Neonlight return to EATBRAIN after a long absence
Fourteen years after releasing the EATBRAIN cuts “Puppet Master” and “Hot Glue”, Neonlight have rejoined the label with a focused two-track release titled “Leaving Wonderland”. The comeback arrives after a lengthy gap on the imprint, but the duo have remained active in the scene during that time.
The new release is described as a concentrated neurofunk statement: aggressive, tightly produced, and heavy on technical detail. Fans can expect punchy basslines, relentless drums, and razor-sharp sawtooth synths across both tracks.
Two tracks, two distinct energies
“Leaving Wonderland” and “Elevate” act as sister tracks that show different facets of Neonlight’s production. The title cut leans into darker, more aggressive territory, while “Elevate” offers a funkier edge. Both tracks share intricate sound design and meticulous production, maintaining a relentless pace while approaching momentum and intensity differently.
Across the release, Neonlight deploy the precise synth work and detailed drum programming the pair have become known for, building momentum through carefully arranged elements rather than relying on gratuitous maximalism.
What they’ve been doing since the last EATBRAIN outings
Although absent from EATBRAIN for over a decade, Neonlight have not been dormant. The duo have toured internationally and expanded their catalog with the “Vanity Fair series”. They have also provided remixes for established acts, including work for Noisia, Black Sun Empire, and State of Mind.
Those activities kept the pair visible and allowed them to evolve their sound while maintaining the technical rigor that made their earlier work notable.
Release details and how to hear it
“Leaving Wonderland” is available to stream on Spotify and is exclusively available for purchase on Beatport. The two-track release is presented as a compact statement aimed squarely at fans of neurofunk and precision-driven bass music.
Neonlight also remain active across social platforms and audio channels, with presence on Facebook, X, Instagram, SoundCloud, and YouTube for listeners seeking updates and further releases.
Why this matters for neurofunk fans
Neonlight’s return to EATBRAIN carries significance because those early releases — notably “Puppet Master” and “Hot Glue” — helped define their relationship with the label. The new two-track set reads as both a continuation of that history and a statement of technical refinement. For listeners who follow the neurofunk lineage, the release underscores the duo’s commitment to tight arrangement, sound design, and rhythmic complexity.
As the scene continues to value detail-oriented production, Neonlight’s reappearance on EATBRAIN reasserts their place among producers who prioritize precision and impact. As the source puts it, let’s just hope we don’t have to wait another 14 years to hear what comes next.
