PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a new wave of experiments from Paperfunk Recordings

The third-generation capsules are opening. Inside lies a fusion of ideas conceived within the walls of the Neuropunk Academy and tempered in the laboratories of rhythm. Under the bass microscope and within the sequencer grids, fresh forms of sound are being born — prototypes ready to break free from their blueprints and speak the language of the dancefloor.

Curated by Paperclip, Menfort (Gydra) and NERV3 — three seasoned architects of sound who have combined their experience and taste to guide the participants through every stage of track creation, from the very first ideas to fully armed club weapons.

Inside PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 you’ll find:

Bass constructions with mutation effects — lines that change shape in real time, like a living organism under a microscope.

Rhythmic fractures — grooves that shatter predictability and make your body react on instinct.

Technoid filigree — every detail of each track sharpened down to the millisecond, yet still breathing with the creator’s energy.

This compilation is a proving ground where a new generation of drum & bass producers put their sonic machines to the test under full dancefloor combat conditions. Different approaches, unique voices, one shared drive for a breakthrough.

PROTOTYPES Vol. 3 — a test drive of the future, and you’ve got the ticket right now.

Cat No: EVOC076
Artist: @Ekwols x @HRSPX
Title: The Vigil Abyss
Release Date: 21st November 2025
Record Label: Evolution Chamber

In the ever-evolving landscape of Drum & Bass, few names have created as much intrigue and momentum as Ekwols and HRSPX. Both artists have been carving distinct yet complementary paths. Ekwols, the self-styled Neurogoth from Scotland, known for his emotionally charged, cinematic approach to sound design and storytelling; and HRSPX, the Hungarian powerhouse whose technical precision and melodic sensibility have established him as one of the genre’s most exciting new-generation producers.

Having joined Evolution Chamber in 2023 and 2024 respectively, it was only a matter of time before these two musical minds crossed paths creatively. The result is ‘The Vigil Abyss’; a collaboration that no one expected but one that exceeds all expectations, marking a defining moment in both of their artistic journeys.

From the very first note, The Vigil Abyss sets a tone of deep introspection, draped in haunting, melancholic textures that immediately draw you in. Ekwols’ ethereal vocals float above a delicate guitar riff, while HRSPX’s layered melodies simmer beneath the surface, slowly building tension. The track rises into a dramatic, chorus-like bridge before erupting into an explosion of energy. Precision-cut drums, driving basslines, and perfectly weighted movement create an undeniable sense of urgency and power, all while maintaining the emotional core that defines both artists’ sound.

As the journey unfolds, each 16-bar section adds new depth and dimension. The second drop raises the intensity even further by switching into a broken-beat rhythm, with Ekwols’ seismic call section basslines meeting HRSPX’s razor-sharp response sections with devastating effect. Atmospheric flourishes weave through the chaos, grounding the track in emotion and melody. It’s a production that commands attention on the dancefloor and rewards close listening: layered, meaningful, and fiercely impactful.

This isn’t just a collaboration; it’s a genuine meeting of minds. Both Ekwols and HRSPX bring out the best in each other, blending emotion and precision in equal measure, proving what happens when two artists approach music not as competition but as conversation.

In many ways, ‘The Vigil Abyss’ embodies everything Evolution Chamber stands for: a home where talent, creativity, and connection take precedence over numbers or reputation. It’s a family built on trust, artistry, and shared vision, where collaboration becomes a catalyst for growth. With this release, Ekwols and HRSPX don’t just deliver a standout collaboration; they reinforce the label’s vision of unity as a form of evolution itself.

Loss of form. Loss of time. Loss of self.
Oblivion isn’t a place—it’s a state. A point where everything you once knew crumbles into dust. Sound doesn’t exist here as music, but as the echo of something long gone. Each tone feels like a fragment of a dream you can’t recall, but somehow, it changed you. There’s no beginning, no end—only the fall, into a void that slowly wraps around you, stripping away your name, your thoughts, your direction. And just when you think it’s over… it starts again.
