DNB Archives: Volume 1
Independent Drum & Bass, Unfiltered.

Top G Records proudly presents DNB Archives: Volume 1 — a cross-border compilation featuring some of the rawest, realest independent DnB talent from the USA, UK, and Canada.

This is our answer to the mainstream noise.

Born from a love of underground culture and a frustration with the oversaturation of major label playlists, this project brings together a diverse line-up of producers and labels who are building the future of drum and bass outside the algorithm.

We wanted to create something like Now That’s What I Call Music — but for independent DnB only. No filler. No compromises. Just the very best of what the underground has to offer:
🔥 Rollers
🌊 Liquid
🌪️ Tearout
🌌 Deep tech
🌿 Jungle-infused vibes

Each track was handpicked to represent a different flavour of the scene, united by one mission:

To give a proper platform to the artists pushing boundaries from the shadows.

🎧 Why You Won’t Find This on Streaming:
This is a download-only release — exclusive to those who truly support the culture. No Spotify. No middlemen. Just direct-to-fan, just like it used to be.

Whether you're a DJ, a collector, or a day-one DnB head, this is for you.

Volume 1 is just the beginning.
Archive it. Share it. Play it loud.
Independent DnB deserves its spotlight.

My Music Elements combine Dark House, Indietronica, Melodic, Progressive with a pinch of
Power House, Synth-pop & Tech House = a perfect potion remixed in a dance Vial of SeXy SteamPunk House

Beginning as a young boy, PaulSebastian had taken an early interest in how sounds are created and beats that get the crowd going. Bastian began participating and researching music at clubs, raves, and warehouse parties since 1991. Not only part of the Denver scene, he has been in and out of LA since he was a teenager, San Fran scene as he lived in the Bay area, Nevada, residing in San Diego for a decade, Palm Springs, and now living his dream in the Pink City of Toulouse, France 🇫🇷 🤙 🕺 🎧 💗

Past events/parties spinning for many local Cali Clubs; including the DILF events by the late Joe Whitaker, where he has opened for DJ Jon Lepage, also spinning in his own featured solo events. 

Other events include San Diego Pride Euphoria Stage, MOS, Heat, & Beach Haus in OC, as well as various private pool parties in Palm Springs. 

He has also spun for other Central and Eastern European venues and underground maze clubs w Dark House. 

As of 2023, Asia is now under his proud list of musical Magick potions placed upon human minds on the planet.

Influenced and impressed by DJs such as: MORABITO, and Simon Harrison - while having encouragement from Doug Perry of The Perry Twins.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
🌌 But ultimately, it defines its own world—one built from dark techno, darkwave, nu-jazz, and trap-rock fusion.
