After launching my own label absorb emit and releasing a rhythmic extravaganza Cordyceps Disco EP last November, it was time to invite some of the most exciting producers to put their unique  touch on the EP.  All the producers have a special affection for sound design and it was particularly exciting to hear them deconstruct and yet amplify this Codyceps Disco universe even further.

Cordyceps Disco Remixed out on 6.02 & 13.02

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.

Release date vinyl/digital: March 31 / April 4, 2025

A special Japan connection for the next release on DJ Nobu’s Bitta label. Osaka-based Erik Luebs joins the roster with an EP of iconic, trance-influenced techno melancholia. Having released most of his work through his own DIY channels, Luebs' sounds have reached many dancefloors worldwide. He now teams up with Bitta for something special. On Nontemporal Void, Luebs delivers four tracks that perfectly showcase his diverse sound palette. Each track hits a different box of energy—all while injecting a healthy dose of hypnotism. With a keen eye for detail, the EP moves from slowly built-up tension to eyes-closed techno grooves and synth-heavy euphoria, showcasing the many sides of a magnificent sound designer and creative artist.

02 Erik Luebs - Irradiated Body

Tresor resident DJs LNS and DJ Sotofett have for some years been developing a style at the club's Globus floor, and their new EP is a die cut of exactly the classic techno, electro, and house music they play. Here are no productions drenched in reverb, no hi-fi obsessions or generic algorithmic patterns – this is Globus Trax, the duo's third release on Tresor Records, four tracks consisting of real TR-909 workouts, rude and driving basslines, live runs through the mixing desk, and a Blake Baxter cover version with LNS on vocals. 
 
LNS & DJ Sotofett programmed an EP to perfectly fit their warehouse style of DJing, bringing out colour and variation in a spectrum more similar to a club compilation than a dogmatically reduced concept. With a single repeated vocal sample, Globus Trax opens bombastically with ClickClickClick, a dub-infused UK garage house track anyone in the world can easily describe in the course of a second.
 
Following this comes Gearbox which is a hefty slab of big room electro featuring a centerpiece arpeggio and the warmest harmonic pads on the EP's four tracks, which not-so-subtly makes reference to the pioneering band that shares a name with Globus and Tresor's home, the Kraftwerk. 
 
The house vibe returns on Destination 909, which is nothing but a manifesto for the TR-909, where the beloved drum machine's jacking beats meet galactic strings and synthetic bass, only to be ripped apart in a slamming break that sees the machine take centre stage as it cuts in-and-out of the mix, again a clear nod to the duo's sets in the club.
 
LNS steps up on vocal duties and DJ Sotofett keeps the 909 running for their final cut, taking a deeper dive into the realms of classic techno and paying tribute to "The Prince of Techno" Blake Baxter by covering his Reach Out originally released on Tresor Records in 1995.
 
The 12" was cut by DJ Sotofett himself at Manmade Mastering, where he resurrects the lost art of late-90s loud cuts with sonic presence and punch, optimal for the club-focused 12" format, and is the first to come in the new Tresor Sleeve, boasting an embossed logo on either side.

Both a brand and an author, whose is the mind drawing the plans under that name? Whoever he is, he wanted to let the creativity that lies deep within run free, and has carved out his first tracks by cementing a solid base of sonic material made up of pure techno with minimalist touches. Pure concrete straight from Chicago with Detroit ripples and forged of alloys derived from the most genuine Soul.
Drinking from the fountain of intelligent techno, this recently graduated architect starts his career demonstrating that, having absorbed the teachings of the classics, his time has come. Architectural has come to stay. This is not just another name, Architectural has earned it and become someone who will explore new avenues in the deepest and most mental electronic music you’ve ever danced before. 
 
This powerful edifice which rises sky-high, laid its foundations and basic structure in Architectural 001 and 002, which presents us the blows, clicks, snaps and twisting resulting from the construction crew’s hard labour and exploitation of a dark desolate ground under the instructions of an Architect, whose mind generates the project that builds up before us. 
 
After the elation with which his first projects where welcomed by the most well known European dj’s, Architectural continues his building project with a surprising 3rd EP. Architectural 003 proves that this is no rookie, he’s a blazing star showing such a high level of creativity and innovation that leaves no room for doubt. We give ourselves over to a captivating rhythm, and it's a privilege. We are participating in the birth of a new sound structure which will lay the foundations of a style many will follow.
At the endings of 2011 Architectural presents his 4th work: Architectural 004. This is the culmination of the first structure planned by this artist, but is sure that it will not be the last.

A 5th part of his project is now in the design phase: ¿which surprises will it give us? We will discover it soon: don't miss the musical construction project of Architectural.

Al mismo tiempo sello y autor ¿quien hay tras este nuevo nombre y los proyectos que está creando? Sea quien sea, ha querido dar rienda suelta a la creatividad que latía bajo su piel y ha esculpido los primeros tracks que cimentarán una sólida base de materia sónica compuesta por puro techno con toques minimalistas, hormigón proveniente de Chicago, con vetas detroitianas y forjado de aleaciones derivadas del soul más genuino.
Bebiendo de la escuela del ‘Intelligent Techno’ este recién licenciado arquitecto comienza su carrera demostrando que, una vez ha interiorizado las enseñanzas de los clásicos, ha llegado su hora: Architectural ha venido para quedarse, no es un nombre más: es por méritos propios alguien que va a marcar un nuevo camino en la electrónica de baile más profunda y mental que hayas bailado.
Esta poderosa edificación que empieza a alzarse pone sus cimientos y estructura básica en Architectural 001 y 002, que nos presentan los impactos, chasquidos y torsiones que provoca todo el equipo de construcción enfrascado en su tarea, explotando un oscuro terreno desolado, siguiendo las indicaciones del Arquitecto que genera en su mente todo el proyecto que irá alzándose ante nosotros. 
Tras una exultante acogida de sus primeros proyectos por parte de los más reconocidos dj’s europeos, Architectural continúa su proyecto constructivo con un sorprendente tercer EP: Architectural 003 es la constatación de que no nos encontramos ante un ‘rookie’, una estrella fulgurante: exhibe tal nivel de creatividad e innovación que no deja lugar a dudas: entregarnos a su cautivador ritmo es un privilegio, es participar en el nacimiento de una nueva estructura sonora que va a marcar un estilo que muchos tratarán de seguir.
No ha muerto todavía el año 2011 cuando el afán productivo de Architectural nos entrega su cuarto trabajo: Architectural 004. Culmina así la primera estructura proyectada por este artista, la que a buen seguro, no va a ser el único elemento creado por él.
Una 5ª fase de su proyecto está ya en fase de diseño: ¿qué sorpresas nos depara? Pronto lo sabremos: no te pierdas el proyecto de construcción musical que traza Architectural.
