The first of five samplers leading to Evolution Chamber’s EC100 album, this two-track set marks the label’s 100th release. Audio’s “Final Protocol” drives from an angelic vocal motif into stabbing rhythms and roaring bass; Billain’s “HealHurtHateHelp,” featuring Catherine Pan, takes a darker route, threading her glitching vocals through a tense, shadowy build before hitting with a forceful drop.
The pairing brings two distinct takes on high-impact drum and bass to the milestone: Audio’s urgent pressure and Billain’s brooding atmosphere, with a brief warm break offering contrast in the latter.
