Arkeo is my most eclectic and techno-driven album to date—a fusion of my love for subterranean aesthetics and my deeply-rooted connection to Detroit’s underground music scene. 
While always keeping the dance floor in mind, this album also reflects something more personal: my spiritual journey and how it applies to my daily life.
Arkeo represents the awareness that I have weaknesses, but rather than seeing them as limitations, I view them as opportunities for God's power to work through me.  It’s a reminder that my dependence on Him allows me to walk more fully into the abundant life I’m meant to live.
Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
As you listen, my hope is that you don’t just hear the music, but that you feel a connection to something deeper.

After a short sunstroke and a well-needed pause, we're gently dusting off the Aquatic Gardens series to make way for its 29th bloom, one that's both fierce and grounding.

This time, the invitation goes to our dear friend @oliver-sj-lund, an Amsterdam local with roots all the way North, and a founding pillar of Noord Space, where countless memories and frequencies have echoed into the day and night. Also known as the digging mind behind Forgotten Tracks, his sonic vocabulary is built on wax and whispers, always pointing toward the rare and the precious.

For this mix, @oliver-sj-lund takes us on a techno-forward path - sharp, deep, and carefully sewn together. It's a ride that cuts through the post-heatwave haze and carves a powerful opening into the weekend.

Strap in, dive deep - the garden is in motion again.

1Line, ORISS, Silver Panda - Flashing Light [Simulate]

EXTIMA welcomes Deus Deserto to its roster with La Fabrica, a powerful debut single designed to ignite the dancefloor.

Staying true to his ethos — "Techno is all about the energy on the dance floor and how listeners vibe to it" — Deus Deserto delivers a heavy-duty track with earthquakelike low-end and crisp, driving drums. It's a perfect blend of old-school grooves and modern techno energy, melancholic yet uplifting.

Inspired by legends like Eric Prydz, Faithless, Adam Beyer, and Dubfire, his sound bridges nostalgia and innovation, crafted with creativity and intent. The name "Deus Deserto," meaning "God from the Desert," nods to his Qatari roots — a personal touch that runs through the emotional depth of his music.

La Fabrica is a striking debut from an artist who's here to move both body and spirit. Now streaming on all major platforms — and just the beginning of what's to come.

Rambadu - I Himal
I Himal [R001 / Rambadu]

Produced by Paul Roeleveld aka Rambadu
Mastered by Giuseppe Tillieci at Enisslab Studio
Artwork by Camille de Bruin & Paul Roeleveld
Released by Rambadu from Netherlands
Release Date : September 20th. 2019
Handstamped & Stickered 12" Vinyl

This first release is the birth of Rambadu as an artist and a label. "I Himal" takes you on a journey to a mystical and vibrant place high in the Himalaya's. Sensing the energy of the people and surrounding mountains, he creates a ritualistic dance of natural and electronic resonances.

"I Himal", is a grounding beat with hypnotic singing bowls that pull you in and out of another dimension. "Mescam", showing the inner depths, floating through space and time. "Adoor" (vinyl-only), re-connect with your mind.

All sleeves are hand-made with love!

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
