Paperfunk Recordings presents the UNITED EP — a collaboration by Paperclip with Katharsys, The Sect, Gydra, and Masheen. Over the course of his career, Paperclip has passed through many doors of drum & bass subgenres. One remained — technoid: without locks, simply closed and waiting for the moment to be opened. This release does exactly that. The coming heavy chapter is marked not only by the compilation Technoid: Greatest Comeback, but also by the union of different schools of sound within UNITED. This is the beginning of a new route and of future unique collaborations. We invite you to feel the controlled pressure across the entire range — from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

UNITED

The revival of technoid and techno-DnB is surging back with renewed force. That ruthless, machine-driven sound we—fans of steel and synthetics—have missed for years is returning, now heavier, more armored, and powered by fresh blood.

Paperfunk Recordings continues to resurrect the subgenre, bringing both legendary names and classic tracks—long since turned into myths—back into active duty. TECHNOID: Greatest Comeback Vol. 2 features Katharsys, Proket, Logical, Masheen, Paperclip, and a new generation—straight out of the underground courses of Neuropunk Academy, pushed through a hard upgrade under the personal guidance of Pavel “Paperclip.”

Dive into this release without looking back: the taste of rusted metal on your tongue, nostalgia for the good old days of destruction, and a density that locks your jaw. Every track has been refined to perfection under the relentless oversight of PPRFNK HQ—seams between the compositions welded so tight that not even a laser beam could slip through.


TECHNOID: GREATEST COMEBACK VOL. 2

The city sank into fog so long ago that no one remembers its real name anymore. Street lamps blink like tired eyes, metal signs creak in the wind, and from empty windows it feels like something is watching. In this place you don’t run — you try not to make a sound. Because if you are noticed, something will follow. This is the doorway Gravitape opens with the new release on Paperfunk Recordings.

Avoid Me is a story about encountering what should be avoided. Not people, not beasts — shapes made of smoke and rust, monsters without clear form that gather from shadows the moment you stay too long. They don’t roar, they don’t scream. They simply appear beside you, and the space suddenly feels narrow, like a corridor with no exit.

Every drop is like a sudden emergence from the fog. The sound design slices through space with sharp synthetic blades, while the sub pressure bends the ground beneath your feet. There are no heroes and no salvation here — only a labyrinth of rusted mechanisms and entities assembled from noise, echoes, and electric sparks — cold machinery in the spirit of Paperfunk Recordings.

Avoid Me is not a scream and not a chase.
It is a quiet warning: sometimes the only way to survive is to walk past and never look back.


Avoid Me

Onlyfunks is not just a compilation series, it is a laboratory where raw parts slowly gain structure, character, and a voice of their own. Producers who once appeared in the early volumes like freshly assembled mechanisms with loosely attached limbs have grown stronger, sharper, self-aware. The time has come to leave the humid rooms with fogged glass and step into the open, revealing what they have become.

The only variable no one can truly prepare for is people — their chaos, their unpredictability, their noise. But Paperfunk has never feared randomness. In fact, Onlyfunks is built on it. Every chapter in the series is a dice roll — deliberate collisions of personalities, unexpected producer pairings, and sonic outcomes that refuse any fixed formula.

Onlyfunks Vol. 5 continues this tradition of controlled disorder. In this edition, new names emerge from beyond the label’s event horizon — artists who once existed on the fringes of the radar now step directly into the core of the mechanism. Their combinations spark like overloaded circuits, triggering reactions no blueprint could predict.

This compilation is an energetic reshuffling of talent — an experiment without safety rails and a distillation of the most acidic blend of beats and bass. There is no linear storyline and no single face here; only pressure, motion, and the sensation that the sound is assembling itself in real time from scattered yet perfectly aligned components.

Onlyfunks Vol. 5 is the moment when randomness becomes method, and chaos transforms into the unmistakable signature of Paperfunk Recordings.

Onlyfunks Vol. 5

Inside the atom, it has never been silent — we just couldn’t hear it.

