PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a new wave of experiments from Paperfunk Recordings

The third-generation capsules are opening. Inside lies a fusion of ideas conceived within the walls of the Neuropunk Academy and tempered in the laboratories of rhythm. Under the bass microscope and within the sequencer grids, fresh forms of sound are being born — prototypes ready to break free from their blueprints and speak the language of the dancefloor.

Curated by Paperclip, Menfort (Gydra) and NERV3 — three seasoned architects of sound who have combined their experience and taste to guide the participants through every stage of track creation, from the very first ideas to fully armed club weapons.

Inside PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 you’ll find:

Bass constructions with mutation effects — lines that change shape in real time, like a living organism under a microscope.

Rhythmic fractures — grooves that shatter predictability and make your body react on instinct.

Technoid filigree — every detail of each track sharpened down to the millisecond, yet still breathing with the creator’s energy.

This compilation is a proving ground where a new generation of drum & bass producers put their sonic machines to the test under full dancefloor combat conditions. Different approaches, unique voices, one shared drive for a breakthrough.

PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a test drive of the future, and you’ve got the ticket right now.

NERV3 - Rat Race [Paperfunk Recordings] PREMIERE

Cat No: EVOC073
Artist: @ReceptorMusic x @engage
Title: ‘Surgeon’
Release Date: 10th October 2025
Record Label: Evolution Chamber

Few names carry the weight and innovation of Receptor, a producer long regarded as one of Drum & Bass’s most forward-thinking figures since his debut in 2008. As one of the founding members of Evolution Chamber, his influence has been cemented through ground-breaking solo works and collaborations that consistently raise the bar. Among those partnerships, his creative synergy with Engage has stood out for its intensity and precision, yielding tracks like Bio, Wi-Fi Waves, and Gothic. Now, a decade later, the pair return to the fold with their latest creation - “Surgeon.”

From its opening, Surgeon sets an unsettling tone with eerie pads and delicate hats, laying the groundwork for a sense of tension and intrigue. The track quickly develops with a phone-dial motif and thudding bass kicks, before dropping into an eruption of sharp snares and gritty, protruding bass stabs that cut through the mix with precision. Razor-edged FX and meticulous detail carry the momentum forward, making each bar bristle with energy.

Just when the pressure becomes overwhelming, the breakdown offers a brief reprieve before the track surges forward again into a second drop, this time with an even sharper bite. Clear-cut drums, rigorous low-end weight, and driving rhythms give Surgeon a raw and uncompromising edge, all while keeping an underlying sense of unpredictability that keeps the energy alive until the very end.

What makes this release stand out is how both Receptor and Engage take centre stage, and effortlessly combine their unique approaches: Receptor’s reputation for forward-thinking production and Engage’s trademark grit and precision. Together, they have created a track that reinforces Evolution Chamber’s reputation as a label committed to originality, creativity, and artistry within the Drum & Bass sphere.

Vertx - Shadowline (Original Mix)

Have you ever thought about how the development of technology influences human beings, their rational thinking, and decision-making? We live in a digital age, and whether we like it or not, it affects most people on a broad scale – both negatively and positively. In my opinion, its impact on electronic music is definitely positive. The new mix is made up of tracks by artists who don’t go with the commercial flow but rather experiment with their sound, which is constantly evolving. Just like technology. 🤖

Přemýšleli jste někdy nad tím, jak vývoj technologií ovlivňuje lidské bytosti, jejich racionální myšlení a rozhodování? Žijeme v digitální době, a ať se nám to líbí, nebo ne, zasahuje to většinu lidí plošně – ať už negativně, či pozitivně. Na elektronickou hudbu to má podle mě vliv jednoznačně pozitivní. Nový mix se skládá ze skladeb umělců, kteří neplují komerčním proudem, ale experimentují se svým zvukem, který se neustále vyvíjí. Stejně tak jako technologie. 🤖

The Smell of Males - Live@Agrorave 28.09.25

The city hasn’t woken yet. Along white blueprint lines a snail-machine glides in — a capsule that has carried its tempo for years. Ichor returns with the news of patience rather than haste: every hit a step on wet pavement, the bass a warm engine beneath the panels. “Finally Here” is a story of arrival without fanfare — translating life’s noise into meter, assembling ourselves from circuits, screws and half-remembered melodies. No theatrics, only steady resolve, the amber glow of the dashboard, and the quiet certainty that home isn’t a dot on a map but the moment your pulse locks to the city. Through micro-details, flickering hats and a deep, breathing sub, Ichor sketches an inner itinerary: from the first shove to an even stride. No extra words. We’re, truly, finally here.
