What If takes the Neurofunk x Jump Up fusion even further, locking in raw, in-your-face synth stabs over stomping, floor-shaking drums. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the second drop flips the script with a half-time section that hits like a sledgehammer. This one’s designed to catch you off guard and leave the dancefloor in pieces.

What If

Cat No: EVOC073
Artist: @ReceptorMusic x @engage
Title: ‘Surgeon’
Release Date: 10th October 2025
Record Label: Evolution Chamber

Few names carry the weight and innovation of Receptor, a producer long regarded as one of Drum & Bass’s most forward-thinking figures since his debut in 2008. As one of the founding members of Evolution Chamber, his influence has been cemented through ground-breaking solo works and collaborations that consistently raise the bar. Among those partnerships, his creative synergy with Engage has stood out for its intensity and precision, yielding tracks like Bio, Wi-Fi Waves, and Gothic. Now, a decade later, the pair return to the fold with their latest creation - “Surgeon.”

From its opening, Surgeon sets an unsettling tone with eerie pads and delicate hats, laying the groundwork for a sense of tension and intrigue. The track quickly develops with a phone-dial motif and thudding bass kicks, before dropping into an eruption of sharp snares and gritty, protruding bass stabs that cut through the mix with precision. Razor-edged FX and meticulous detail carry the momentum forward, making each bar bristle with energy.

Just when the pressure becomes overwhelming, the breakdown offers a brief reprieve before the track surges forward again into a second drop, this time with an even sharper bite. Clear-cut drums, rigorous low-end weight, and driving rhythms give Surgeon a raw and uncompromising edge, all while keeping an underlying sense of unpredictability that keeps the energy alive until the very end.

What makes this release stand out is how both Receptor and Engage take centre stage, and effortlessly combine their unique approaches: Receptor’s reputation for forward-thinking production and Engage’s trademark grit and precision. Together, they have created a track that reinforces Evolution Chamber’s reputation as a label committed to originality, creativity, and artistry within the Drum & Bass sphere.

Skulking through the shadows underneath the city streets was a horrendous beast, an amalgamation of once human flesh that had been absorbed from those discarded and forgotten on the streets above. In time, the last vestiges of these individuals vengeful will had sought each other out, infusing in their rotten remains a revenant power that sought revenge on those by whom they had been slain. With each corpse that their combined form came across the monster grew in might, and with each killer that they slew in vengeance they found within themselves a spark of arcane power restored to their being.

It was thus that they now held in thrall before their combined visage one who had slain many of their ilk, a prolific killer in his own right now paralysed in their grasp. From within their many-toothed maw shone a pale red light, hypnotic and enwrapturing for any to whom it shone. The light’s allure drew them in, unsuspecting, before the beast’s horrific embrace consumed them in a furious feast vengeful rage. Thus it was known that for all those who drew blood on the streets of the city above, the DEADLIGHT lurking below was to be their destined end.

DROPSET returns to EATBRAIN with his debut EP, DEADLIGHTS, and unveils four hypnotically horrifying tracks for the ears of the EATBRAIN horde.
