UK techno stalwart Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, readies ‘Motionless EP’ this February.

Following his acclaimed debut album ‘Tungsten’ on Kneaded Pains in 2021, London based DJ/producer Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, returns for 2022 with ‘Motionless EP’, further showcasing his knack for crafting high quality and emotionally charged techno.

Leading the release, the peak time ‘Motionless’ combines pounding kicks and evolving synths alongside rousing drums to kick off the EP in strident style, followed by ‘Schwer’, an intense and highly hypnotic track peppered with glistening pads and shuffling percussion. ‘Trench’ dives deeper, heading for dark and twisted spaces with winding leads, trippy FX, and reverberating drums, before ‘601 Electro’, a dreamy cut comprising classic drum kits, oscillating tones, and rumbling low end closes out the release.

Founded by Roberto in 2015, the Fossil Archive label has released music by artists such as Voiski, DJ Rolando, Sterac aka Steve Rachmad, Roman Lindau, Robert Owens, and many more, including Roberto himself. As a DJ, Roberto has played at the likes of fabric, Tresor, Berghain and more.

Fossil Archive ‘Motionless EP’ drops on 25th February via Fossil Archive.

Stephen Brown and Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, team up for ‘3D World EP’ this April.

Following his acclaimed debut album ‘Tungsten’ on Kneaded Pains in 2021, as well as the recent ‘Motionless EP’ in February 2022, London based DJ/producer Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, joins forces with Edinburgh’s Stephen Brown, an artist whose work has appeared on Subject Detroit, Djax-Up-Beats, Echocord Colour, and more throughout his illustrious career.

Leading the release, ‘Control C’ sees the duo effortlessly weave syncopated stabs, knocking percussion, and rattling hats together for a suitably trippy start to the EP. Title cut ‘3D World’ follows with dense, emotive pads intertwined into sleek, building arrangement, one for the early hours. ‘More House’ bring pounding kick drums under swathes of FX and flowing chords before the final track, ‘Travel’ brings the tempo down for a hypnotic journey built for eyes-closed moments on the dancefloor.

Founded by Roberto in 2015, the Fossil Archive label has released music by artists such as Voiski, DJ Rolando, Sterac aka Steve Rachmad, Roman Lindau, Robert Owens, and many more, including Roberto himself. As a DJ, Roberto has played at the likes of fabric, Tresor, Berghain and more

Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, readies the hard-hitting ‘Pattern Repeat EP’ this August.

Following his acclaimed debut album ‘Tungsten’ on Kneaded Pains in 2021, as well as the recent ‘3D World EP’ with Stephen Brown in April 2022, London based DJ/producer Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, returns to his label with ‘Pattern Repeat EP’, featuring four original techno tracks conveying his artistic range.

Title track ‘Pattern Repeat’ sees the UK-based producer teaming up with Kiara Scuro’s ZaaZaa, who delivers ethereal vocals across pounding kicks and squelching acid licks. ‘Bridgetown’ follows with hypnotic percussion and dubbed out FX hits for a deep tripper. ‘Follow the River’ brings pumping synths and rocking kits for a spaced-out club track before ‘Chimera’ sees Fossil Archive delivering an emotive, heads-down track custom-built for eyes closed moments on the dancefloor to close out the release.

Founded by Roberto in 2015, the Fossil Archive label has released music by artists such as Voiski, DJ Rolando, Sterac aka Steve Rachmad, Roman Lindau, Robert Owens, and many more, including Roberto himself. As a DJ, Roberto has played at the likes of fabric, Tresor, Berghain and more.

With a firm nod to the community, revered Techno aficionado, Roberto reveals the launch of his new record label, Fossil Archive and its first release ‘Prolecanites Gurleyi’.

Roberto has already built quite the discography with previous releases on Fachwerk, Affin, Artform and Be As One, as well as establishing himself as a DJ with gigs at the likes of fabric, Berghain and Tresor (listen to his latest Tresor set here https://soundcloud.com/robertodj/jaunt-podcast-ep86-roberto) and recently took time out from his busy schedule to talk to Marcus Barnes for The Independent’s blog http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2014/11/11/techno-artist-roberto-on-his-double-life/

Now, as we enter 2015, a new kind of Techno is starting to emerge as the soundtrack for a generation and Fossil Archive has found itself at the forefront of this celebration.

