Protagonist Records

Epic melodic trance with a piano lead and growling, pumping bassline. This song, or a version of it will be included in the Xbox Live Arcade Indie Game I am working on with a small team. The illustration in the tag is from our artist, Alayna Lemmer.

Great breaks, gated pads, string melodies, and chopped acoustic guitars bring us a very BT-esque track. This is from Zircon's original soundtrack to the upcoming XBLA Community Game, "Fittest."

Sweet beats over a syncopated synth bed and catchy vocals!

Your slick funk delivery is here. Keyboard riffs, jazzy flute, and plucked and bass string instruments, and a heavy beat come together in Malcos' "Who Knows" from the instrumental side of his new album, Day Dreams.

Available Saturday, May 30Digital only.$5.99 Day Dreams brings a unique RnB and hiphop flavor to Protagonist. Malcos' beats, vocals, and grooves ooze smooth throughout 16 unique tracks. Half vocal, and half instrumental, the pervasive electronica influence keeps the sound fresh and unique...

Hey folks, in the interest of updating the site with more content more often, I thought I'd start taking on guest song releases. These would be free song postings from artists not in my current group of regular artists...

This is the second track we are releasing from Audix's contribution to the Goldeneye Source project. This is a dancy take on the classic Bond theme with a stylish synth solo section I'm really digging.

I'm happy to announce that Malcos has joined us here on Protagonist Records! Malcos is bringing from the U.K. his sultry, laid-back grooves and vocal stylings. We don't have anyone who sounds like him here yet, so I'm excited to have this unique sound...

Malcos joins us with a track from his upcoming album. Lightspeed is a sexy RnB electronica track with butter-smooth vocals from Malcos himself. We haven't had anything that sounds like this on Protagonist yet and I'm looking forward to more.

Check out Audix's awesome tracks being played for a college basketball starting lineup segment. Rad!

What's up, folks? I just wanted to write a quick post letting those who use Twitter to follow people that Protagonist and most of the artists here do the twitter thing and you should follow us! Follow @sgxmusic for official updates on both updates here at Protagonist and my(sgx) music...

MASS MEDIA CONSTANT is a 21st century drum n' bass oddyssey for the networked generation. By drawing influence from such sources as LTJ Bukem, Photek, BT, Pendulum, and The Sims, zircon ensures no two tracks sound alike...

Spooky, evil drum and bass from Mr. Zircon will invade your earholes.

Life of a Spy is an awesome take on the good old James Bond theme. With a great percussion groove, deliberate pace, strings, and a bit of atmosphere, the track really exudes the spy attitude...

I'm happy to announce that Zircon has joined us here at Protagonist and is bringing us his new EP, "Mass Media Constant." Ten tracks and 33 minutes long, Zircon jumps into a largely DnB style with panache and technical excellence...

To be available on Zircon's upcoming EP, "Mass Media Constant", here is Fiberoptics! Frantic dnb breaks, distorted growling bass, and syncopated synths come together in a sparkling electronic composite.

Now you can grab free ringtones from Protagonist artists. These are short 30-second clips of songs that you can load onto your cellphone and set to be your ringtone. When your friends ask, "Where did you get those glorious melodies?!!" tell them about protagonistrecords.net...

Dark, percussive, and moody, Hy Bound brings us some good movie trailer fodder tunage.

If you've been following Siamey since before Protagonist you may have heard this yummy trance brew constructed with both contemporary trance sounds and a dash of chiptune synth. If so, check it out again. If not, check it out for the first time!

I've been working on improving certain aspects of the site and adding a few features. Check it out: -The forums will actually do a line-break now (quite a sophisticated feature, I know). -"Send to friend" option has been added to all stories and music releases...

Pop-rock artist Wil Deynes contacted our Audix to put together a remix of his Ourstage-topping track, "Super Wonderful" and this is what Audix created. The remix is a catchy, bouncy, happy, and light electronica/pop concoction that will either lift your spirits or give you a cavity...

It's been a while since we've updated, and I'm sorry about that. My goal with this webspace has been to update frequently with news and have more free audio for download. The pace will be picking back up soon. We were supposed to have an album release by Destructo, but that has fallen through...

This is my remix of that iconic song from the movie "Requiem for a Dream." You've probably heard it in some movie trailers too, such as the Lord of the Rings Two Towers trailer...

Make sure you check back here on Friday for a special Halloween treat! I'll be releasing my new remix of "Lux Aeterna" from the movie Requiem for a Dream. It's gonna rock so don't miss it! If you like kickass beats, strings, angry bass, high energy, or music, you'll dig it.

This is just a quick post to let folks know about some awesome happenings with Protag. I (SGX) am working on a pretty awesome track I am excited about. It is a remix of "Lux Aeterna" from the movie Requiem for a Dream...

Here are some shots of the prints of Siamey's "Going Away" album. Check out my flickr for more photos.
