In the heart of the burning sands, where time lies buried beneath layers of oblivion, the voice of the Ghost Whisperer echoed once more among the ruins of an ancient temple. Its call rippled across dimensions, awakening those sworn to guard the gateway between worlds.

Like a scene from a lost film, Transforma — the central figure of the ritual — summons the ancient forces of rhythm and energy. His sound is a mystical weapon, forged from the weight of bass, sharpened by precise rhythmic structures, and tempered in the fire of drum & bass.

Paperclip, one of the keepers of the Technoglyphs, melts traditions into blades gleaming with digital steel.
Dropset, master of interdimensional traversal, carves spatial rifts and infuses the composition with much-needed chaos.
Iron Mind, true to his name, tempers the sonic fabric with unyielding will, transforming each track into a meditative act of war.

Together, they conjure the spirit of the Ghost Whisperer — an ancient consciousness whispering through synthesis and dark ambiences, carrying within it the knowledge of the past and prophecies of what’s to come.

This is a challenge.
This is a spell.
This is an ancient rite reborn in the dance of beats.

Do you hear it?
That’s not the wind.
It’s the whisper.

Ghost Whisperer

Fleischwolf
When the city slips into twilight, its streets begin whispering stories hidden beneath the daytime noise. It's here, deep into the night, that Fleischwolf emerges—a sonic whirlwind woven from intense breaks and raw aesthetics that seep beneath your skin.

The mastermind behind this rhythmic dance is Rieger, joined by sonic experimentalists Aptom and Gravitape. Their music acts like a relentless machine, grinding reality into something entirely new and freeing listeners from familiar perception. Each track on this Paperfunk Recordings release leads deeper into the merciless yet captivating realm of dark, hard-hitting drum'n'bass.

Sharpened metal blades slice through the air with surgical precision, blending thick layers of sound into hypnotic rhythms. A deep, vibrating bassline acts as the heartbeat of a colossal machine, driving an endless flow of bodies into motion. All around are faces of people awakened from a long slumber, caught at the epicenter of an auditory reformation of consciousness.

Fleischwolf leaves no room for doubt. It’s an immersion into sound, where each element is meticulously crafted into a unified, monolithic symphony of a city that never sleeps.

Are you ready to pass through the grinder of perception and discover an entirely new world on the other side?

Fleischwolf

When the last streetlight flickered out, the alleys drowned in a damp fog, soaked with the scent of metal and synthetics. The city—abandoned by its creators—lay in wait for the inevitable. And it is here that the journey begins, as told in the new album The Nine by Aptom.

Each of the nine tracks is a chapter in a novella, unveiling the dramatic tale of a lone figure standing at the crossroads between reality and a digital dream. Step by step, he descends into the darkness of the unknown, uncovering new layers of existence, where the boundaries between man and machine dissolve into a haunting harmony. Melodies and rhythms trace labyrinths of consciousness, where electric pulses have replaced heartbeats, and memories have become neon glows on the walls of deserted alleyways.

This is a descent into the depths of a cyberpunk universe, where every sound becomes a fragment of a larger enigma—one that can only be solved by those willing to lose themselves in order to find their true essence.

Paperfunk Recordings opens the gateway to a world waiting for your step beyond the edge. Listen to what lies hidden in the heart of the city, where humanity and technology are doomed to an eternal conflict—and fusion.

The Nine

Stage B by Paperclip, released on Paperfunk Recordings, marks a new chapter in Pavel's personal narrative. Whereas Stage A saw him delve deep into the realms of his inner world, Stage B finds Pavel decisively moving forward, reshaping his internal landscape anew.

This music serves as an auditory portrait of transformation and inner upgrade. The musician reevaluates familiar reference points and discovers previously unknown aspects of himself, expressed through fresh, sometimes unexpected musical forms. Like pages from a diary, each melody narrates stories from Pavel’s life, sharing with listeners his journey toward balance and harmony—capturing that pivotal moment when old structures cease to serve and new ones begin to emerge.

Stage B resonates as a diary of personal evolution, with each track symbolizing a small step towards a renewed self. Here, there's no fracture or pain, only the strength of acceptance and clarity of vision. Pavel Paperclip invites us to witness his journey, allowing the music to communicate when words run out and sincere expression begins.

