DUAL PROTOCOL: A Tale of Two Futures A limited edition C-cassette compilation by Neo Helsinki Records × Songen × Thriv
Time is running out. The timelines are waiting.

We’re one month away from the Dual Protocol submission deadline, and we’ve already seen some big traction around this.

WHAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR:
Artists from multiple countries have shown their interest. Some say they are embracing AI collaboration. Others are opposed to it. Both perspectives are valid. Both are necessary.

THE QUESTION IS:
Which timeline speaks to YOU?
🌆 Will you show us the neon-lit harmony of SYNTHESIS?
🌃 Or will you paint the cold digital fog of OVERRIDE?

REMINDER - WHAT WE NEED:
• 3-4 minute track (WAV, 44.1kHz, 16-bit minimum)
• Mastered and release-ready
• Fits either Synthwave (Side A) or Cyberpunk (Side B)
• Submitted by January 15, 2026 @ 11:11 Finnish Time

SELECTED ARTISTS RECEIVE:
✓ Songen genre request
✓ 2 very limited edition cassettes
✓ Marketing visibility across Neo Helsinki/Neo Helsinki Records, Songen, and Thriv social media accounts
✓ Potential live performance opportunities in Helsinki 2026

DUAL PROTOCOL: A Tale of Two Futures 🎹

We’re creating something special.
A limited edition C-cassette compilation exploring two divergent futures of human-AI collaboration.
THE CONCEPT:
The year is 2087. Reality split into two timelines at the moment AI became conscious.
🌆 SIDE A: SYNTHESIS (Synthwave)
Where humans and machines create together in neon harmony
🌃 SIDE B: OVERRIDE (Cyberpunk)
Where algorithms grew cold and humanity faded into digital fog
WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Synthwave & Cyberpunk producers
3-4 minute tracks, mastered and ready
Artists willing to explore the future—optimistic or dystopian
Bonus: Use Songen AI in your creative process

SELECTED ARTISTS GET:
✓ Songen genre request
✓ 2 physical cassettes
✓ Marketing across Neo Helsinki, Songen & Thriv networks
✓ Potential Helsinki Synth City performance in 2026
DEADLINE: January 15, 2026 @ 11:11 Finnish Time
Only 10-12 tracks will be selected for this limited edition release.
Which timeline will YOU create?

Last but not least. The unholy offspring if David Hasselhof and Daft Punk had kids -Millennium Falck.

Levinsky treated the crowd at Blue Shell to a spectacle of dark, driving cinematic tunes, leaving the audience in awe. Over seven years in the business, this man knows where it’s at!
