Rolling into 2023 like a flying Delorean, we start the year with the grand unveiling of our 1st ever compilation album.

Over the past few months we have been pondering how to go about this with one aim in mind. How do we showcase the very best of what we have done the
past few years while also giving you a taster of the future?

The answer well we literally could not leave a single track or release out, as there was just way too much original music we have thrown out into the
Neurofunk `Slappersphere` to even contemplate missing just 1 track that has graced the labels catalogue.

So here it is, every single track from the Almighty Beast right up to the latest dancefloor destroying Here 2 Invade. and everything in between  with some of the most talented and inspirational producers from around the world we have had the pleasure to work with, such as Resurgence, Mbee, Scalez, Kaizen Flow, Surgence, Binary, Transforma and of course the co-owner of the label Traced.

As if that was not enough, 3 newer talents that we had discovered In 2022 make their debut on the label before we see them all release individually in the near future.

We introduce to you, UK artists `Bad Ace` & `The Fi5th` and our first Northern Ireland producer onboard with us `Avoider` who more recently has come off 2 huge back to back releases on Dirtbox Recordings & Abducted in the past few months.

`Bad Ace drops one of the hardest and nastiest Neuro tracks to date on the label. “Reign” The hieroglyphical and egyptian sounds echo throughout a building of drums and bass on this one. Enough to shake any pyramid to its
core. and crumble any mummy to dust. Its about time we brought some balls to wall slappers for you lot and this does not disappoint.

`The Fi5th` debuts with a very funky number thats been doing the sounds. 
“Jump Funk” this one takes so many musical elements from multiple genres its hard to pin point what will happen next. But you can be assured this little groover takes you straight to the dancefloor every time its heard.

And finally `Avoider` brings out a track with a hugely fitting name `Piston` which sounds as though it would literally power a car itself let alone a whole rave full of gurning Neuro lovers. Avoider has a very eclectic sound so much different than anyone else and we love it because it crosses over so well
from Neuro to almost every other style of DNB you want it to fit with.

A name we thought only fitting to give this humongous project could only be “Chapter I” . It's our first instalment of our history and one we will be building on for many years to come. Its a story of the punk side of Drum & Bass and what both Lee UHF & Traced see in terms of a vision of what a story within Neurofunk should sound like.

History will be made March 1st 2023 Chapter I opens.

Various Artists- VTO Chapter I- VTORC001- 2023

The debut release brought to you by label owners @LeeUHF  (Of Dirtbox Recordings) & @Traceddnb presenting VTO Records (Vertical Take Off) 

A brand new record label focused on the sound of Neurofunk Drum & Bass accompanied with a retro Sci-Fi twist.

This year and beyond, we aim to bring you a huge selection of 
 releases with artists from across the globe.

"Paradox”
Traced is now synonymous with the Neurofunk sound with a massive back catalogue of music on some of the most prolific labels pushing the sound to your ears such as TrendKill, Close 2 Death & Cause 4 Concern.

The first track of the release doesn’t waste any time getting into what you can expect. 

takes us back to Traced’s roots with an evil stab, bass & driving chords accompanied by the Paradox vocal sample.

The first drop of this is huge, A favourite of the very few that currently have this spinning it already but most certainly putting Pardox up there in talks as one of the best Neurofunk tracks of the year so far.

“Deep Vision”
Our second track of the EP “Deep Vision” Is starting off with an uplifting riff building up into a female vocal.

It slips into a complete different direction on the drop with a nasty bass accompanied by a Trance riff that both complement each other in amazing fashion This brings you into the huge breakdown where you get to hear the huge chords echoing around your speakers
as it eases down and into a relaxing state.

This doesn’t last long of course as the second drop has more of the first but with a lot more to take in with Traced’s signature Neuro beats.

Vertical Take off Starts June 11th 2021

Traced is back on his co-run label alongside Lee UHF with a huge party style Neurofunk Single "The Beast" Traced is no stranger to the Neurofunk genre. His releases have now spanned years and bringing some of the most sort after and prime time played tracks within the sub-genre of D&B and beyond.

His latest release `The Beast` we felt is a pure stand alone and career defining track for Traced, and is sure to set every dance floor alight 

"The Beast"
Starting with a Haunting intro almost reminiscent of the buildup walking into the club for the first time to hear your Favourite DJ, We then get straight into the buildup of the track which will have fists waving and feet moving right from the get go. 

This track oozes pure screw face vibes right from the start and the "Beast" sample is truly an adequate name for what’s to come.

The Beast gets its claws out August 20th on all good stores worldwide

@binaryneuro
@transformadnb

This is Binary. Known individually as MissionControl and Kappie.

The merging of their expert capabilities and raucous dancefloor prowess present a totally new pseudonym, having both spent time capitalising on their individual skill sets. Their collaborative project Binary sees a fusion of uncompromising, hard hitting production and oozing dancefloor appeal, whilst remaining consistent in their output with an unbridled creativity.
Having already released on the likes of Sample Genie, Optiv’s Red Light Records Axon, Maztek’s 0101 Music and many more. We can not wait to unleash their powerful `Insomniac` EP alongside Transforma to everyone on VTO

Transforma is an Australian D&B producer who is based out of Bristol UK who is rapidly becoming a name to look out for.

He began cultivating his musical prowess at only 14yrs old and from there played guitar in bads for over a decade until yearning for a new challenge in D&B.

During the past 8yrs Transforma has undeniably cemented his place amongst the elite in the Australian bass music scene & now the worldwide D&B community. and is fast becoming highly sought after for his unmissable hard edged Neuro sound.

i/ Binary- `Insomniac`
A record which leaves little to the imagination within its build up and 80s Synth sounds. It goes all guns blazing straight into its first climatic drop, Followed by the cut which starts it to then begins to ramp up with velocity to the main drop featuring sonic technology that is as intimidating as it is clear cut.

ii/ Binary & Transforma - `Reflux`
The second track is still the high standard Binary like to bring with every release but this time the collaborative effort of Transforma in the mix brings an even higher dose of Neurofunk style adrenalin that is sure to bring you to the brink of exhaustion on the dancefloor.

Still going for the throat with every pounding section of drums `Reflux` is slightly more reminiscent of the old school. With heavy swathes of percussion and meandering Bassline. It presents their Neuro-infused touches whilst also opening up a different side to their musical vocabulary

VTO touches down once again with this huge release December 27th 2021

@KaizenFlow is made up of the duo Nick & Shane,

Shane had previously experienced producing music himself in college and regularly played guitar growing up, even joining a band to forward his talents.

Nick was an avid clubber at drum n bass parties around the UK.

It wasn't until shortly after their meeting that they started music production together just for fun.

It was not until they discovered the legendary sounds of DNB producers `Noisia` that their drum and bass journey was embarked upon.

In the past few years a quick rise to fame has started with some huge releases on huge labels such as Expedite, Eatbrain & Korsakov.

And now nearing the end of 2022 the duo have a whole catalogue of music set to be released.

This brings us to their debut with VTO Records. 

After meeting Dan and Lee the label owners in person at the Neuroheadz event. 

The 4 of them got their heads together to make sure this release happened and now we unleash the talents of this duo to the world.

`TLM`
The first of the 2 tracks was inspired to give a feeling of both nostalgia and high energy. 

The vocal chops take you back to tracks that they both listened to many years ago and a sprinkle of the Reece sound and neuro style basses give this the contract that they fell in love with all those
years ago. 

A very high paced fun Neuro track thats doing some serious damage at the moment

`Object`
A huge contrast to the first, Object represents a much different and highly original idea that was never a focus to release alongside TLM.

A more abstract track with its own agenda and a heavy vocal style lead that pieces the track together nicely.

An unusual and dark overlay of this track brings it to life and will be a stable track for VTO we feel for many years to come.

Kaizen Flow debut with this release 11th November