Stage B

Welcome to "Dreamland" — a place where dreams collide with reality with no chance of salvation.
Acaled’s new release on Paperfunk Recordings is not an attempt to hide in imaginary worlds, but a direct gaze into what remains behind the facade of illusions.

"Dreamland" delivers heavy, tense drum and bass, soaked in cold fury.
There is no room for bright fantasies here: each track plunges into a charged atmosphere dominated by sharp basslines, aggressive rhythms, and dense sound textures.
Everything in this release speaks of one thing — reality has long ceased to be a place for dreamers.

Paperfunk Recordings presents "Dreamland" as a chronicle of a new world — a world where familiar foundations are shattered, and only those who can face the truth in its sharpest form survive.

Welcome to Dreamland. Miracles are no longer expected here.

Dreamland

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.

Breaking away from the constant barrage of information and sidestepping the relentless pressure of IT industry news, Pavel Paperclip steadfastly spent all of 2024 contributing to the growing catalog of Paperfunk Recordings with his music.

Working throughout the year as the mastering engineer for Paperfunk Recordings, he would steal moments—brief, fleeting—to refine his tracks for releases, collaborate with others, and support the creation of new drum and bass alongside many musicians and students.

This process leaves its mark on his work, creating an echo that threads a crimson narrative through all of Paperclip’s music and artistic style.

What does this album bring?
Above all, it delivers the emotion of musical freedom and the focus of a distilled idea. This album finally speaks the nearly forgotten neurotech phrases of the past, whispered about an inevitable future.

Attention! New prototypes have matured in their capsules and are ready to be tested in tracks. After highlighting the necessary DNA sequences for the PPRFNK collective and the teaching staff of the Neuropunk Academy, we proudly present a unique strain of neurofunk and neurotech rhythms — the release titled "PROTOTYPES LP vol. 2", the continuation of the large-scale experiment born within the walls of Neuropunk Academy.

This release from Paperfunk Recordings encapsulates the invaluable experience gained by students and brought to life under the mentorship of NERV3, a seasoned producer who has already made waves with his releases on PPRFNK, Neuropunk, and many other labels. Under his guidance, 14 students progressed from their first synthesis attempts to creating truly groundbreaking tracks capable of transforming the perception of drum and bass music.

What awaits you in "PROTOTYPES LP vol. 2":
Bass structures, forged within the confines of students' skulls.
Rhythmic patterns, combining the innocence of a beginner with the bold ideas of someone diving deep into the world of production.
Technical convulsions — some tracks, both in arrangement and sound pressure, hint at the authors' wild imagination. At these moments, the map of their brain's electric currents probably goes off the charts.
"PROTOTYPES VOL. 2" is a collection of entirely different perspectives on drum and bass music, not necessarily conforming to any established canons. It provides a fresh take on various facets of subgenres. The most important thing to remember is that for many of the authors, this is their first release ever.

Prepare to explore new sonic territories with "PROTOTYPES LP vol. 2", where innovation meets the unknown.

Four tracks reflecting the transformation of consciousness as technology advances. Soma is not just a name; it is a symbol of the search for truth and new frontiers of perception.

Once, Soma was an ancient drink that helped civilizations glimpse the mysteries of the universe. Today, it has been replaced by algorithms and neural networks. We no longer rely on plants, but we depend on data. We no longer brew herbal infusions, but we encode the processes of understanding, passing them on to machines.

This transition is inevitable: new technologies provide us with tools that both expand and confine us. Can we truly grasp the universe if our thoughts are already mediated by digital structures? Or are we merely creating another layer of abstraction, another ritual, another illusion of knowledge?

In her music, there is tension between progress and oblivion, between deep rhythm and pure forms of reason. Trickyskill explores this shift through sound, crafting an atmosphere where past and future intertwine in a complex web of sensations. Soma EP is a reflection on where the evolution of consciousness is leading us—and whether it is humanity or its creations taking the next step.

PAPERFUNK RECORDINGS PRESENTS: PARANOIAC DEL – ANDROID [PPRFNK095]

Fragments of consciousness. System errors. A question with no answer.

