After some time fostering the birth of Melbourne/Naarm’s Solace Bar & Club, circuit|breaker returns with the last offering in our initial run of three Various Artists releases: CBRK003. As always, our focus is razor sharp on cultivating connection, between our home and the global artistic domain. With our third release, we bring you five of the boldest talents, both emerging and established, that are sure to set the standard for forward-thinking electronic music. 
Tamara Radosevic, an artist with an ensuing legacy as one of Sydney’s most versatile DJs, opens up 003 with a brooding ambient number on ‘First Encounter’. For the A2, Berlin-based titan Metapattern collaborates with the local NOFCE on an exhilarating, barbed-wire-tinged track, as they present ‘Population III’. Taking the release interplanetary and to complete the A-side, BERGA commands intricate and weaving synth lines with ‘Idle’.
The B-side, as scheduled, moves onto two international behemoths. Casual Treatment goes into a mind-melting dimension, as ghostly samples pan left and right on ‘Power Plant’, while 1morning does what he does best, compressing the B2 into a gritty rage with ‘War Road’.

Dallas based producer Decoder (@iamdecoder) lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.

Decoder - Anutva (DSR-C24)

Throughout 2025, Tresor Records will reactivate Detroit house and techno originator Blake Baxter's vast Tresor catalogue digitally in chronological order, starting with 1992's Dream Sequence, closely followed by his 1995 album, Endless Reflection. 
To inaugurate and celebrate this retrospective of one the genre's true founders, an artist whose connections to Tresor go back to the very beginning, the label announces a special 12" release, Dream Sequence X, featuring remastered tracks from the early days and highlighting the harder side of his output.

Initially inspired by post-punk and funk, Baxter started making music as early as 1985. By 1991 he had already released several seminal records on classic labels like Underground Resistance, KMS, and Incognito, as well as providing multiple tracks to the groundbreaking UK compilation Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit, which was many European listeners' introduction to the genre, solidifying the term techno, and launching the international careers of many of the contributors.

1992 saw Baxter make the first trip to play Tresor, on the first UR Europe tour ever, thereby pioneering the now legendary Berlin-Detroit Connection. This visit led to a long and fruitful partnership with the club's new-fledged label beginning with Mills', Banks' & Hood's X-101 and Baxter's Dream Sequence, from which the first four tracks on the new 12" come.

Whilst he would become more renowned for his signature seductive vocals and a smoother music style closer to house music, these early tracks are heavier, classic 90s techno, revealing the influence of industrial, post-punk and pop of the time. 
Indeed the collection is something of a time capsule: jacking 909 drums, intense, ravey synth stabs, samples from classic soul breakbeat and the Speak & Spell voice synthesizer; classic sounds and styles of the era all make appearances on the record.
All tracks have been remastered by Manmade Mastering breathing a new vitality and sharpness for the modern dancefloor.

In a world where longevity is difficult and superlatives are too easily deployed, it is still difficult to overstate the long-lasting influence that Blake Baxter has had on modern music. His visionary output can be heard across modern electronic and pop to this day and with this series of remasters, there has never been a better time for the world to hear it at source.

A homemade one take re-creation of my set from MERGE, a collaborative free party on 6 Sept 2025 ran by some of Meanjin/Brisbane's leading techno collectives. For my 9:30-11pm set I wanted to bring the audience from a slower, more housey vibe, up towards the peak time driving techno that our DJs are known for.

Being a re-creation (not recorded on the night), this isn't exactly accurate, but I at least know the rough order I played my tracks in. I made a few extra mistakes live and I guess I also played a bit slower, because this has a few extra tracks on the end which I didn't get to play. As always, track list is below:

Untold - Motion the Dance 
Hironori Takahashi - Jazert 
Ø [Phase] - Perplexed
Adriana Lopez - Estrectura 
Developer - Formu 
Dachshund - Northern Steam
Magnus - Act One

On Board is proud to present its newest project, ’The Meaning of Time’ - a 23-track compilation exploring the rift and alteration in time perception global health crisis that’s crippled all sides of our societies has engaged amongst artists and creators. The dedicated goal of this charity V/A is both to document this very special time in our lives and serve as a means of solidarity when most of us out there are struggling to make a living. Content wise, and true to the essence of our vision as a label, the music mainly spans the techno and ambient spectrums, with original content. 50% of the benefits from the sales will go to the involved artists, whilst the remaining 50% will be donated to Sea-Watch - a German NGO that rescues migrants in the Mediterranean, notably by commissioning rescue ships.
