The attempts at using Profuze power as a line of defence for Earth 304 had been a huge success. 

The planet was thriving and its human inhabitants were again at peace and learning from the past for its new beginnings.

The worries of artificial intelligence were far from over however, as Augmented beings recycled from the war were not re-programmed in helping the planet and its inhabitants to build this world. But for how long?

Are we just repeating past mistakes? Will these new Augmented beings learn and educate themselves until they are fully self aware and want to destroy living beings again?

The Genetics of these beings were not as faded away as we so
thought. One being in particular who was compromised during the Cells Interlinked program named `The Fi5th` had gone rogue.

His mission was unknown and his intentions also a mystery, due to the instant he was given the Jump Funk program he had broken away from the lab and gone into the world himself as a new Augmented being, 

The latest technology and the ability to increase not only his brain capacity but his strength.

We can only hope his return to us will be in peace. And not in a new war.

1/ “Augmented”

An epic building intro of sci-fi noises echoes throughout the intro of this one, A vertical take-off of sorts takes us to the drop Of The Fi5ths Intense Neuro palette.

A very dark and sinister workload of sounds on this one, With a
much welcomed industrial feel.

Our drop takes us through driving gated synths and of course
those eerie echoing sci-fi sounds that feel as though you’re heading across a distant planet's moon terrain at a speed of 10,000 knots per second.

A signature Track for The Fi5th we feel in his illustrious career of
bringing the Chug into the Neuro-landscape.

2/ “Faded”

The first track of this EP that was signed way back when pieces were being gelled together and idea’s thrown around, This track was the catalyst for it all.

We are treated to a very quick build on this one as we encompass a truly magnificent blend of side chained Neuro mayhem and brutal bass power.

The Fi5th really opens up his deep and ever endless selection of sounds and ideas for an energetic and fierce flurry of Neuro-gobsmackery.

3/ “Genetic”

As if you thought that was it when it comes to bringing a forceful
Neuro banger to the Dancefloor. The Fi5th Unleashes another style and more thought provoking, Fist bumping sounds to the
equation.

The Fi5th is known worldwide now for being the king of Chuggy
Neuro and this is no exception as it rides along a super trippy rise
that seems as though it will never end. Until that breakdown of
course.

We are treated to some amazing riff work once the drop comes, And of course more signature beef from the Norwich Neuro lad himself.

4/ “Jump Funk”

A flashback to The Fi5ths initial outing with us on Chapter I we thought a new airing of one of our all time favourites was needed with the return of Jump Funk.

A track that got The Fi5th noticed from us at VTO and still one that see’s dancefloors destroyed on a regular basis.

Don't swing your head back too much brocking to this one, People have been known to lose it clean off their shoulders and there's no putting that shit back on.

Augmented EP is out on July 19th Exclusively on Beatport & Spotify then everywhere 2 weeks later.

One thing that has truly pleased us as a label is not only welcoming new talented artists to the label but also working alongside who we consider our peers, some of the artists we grew up listening to in the honeymoon years for us of DNB and our all time favourites too.

Add to this a sprinkling of foreign exchange and being able to  work with talented artists / peers from across the globe and you have a very happy record label indeed.

If you have been living under a rock for the past 10+ years or so then you may not have come across the Puerto Rican born producer situated in the U.S of A.

We are very proud to announce our collaboration as a label and artist with none other than Diode. 

A vast catalogue of work has drenched the DNB world for quite some time now and it was only fitting we brought the artist to the attention of our labels followers as his direction pretty much lines up with ours and our ethos which is truly to cover the entire spectrum of Drum and bass.

We are very proud of this one and excited to collaborate for the future. as we introduce the Interruption EP.

1/ “Don't Interrupt Me”

A true favourite of ours this year and a track that has seen
some heavy exposure through some of the larger artists in DNB.

Starting off in Diodes signature Funk sounds and chords, we are quickly led into a remarkable build of audio sonics that place you on the edge of your seat.

Key changes and whirling rises lend themselves to the robotic voices which take a switch as we drop a Jungle Techno snippet before a nan slapping Neurofunk drop.

This one is relentless as we switch basslines and keys throughout until a crescendo of bass and beats.

2/ “Racing”

Foot on the peddle. Let's go. Vin Diesel would be proud of this one. as we welcome “Racing” into the Dirtbox family.

A slapper of A neurofunk drop with some awesome melodic swishes.

This one is a Virus-esque Chugger of grade A prime classic sounds accompanied by gated synths and up to date bass synthesis. 

An awesome one for the middle of the set at prime time.

3/ “In Silence” 

We close out the EP on a high note. A true one, Piano’s, sweeps and vocals propulse us into an epic percussive lead breakdown, Anthemic and beautiful this one ticks all the boxes.

A true, and beautiful way to end the EP with Diode flexing his production muscle and showing his range, Big time Interruption EP is out July 29th exclusively on Beatport & Spotify then everywhere else 2 weeks after

Upcoming track from my side project https://www.soundcloud.com/productzero

Product Zero - Shark Tank V0.1

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.
