The Scientist known as `Esym`, tracked the fallout across dead frequencies.

The battle in the Rockies registered as static bursts on his consoles, tremors reaching even the
Pacific floor. CrucifyMe had stood again, he always did, and the erasers had burned sky and stone around him. The world thought him indestructible. Esym knew better.

The scientist sat deep inside the drifting carcass of Australia, once a continent, now a vessel. Its turbines pushed through black seas, powered by the fractured ghost of the NERV3 processor buried in its core. Every surge was slower than the last.

He felt it in his own chest, an arrhythmia of machine and flesh. Esym was wired into its heartbeat. Without him, the island would drift until it sank. Without it, he would stop entirely.

He remembered when it was alive: cities lit in fractal grids, markets humming with neon and rain, voices layered across data-channels like music.

Now, whole districts stood empty, only the reactor’s glow keeping the island from going dark. 

And Esym, tethered here, was the last scientist among the bones of a nation. 

CrucifyMe’s signal reappeared on his screens, faint, staggered, but undeniable.

Esym leaned closer, cracked lips curling faintly. “Still walking. Good.” 

His voice rasped, digitized by the modulators stitched into his throat. “The Colony never understood what they built into you. They thought execution would be enough. They didn’t see the architecture.”

He rerouted power, aligning the island’s trajectory toward the Rockies. The turbines groaned,  churning saltwater into black foam. The NERV3 fragment screamed inside its glass coffin, data bleeding into the sea.

Esym didn’t care. The only structure left strong enough to carry the last pieces of a dying machine was the unit within. 

“Every crucifixion failed,” Esym whispered into the hum of servers. “But this one, this one will hold.”

The continent-island drifted forward, neon arteries lighting up for the first time in decades, dragging its rusted shadow across the ocean toward a man the world could not kill.

Perth-based producer Esym makes his explosive debut on VTO Records with the Far Beyond EP
A hard-hitting three-track showcase of pure Neurofunk power. Featuring the relentless energy of
“Blast Burn,” the hypnotic drive of “Control Your Mind,” and the epic title track “Far Beyond,” the
release highlights Esym’s trademark fusion of cinematic sound design, fearless basslines, and
genre-bending influences drawn from Trance and Metal.

Already turning heads with a recent signing to Blackout Music, Esym continues to push the
boundaries of Drum & Bass while flying the flag for Australian Neurofunk on the global stage.
Far Beyond EP is available exclusively on Beatport & Spotify, Friday 31st October and everywhere else November 14th.

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

@mr-jinx

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with the sixth instalment of its heavyweight Rock N Rollerz series, a project dedicated entirely to the driving sounds of rolling drum and bass and jungle.

Over the past five episodes, Rock N Rollerz has become a flagship platform for showcasing the core energy of the scene, and Episode 6 is no exception.

This time, we welcome none other than Jinx, a true Birmingham stalwart and pillar of the UK drum and bass movement.

Having been deeply rooted in the city’s rave culture since 1995, Jinx has carved out an unmistakable sound; raw, heavy, and unapologetically rolling. 

Beyond his long-standing connection to the Second City’s underground, Jinx also runs his own
imprint, Straight Up Audio, and boasts an impressive catalogue of releases on some of the biggest labels in the game including Sony Music, Bassrush, Anjuna, Ruffneck Ting, Foundation, Born On Road, Jungle Cakes, and Liondub to name just a few.

His four-track debut on Dirtbox Recordings sees him distil decades of experience into one of his most accomplished works to date. 

Each track captures a different facet of his style while staying true to the roots of jungle and rolling drum and bass. Opening with “Rage,” Jinx drops relentless Amens and chest-rattling basslines, setting the tone for what’s to come. “Call Me The Boss” steps in with attitude, blending commanding vocal samples and tight percussion to create a dancefloor destroyer
built for the sound system.

“Our World” takes things deeper with a hypnotic groove, heavy low-end pressure, and soulful vocal snippets that nod to the golden era of jungle. Closing the release, “Grunge” brings pure fire, fusing distorted bass textures, chopped breaks, and layered vocal cuts that perfectly capture the raw, forward-driving energy Jinx is known for.

Having graced the decks at our debut Rock N Rollerz event in Birmingham back in 2022, Jinx’s
connection to the brand runs deep. This latest release cements that bond and showcases his mastery in translating the energy of the rave into pure sonic form.

With Rock N Rollerz Vol. 6, Jinx delivers the sound of Birmingham to the world; fierce, forward-thinking, and full of groove. Each tune is loaded with Amens, weighty basslines, and the kind of vocal flair that defines the modern jungle movement. This one’s strictly for the heads.

Rock N Rollerz EP 6 lands exclusively on Beatport & Spotify November 14th, Everywhere else
November 28th.
