Protokoll 0

Protokoll 0 is a drum and bass duo formed in 2019, behind which are Kaspar Kosk and Sander Reila. As a result of their synergy, their first release “The Damned” under the RAM Records was released in 2019. The duo has performed in Tallinn Music Week festival and also in Labürint. Their live shows, as their music, are always a sight to behold - overwhelmingly energetic & some serious banger vibes.

ARTIST QUESTIONNAIRE: Protokoll 0

How did you get into drum'n'bass?

Sander: I found my way to drum and bass rather spontaneously. A lot of influence has come from friends. Even though I had been into music for some time, there still wasn’t a style to stick with. When I pitched the idea to Kaspar the answer in an instant was - “let’s do it”. After that, drum and bass has been a daily occurrence in my life.

Kaspar: I found drum and bass thanks to Sander.

What would you do differently as an aspiring young producer? Advice for newcomers:
