Style and equipment

The Prototypes produce music largely influenced by drum and bass, as well as related genres such as breakbeat and jungle. When asked about incorporating other genres, the members stated in 2015 that "both of us have always had one common goal, and that's to smash it as hard as we can and be the best at what we love doing… Which is writing drum and bass. Sure, we will experiment with other tempos and genres, but our hearts bump at 174bpm and [we] don't see that changing very soon." On 11 May 2015, Jemayel Khawaja of the publication THUMP wrote that "The Prototypes have been a fixture on the UK underground for a while now, particularly amongst the more aggressively ilked." Early musical influences on the members were diverse, with Garvey citing the Fugees as influential, and White citing Nas. Both have also been influenced by releases from Guns N' Roses and Slash. The duo uses programs such as Cubase for production VSTs such as SynthMaster. ==Members==
