
The deeper they ventured, the more the world distorted, reality bending in ways it shouldn’t. Paperclip was here. 

His magic—somehow resistant to cybernetic logic—was warping the terrain, turning allies into enemies, twisting steel into serpents. If MEL failed, her team wouldn’t just die; they would become something else. 

She clenched her pulse rifle, knowing that the sorcerer was watching.

Would she find him before her own humanity slipped away? Would she even want to, once she
understood the true nature of the cells' interlinked failure? Time would tell.

We are delighted and excited to welcome to VTO Records, one of the trailblazers of Neurofunk Drum and bass right now.

A super active DJ in our UK scene with additional appearances across the globe racking up.
She is a Ram Records & UKF alumni, and has been in heavy rotation and demand with multiple large events and labels in the past few years. MEL stands firmly on VTO Records now with 2 absolute nanslapping mammoth Neurofunk DNB tracks that will surely top the charts at a rapid pace.

1/ MEL “Night Fire”

We kicks off with a cinematic swell of atmospheric textures, layering deep, resonant pads with an
emotional synth lead that instantly sets the stage for something massive.

The tension builds instantly, a true opening statement for any DNB DJ looking to set the tone. As the track unfolds, crisp, high-paced percussion cuts through the haze, guiding the energy forward while weighty, surgically placed bass hits pulse beneath.

There’s an undeniable sense of grandeur here—epic yet controlled, heavy but never overbearing. "Night Fire" doesn’t just ignite a set; it announces its presence with precision, emotion, and pure dancefloor weight.

2/ MEL “Madness”

“Madness" teases euphoria from the outset, opening with shimmering yet uplifting synths that stretch towards something almost blissful—until the lurking growl of a heavily filtered bassline starts to surface, hinting at something far nastier beneath.

When the filter finally snaps open, it’s a full-scale assault: a monstrous bass stab detonates, clearing the way for pounding 4/4 drum patterns that drive the dancefloor into motion.

Just as the groove settles, MEL flips the switch, diving into a signature DNB rhythm, where an Ed Rush & Optical-style bassline slithers and rolls beneath the mix, full of movement and attitude.
The track’s namesake "madness" vocal sample punctuates the chaos, leading seamlessly into the final drop—where the four-on-the-floor pulse returns, locking dancers into one last hypnotic push before the energy fades. Controlled chaos, executed with precision.

MEL leads the way for VTO Records on April 25th

MEL- Madness- VTO Records- 2025

She pressed the wrong key. Just one mistake—and the world around her shattered into thousands of fragments of reality. Her pulse quickened, her breathing turned shallow, and her mind raced desperately, trying to rewind everything back—but it was already too late. Mistakes aren't forgiven, especially when the stakes are this high.

Den Blacky, in collaboration with Muwa, mansaymo, Aptom, UNISOUNDSPRO, and revidead, presents "Misclicks"—a dramatic, intense release where every note is like a trigger, and every beat counts down toward an explosion. The atmosphere of inevitability, pulsing basslines, and piercing melodies draw listeners into a whirlwind of events, where decisions are made in mere fractions of a second.

Are you ready to pass through the chaos created by a single wrong move? Or will you remain a mere spectator, watching as everything burns?
