VTO Records Podcast 28- Featuring Esym (Hosted by Lee UHF)

@TRCDDNB

TRCD moved through the undercity like a shadow. Neon veins ran across the walls, pulsing with the heartbeat of a city that had long stopped caring. 

The ghost signal from Esym lingered in his neural implants, a faint echo pointing him forward: the Vortex. The gateway that could send him back, back to the time before the Cells Interlinked cyber unit had risen, before their half-human, half-machine hands had reshaped the world into chaos.

Every tier of the city was a puzzle of firewalls and security drones, each step a gamble against AI enforcers that remembered every trespass. TRCD had learned to move between them, masking his presence with fragments of old code, stolen from the systems Esym had left behind. 

The Vortex wasn’t a place you found on a map, it existed in the folds between networks, at the intersection of forgotten tech and raw energy.

He paused at the edge of an abandoned data tower, its upper floors shattered, sky barely visible
through jagged steel. Here, according to fragmented logs, the first traces of the Vortex had been
detected, where the Cells Interlinked had experimented with temporal compression. 

TRCD tapped into the console embedded in the wall. The interface flared, holograms folding into his retina display. Streams of data scrolled like rain, whispers of the past trapped in code.

A warning flashed: unauthorized access. TRCD’s implants flared, forcing him to dive into the maintenance ducts as a patrol of autonomous Sentinels swept the floor below. He could hear their mechanical limbs clanking, scanners piercing the shadows. One wrong move and the timeline could collapse, erasing everything he had tried to preserve.

At last, in the core of the tower, he found it: a lattice of pulsating energy, twisting metal and plasma into a doorway that shimmered between moments. The Vortex. It smelt of ozone and old circuits, alive with possibilities. 

TRCD’s hand hovered over the interface, the code of the Cells Interlinked etched in his memory. One wrong entry, and he could doom more than himself. One correct sequence, and he could undo decades of manipulation, restore the lives stolen by the half-human AI warlords... He took a breath.

And then the Vortex shuddered. Something from the future, or what remained of it was trying to
step through before him.

TRCD returns to his home base, VTO Records, for what has now become a yearly tradition. 

As label owner, he closes out each year with a powerful statement piece that captures the essence of his sound and marks another milestone in the TRCD story.

The Vortex is a fierce yet melodic neurofunk weapon, twisting listeners into its high-energy swirl of raw emotion. Already tested on dancefloors to stunned reactions and praised by fellow producers, this track cements TRCD’s status as a force in the scene and a fitting finale to another unforgettable year on VTO Records.

The Vortex opens on November 28th exclusively on Beatport & Spotify before everywhere December 12th

@MELDNB

MEL comes out of the gates swinging in 2026 as she returns to VTO with a venomous new track, `Enigma`.

Dark, edgy, and drenched in snarling reese basslines, this one doesn’t just enter the ring... it dominates it.

Rapidly ascending into the top tier of the scene, MEL has become known for her high-energy, dark- driven sets and heavy-hitting releases.

She’s been carving out a definitive space in the Neurofunk arena with a signature sound and as a rising force, she continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations within the genre.

Enigma arrives as part of VTO’s CODE:HER EP - a project dropping on International Women’s Day weekend and dedicated to spotlighting women producers who are redefining heavy, technical Drum & Bass.

it’s a message, a statement and a celebration of women thriving in Neurofunk.

Enigma is available exclusively on Beatport February 27th and to Stream on Spotify before a full worldwide release March 13th.

CODE:HER EP lands Friday March 4th exclusively on Spotify & Beatport before a worldwide
release March 20th

CODE:HER EP

Enigma

MEL- Enigma (CODE:HER Sampler)- VTO Records- 2026

@MelDNB @dj_thelena @jane-doe-drum-n-bass @Siren_uk

VTO proudly unveils CODE:HER, a project long in the making and landing on the weekend of International Women’s Day.

This EP shines a spotlight on powerhouse women producers of Neurofunk and Drum and bass music as a whole and showcasing the varied and cultivating sounds that women bring to the culture and the dancefloor.

CODE:HER is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a statement, a message of empowerment and a celebration of women dominating within the Neurofunk realm.

We are VTO Records thought it would be only fitting to step aside for this release and leave the whole curating and planning to the women themselves with MEL leading the way as a guest curator and decision maker for this whole project.

Neurofunk drum and bass is evolving at a rapid pace and women are at the forefront of this music, championing hard and laying roots into the sound itself.

This release brings together fierce creativity, technical mastery, and uncompromising vision, proving that these artists aren’t just participating in the scene… they’re redefining it.

i/ MEL - “Enigma”

The curator and driving force behind this EP, MEL steps back into VTO with `Enigma` - her fiercest work to date. A razor-wired neuro weapon built from snarling reeses and pressure-cooker
tension.

After teasing the scene with the sampler last week, MEL certainly sets the tone for the project.

ii/ Siren - “Self Destruct”

After a standout 2025 with heavyweight signings on Blackout and Eatbrain, Siren storms into 2026 with her debut on VTO. Self Destruct is pure, unfiltered aggression: high-impact and built for
maximum damage on the dancefloor.

No fluff. No compromise. Just a full-throttle rave detonator.

iii/ TheLena - “Drifting”

Making her VTO debut, Sounds of Ukraine’s leading lady, TheLena, arrives with `Drifting` - an adrenaline-soaked fusion of rave stabs, amens and unrestrained Neuro nastiness.

What begins with electrifying tension quickly twists into a full, face-melting barrage. A curveball track that demands attention from start to finish.

iv/ Jane Doe - “Knock Out”

Australia’s reigning Neurofunk queen and one of our 5 in-house artists, returns to her VTO stomping ground with `Knock Out`.

True to its name, this track swings hard - a high-energy onslaught packed with signature Jane Doe grit, attitude and explosive Neuro power. She’s back, and sharper than ever.

CODE:HER is out now exclusively on Beatport & Spotify  and a worldwide release March 20th.
