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.

It's been clear for a while now that Tantrum Desire's name on a track makes it a download-on-sight proposition for discerning selectors. Now, back on his home turf of Technique Recordings, it's time to see what he's got for us next.

Up first is “Unleashed”. Discordant orchestral swirls and an incisive blade of bass surround us with shadows. But, then, a rolling, evolving drum pattern shows us the light at the end of tunnel, building to an elephantine drop. TD smacks us with an insistent pulse of low-end and aggressively stark beats. This is militant music aimed straight at the dancefloor, reconfiguring elements of jump up to maximise the hype levels. But, make no mistake, the weight in the bassline, the punch of the drums, and the clinically lethal production make this, above all, a Tantrum Desire tune.

“Twerk It” has a hint of that tension-building darkness in the intro, but Tantrum Desire has much more to show us. As chords and bass rise and fall, morphing between keys and moods, leading us to one of TD's signature huge builds, the tune becomes epically cinematic. And that's before it's even dropped. Then raw savagery of the bassline cuts through the atmosphere with ninja precision, and things get even more hectic from there. Some wickedly slick modulations and kidney-punch drums make this an essential weapon of dance destruction.

Tantrum Desire's got this down to a science. His tunes are consistently at the business end of the download charts because they consistently connect with ravers. And, judging by this release, that's not likely to change any time soon.
