Turbo Recordings is humbled to present this lovingly rendered reissue of Neutron 9000’s lost ambient trance classic. Composed and recorded at London’s Orinoco Studios in 1994 by Dominic Woosey, Lady Burning Sky was originally released on the legendary UK label Rising High.

Turbo prides itself on living in the moment and fighting for the future, and this rare excursion into the past is arguably the most forward-looking release of the next five years. To learn how this is possible, we sat down with label owner Tiga, for whom this represents a true passion project.

Why a reissue?

I live my life with no regrets. That said, I do see the value in righting the wrongs of history and shining a light on music that hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. I’ve never met anyone who knows Lady Burning Sky, and it'’s usually the first thing I ask as a way of establishing dominance. This album has been a constant companion of mine for decades, and it’s high time others got in on that companionship.

What is your history with Neutron 9000?

I met Dominic Woosey on my first trip on my own to Europe. Yeah, I was a Eurail Kid, stowing away in sleeper cars and riding the winds of culture across the continent. I got Dominic’s number through a mutual friend, and when I met up with him in Berlin. he instantly became the coolest person I had ever met, which is crazy when you consider I grew up in Quebec. It was like I had fallen in with Berlin techno royalty, an eager young squire getting my first glimpse of a kingdom I had no idea existed.

What was so special about him?

He was the only person I knew who was into early trance, but he wasn’t a new age hippie. He was aloof. He was witty. He took the piss. And this album reflects that. It’s like hardcore ambient. It is distinctly not about peace, love, and unity, and that made a real impression on me.

The album originally came out on Rising High, which was my favorite label at the time. And while a lot of early 90s stuff has been revived, this hasn’t. There simply aren’t that many albums this good that have remained largely unknown.

Why is this such an important release for you?

Ambient has perhaps the lowest bar to clear in all of music, and Lady Burning Sky stands out as a real record by a real multidimensional artist, something no one else could have made. As someone who chilled out super fucking hard throughout the 90s, I can say with full confidence that it is a true anomaly in the genre, as tangibly great a the best pop and dance music. It was made with a real record company budget, but is completely uncompromising and uncommercial. This album should not exist, but it does. And you should not be hearing it, yet you are. I once said that real art is a celebration of the impossible. That sounded great at the time, and now it rings truer than ever as you come to realize this secret flame has endured all along. A lifetime burning doing the neutron dance.

After meeting Krishna, Arnav continued on his path, his heart light and his steps confident. The bracelet Krishna had given him shimmered on his wrist in bright colors, reminding him that joy was always within — if only one paid attention to the present moment.


The path gradually led the boy higher and higher into the mountains, where the air grew cool and clear, and the green jungles gave way to majestic peaks, their summits lost in the clouds. Here the world felt different — solemn, silent, and profound.

At last, Arnav reached the foot of a tall mountain shrouded in thick mist. The mountain looked mysterious and grand, as though guarding something of great importance. Its summit vanished into the clouds, and the very air seemed filled with a deep sense of calm and mystery.

The boy began climbing slowly. The higher he ascended, the quieter everything became, and the more clearly he felt the ancient power of this place. After some time, he reached a small plateau near the mountaintop, where absolute stillness reigned.

There, among scattered stones and small flames burning steadily in a circle, sat a figure in deep meditation. It was Shiva — the great god, master of transformation, destroyer of illusions, and protector of those seeking true understanding. His skin was covered in sacred ash, his hair bound in a high topknot, and on his forehead shone the third eye — closed, yet seeming to see through the darkness of ages.

With reverence and awe, Arnav quietly approached and stopped, not daring to break the silence.

“Welcome, Arnav,” came Shiva’s deep, calm voice. His eyes opened slowly, their gaze piercing straight into the boy’s heart, as if reading every thought and feeling within him.

“I have come far,” Arnav said softly, “and I have learned the wisdom of Ganesha, the sensitivity of Saraswati, the courage of Hanuman, and the joy of Krishna. Yet I still do not understand the most important thing: who am I truly, and why do I walk this path?”

Shiva gazed at him with a gentle smile and made a beckoning gesture:

“Come closer and sit with me.”

Arnav obeyed and sat before Shiva, feeling the warmth of the surrounding flames.

“Do you see this fire?” Shiva asked, gesturing to the ring of burning flames.

“Yes, I see it,” the boy replied.

“These flames represent what you believe to be important — your fears and hopes, your memories and expectations. All that you think about yourself is but illusion, ashes that disappear when the winds of life blow strong enough.”

Shiva took a small amount of sacred ash from the fire and slowly scattered it before him.

“Tell me, Arnav — who are you now?”

“I…” the boy began, but then fell silent, unsure. Words came to his mind — “son,” “student,” “traveler” — but none of them seemed sufficient now. He suddenly realized that these words were merely labels, unable to capture who he truly was inside.

Shiva smiled once more and spoke gently:

“You are silent because you sense the truth: you are not your name, not your actions, not your thoughts. You are something greater — and at the same time, something simpler. You are the eternal spark of life itself, the very force that moves the universe. Everything else is but temporary masks and illusions.”

Shiva touched the boy’s forehead and carefully drew three lines of sacred ash upon it.

“This ash is a reminder that all things are transient and ever-changing. Do not cling to your illusions. Let them go — and you will gain the freedom to see the world as it truly is. In this lies your true strength and your real purpose.”

No Sane Man Would Go There

Orchestrating their return to Kompakt with the much- acclaimed new full-length MOONBUILDING 2703 AD (KOMPAKT 330 CD 124), iconic pioneers of electronic music THE ORB found fresh momentum in an enticing melange of psychedelic loops, deep textures and striving beats. The album saw the duo at the peak of its creativity, indulging in that distinct style of warped miniature epics they've perfected, ever oscillating between ruminant sampling and propulsive jamming. With MOONBUILDING 2703 AD REMIXES / SIN IN SPACE PT.1, we present three reworks willing to tackle the sonic thicket of the source material - and succesfully translating The Orb's unique brand of musical insanity into their own resourceful idioms.

WOLFGANG VOIGT's aptly named ANTIRETROAMBIENTPSYCHOLKAMIX is the first of two revamps from the Kompakt founder and veteran 4/4 anarchist - starting off innocuous enough with some gently colored ambient trickling, it then suddenly sidesteps into lush pop techno minimalism at its very best. Voigt's second take is a particularly bouncy one, rightfully billed as WASSERMANN PSYCHOSCHAFFELCLUSTERMIX and marking the renewed interest in his concept rave alter ego in the wake of leftfield banger EISEN MEIN HERZ on TOTAL 15 (KOMPAKT 340 CD 125). The trio of remixes gets rounded out by LA-based producer TEEBS - nurtured by Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder imprint, he has built his reputation on rich edit-style beat tapestry, brought to full fruition in his ingenious MOON GROTTO MIX.
