@octalindustries is the solo project of Jónas Thor Gudmundsson. The project was originally founded in 2003 by Jonas and Mike Sickinger, the founder of the Octal label. The debut release of their collaboration was the Automatik EP on the Transistor Rhythm output. Couple of years later they joined their friend Deep Chord for a shared 12“ release, which today is a quite a valuable gem for dub techno lovers. The three of them joined hands together later that year to create a 3x12“ release undir the pseudonym Spectral Network. The release was quite limited (111 copies) and was considered one of the most interesting 12“ releases that year by many critics. 
After the release of the Spectral Network eps the duo went for hiatus as other projects took over, also as opportunity for musical collaborations became harder as the Atlantic Ocean divides them. Jonas continued working on other projects as @ruxpin – producing numerous releases along the way. 
In 2011 the duo was asked by the French independent label @entropy-records to do some releases. As Michael was unable to participate, Jonas went on solo and worked on a full-length release, which later became Meeting of the Waves LP. Another remix followed for G.R.I.T. which was hailed by dubtechnoblog.com as the best remix of the year 2012.   
In more recent years, Octal Industries has been working on numerous collaborations with artists such as fellow Icelander @ohm-599575574 - and fruits of their work has been released on labels such as @thule-records, Rawax, @luckofaccess, @allinnrecords and many more. 
Octal Industries also released works independently in 2019 an EP entitled Julia Sets on @kontaktrecordscph, which featured a remix from the Detroit legend @mikehuckaby – and his second full-length album Our Seasons, which was released on Vertex in December 2019. 
Octal Industries, although being Icelandic in origin, works and resides in Tallinn, Estonia.

#126 | Octal Industries (IS)

Recently, I've been asked about the reason why I stopped my monthly selections a few years ago. The answer is simple, Resident Advisor, the platform I was using to do it, is not offering the possiblity to create charts anymore. I now decided to bring them back, using my own social media, selecting ten tracks monthly including one full premiere on my Soundcloud & Youtube. Hope you'll enjoy this mesmerizing piece of music by Grad_U, to be released soon via Lempuyang !

Zurich-based producer Karl Primo aka @lbhonne steps up to deliver his debut long player on @projindigo. 'Present Future / Here There' LP delivers nine solo tracks spanning warm tonal ambiance and deep house tendencies, embellished with effervescent vocals and club focussed frequencies. Our pick 'Sky Funk' gradually develops an enchanting aura of melancholia that can be compared to that finite moment, when the swollen sun sets beneath the horizon. Earmark this for summertime open-air raves, this is the ideal accompaniment.

Will You joins the roster of Philipp Priebe’s Stólar this February with his ‘Is It 2 Late?’ EP accompanied by remixes from Lb Honne and Orion. Producer, DJ and Oleeva Records label boss Will You has been slowly unveiling his take on contemporary deep house and dub-tinged techno over the past few years via solo material and remixes on his own imprint and most recently a remix of Philipp Priebe’s ‘Movements In An Empty Department Store’ on Stólar. Here we see Will You returning to the latter aforementioned imprint with his latest EP. Leading the release is ‘Santé’, a six and a half minute excursion through snaking sub bass tones, a crisp, shuffled rhythm section, dreamy synth chimes, squelchy 303 licks and spoken word vocal lines. Title-cut ‘Is It 2 Late’ follows next and deviates into more dubbed out territory via expansive, unfurling echoes, cinematic atmospherics and robust, intricate percussion. Opening the flip-side is Zurich’s Lb Honne’s interpretation of ‘Is It 2 Late’, the Project Indigo artist extracts the essence of the original and reshapes it into a subtly nuanced, loop-led and hypnotic workout. Italian duo Orion then conclude the package with their take on ‘Santé’, reshaping the original with their signature deep techno style, fuelled by grainy textural components and bumpy saturated drums.

@pintai label head @hame-compathy steps into the spotlight with 'Set Me Free' — the imprint’s first solo extended player delivering a deeply emotive exploration of melodic deep house, weaving raw feeling into soaring synths and bittersweet progressions. It’s a record that doesn’t just play — it resonates, producing wave after wave of goosebumps. As a whole, 'Set Me Free' feels like a heartfelt nod to the world of Traumprinz and his many aliases, echoing the same ethereal intensity and introspective warmth.

My new single "Electric Sky", dropping September 12th on all major streaming platforms.

The idea for this track came to me in a dream. It’s not exactly a recreation of it, but that dream was the spark that pushed me to create it.

This was an edit I was working on two-three years ago. 

However, when my hard drive crashed I lost the project file so all I have left is this unmixed/unmastered version. I still kind of like it though, so I thought to myself: why not release it?
