A firm favourite among many #C4C fans, Danish DJ/producer #Bytecode returns to the label once more this November with the stellar Parasite Single.
Despite only picking up the #Bytecode alias back in 2018, the seasoned neurofunk pro has spent more than a decade in the game, both as a member of the #C4C-affiliated group Instinkt and as a solo producer under the name #Tomtek. Since adopting his new moniker, he’s released on both #RedLightRecords and #C4C, with his last two-tracker #Ragnarok earning high praise following its August release.
The new project follows in the same vein, exploring a more melodic strand of neurofunk. The project’s first offering, “#Symbiosis”, utilises delay-soaked chords and swelling synth arpeggios, proceeding to break into a hypnotic rhythm of flitting drums and murmuring basslines. Progressing into new sections with no two passages the same, the track makes use of both an ambient breakdown and a dark, percussive second drop to create thrilling, constantly morphing sonics.
“#Parasite”, meanwhile, is a cinematic triumph, its ebbing leads, gritty basslines, and repeated vocal samples making for a dark, intense soundscape. Interspersed with weightless breakdowns, the song keeps listeners on their toes, resulting in a hard-hitting stepper which will undoubtedly do damage on the socially distanced dancefloors!
