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.

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.

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.