"I come from a background where most releases were traditionally cut at 45rpm, with one track per side on a 12-inch record", says Roberto.  "The music always sounded great, as it was mastered and cut to its highest potential.  Increasingly these days there seems to be a trend where a lot of labels are squeezing a number of tracks on to each side of a 12-inch record.  I want to go against that and make sure the music is presented in the purest way possible by cutting one track per side at 45rpm.  The label will release primarily vinyl, although digital versions will also be available to purchase.”

Stripped of that cheery outlook that can characterise a pop song, ‘Prolecanites Gurleyi’ replaces it with a life-affirming rhythm, driving home a groove designed for those with an acute interest to intonation and audibility.  The most observant will notice the subtleties and feel the tonal influence energise dance floors and hasten interest.

A definitive curation of deep, four on the floor with a clean cut approach to its percussive soundscape, each frequency is given the space and time needed to help advance an alive and kicking stimuli of Techno resonance.

Celebrating the sound of the moment, Fossil Archive reflects the true spirit of Techno, devoting its classic approach with a British accent.  This formal contribution to Techno is a much anticipated move, and already well received ahead of its first release.  Donning a party hat and Techno fist in the air, their first release has already gathered momentum with it doing damage at some of the worlds most revered Techno events.

This inaugural release will be available from 23rd February 2015.

For the second release on Roberto’s new Fossil Archive imprint, he teams up with Artform’s Jamie Anderson.

Technology is fine, but music production is a human thing. A social thing. Blurring those lines, ‘Billingsella Corrugata’ is an intensely catching, beatsmart roller coaster of nimble basslines and 4/4 muscle power.

This music is no flash in the pan – a much polished, low end, acid influenced track that does nothing and everything; emotionally invigorating. Warped out of your mind on high grade pharmaceuticals or not, ‘Billingsella’ is a hugely likeable track, way ahead of this years acid techno revival. A killer groove that could loop round and around all day and never get dull, Fossil Archive is already proving they have more hook than a fisherman’s box; the new bastions of techno.

Like Colin Mcrae on crystal meth, and hardly qualifying as easy listening, ‘Corrugata’ has plenty of grab, nurturing a deep, melody-fractured trip through machine-made music. With a pure dancefloor energy paired with a piercing with a hook, this latest collection of acid-plod techno production best sums up the label’s direction – you can’t fault it. Enriching its trademark, ‘Corrugata’ lords it up with anti-pop music plushness, preparing you for joyous leap, bound and bounce across the dancefloor as its bippy bop feel takes you over.

Come on, make your speakers pop.

“We’re big fans of Roberto here at Mixmag; his releases on a select few labels are of a consistently high quality” [Mixmag]

“Roberto is the antithesis of the old adage “style over substance”. His simple but undeniably effective approach to music has provided him a stable bedrock to release on acclaimed labels, play in the worlds most respected clubs and most recently launch his own outpost, making him certainly one to keep your eye on in 2015.” [DataTransmission.co.uk]

“Audiophiles rejoice! Techno aficionado Roberto is launching a new label that is putting sound quality into the forefront.” [BigShotMag.com]

“I am sure the label is going to continue to grow over the coming months. Roll on the next release Roberto!” [DecodedMagazine.com]

“Fossil Archive has a long and illustrious future ahead.” [Meoko.net]

“The product of many years of dedication to his craft, Rob is never one to let an audience get bored, exploring the many facets of techno and Electronica.” [Inn8.net]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Highly anticipated by both fans and music critics, Fossil Archive 003 is a blanket of techno adulation, full of sky-high feeling through its warm and expansive energy.

‘Perisphinctes’ which received a radio exclusive on B.Traits’ BBC Radio 1 show in August, marks itself as part of the vanguard of modern techno. Purposely incompatible with the masses, it clearly lends itself to the underground, pushing its charisma in the direction of the label’s earthy vociferation. With its driving montage, its monolithic kick and general depth, it holds its own in any given setting.

