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.

In the mid-1990s, during electronic music’s era of explosive growth, a young dreamer first touched its pulsating universe. The sounds of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and other genre pioneers became his window into a world where synths spoke the language of the future and basslines pierced straight to the heart. But the true revolution in his soul came when he heard the first beats of jungle and techstep — genres where chaotic rhythms fused with mathematical precision, and dark, almost cinematic soundscapes beckoned into the unknown.

By the early 2000s, his mind was swept up by the wave of neurofunk — a genre where visionaries like Ed Rush, Optical, Konflict, Noisia, Spor, and Phace rewrote the rules of drum and bass. This was music balancing on the edge of futurism and apocalypse, where every sound became part of an intricate mechanism. Seminal imprints like Lifted, Vision, Metalheadz, and Virus — labels that helped define the sound of cutting-edge drum and bass — became his creative compass. Equally important was his connection to Russia’s TAMRECORDS, which emerged as a vital hub for electronic experimentation, linking him to both local innovators and the global drum and bass community.

He took his first step into the music world in 2004, releasing a track under the enigmatic alias c13360 on the German online label FOEM. It was a humble beginning, but it was then that the spark of creativity ignited in his hands. Years later, in 2010, under the name Drillcut, he dropped the single «Assembly» on T-FREE, followed by «Heavens Gate» in 2011 — a track that became the swan song of the legendary label.

The following years were marked by experimentation and collaborations. In 2013, his joint work «Starfall» appeared on the vinyl album N3M4, and a year later, Audio Plants released the tracks «Snow Walk» and «Funk, Drum, Sex» — compositions where techno coldness met jazz-like warmth.

After a decade of silence, by the end of 2024, he returned like a phoenix rising from digital ashes. The neurofunk EP «Machine Chronicles / Rehydration» reminded listeners of his love for intricate soundscapes, while «Wonderful Life of Far Deep Sea» plunged them into the abyss of deep drum and bass. The track «Kepler» on the EMPHSL 005 compilation became a cosmic bridge between past and future.

2025 began with a bold remix of «Karate» by Trempid & Kvostax, released on Pandorum Records — its brutal bass and whirlwind rhythms proving his mastery had only sharpened. The March release «TiDVL» on Paperfunk Recordings’ compilation continue this chapter, as if placing an ellipsis in a story that will linger in the headphones of those who believe in the magic of electronic pulses.

His journey is not merely a series of releases but a voyage through eras and genres, where every note becomes part of eternity. And as vinyl spins somewhere in the world and processors generate new melodies, his music lives on — a echo of the future, written in the language of the past.

Music is really cool. That's why I use SoundCloud.

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.
