PROTO NEXUS explore industrial dancehall and jungle through the vision of MOOKI6 (@mooquidi-alcaline) and B4MBA (@b4mba), this EP born in a travel through Kenya, established a deep connexion with riddimz

- POCKET CALL - is a darkness riddim focus on hard grooves, sharping snare, and heavy bass, a wild wine into a warm sound system, junglist breaks that enhance your night and connect your body and mind to ground them and make them levitate at the same time 
- JABA - While travelling across Kenya waiting for a compact aircraft to take us to the coastline, the bustling urban sounds of Nairobi and the intriguing outcomes of processing the plant used in their beloved drink, known as "Jaba," served as our creative wellsprings.
during this time we created this fusion dancehall anthem named JABA
This sound piece exudes warmth and boasts a meticulously honed sound arrangement that masterfully encapsulates the very ambiance that enveloped us at that time

- ANKHNOWLEDGE - is a frenetic archeological research in a Sub Saharan desert, finding artefact within sabar and breaks, sandstorm is announced  by strings and vocals, slow too fast, it puts you in a transe as snake charmer in a spaceship

CLINICAL SKILLS

Plastre_TRAIL

This two-track EP creatively reimagines the same core hook across two distinct genres. The first track is a hard-hitting, trap-infused anthem, layering thumping 808s with sharp hi-hats and aggressive rhythms, delivering a raw, bass-heavy vibe. The second track flips the script, taking a more experimental approach with intricate breaks, glitchy textures, and warped basslines, pushing the boundaries of sound design. Both versions showcase the versatility of the hook, bridging the worlds of hip hop and experimental bass music in an engaging, innovative way.

It Kinda Cool (Cracked Version)

One of MONTAGE’s most cherished artists, épong, returns with a new album. Eating The Ceiling delivers 50 minutes of generously bombastic chaos: breaks colliding with melodies, deconstructed beats weaving through grandiose synthlines. Addiction, grief, anger, and frustration are channeled into relentless drums — a workout for lost souls and a salute to Brussels’ underground.

épong - TARAKANA

The second track on our most recent release is by none other than the Egyptian producer MARTINA. Called  'Silence the Noise - خرّس الدوشة', the track explores themes of censorship and muted self-expression through playful yet rigid sonic contrasts.

MARTINA is a DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Cairo. Trained in guitar, drums, and trumpet, she turned to electronic music and DJing as a way to break free from traditional constraints and carve out her own sonic identity. "Brown Noise", MARTINA’s slogan, reflects her belief in the groundbreaking talents of her region, challenging and redefining musical norms.

(caged) أسيرة

Rooted in transcontinental collaboration and experimental production, SAFETY HAZARD merges sonic textures from Cairo to London in a project that probes both internal and external constraints. The EP shifts between chaos and clarity, dissonance and rhythm, offering listeners a personal perspective on power, noise, and resistance.

The record opens with ‘⁠Caged (أسيرة)’ by electroneya, a layered and cryptic piece that destabilises traditional rhythmic structures and invites listeners into a blissful, unresolved soundscape. This is followed by ‘Silence the Noise (خرّس الدوشة)’, produced by MARTINA, a track that engages themes of censorship and repressed expression through fractured beats and sharp sonic turns. The journey concludes with a collaboration between MARTINA, electroneya, and TNSXORDS called ‘NO WAY OUT! ( !مفيش مفر)’ — a tension-filled composition of gasps, metallic textures, and hammering percussion — capturing a visceral, almost claustrophobic sense of urgency.