Evoking a weighty hospitality of sound, ‘Tiziani’ supplements bleak with feel-good synth exertion. Straying from the conventional framework of techno, this is a stripped back, atonal portrait of effectual techno culture. Without confusion, this unblemished and wholesome howl of voice brings with it a rich, affable buzz, perfectly suiting both the big room and more intimate homely surroundings.

For Roberto, this far-reaching release imposes on none and invites all to clinch its hauntological embrace, and with previous releases gathering support from the who’s who of Techno, it’s sure to do just that.

As 2016 rolls through, so does Fossil Archive with its 4th release since its highly acclaimed beginnings in February 2015. With Fossil Archive’s previous release featuring as “Tune of The Month” on Mixmag’s November 2015 Techno Page, this next two-part ensemble sees two very different tracks leave you with little doubt that Fossil Archive remains inspired to be at the forefront of all things techno.

Starting off on the A side, Voiski brings a highly energised, synth-led onslaught on the senses. Completely improvised and recorded during a live show in Paris, ‘Calyptraphorus’ is driven by a stern groove. This hi-hat wielding, key driven stream of consciousness brings an ‘80s accent of vigour to any dance floor. Irresistible and loud, this power track of electronic techno is unhinged and original.

Over on to the B side, Roberto completely changes the tonality to a more intense effect on ‘Velatus’, depicting the multitudinous of feelings moving mind, body and soul. A balance of cryptic melody shadowed by rolling percussion and sandscape soundscapes, this minimalist derived dub-fresh track subtly completes the EP.

All in all, two tracks that will intrigue suitably different crowds and leave everybody smiling. A rewarding release of full range techno; here’s to another great year of Fossil Archive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You're never paddling in the shallows with Voiski... the Frenchman always drags you towards the pool's murky depths, where a surprise is often lying in wait.” [Resident Advisor]

“We’re big fans of Roberto here at Mixmag... He’s an artist who maintains control over his profile, and has benefitted greatly from this thoughtful approach.” [Mixmag]

“One of the most promising new labels to emerge this year” [DJ Mag]

RELEASED: 10 OCT (VINYL)

B. ROBERTO – ‘TIZIANI’ (STERAC AKA STEVE RACHMAD REMIX)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since its inception in the Spring of 2015, Roberto’s Fossil Archive label has steadily built a high reputation.  Delivering quality over quantity the releases have consistently gained support from a who’s who of techno DJs, critical acclaim from the music press and a strong fan base.

Roberto himself continues to grow as both a producer to be reckoned with and a touring DJ, who can stir the crowds into a frenzy at clubs like Tresor, Berghain and fabric, so it’s no surprise that for the first set of remixes on the label he’s been able to turn to two bastions of the scene, Rolando and Sterac (aka Steve Rachmad).

Roberto’s ‘Perisphinctes Tiziani’ was only the third release on Fossil Archive but it was already clear that the label was destined for greatness, gathering Tune of the Month on Mixmag’s Techno page, radio plays on BBC Radio 1, Ben Sims’ Run It Red show, Dave Clarke’s White Noise show (amongst others), not to mention a host of DJ charts and club plays.

Taking one track apiece, Rolando turns his hand to the deep and hypnotic ‘Perisphinctes’ adding some tough funk that’s reminiscent of those hard, tracky Chicago grooves while maintaining a strong modern techno punch.  Meanwhile, Steve Rachmad brings his darker and deeper techno alias, Sterac to ‘Tiziani’.  The original version saw Roberto in a melodious mood with sweeping synth work and pulsating beats.  Sterac’s remix takes those elements and reworks them into a dappled and stimulating techno assault.

These two classy remixes from two of Techno’s finest make for a welcome addition to the Fossil Archive catalogue.

Both Roberto and his own Fossil Archive label continue to
go from strength to strength. Roberto has consistently
delivered at DJ bookings that have seen him return time
and again to the likes of Tresor and fabric, while the label
has fast become a favourite in DJ boxes and amongst
Techno heads.

The label closed 2016 on a high with its first set of
remixes from two Techno legends, Sterac and Rolando.
And now for the first release of 2017, Roberto is thrilled to
draft in the refined skills of Fachwerk's Roman Lindau.
Roberto has of course released on Fachwerk in the past
and been featured on the bill on more than one occasion
when the Berlin label have taken over Berghain, so
Roman is a fitting and very welcome addition to his UK
imprint.

