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.

The personality of a  rhythm box💚

Not a trend follower , I don't plan on being your favorite producer , some of my craft is made for my enjoyment.

Techno ,Techno ,Techno

Techno producer 🌈💣

Green Flesh
Craft Thee TECHNO

I don't really have a back story ,I've always had this thing for music and the process of crafting particular sounds .

It started out as just listening to different genres of music ,to being invested in all the sounds I was able to hear ,it was only in 2020 where I went to my first  rave (unaware of what music will be played)
I was instantly taken by how the crowd was reacting to the bangers being played and how the sounds were taking me on this trip , the clap on reverb being my absolute favorite might I add.

I then took it apon myself to research Techno music how and  where it all began ,it was from this moment I felI in love with the sound of the 90s the likes of Jeff Mills , Richie Hawtin , The Advent , Joey Beltram , Luke Slater and so many more are a major influence of my sound although you won't really hear it until you hear it:) the loopy yet never dull sound pushed me to start crafting my own unique style of a more agrressive loops with some 
tribal elements and your classic 909 percs and cymbals .

I honestly hope you'll dig my stuff :)

Roberto (real name: Rob Kirkaldy) is a London based Techno producer, DJ and Remixer. Considered to be one of the most exciting new UK Techno artists in recent years, he combines influences from Detroit and Amsterdam to create his own sound unique to the UK.

As a DJ, he brings a special energy to the dance floor that is the product of many years of dedication to the craft. Never one to let an audience get bored, his sets explore many angles of techno, which has seen him play at some of the most well respected clubs around the world, including fabric in London and both Tresor and Berghain in Berlin. His DJ skills have also made him a popular choice for podcasters, having been called upon to deliver mixes for esteemed shows like the CLR Podcast, Slam Radio and Electric Deluxe.

With an already impressive discography, Roberto has built his production credits with EPs on the likes of Rekids, Fachwerk, ARTS, Solar Phenomena and Obscura, as well as a host of remixes for artists like Jamie Anderson, Roberto Clementi, DJ Rolando and Shinedoe. His own tracks have been remixed by artists such as Steve Rachmad (Sterac), Mike Dehnert, Trevino and Peverelist.

At the beginning of 2015, Roberto launched his own Fossil Archive label. Predominantly a vinyl label (though releases are also available digitally), the ethos of the imprint is that it must not compromise on the sound.

As Roberto said in a recent interview with Data Transmission: “I love the fact that you can hold a piece of music in your hands. They are art pieces in their own right. Music is the product of many years of development; much like a fossil that can be buried deep underground for millions of years, until it is discovered. I wanted to ensure the music is of the highest quality, which means not rushing things.”

We’re also booking Fossil Archive label showcases!

Jamie Anderson initially made a name for himself in the mid-90’s UK Techno scene with releases on Rotation, NRK and his own Artform label to name a few. Taught by musicians whilst growing up in West London and trained in improvisation and keyboards whilst living in Bristol Jamie additionally developed into an avid record collector, studio engineer and DJ. Throughout the 2000’s Jamie delivered highly acclaimed productions on some of the world’s most respected labels including Rekids, International Deejay Gigolos, Cocoon, Outland, 100% Pure along with albums on NRK and Harthouse. Now based in the city of Berlin Jamie is currently honing his talents for releases on labels such as Flash, On Edge Society, Bedrock, Alleanza, Fossil Archive and Elevate.
