Karpa & Raido going hard lately man, sick tune!

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.

Reflected across overlapping dimensions born of divergent causal chains, the single thread of an age-old story spun its wondrous tale time and time again, each new weaving of its tapestry of tales garbed in novel forms but resounding with a similar refrain. In a land dominated by the sea, two haggard sailors set sail in search of the knowledge that lay beyond the horizon. In a land of heroes and legends, two knights quested for that which would rid their kingdom of a sorcerer’s malevolent curse. In the lands of a far distant future, a novel pharmaceutical allowed its patients to delve into the knowledge of their ancestors, watching the events of their lives as a silent observer to the collective memory that all held within. In the primal lands that lay under the cold embrace of a black sun, three wolves set out for new hunting grounds across the frigid north.

In each & every dimension, these linked souls each sought the treasure of knowledge lost, held in stasis by its isolation and eagerly awaiting its rediscovery. The mystical draw of such knowledge was constant, its tendrils of influence stretching beyond planar boundaries as it spurred those who heard its call to new feats of heroism. Thus it was in each of these dimensions, and thus it was in a final land, one in which two cowboys rode into the depths of the wilderness and in which saloons would soon sing the ballad of Scrugss & Sonny Jim.

EATBRAIN & BURR OAK unveil the Somewhere It's Reborn remixes, a mammoth companion work of collaborative effort to the original album that sees twelve of its tracks remixed and reimagined by a hand-selected list of like-minded sonic explorers to the twin minds behind BURR OAK.

Receptor takes his final bow after 15 years of innovation in Drum & Bass, and Evolution Chamber is marking the moment with 'Receptoration', a remix project celebrating his legacy.

The first release drops two heavyweights straight out the gate. Gydra fires off a ferocious take on 'Punks', merging neuro precision with jump-up energy. Then Neonlight step in to rework 'Parkour' with soaring melody, slick groove, and that unmistakable German flair.

A powerful start to a project that honours one of Drum & Bass’s most fearless producers. Receptor might be stepping away, but his sound will echo for years to come.

Out 7th November on Evolution Chamber.