Teaming up for 'Nerinea Trinodosa' on the A-side, Roman
and Roberto's production styles complement one another
perfectly on this solid peak-time offering, bringing a depth
and power that continues the Fossil Archive dedication to
raw and unfaltering beats.

Roberto then goes it alone for 'Triage' on the B-side, a
track which was already featured on Alan Fitzpatrick's
recent fabric mix CD. With its tough tribal sound and deep
bass, there's some serious funk in the groove, completing
another essential release from the Fossil Archive camp.

The seventh volume of Roberto’s Fossil Archive imprint, a UK label synonymous with quality over quantity is set for release this autumn.

As we move into the tail end of 2017 we look back on another busy year for Roberto and the label.  Key highlights have been playing alongside Regis and Kobosil at fabric in January, the Fossil Archive “Label Mates” feature on B.Trait’s BBC Radio 1 show in February, the release of FAUK006 in March; a collaborative effort alongside Fachwerk’s Roman Lindau, a host of DJ gigs through the summer with particular mentions for Roberto’s closing set on the Forest Stage after Boddika at One Tribe Festival in August and most recently his triumphant return to Tresor, Berlin just a couple of weeks ago.

Moving on, the new release features two more tight cuts from Roberto himself with the bass-rumbling, metallic ‘Pecten’ on the A-side and the directional, driving ‘Gibbus’ on the B-side.  Which also means that audiophiles will be pleased to hear that Roberto has put sound quality at the forefront once again, with one 45rpm track per side so the vinyl is cut to its highest potential.

For the eighth release on Roberto's Fossil Archive imprint, a very special collaboration which was produced by Roberto and the late Trevino (aka Marcus Intalex) shortly before his tragic passing in 2017 is poised. The release features three original cuts, along with a previously unreleased remix Roberto put together of 'Black Cat' which featured on Trevino's album 'Front'.

The music speaks for itself. However, to honour Marcus, a short poem has been put together by one of his closest friend's.

"Music is the great tree that stands alone, every second twisting and turning, straining and stretching, as each leaf and branch fights for the closest spot to the sun.

The artists are the leaves and to the untrained eye, so plentiful and all look the same. While delicate and vulnerable to the changing of seasons, or taste.

But astonishingly one solitary leaf falling to the ground can make shockwaves that can be felt on the other side of the world and have a legacy that will always be remembered.

Marcus taught us all to create music that way."

Words by DRS.

All profits from this release will go to the Marcus Intalex Music Foundation.

This is the second studio collaboration released on Fossil Archive between label owner Roberto and Artform’s Jamie Anderson. This time we have a four track EP compiled to take the listener on a sonic trip through an authentic all-night warehouse experience. 

On the A-side are two tracks which feature the vocal talents of the Chicago legend Robert Owens. ‘Broken’ and ‘Bare Essentials’ are exclusive ‘warehouse’ versions of songs the trio worked on at Jamie’s studio in Berlin for Robert Owens’ forthcoming album ‘Naked’. 

On the flip we have a raw acid track composed with a classic 303, 808 and 909 din-sync configuration running live through the mixing desk with a spring reverb for effects and a Joe Meek for compression. Finally ‘Bell Theory’ explores synthesised analogue sequences with a deep hypnotic provenance which serves up mind-food as the sun breaks through the rafters.

Born out of distaste for the current trend of excessively hard and fast techno, this collaboration between Berlin based Roman Lindau and Fossil Archive boss Roberto from London, seeks to bring the groove and soul back into Techno.

After back to back sets at the likes of fabric in London, Tresor in Berlin and Culture Box in Copenhagen, the connection between these two artists was firmly cemented. This lead to their first studio collaboration ‘Nerinea Trinodosa’ which appeared on Fossil Archive 006 in 2017. The studio process felt very natural, with each artist assuming different roles. Their latest effort ‘Path to Enchantment’ comes with 4 new fresh tracks designed to tell a story by both of these exciting artists on Fossil Archive.
