The UK drum & bass heavyweight makes his debut on the Bassrush imprint with a stellar jump up track fueled by expertly crafted vocal chops.
UK producer Protostar makes his long-awaited Bassrush Records debut with “All For You,” a high-octane drum and bass single dropping September 5. Known for straddling the line between razor-sharp jump up chaos and liquid’s melodic pull, Protostar injects both worlds into a track built for peak-time velocity.

“All For You” spirals around glitchy vocal chops that flicker across blitzing drum patterns, reinforced by zipping Reese bass fills, crisp distortion treatments, and bursts of futuristic atmospherics. Soulful vocal belts punctuate the frenetic framework, adding human warmth to an otherwise surgical soundscape. The result is a cut that balances emotion and destruction—a perfect showcase of Protostar’s versatile signature.
Diving into the core technique that creates jet fuel for his stellar DnB banger, Protostar says, “‘All For You’ is a love letter to my obsession with vocal chops in music—trying to bring my style and flavour of production and mix it with the uplifting and euphoric sound of a classic vocal chop.”
With more than a decade in the game, Protostar has carved out a global following through both the club and gaming worlds. His productions have landed in ‘Fortnite’ and ‘Rocket League,’ while his bootleg of Linkin Park’s “Papercut” climbed to #2 on the Drum and Bass Hypeddit chart. His official remixes for Darren Styles, NURKO, Delta Heavy, and Dabin have further cemented his studio reputation, while his own releases on Monstercat have amassed over 53 million streams.
On stage, Protostar has lit up Liquicity Festival, NOX In The Woods, Halo Nightclub, PAARD, and OOSTerBAR, with three more Netherlands shows on deck this September, including a headline appearance at Liquicity Family Day. His tracks remain DJ and playlist staples, supported across editorial playlists including Massive Drum & Bass, Nitroboost, Friday Cratediggers, UKF Drum and Bass Top 100, and more.
“All For You” marks a pivotal moment for Protostar—a statement single on Bassrush that ties together his festival-tested energy, meticulous sound design, and deep-seated love for drum and bass.
Protostar’s new single “All For You” is available on all platforms via Bassrush Records.
More About Protostar
UK-based artist Protostar is an essential part of the drum & bass scene. Releasing with Monstercat since 2013, he has perfected his unique signature sound over the years, earning him upwards of 53 million combined streams across multiple platforms. His sound has attracted attention from fellow heavyweights, with official remixes for Darren Styles (Monstercat), NURKO (Proximity), Delta Heavy (RAM Records) and Dabin (Seeking Blue) under his belt, and his ability to create dancefloor destroying bootlegs (such as “Heads Will Roll”) consistently turn the heads of A-Trak and many others. It’s this very talent for bootlegs which also caught the attention of Minecraft soundtrack artist C418. Following his bootleg of “Aria Math,” it led him to create the soundtrack’s first official remix, Aria Math (Protostar Remix). Protostar has also broken into both video game soundtracks and DJing circuits in the past few years. Rocket League plays host to 3 of his biggest tracks (Galaxies, There and Back, New Horizons), also being found in Fortnite, and fans can hear these tracks in action during one of his many performances, whether in countries such as the Netherlands or at festivals such as NOX in the Woods and Liquicity. This is just a hint of what’s to come for Protostar, with more genre-defining releases, projects and performances in his future.
