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.

Fear Of Programming Remixes

Suffice To Predict (L.B. Dub Corp Remix)

Donato Basile AKA DJ Plant Texture always wants his music to tell a story, and with his debut EP on Tresor Records, entitled Life, he’s now trying to tell the biggest story there is.

According to the artist, “Life is about the fear of growing up”; both the anxiety itself and acknowledging and moving past it.

This narrative seems to have struck a chord with those who have heard the track, “People want to reflect themselves in the music; something personal. Lots of people have been in touch after hearing it; I guess they feel something melancholic in it. Personally, I imagine the track is like the life of a person; going from being born through childhood and youth and onwards, so perhaps they hear this?”

Having used an MPC since the early 2000s, Basile feels an intuitive connection to the hardware he uses, and so the creative process is very spontaneous: “I know where everything is so the music is made immediately.  I make everything in the first ten minutes; after that if it’s not right then I just abandon it and start something else.”

This immediacy, and familiarity with his equipment is apparent on the A-side, where Basile’s previous life as a drummer comes to the fore and tracks like Cycles and Ripetivo display his native understanding of groove but also how to stir things up - the three A-side tracks find classic techno rhythms seemingly falling apart only to snap back into place even stronger.

The B-side finds Donato exploring more of his melodic side with WTT and the aforementioned title track showing Plant Texture’s love of breakbeat and classic techno.

The three digital bonus tracks continue this exploration of melody and syncopated beats - The EXP Days echos the wistful feeling of Life, as Basile meditates on the times spent at EXP, his record shop in Bari, which functioned as a meeting place for electronic producers in the area. 

Together the eight tracks show a breadth of knowledge and ability of an artist that has grown older and more experienced over time, and is ready to share his evolution.

Ryan James Ford begins 2025 with his debut release on Blue Hour Music, "Tungsten Portals," a six-track Mini LP that reflects on the evolving tides of club music with his signature blend of techno, ambient, and breaks. Ford navigates through an artistic journey, weaving introspective, nostalgic, and optimistic themes to create a deeply personal and compelling record, forming an important addition to the Blue Hour Music catalog.

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/4117lDX

The first release under his new moniker, @phara-6's new four-tracker 'In Glass' is moving at a softer and more harmonic cadence. 

B-side track 'Glow' is an impactful, incandescent journey through scuttling percussion, deep synths and slow-building, textured rhythm. 

With subsequent Basilar and Berghain appearances - Phara will preform live under In Glass live at a select number of venues and festivals in 2025.

Erik Luebs - Bliss Means Leaving

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.

Surgeon - Divine Shadow

Pre-order: https://proxima9000.bandcamp.com/album/inner-call-ep

'Inner Call' marks the first collaborative release from @djmaria-jp and @audreydanza, a fusion of two singular voices shaping the contours of modern club music landing via @proxima9000.

Across three tracks, the EP drifts between hypnotic psychedelia and high-intensity techno, channeling their shared instinct for raw, emotive energy. The result is a collection that feels both immersive and urgent—built for the floor but rooted in deeper, introspective currents.

Premiere: DJ MARIA. & Audrey Danza 'Inner Call'

I am happy to announce the next release of mine on my label summerpup, called “Embers”. This release is two intimate tracks that showcase something different than my dancefloor oriented techno tracks. 

I originally made these just for myself as a means for reflection and catharsis, and as a form of journaling through writing music. However, after closing many sets with the track "Embers" last year and seeing how people connected with it deeply on dancefloors, wrote to me about it, and also found cathartic release or had a special moment to it, I decided that these should be shared with the public.

The second track, "As The Desert Exhales", is a solo guitar instrumental I wrote and recorded in Seattle in 2021 to mark a significant moment in my life. 

I hope you enjoy these tracks that are quite different but very personal to me, perhaps you can connect to them in a meaningful way like I have.
