AION8 initiates a full-system sonic reboot with Restoration Protocol — a three-track release designed to simulate recovery, reintegration, and rhythmic resurrection.
Cold techno meets cinematic tension in this conceptual maxi-single, where every glitch, synth stab, and system prompt builds toward a single goal: restoring the signal.
⚙️ The protocol
The release arrives in three distinct forms:
Restoration Protocol (Main Mix)
The core transmission. Driving percussion and broken-system vocal lines like “System error detected” and “System calibrated” create a digital narrative of collapse and restart.
Restoration Protocol (Extended)
The longer form. Designed for full immersion or late-night DJ sets, the extended version builds tension through gradual layering and deep mechanical textures.
Restoration Protocol (Instrumental)
The bones of the system. Cleaned of voice samples, this version highlights the architecture of the track — from oscillating synths to sub-pulse modulations.
Each version brings you deeper into the loop — from glitch to clarity, shutdown to reawakening.
🎥 Visual companion
A week after launch, the official music video will be deployed.
The Restoration Protocol official music video presents a fractured post-cybernetic world where broken code and shifting data spiral into rhythm. It’s a vision of synthetic rebirth — corrupted, yes, but beautiful.

🧠 Behind the System
“This wasn’t just about making a track — it was about building a feeling of malfunction and recovery. It’s not dystopian, it’s adaptive. There’s beauty in a system that resets itself.”
— Alek Irwin (AION8)
