Protocell

Protocell is a French post-punk project helmed by artist William Robin, based in Bordeaux. The project crafts a unique blend of dark wave, synth-driven music rooted in the spirit of 1980s British post-punk, darkwave, and synthpop, all wrapped in a futuristic, dystopian atmosphere inspired by sci-fi classics like *Blade Runner* and *Metropolis*. Protocell’s sound is characterized by a mix of analogue and cybernetic elements, creating an evocative, extraterrestrial vibe that bridges retro aesthetics with a haunting, modern edge.

Recent releases like *Magonia*, *Radio Silence*, and *Another Life* showcase this distinctive style, combining dreamy melodies and dystopian themes that explore fractured identities and futuristic worlds. Protocell’s music resonates with fans of romantic post-punk and those looking for a moody, immersive sonic experience with a sci-fi twist.
