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.

Fossil Archive 013 - Fossil Archive - Pattern Repeat Ep

After appearing on our sister label Truesoul and also the A-sides Volume 2, dubspeeka releases his first full EP on Drumcode. Basing his sound heavily on his uniquely dark and twisted melodies, dubspeeka has created a brooding, atmospheric EP that capture each individual feeling on the techno scale from bouncing, energetic tracks to melancholic offerings. His use of Percussive sounds add energy to tracks such as Primary K290 and his array of eloquent lead lines add depth and character that can be heard on Primary K293.

We here at Second State are thrilled to bring you our new concept entitled HUB. While most labels these days are doing various artists releases to showcase the overall talent on their label, we thought it would be better suited for both our listeners and ourselves to break the mold and bring you a series of true collaborations. Each HUB release will feature a single artist teaming up with others from the Second State family to create an EP of authentic musical compromises. A place where multiple minds find a harmony somewhere outside their own identity and each collaboration conceives a genuinely unique artifact. With this, there is no one we would rather have kick off the series than the man behind the massive EPs; 'Throwl' and 'Doch', Stephan Hinz with HUB One!

Of course it would only be right to kick off the first track of the first HUB One way. An alliance with, Pan-Pot. "Tension' is a heavy number with just a few key elements, it's a slow lurking journey through a dark forest at night. As each bush and branch is pushed aside and every step inches closer to a destination unknown, the pressure builds. Soon, without knowing, you are in the depths of a jungle with no way back and only one decision. Keep going.

Stephan Hinz & Pan-Pot - Tension

Longtime Berghain resident, Figure Music founder and Berlin techno stalwart Len Faki is known both for his discerning, impeccable taste, so when we heard that he had agreed to remix French artist DNGLS for the enigmatic Anemone Music label, we were understandably enthused.

What Len ended up turning in, however, was much more than simply a remix, but, as the label calls it a “whole new realm of possibilities” – three different versions of DNGLS‘ “Hooly” – and we’ve got an exclusive listen below.

“When I heard the track first time, I instantly loved this special melody a lot,” Len tells us. “It was a pleasure to work on it, also because it is a little different than my other productions and a great experience to work in this direction. In the end, this is how the three different versions were formed, mirroring three different club moments. The first one is more like an energetic moment on the floor, while the ‘Tool’ is clubbier, more subtle, focused on the late night club moments. The ‘Beatless’ version is to listen to outside the club, or starting/ending the night.”

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]

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.
