Born atop the forgotten ruins of a crumbling city, a new civilization had emerged from the ruin wrought by demonkind upon the landscape that lay beneath them. Lead by their prophets of a new and powerful faith, the people of this civilization had risen up against the demon kings, wielding the magic of their divine allies as weapons with which to exorcise their being once more from the land. This war though hard fought had born fruit, and with the slaying of the final demon the people had rejoiced, celebrating their victories with monumental constructions to mark the beginning of a new and golden era. Foremost of these was the great cathedral that lay at the heart of their new city, built both as a space of worship for the populace and as an eternal ward of imprisonment for the souls of demonkind which could not be slain, forever condemning them to an incorporeal existence under the watchful eye of the divine.

Ages had passed since then, and time had once again ground its steady edge against the minds of the people and upon the stones and timbers that had supported the great city for so long. Ritual had been forgotten, and structures of greater grandeur had been built as the city expanded, relegating it’s once monumental cathedral to neglect. Thus it was that the falling of only a single candle had lit an aged timber in it’s great hall, in so doing weakening the ancient wards that had kept the demonic spirits at bay. Ever vigilant in their ceaseless desire to escape, the demon kings fanned this flame with their focused ire, nurturing it from a single mote into a overwhelming conflagration that tore at the runic chains that had bound them for so long. Before long, the roaring of the flames was augmented by the howls of demonic spirits set free from a millennia of imprisonment, their visages taking form in the fire as manifestations of their burning rage. As the inferno bellowed ever higher, the city cowered in fear, for it was clear that the time of DIVERGENCE had come once more.

EATBRAIN unleashes the full fury of their horde with the fourth installment in their DIVERGENCE compilation series, a gargantuan 26 track compilation filled to the brim with new tracks from EATBRAIN mainstays and newcomers alike. Brought together by their affinities for EATBRAIN’s unrestrained neurofunk sound, the artists within deliver a tour de force of the label’s guiding philosophy with ferocious basslines and terrifying sonic atmospheres alike, delivering a mammoth series of tracks set to inspire the fervor of the label’s horde in the months to come.

Long forgotten amidst the cragged slope of a dormant volcano, the ruins of an ancient temple stood firm in silent reverence. A millennia of lava flows had reforged its walls time and time again, warping the structure’s dimensions each time as stone was birthed and culled by the forces that were its primordial progenitor. For thousands of years this cycle had raged at the edges of the temple compound, and yet for thousands of years one singular structure had remained - the great bronze idol of the temple’s forgotten patron deity, untouched by the tongues of raging flame. 

There had been no true supplicants for hundreds of years, and only a scant few visitors had ever braved the rigorous journey along the obsidian-clad spines that lay below the temple even to simply gaze upon its ruined form. Thus it was that when a lone traveler clad in orange robes entered the inner transept of the Temple, his bare feet bloodied from the pilgrimage, the long-smoldering flame of devotion roared to life behind the eyes of the great statue as the volcanic ground quivered expectantly beneath it. With ritual pilgrimage completed by this stranger, a new age could now begin. Under the Gydra’s watchful eye, the lava would run again. 

GYDRA make a triumphant return to EATBRAIN as they reignite the flame of LAVA RUN, delivering a VIP mix of the famed track to delight of the EATBRAIN horde’s eager ears. Meanwhile, label boss JADE unveils JADE VENOM and adapts the serpentine qualities of his new alias to remix GYDRA’s IKRA, perhaps the most storied track within the label’s extensive catalog. Together, the pairing makes for a release of unstoppable power, celebrating all that is EATBRAIN from front to back.

Shades of orange bathe the streets in the neon glow of night. Under the artificial dome of the city, light from the dense urban landscape wraps itself against the overwhelming facades of towering habitats and server blocks, intermingling at the edges of imperceptible alleyways shrouded in darkness only broken by the flickering nocturnal emblems of deep night haunts of sleaze and virtual hedonism. The twins are at home here, every edge of the city mapped in their hybrid cerebellum, connected exquisitely with inter-dimensional technology stolen from the most intimate grasp of the AI governing the sprawl. Shattering the silence of the night with the abrasive roar of refined combustion and the precisely engineered mechanisms of their vehicles, the streets fly beneath them - acting as one, every corner taken with nothing to spare, utterly in the present - surgeons of the moment. The drones giving chase have no chance, unable to compensate for the perfectly calculated errors of humanity, every recalibration coming too late - THE CHASE is relentless and swift ... the immaculate pair vanish into the dense depths of the labyrinthine underworld with their haul of sonic artifacts.

