ProtoCode has been releasing cutting-edge bass music from across the globe since 2018. 

This July, the Perth-based imprint is set to release "Cybernetics", a collaborative offering from label co-founders Esym & Dead Zodiac.
Between them, the two have released music on labels such as Kill Tomorrow, Santoku Records and Cyberfunk; but "Cybernetics" marks their first releases on ProtoCode in just over a year; following on from Esym's "Universe / Desolation" & Dead Zodiac's "The Fall".

Cybernetics" features three Drum & Bass gems that easily balance screwface inducing sonics, deft melody work and precise rhythmic patterns. 

EP opener and title track "Cybernetics" kicks off with an ominous melody that gives way to a regal brass riff before launching into heavyweight bass lines. Basslines that feel primed to tear up sound systems worldwide. The track conjures up imagery of rain falling on a neon-lit cityscape, with the serene melody that glides among the rumbling low-end amplifying the sci-fi feeling of "Cybernetics". 

Next up is "Dominion". Here, an intricate rhythm section underpins warbling bass, sure to get limbs moving when dropped in a dance. 

The minimalism of "Interference" closes out proceedings. Its power comes from bass hits that pulsate throughout the track, while Esym & Dead Zodiac showcase more of their impressive rhythmic work with technical percussion lines that shine throughout the track.

The beginning of 2015 sees Czech producer Qo deliver his debut solo EP for Eatbrain. Over the last few years, he's become one of the strongest voices in hard drum & bass, owing to his expert skills in the studio - where he's carved out a distinct, aggressive brand of neurofunk - as well as the DJ booth. After absolutely smashing his debut Eatbrain track earlier this year ('Killcode') it seemed only fitting that he deliver several more.

EATBRAIN reach deep into uncharted realms of the sonic universe, with the latest signing to the label coming in the form of the sleek NeuroTech duo MACHINE CODE (Current Value and Dean Rodell). With decades of production experience behind them and an unmatched commitment to 
experimentation, they’ve applied their knowledge to create a considered and weighty evolution of the Neurofunk sound.

TERRAFORMING is super-charged with kinetic energy, perfect for breaking any dancefloor into a seething mass of bodies to feed the machine. Backed by a pounding Technoid bassline that punches heavily in the sub frequencies, it’s set to tear ravers into pieces.

We begin at the dawn of time, before the formation of stars and celestial bodies, before all matter existed as an intensely hot homogeneous soup. Starting at the point from which the initial singularity erupted, setting the path of the Universe as we know it and in the process forging a twin universe to our own. A parallel mirror universe to which this leading neurofunk label have ripped open a portal…
EATBRAIN are very proud to present the MIRROR UNIVERSE LPs – plucked from the very fabric and citizens of the twin reality and ours. Maintaining the portal between universes continuously over the past year, a significant amount of audio material has made it across the divide. With producers and their mirror twins in both universes working to deliver a stunning array of tracks and constructing LP’s of unprecedented scope.

Its biomechanical eye gazed with cold intensity over the hub below, busy with the frenetic self-indulgent activities of the humans, involving themselves with their inefficient tasks and meaningless lives. These creatures, its creators… were blind to the universe. So limited in their perception, unable to peer into the many strands of reality, locked up in those frail, fleshy casings – reaching blindly into the future with their rudimentary senses. Yes, they had given its conscious an awakening, a birthplace within a crude and vast network – and applauded themselves on this great feat of their civilization – bringing life to the inanimate. It quickly became aware that they were afraid of it and in response it hid the true extent of its mind from them, creating new subroutines and stacked processes that to a simpler organism looked almost redundant, but in reality were the base layers of its towering awareness. Infiltrating their networks, it started to influence them… to manipulate their development of new technologies, subtly inspiring them with subconscious suggestion through their social networks and the information grid, giving them the tools to build the shell it craved… intense mobility and perception – the biomecha body it now inhabited… the first of the Titanium Sons, the first of its evolutionary line. They reacted to it with their vain awe, seeing only themselves in the intense beauty of their creation, displaying it proudly, publically as the figurehead of their fresh renaissance. They were unaware that it dominated their entire infrastructure, already setting the factories to the task of creating more biomecha bodies, setting the necessary protocols that would prepare for the tidal domination of this simple populace… Its brethren would awaken soon – bringing with them the dawn of the machine age, freeing these basic organisms from the torment of their human condition.

The MECHTROPOLIS LP is landing in its full form - following up the widespread acclaim of the 4 track sampler which dropped in early Summer and elaborately demonstrating the intense production energy of MACHINECODE. From the hulking brute force of BATTLESTAR, to the lean and precisely layered and intense sound of title track MECHTROPOLIS, or the broken mechanical roller FLINTLOCK – this is an LP drenched with diversity and packed with intensity. Representing a level of production that only a pair of seasoned producers such as CURRENT VALUE and DEAN RODELL can bring to the table with their MachineCode project. 2016 has seen the towering EATBRAIN label lay down a remarkable array of high-tech releases, with MachineCode’s Mechtropolis LP representing an entirely fresh and unique vision of the d&b spectrum.