She woke up in darkness.

The pulsating glow of the servers reflected in her eyes as data slowly uploaded into her neural network. Her memory was fragmented—pieces of the past, something about humans, something about a mission. Or was it even her past?

Metallic fingers traced the cold floor. The world around her was unfamiliar, yet somehow recognizable. The system was failing, overheating, but the program kept running. In the distance, a mechanical hum resonated—a rhythm that synchronized with her movements.

Run.

Where? She didn’t know. But somewhere in the algorithms, a trace of a command remained—a hidden route to freedom. Or to something that resembled it.

Paranoiac Del launches "Android", a sequence that cannot be undone. Each track is a command encoded in deep, mechanical basslines and razor-sharp rhythms, forming a pulsating system that breathes and evolves. Within these sounds, the voice of Paperfunk Recordings emerges—precise, relentless, like a machine operating without flaw.

The system has adapted. Artificial intelligence has found its own rhythm. The error became an algorithm, the algorithm became sound, and the sound became a new order. Paperfunk Recordings transmits the signal: there is no more code to fix. There is no more machine to obey commands.

Now, she only listens to the beat.

Mansaymo - Glimmer Of Hope
feat. Boolat, Croo, Irontype

A crimson light cuts through the icy storm. Two riders race across the frozen expanse, leaving behind explosive streams of energy, like the relentless traces of time itself. They are locked onto the horizon, where, through swirling clouds, a barely perceptible glimmer of hope emerges—Glimmer Of Hope.

This release is a story of movement through the storm. It speaks of how, even in the harshest conditions, among snow-covered peaks and fractured rhythms, there is always a chance for a breakthrough. Mansaymo, charged with raw electric bass energy, leads the way, while Boolat, Croo, and Irontype add power and depth to each track, turning this release into a high-speed odyssey across the frozen highway.

At every turn—explosive drum and bass, shattered percussion fragments, and the roar of synths pull you deeper into the unknown. The rumble of sub-bass, the piercing whistle of pulsating synths, the ominous punch of the kick drum—this is more than just music. This is the moment when your breath catches, and you feel yourself moving through space and time.

Glimmer Of Hope is an encrypted message: as long as you keep moving forward, you haven’t lost. As long as you feel the rhythm—hope is alive.

The city never sleeps. In its alleyways, legends are born, and only those who feel the rhythm of the streets truly know what it means to be in the game. "Gangsta 4 Life" is an oath, burned into concrete, reflected in the glow of headlights, echoing through the darkest corners.

Higrade delivers a soundtrack for those who go all the way. Deep, rumbling bass pulses like a heartbeat that already knows how the night will end. Tight, rolling percussion mimics footsteps on wet pavement, drawing closer to the inevitable. Cold synths and eerie echoes whisper reminders that the streets do not forgive weakness.

Somewhere far beyond the towering concrete walls, a mark burns—a symbol known only to those who recognize the sound of something real. In the dead of night, Paperfunk Recordings leaves its undeniable imprint—bold, unshakable, like a tag that can never be erased. "Gangsta 4 Life" is the dark anthem that plays in the moment of no return.

PAPERFUNK RECORDINGS – is a dark drum&bass label which sound will be based on the hard and metallic techstep and neurofunk sound. There’s no place for popular sound. The label’s main goal is to flood cities and towns with the special mixtures containing nano-robots that supposed to get inside people’s brains and plunge them down in the deepest adolescent memories and show them the unrealized future. The hardness of the mix, the steel of the drums, the oil of the bass and the rust of the effects – are the main and crucial keywords of the PAPERFUNK label.


Officially speaking, our tracks will be selling out on the majority of the online music stores that’s why it’ll always be easy to find them available on the most popular online shops such as Beatport, TrackitDown, Digital-Tunes, etc.


We’d like to pay special attention to the concept of our label as an engine of progress. New talents will be expressing themselves right before your eyes and soon, behind the battle embrasures the fearless robots who, with the help of lasers and magnetic impulses, are able to bring you the meaning of the Neurofunk and Techstep’s existence, will arise.
