A1. Z.I.P.P.O - We Need One Another

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.

B2 VRIL - Bruch Im Nullpunkt (Parallel 9 Remix by Steve Rachmad)

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

Pensa Poetico

On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

A1 / 1. Cubismo 8.1
A2 / 2. Cubismo 8.3 (Lost Buenos Aires)
B1 / 3. Cubismo 8.3
B2 / 4. Cubismo 8.4 (Lost in Buenos Aires II)
B3 / 5. Cubismo 8.5 (Lost in Buenos Aires III) 
           (Bonus track)

Cubismo itself is a reflection of the artist’s penchant for fragmenting and reassembling diverse sonic forms, borrowing its ideology and production technique from the artistic movement after which it is named. Cubismo 8.1 and 8.3 are raw, hypnotic, and dance floor-driven. Cubismo 8.3, possibly the most visceral piece on the four track EP, gradually builds tension throughout, overlaying undulating synth lines with distorted surface noise and pitch-shifted phrases. The series of Lost in Buenos Aires tracks, however, are ambient and, at times, incredibly cinematic, utilizing heavily-layered feedback and shivering harmonies. The overall effect is one of abstraction, cohesion, and balance.

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.
