The Rotterdam-based label and agency On Board Music proudly marks its 10-year anniversary with a carefully curated compilation of likeminded artists. This milestone release showcases those who have shaped the label's sound and identity, while also setting the tone for the years to come. On Board 10 features nine tracks on vinyl, complemented by five exclusive digital bonus tracks.

The collection traverses a diverse spectrum: from the immersive depths of Altinbas' atmospheric journey Submersion to the intricate, rhythmic craftsmanship of Polygonia's drum-workout Broken Temptation, and from GiGi FM's ethereal dub-techno exploration Maova and Dorisburg's percussive, Nordic-techno gem Sensorik. The release blends introspective meditativeness with dancefloor-ready energy - a balance between home listening and club environments. It's atmospheric, trippy, dubby, broken, ambient, techno - all the sounds that define the essence On Board Music.

Gradient 001 – Taxiing

Every journey begins in stillness — a quiet breath before takeoff.
Taxiing captures that moment of anticipation, where ambient textures and subtle rhythms stretch across the silence.
The dancefloor sleeps — but the pulse has started.
It’s the space before movement, where we reflect, focus, and feel what’s about to unfold.

Gradient 001 - Taxiing

"In this dark hour, when shadows grow long across the face of our mortal world, I speak of a truth most terrible and profound. The Great Serpent of our time lies coiled in slumber, hearing not the cries of people.

Behold! The Year of the Snake unfolds not with wisdom but with silence. While chaos reigns in every corner of our existence, the Serpent sleeps on, unmoved by our suffering.

Listen, dear soul, to these words I offer as candles in the darkness: Within the chambers of your heart beats a rhythm unique to you alone. This rhythm, this voice that whispers in the silence of your thoughts, is your true salvation. Hear it & hold it dear! For those who find this inner voice shall weather the coming storm.

The masses wander blind, following shadows and echoes, not knowing their own minds. Yet I tell you this truth – those who awaken to their authentic nature shall find strength when others falter, peace when others tremble.

In these strange days when machines mimic the works of man, only those who love their craft with passionate devotion shall remain. The soul that burns with purpose cannot be replaced by cold mechanism.

The path forward lies not in the multitude, but in the singular truth of your being.
Heed this warning, this promise, this revelation.

The Serpent sleeps, but we must wake." -Hopdop, The Serpent Sleeps

Gradient 002 - Takeoff

While Gradient 001 was about setting the tone — stillness, tension, the quiet before movement.
Gradient 002 picks up right where we left off, at 125 BPM, and gradually builds toward 130bpm.

This mix is an invitation to the dancefloor.
Elegant and deep, its grooves are warm and textured.
Hints of dub, traces of house — but the structure remains techno.
It evokes the early hours: controlled momentum, subtle tension, and poise.

If the mix resonates, a like or share helps — no platform behind this project, just slow growth and kind algorithms.