While everything appears stable on the surface, deep in the core particles collide, orbits compress, and energy searches for form. That is where the first rhythms are born — sharp, precise, inevitable.

The Core EP is an attempt to capture this process from within. Malinoviy John translates subatomic energy into sound: a tight bass moves in a closed trajectory, the kick holds a steady reactor pulse, and cold synthetic layers slowly build pressure as the system reaches full power.

No random bursts — only the pure, contained force of the center.

Core by Malinoviy John — out now on Paperfunk Recordings.
Turn it up and hear the nucleus speak.

Core

Paperclip and C4 created an apocalyptic release that is steeped in mythology, anachronisms, and tough plot twists.

War Rave - is a track that will break the brain into its constituent components from the first seconds of the drop. An incredible recitative in Russian will cause a storm of emotions, which will have to be controlled under the tremendous pressure of the drums and bass lines. Taste the apocalypse today.

The groove and mood of the track are based on the classic bass stroke that is paired with mid stubs. The vocal rhythmically exactly matches the groove of the track.

Requiem is the opposite composition in terms of storytelling. In it, the story is built on the exponential growth of events. Ultimately, the track offers a choice of 3 emotions: confusion, nervous tension, and anxiety. The vocals in this performance are accelerated almost 2 times.

Even the brightest people carry a corner inside where the light doesn’t quite reach. Not monsters, not drama — just neatly folded anger, fatigue, swallowed insults and unsent messages. Frosta – Furious, out on Paperfunk Recordings, is about that inner room: the moment when you stop being “nice” for everyone else and, for one release, become honest with yourself.

These tracks sound like a controlled leak of darkness. The sub doesn’t just hit — it drags up all the tension you’ve been stacking for months. Drums are built from restrained reactions and broken brakes; synths snake along the spine and quietly remind you: the part of you that’s furious also has the right to exist. This isn’t destruction, it’s self-defence through sound.

Furious is for those who have spent years being “the good one” and are quietly suffocating in that role. It’s not an explosion, but a planned pressure release: turn it up, give your inner shadow the dancefloor it deserves, let it scream in kicks and snares instead of your throat. And when the last track fades, you don’t shut this darkness back in as an enemy — you take it with you as a part of your strength.

Paperclip has concluded the third cycle of his own convergence, delineating with this release his concept, style, perception, and practical roadmap for the further implementation of his music. The visual component is aptly commensurate with this album, as it bears a distinct, almost satirical significance regarding today's most debated topic—artificial intelligence. If you are an individual who, alongside music, possesses an interest in technology, then this album will serve—without false modesty—as genuine training material. Like a synesthete with extraordinary faculties, it provides you with unfolded audio-design patterns and the representation of fundamental scientific concepts and terminology from the domain of machine learning. Read these final lines, observe the cover once more, and then the track titles... no search queries required... simply initiate playback.

P.S. Happy New Year 2026, dear humanity and... not only...

At first, there’s silence — the kind where you can hear it ringing: a soul split into thin shards, like porcelain. All that’s left is an outline — habits, a smile, moving along familiar routes. But inside, there are fractures where warmth keeps slipping away.

And then PashaRav appears, bringing not comfort, but a tool. Alma Rota feels like a box of petals laid out in perfect order: ten tracks, ten precise touches. He takes the first and presses it to the widest crack — not to hide it, but to stop it from bleeding. The second settles beside it, a seam stitched from rhythm. The third is a thin vein of light, so direction can return from within.

The bass in Alma Rota works like warm wax: it fills the voids and holds the edges together. The drums are a pulse that won’t let it fall apart while the fabric of the soul relearns how to be whole. The melodies are a thread that draws torn parts tight, leaving scars neat and honest. Track by track, he lays these petals over the breaks — and you feel the music itself becoming a bandage, a splint, a stitch.

So, petal by petal — all ten chapters of Alma Rota — the soul stops being “broken” and becomes held together again. Not the same as before. Better: alive. By the end, the cracks are still visible, but they no longer shatter — they hold their shape like gold solder on pottery: proof that PashaRav doesn’t erase pain, he turns it into strength.

