Aethra - Fly High

Strap in and prepare for launch — Flow B takes you beyond orbit with "Astronaut." A collision of haunting vocals, galactic soundscapes, and raw Neurofunk energy that shakes the void. No gravity. No mercy. Just pure impact. 🌌🚀

Astronaut

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.

Arise

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.
