MISTRESS 17 - Z.I.P.P.O (Snippets)

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.

Casual Treatment - Ionized

Oyokai - Haptica LP

"Haptica" is a sonic exploration of perception through touch, where matter, light, and texture become stimuli that the body registers to shape space. Through a process of territorial research, natural sounds were captured in their original context, integrating them as part of this sensorial experience.

Oyokai - Haptica LP (Tremsix)

After a strong first release on Fuse Imprint with ‘The Wall’, resident Phara returns to his home base for a mirage of introspective tracks. Furthering his research of emotive club music, ‘Soft Glow, Fierce Light’ seems more than appropriately named. Shimmering melodies, swinging rhythms, and a comforting ambiance, Phara proves that his constantly evolving musical persona and relationship with the Brussels club are built to last.
 
Beginning with ‘Unfold’, the Belgium-native sets the board with a warm introduction. Reminiscent of his recent endeavor as In Glass, a balance is struck between the slower tempo techno of his secondary alias and the higher club energy that he’s been known to bring as Phara. Steady at first, filters open wide half way through the track to ensure maximum euphoria off or on the dance floor. ‘Flow’ follows in suit and here the producer keeps the level constant and tense with intricate melodic design. A steady groove with blossoming synth lines make ‘Flow’ a beauty to witness unravel. Warm chord stabs make for a nostalgic EP and shows once more that the seasoned producer frequently enjoys prioritizing emotion over drive. Flipping the vinyl to the other side, ‘Wave to Wave’ points a finger to all things dub, even a discrete appreciation of house music, through the harmony of his keys to the sound design of his square bass, and its common borders with techno. Juggling in snare rolls and rides throughout, Phara sets the tone with a soothing piece of work for lovers of the eyes-closed genre. To conclude, ’Solitude’ brings a polished vintage effect to the project that ‘Wave to Wave’ introduced, this time with heightened intensity worthy of a set closer. Punchy stabs make this a particularly extraverted track, fitting into almost any record bag - Room 01 or Motion Room friendly. Thundering claps over an electric melody, these kinds of tracks aren’t new to Phara. Pouring soul into his tracks, Phara proves once again to be a truly central artist in developing the Fuse sound and continuing his stylistic journey.

Belgium’s Peter Van Hoesen lands on Reclaim Your City for ‘Prime Directive’, Van Hoesen’s first solo release since 2023 and the successor to his 2024 album, ‘Towards the Center of Time and Surrounded by Spirits’.

Peter Van Hoesen’s ‘Prime Directive’ starts with ‘Definition by Absence’, a furnace-hot mix of abstract, hi-octane rhythm. The track begins a trip that takes us through undulating, fiery synthlines whose patterns coalesce and move in and out of synchronicity. ‘Variables Edit 1’ is next, whirling and swirling like a menacing swarm, its machine-like drums set against stellar winds.

On the B-side, the title track of Peter Van Hoesen’s ‘Prime Directive’ evokes pure dancefloor dystopia. It’s arrhythmic, dark, and teeming with monsters and molten clocks, culminating in a surreal track with metronome-like sound keeping pace. Closing ‘Prime Directive’, Van Hoesen’s innate feel for tweaky sounds over relentless drum-funk remains apparent in ‘Morphology’. Here, fearless robotic creatures communicate through unidentifiable signals and enthral the listener. With ‘Prime Directive’ on the Dutch Reclaim Your City, Van Hoesen continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Techno through cutting-edge experimentalism.

Time To Express and Center 91 label boss Peter Van Hoesen's take on visceral techno has found a home on labels like Tresor, Editions Mego, Archives Intérieures, Konstrukt and Stroboscopic Artefact. The Belgian artist, now based out of Vietnam, operates exclusively as a live act and is also known for his collaborations with AtomTM as SYNC and as Sendai with Yves De Mey.

*This new four-track epic from Peter van Hoesen comes draped in a fine piece of artwork courtesy of Atact and pressed according to our standards in 180g audiophile quality, so you get to experience the Belgian master's chiselled sound design in all its glory.

BCCO Premiere: Peter Van Hoesen - Variables Edit 1 [RYCL023]

"In this dark hour, when shadows grow long across the face of our mortal world, I speak of a truth most terrible and profound. The Great Serpent of our time lies coiled in slumber, hearing not the cries of people.

Behold! The Year of the Snake unfolds not with wisdom but with silence. While chaos reigns in every corner of our existence, the Serpent sleeps on, unmoved by our suffering.

Listen, dear soul, to these words I offer as candles in the darkness: Within the chambers of your heart beats a rhythm unique to you alone. This rhythm, this voice that whispers in the silence of your thoughts, is your true salvation. Hear it & hold it dear! For those who find this inner voice shall weather the coming storm.

The masses wander blind, following shadows and echoes, not knowing their own minds. Yet I tell you this truth – those who awaken to their authentic nature shall find strength when others falter, peace when others tremble.

In these strange days when machines mimic the works of man, only those who love their craft with passionate devotion shall remain. The soul that burns with purpose cannot be replaced by cold mechanism.

The path forward lies not in the multitude, but in the singular truth of your being.
Heed this warning, this promise, this revelation.

The Serpent sleeps, but we must wake." -Hopdop, The Serpent Sleeps
