A surge pulsed out from Bass Valley. The world felt it. And now, the time has come to fight back.
In collaboration with our allies at SATURATE!, we’re initiating a classified mission: a call to all producers, sound scientists, and operatives of the underground. Your objective is simple — design a sonic counter-weapon strong enough to negate and overpower a second attack from our enemy.
Three operatives will have their experiments recognized for outstanding achievement. One will earn full clearance — securing an official LABEL release through SATURATE! and marking their place in the next chapter of the resistance.
Will you be the one to break through the noise?
