🔺 Red Team: Blackout

⚠️ Introduction — SYSTEM: BLACKOUT

Signal compromised. Protocol engaged.

🔺 Red Team: Blackout is a 27‑minute tactical transmission at 140 BPM, F minor — an industrial techno × psybass incursion engineered by GerardKing.Dev. This is not background music. It’s a Red Team operation in waveform: acid‑scarred basslines, militant kick architecture, and binaural textures designed to fracture pattern recognition and re‑align attention.

Originally harvested from corrupted psy‑nets and hardened through modular racks, the mix functions as sonic countermeasure: destabilize, expose, reboot. Listen in a dark room, headphones on, and treat this as a field tool.

⚠️ Why This Mix Exists

A sonic remedy for corrupted attention. Every edit is tactical; every transition is a vector. The goal: interrupt entrained rhythms and deliver a controlled cognitive reset. Expect militarized drops, acid‑bitten leadlines, granular atmospheres, and club‑ready low end engineered for both headphones and Funktion‑level rigs.

🚨 Perfect For

Midnight red team ops
Cyberpunk writing sessions
Headphone lockdown rituals
Underground raves inside server rooms
Focused coding sprints when you want to break and rebuild attention

Playback advice: Headphones + dark environment + full volume = optimal effect.

🎚️ Sound Design Notes

Sub‑reinforced kick design for sustained impact
Analog acid lines resampled and granularized
Binaural spatial FX for head‑space disorientation
Tight, riser‑free transitions that maintain forward pressure
Distortion mapping applied selectively for harmonic aggression

🧩 Portfolio & Context

Illegal Red Team Mix — a precedent release in the Red Team series (see link above).
Substance D (Red Team Mix) — Dieselboy‑inspired DnB deprogramming project that informed the narrative and mixing philosophy behind the Red Team series (see link above).

This project extends that lineage into industrial techno and psybass, translated through cinematic mixing, modular sound design, and tactical pacing.

🧠 Listener Intent & Use Cases

Use this mix to: break trance loops, heighten cognitive friction, fuel dark creative sessions, or serve as a reference master for heavy low‑end production. It’s as much a tool as it is an artistic statement.

🎧 Genre Descriptions

🛠️ Industrial Techno

Definition:
Industrial techno is a raw, aggressive subgenre of techno that fuses the mechanical, repetitive rhythms of traditional techno with the harsh textures, distortion, and dystopian aesthetic of industrial music.

Core Characteristics:

BPM: Typically 130–145
Sound: Heavy, distorted kicks; metallic percussion; cold, machinic textures
Mood: Brutal, relentless, dystopian
Origins: Berlin techno scenes + 80s industrial (e.g., Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy)
Where it's played: Dark basements, warehouse raves, and underground clubs (Berghain, Tresor, etc.)

Cultural Notes:
Industrial techno isn’t meant to “entertain”—it overwhelms. It’s body music for heavy spaces, built for immersion, endurance, and altered states. Often performed live on modular setups or hardware rigs, it’s raw by design and emotionally cold, on purpose.

🧬 Psybass / Psy-Industrial / Psy-Tech Fusion

Definition:
Psybass is a bass-heavy offshoot of psytrance that trades the relentless high-BPM energy of full-on psytrance for slower, more hypnotic tempos (usually 110–145 BPM), thick sub-bass lines, and detailed sound design rooted in psychedelic modulation.

When fused with industrial elements, it creates a psy-industrial or psy-tech fusion—a genre crossover where tribal psychedelia meets mechanical aggression.

Core Characteristics:

BPM: 120–145 (but can go slower for deep psybass)
Sound: Glitched FX, phase-shifting leads, sci-fi atmospheres, sub-heavy kicks
Mood: Psychedelic, ominous, hypnotic
Origins: Evolved from psytrance, glitch hop, dark prog, and experimental bass
Where it's played: Psy gatherings, underground festivals, burner stages, and deep tech events

Cultural Notes:
Unlike festival psytrance (which often trends toward euphoric), psybass is darker, slower, and more cerebral. It’s meant for deep listening, often paired with visuals, installations, or altered states. In hybrid forms like Red Team: Blackout, the genre becomes a tactical audio experience, weaponizing psychedelia into industrial frameworks.

🧠 In Context — Red Team: Blackout

This mix sits at the intersection of these two genres:

From industrial techno, it borrows structure, aggression, and mechanical sound design.
From psybass, it inherits the modular textures, mind-bending atmospheres, and trance-inducing flow.

The result is a cinematic, militarized fusion: not just for dancefloors—but for operations, rituals, and focus states.

🔺 PRESS RELEASE

GerardKing.Dev Releases Red Team: Blackout — An Industrial Techno × Psybass Mix Engineered for Neural Disruption

Durham, ON — September 2025 – Audio weapon specialist and narrative mix designer Gerard King of GerardKing.Dev has released a new high-concept DJ mix titled 🔺 Red Team: Blackout, blending industrial techno with psybass into a cinematic 27-minute transmission engineered for maximum psychological intensity.

This mix marks the next chapter in Gerard’s experimental Red Team audio series, following the widely praised Substance D (Red Team Mix) — a drum & bass deprogramming operation inspired by Dieselboy’s iconic 2008 release.

“This isn’t a party mix. It’s a tactical sequence—designed to break corrupted attention loops and initiate deep listening.” — Gerard King

🧬 A Fusion of Two Weaponized Genres

🔺 Red Team: Blackout merges the mechanical brutality of industrial techno with the psychedelic intensity and bass-driven hypnosis of psybass:

Industrial Techno: Cold, aggressive, distorted. Rooted in Berlin’s underground and early industrial sound systems.
Psybass: Slow, heavy, mind-altering. Emerging from global psytrance cultures and modular synthesis labs.

With a core tempo of 140 BPM in F minor, the mix creates a relentless sense of forward pressure while delivering surgically layered sound design, acid modulation, and dystopian spatial textures.

🛠️ Built for Ritual, Not Recreation

Each transition in Red Team: Blackout is designed to serve a narrative purpose, aligning with Gerard’s cinematic mix philosophy:

No filler. No looped stems. No prefab transitions.
Designed as a tactical tool. For headphone rituals, late-night ops, and deep creative focus.
Crafted from original and underground releases. Tracks from RGH, HYBRID ACT, Iñigo Rave, Trippy Fox, and more.

“Think Berghain meets a neural firmware update. It's not just music—it's a corrective protocol.”

Sonho Contigo – HYBRID ACT
