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

The Vortex

TRCD- The Vortex- VTO Records- 2025

Some conjurers pull rabbits out of hats... Some make people disappear... Some use sleight of hand to execute complex card tricks.

Kalane does none of the above. Instead, he conjures up bad boy bashy drums, paired alongside tough bass hooks to get your blood pressure peaking.

His debut EP on Truth Hertz includes three original tracks (one of those being a collaboration with R3IDY) that do just that and more.

Kalane & R3IDY - Rain Risk

Fabric8 - Murder Sound

Fabric8 - Mechanica

Fabric8 - Fake Gods

Fabric8 - Bloodmoon

Kalane - Silver

December 1st. We say goodbye to one of our most innovative projects to date.

In 2023 Lee UHF & Shayper came up with `The Tape Pack Project`

This was a series of releases by 1 artist spanning 12 months creating a body of work to be proud of and build consistant releaes throughout that time.

12 releases, 12 months. All on the first of every month and all 3 series of this project over the past couple of years have been monumental to say the least.

December 1st we see the legendary Noise Souls complete this series and his own year with "Sequence V12 Connected"
