Marc Benjamin returns to Protocol Recordings with his newest single “Show You”, which is arguably one of the label’s hottest dance floor anthems this summer. Delivering big, bouncy basslines, tribal-influenced melodies, and funky vocal sampling, this track is primed for both daytime festival stage, and after-dark club room play and is sure to be a crowd favorite this summer. “Show You” is another testament to Benjamin’s dynamic style; he has released everything from RnB influenced electronic to classic progressive house to dance-pop crossover tunes with incredible prowess, earning his place as a Protocol veteran. “Show You” follows Marc’s recent release “Hooked,” released earlier this spring, as well as “Fall for You,” “Blaster,” “Unbreakable Hearts” and “Devil in Disguise.”

Nicky Romero and the Protocol crew can always be counted on for cutting-edge new music, melding a variety of genres for exciting and unexpected sounds. Their latest additions feel right at home with that mantra, bringing a medley of trap, future bass to the imprint’s already robust mix while still pumping out plenty of classic progressive jams. Veteran producer Marc Benjamin has a reputable taste for impeccable productions, evidenced in his past successes with his previous collaborations with heavyweights Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, and Yves V, and his remixes of Zedd’s worldwide hits “The Middle” and “Happy Now.” He’s performed around the world, including Ultra Bali and a 5-year residency at Amsterdam’s club Escape, and released on Spinnin’ Records and Steve Angello’s Size Records. Benjamin’s dynamic productions have piqued the attention of industry heavyweights like Tiesto, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Steve Angello and Avicii, so we can’t wait to see what comes next from him as part of the Protocol family!

Australian Bass Producer ShockOne returns with “Run”, featuring The Bloody Beetroots, the premier single from his highly anticipated second studio album. He has been quiet on the LP front since the 2013’s release of his critically acclaimed “Universus” album, but the new track proves that ShockOne has only sharpened his production prowess with time. From the moment that “Run” opens with undulating, cinematic synths with hints of heavy metal, you know you’re in for a wild ride; the drop delivers driving basslines and ominous vocal clips, building a dystopian atmosphere that is depicted in stunning visuals in its accompanying music video. Watch the “Run” music video as ShockOne unfurls complex and creepily poignant footage, hinting that sometimes the darkest parts of ourselves are more frightening than anything in the outside world. Keep an eye out for the full release of “A Dark Machine” LP on August 01 on Monstercat, for which ShockOne draws inspiration from the soundtracks of producers like Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis and the scores to old school slasher flicks from John Carpenter.

“I couldn’t be happier to join the Monstercat roster. It’s a brand known for pushing boundaries and a label releasing some of the most forward-thinking releases for my genre of music. It really is the perfect home for A Dark Machine and excited to have them work this record to every corner of the world alongside my long term home label Warner Music.” – ShockOne

Since his debut in 2009 with “The ShockOne” EP, Karl Thomas has established himself as one of the most exciting bass artists in the scene. He followed up his massively successful debut with 2011’s “Crucify Me,” a drum & bass/dubstep anthem in which he also showed his versatility and talent as a vocalist; this single served as a preview for his first album “Universus.” ShockOne’s most significant break came in 2012, when he released the genre-bending, now-iconic work of art that is “Chaos Theory” featuring Corey Burton. “Chaos Theory” experienced astronomical success, peaking at #2 on Beatport, #1 on Trackitdown, and #1 on iTunes Dance in Australia. This led him through a whirlwind of touring, playing festivals such as Creamfields, the Big Day Out, and Stereosonic, and playing sold out shows throughout Australia. After listening to “Run” we have no doubt that “A Dark Machine” will introduce us to a ShockOne who is bigger, better, stronger than ever before.

auvic shares with us a brand new track entitled “Inspire”. Incredibly, he has conjured a fascinating mixture of Rock and Electro House music. On the one hand, its aggressive bass along with crispy guitars cause a sonic rampage, leaving listeners wanting more. While on the other, this ecstatic sound reconnects you with fond memories of your experiences at music festivals or crazy parties.

A concept full of fantasy is what inspired the artist to produce this melodic gem.
