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.

The Scientist known as `Esym`, tracked the fallout across dead frequencies.

The battle in the Rockies registered as static bursts on his consoles, tremors reaching even the
Pacific floor. CrucifyMe had stood again, he always did, and the erasers had burned sky and stone around him. The world thought him indestructible. Esym knew better.

The scientist sat deep inside the drifting carcass of Australia, once a continent, now a vessel. Its turbines pushed through black seas, powered by the fractured ghost of the NERV3 processor buried in its core. Every surge was slower than the last.

He felt it in his own chest, an arrhythmia of machine and flesh. Esym was wired into its heartbeat. Without him, the island would drift until it sank. Without it, he would stop entirely.

He remembered when it was alive: cities lit in fractal grids, markets humming with neon and rain, voices layered across data-channels like music.

Now, whole districts stood empty, only the reactor’s glow keeping the island from going dark. 

And Esym, tethered here, was the last scientist among the bones of a nation. 

CrucifyMe’s signal reappeared on his screens, faint, staggered, but undeniable.

Esym leaned closer, cracked lips curling faintly. “Still walking. Good.” 

His voice rasped, digitized by the modulators stitched into his throat. “The Colony never understood what they built into you. They thought execution would be enough. They didn’t see the architecture.”

He rerouted power, aligning the island’s trajectory toward the Rockies. The turbines groaned,  churning saltwater into black foam. The NERV3 fragment screamed inside its glass coffin, data bleeding into the sea.

Esym didn’t care. The only structure left strong enough to carry the last pieces of a dying machine was the unit within. 

“Every crucifixion failed,” Esym whispered into the hum of servers. “But this one, this one will hold.”

The continent-island drifted forward, neon arteries lighting up for the first time in decades, dragging its rusted shadow across the ocean toward a man the world could not kill.

Perth-based producer Esym makes his explosive debut on VTO Records with the Far Beyond EP
A hard-hitting three-track showcase of pure Neurofunk power. Featuring the relentless energy of
“Blast Burn,” the hypnotic drive of “Control Your Mind,” and the epic title track “Far Beyond,” the
release highlights Esym’s trademark fusion of cinematic sound design, fearless basslines, and
genre-bending influences drawn from Trance and Metal.

Already turning heads with a recent signing to Blackout Music, Esym continues to push the
boundaries of Drum & Bass while flying the flag for Australian Neurofunk on the global stage.
Far Beyond EP is available exclusively on Beatport & Spotify, Friday 31st October and everywhere else November 14th.
