The New Year Protocol series is the first of its kind: an album that evolves and completes itself over time; a testament to the power electronic music has to tell a long-term story, and expand its meaning & boundaries to unprecedented heights.
The series debuted in January 2016, and is slated to last ten years, with one track releasing every year, for a total of 10 chapters.
These are oftentimes accompanied by countdown events on the day of release, featuring interactive puzzles to interact and dive deeper into the storyline.