TOYFON — Mannequin (EP) is neurofunk with a predatory bite: dry, disciplined, built from dense metallic textures and razor-tight drums that don’t just groove — they stalk. The sound doesn’t decorate the space, it controls it, narrowing the distance until every hit feels like a deliberate decision.

At the core of this EP is emptiness. Mannequin is a hollow form that only needs a spark to become dangerous. Toyfon runs current through a cold frame: first, the power comes on — rhythm boots up mechanical habits and flawlessly measured motion. Then the overload hits — and inside that sterile shell you hear an impulse, a glitch, something like will. Two tracks, two scenes: the moment a mannequin stops posing and starts responding.

Dance With Me In The Dark
He stood on the border between light and shadow, not knowing what waited beyond it. Inside him was a pause, like a breath before a jump. The world seemed frozen: space stretched out, sound had not yet been born, but it was already felt beneath the skin. A state of anticipation where there is no way back, and moving forward still feels unfamiliar. The voice did not come from outside — it rose from within. Come.

The first step is the intro. Melancholic, cold, almost empty. There is no удар — only a tremor, only the sense that something greater is hidden behind the silence. You could still turn around. But you don’t.
The second step is rhythm. It doesn’t crash down — it grows into you. Space begins to pulse, sound becomes an environment.

In this story there is no enemy. There is only darkness that does not conceal, but reveals. It draws out what is usually hidden: anxiety, desire, tension, the need to move. And you realize that darkness is not the opposite of light. It is its continuation.

TMVT builds this world as a dance with the unknown. Here, aggression is not rage, but the energy of a step. Dense bass is a pulse synchronized with your own. Every drop is the moment when resistance disappears.

Dance With Me In The Dark is her debut and a point of entry into the realm of Paperfunk Recordings — cold, rigid, and nervous. It is a gesture, a hand extended in a space without landmarks. A story about how darkness is sometimes not an end, but a beginning. About how dance can become a conversation with yourself. About how a step into the unknown can be the most honest movement you will ever make.

Encode - Aught (Gydra Remix)

Paperfunk Recordings is an independent drum & bass label focused on dark, technological and emotionally dense sound. Since its foundation, the project has been building its own territory within the scene, bringing together artists for whom character, concept and refined sound design truly matter.

The aesthetic of Paperfunk is rooted in cold futurism, industrial mechanics and internal tension. The label’s releases combine aggression and depth, heavy bass textures and cinematic atmosphere. It is the sound of night cities, metal and science fiction — music with pressure, scale and a clearly defined mood.

The label’s sonic identity is formed at the intersection of techstep and neurofunk: hard-hitting drums, viscous sub-lines, highly detailed FX and microscopic attention to the mix. Paperfunk consciously moves away from mainstream formulas, developing a darker, more conceptual and intellectually driven side of drum & bass culture.

A dedicated branch of the project is PPRFNK Tech — a line of in-house audio plugins and production tools. These utilities and sound design solutions are built within the label’s ecosystem and reflect its sonic philosophy: hardness, depth and technological precision. PPRFNK Tech strengthens Paperfunk’s connection with the producer community and extends the label’s influence beyond music releases.

The visual dimension is treated with the same importance as the sound. Cover art, video works and promo materials are assembled into a unified artistic system that supports the atmosphere of each release. Paperfunk releases are typically structured as complete stories with their own dramaturgy, visual code and emotional tone.

Beyond music releases, Paperfunk continues to grow an active community of producers, DJs and visual artists. Collaborations, compilations, guest mixes and media projects naturally extend the movement. The label operates as a platform for experimentation, artist development and the intersection of multiple creative disciplines.

The main vector of Paperfunk Recordings is the development of a strong underground sound and the expansion of the drum & bass scene’s boundaries while maintaining independence and a distinctive signature. The project continues to evolve as a cohesive ecosystem where sound, visual art and technology operate within one unified logic and amplify each other.