Remarkable twin Russian production entity, Gancher & Ruin, follow up last year's induction to the label on Eatbrain's Mirror Universe LP with THE CHASE EP, delivering 4 powerful neurofunk weapons including a collaboration with label boss JADE in the form of gargantuan track JUMP! Known widely in the circles of the darkest drum and bass for their heavy sound, with this release the pair demonstrate a complex understanding of neurofunk, moving deftly between verdant sci-fi beauty and dense raw energy. Solo tracks THE CHASE, ELEMENTAL and DRAGONFLY are packed with dense energy for the dance floor, bringing Gancher & Ruin firmly further into the Eatbrain fold and cementing their place in the label's powerful roster.

An arc that cuts across the present comes at the cost of the past. Against the bleak backdrop of the deadlands, its fierce frame resonated darkly within the stark heat of its viewpoint. An epoch of regeneration lay behind it, the slow burn as it reconstituted and absorbed the meager energy of these barren lands. Its state was fully formed once more, the crux of divination achieved as it prepared for its final transformation – to dive through the many faces of death and penetrate the void, pierce the fabric of life once more and re-emerge beyond the reach of this world’s inhabitants. Immortality awaits in the promise of new lives, let the cycle of desecration begin again, let life itself buckle at the knee as civilisations rise, fall and fall again.

DISPHONIA’s exceptional pair of tracks ENERGY and BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL (feat. KRYPTOMEDIC) became dancefloor staples of 2017, knocking the rave into shape with the duo’s powerful neuro sensibilities with style and longevity. Now in 2018 RED LIGHT RECORDS steps it up a notch with a pair of mighty reimagined perspectives on the powerful source material, with INWARD, HANZO & RANDIE and THE CLAMPS delivering the heavy. There’s no messing around with this brutal pair of remixes, dense sonics rule here with relentless aggression in full effect, cutting a psychotic path into a future domain.

Beneath beams of vibrant light shambled a mass of flesh and bone, revenant bodies moving steadily to the sonic reverberations that emanated from the stage before them. Their number grew as they grooved to the few sounds that reached their decaying ears, with the occasional thunderous hit of low frequency energy felling some to the floor. For all that they had seen, for all the horrors that they had undergone in their transformation into their new forms, the creatures gathered under a sense of duty, a pilgrimage, a return to once joyous ground even within the cruel fate that had been bestowed upon them.

Before it all, this had been a festive place, one of exuberant joy where the troubles of the world could be forgotten amongst the masses that gathered in shared sonic experience. There amidst that crowd, one ceased to be one and instead became many, a part of a larger whole that moved in synchronicity to the music before them. Though now held under different circumstances and driven by different sounds, this same energy yet remained as an echo in the gathering creature’s memories, driving them onwards in their journey to reclaim what they once had. As more and more of their kin gathered, this memory propagated itself amongst the once weary crowd, imbuing their bodies with an energy not seen since their days within life. Driven by this energy, the gathered horde moved once again with vigor and resolve, each amplifying the other as a part of their larger whole. Unified once more by their memories of joy, the horde’s fervor let loose into a frenzied swirl. Bodies ricocheted from one another and careened through the air, as each came once again to live without care. All who were there knew joy as they felt it, hurtling through the horde that had turned into a MOSH PIT.

REDPILL stokes the frenzy of the EATBRAIN horde with his latest MOSH PIT EP on the label, which additionally features fellow EATBRAIN alumni MAGNETUDE within its four track span. Returning to the label with his uniquely dual combination of shimmering synths and relentlessly distorted basslines, REDPILL comes ready to rock on the MOSH PIT EP with the unbridled energy of a riotous crowd.
