33 hours of Ambient

The Rotterdam-based label and agency On Board Music proudly marks its 10-year anniversary with a carefully curated compilation of likeminded artists. This milestone release showcases those who have shaped the label's sound and identity, while also setting the tone for the years to come. On Board 10 features nine tracks on vinyl, complemented by five exclusive digital bonus tracks.

The collection traverses a diverse spectrum: from the immersive depths of Altinbas' atmospheric journey Submersion to the intricate, rhythmic craftsmanship of Polygonia's drum-workout Broken Temptation, and from GiGi FM's ethereal dub-techno exploration Maova and Dorisburg's percussive, Nordic-techno gem Sensorik. The release blends introspective meditativeness with dancefloor-ready energy - a balance between home listening and club environments. It's atmospheric, trippy, dubby, broken, ambient, techno - all the sounds that define the essence On Board Music.

GiGi FM - Maova

Celebrating the Lunar New Year with ‘Lì xì’, the first track to be shared from JakoJako’s brand new album, Tết 41 - out 25th April.

This record is, in many ways, a distillation of ideas JakoJako has been exploring for years. Tapping into a deep understanding of machine-based music and illuminated by references to her heritage, Tết 41 reflects on notions of rebirth, and the pursuit of a sonic core. From this simplicity emerge some of her most expansive, unworldly compositions to date. 

“I wanted to collect the atmospheres of Vietnam, and strip it back to my language - electronic music. I don’t have huge ties to the traditions of my Vietnamese family, so being able to experience them with my mother, and then bring the Lunar Celebration - the colourful flowers, food and customs - back to Europe through music has helped me realise how important this side of my heritage is.” - JakoJako (aka Sibel Koçer)

Available on vinyl in a limited run of just 500 copies worldwide, pre-order now!

Mezigue_Intro

.VRIL’s first EP for Kynant Records explores his trademark style of euphoric dub techno, whilst also diving deeper with spoken-word pieces in collaboration with two critical thinkers in the world of soundsystem culture and experimental music: Edward George and Isis Semaj-Hall AKA Riddim Writer. Acclaimed Dutch techno artist Steve Rachmad also dons his Parallel 9 alias for a remix.

A1 VRIL - Crystal Cell Energy

B2 VRIL - Bruch Im Nullpunkt (Parallel 9 Remix by Steve Rachmad)

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

A1. Markus Suckut - Patience
A2. Markus Suckut - Resurrection
B1. Markus Suckut - Myth
B2. Markus Suckut - Moments

A highly respected figure for dancers and artists alike, Markus Suckut offers his signature built-to-last sound to Fuse with ‘Moments’. In this style, confidence is key and Suckut provides soul to club music in a way few have been able to. Simple yet ever so refined, the German artist furthers his sound with the Belgian label with rolling tracks that reach beyond the dancefloor yet again. ‘Moments’ is just that, a collection of instances spent inside the mind or outwards into the world in order to move and connect. 

The A1 remains usually the first impression of every record, so it makes sense that ‘Patience’ would mark the beginning of this eight release for the Brussels’ club. A bubbly yet impactful track, ‘Patience’ rolls through six minutes in no time with eccentric percussion and a viscous low-end. Unafraid to break the codes in order to push his sound forward while respecting the essence of what makes the genre great, Suckut puts years of mastery at work in order to find balance and air between his elements. This impressive low-end rhythm is continued into ‘Resurrection’ - which is more of an exploration of dissonance and texture than its predecessor. With hi-hats whipping around the stereo field through metallic bends and a harmonic kick/bass, the record knows for what context ‘Resurrection’ is reserved for. ‘Myth’ then comes along to lighten the load with a positive groove and an extraverted arrangement, maintaining balance to the overall EP. Complete with a subtly modulating live-played percussion that echoes the character of a vocal and layered over an almost vintage drum sequence, the persistence of ‘Myth’ finds a sweet spot between techno and house, making it a versatile tool in almost any record bag. The soul of the EP, however, belongs to its title track ‘Moments’. Appropriately named, this fourth piece concludes Markus Suckut’s latest statement for the dancefloor. A suspension of time in structure as much as in melody, the producer takes the time to unveil each element of the record while maintaining a burning intriguing throughout. A truly timeless piece reserved for only the most special moments and most deserving crowds, Suckut proves once again that his understanding of emotion through his medium will echo his music across the world for years to come.

Hyperlink surfaces again with Global Tides, a compilation born from trust, instinct, and the sheer joy of making something together.

…What happens if we stop trying to make sense, and start trying to make contact? …What if a compilation was a séance? What if we told you Global Tides started as a ripple in the fabric? A strange invitation passed between frequencies, across borders, through the fog of daily mess? 
Built on friendship, instincts, laptops, and late nights, this one’s about opening doors and seeing what rushes in. Global Tides is a love letter to collaboration. To letting go of the map and building something you couldn’t draw in advance (even if your collaborator’s on the other side of the world). A shaky bridge built between cities, timezones, feelings. Each track is a little rift, a meeting point where two (or more) worlds rub against each other until something spills out. Sometimes it’s raw, sometimes it’s cinematic, sometimes it’s a noise that wasn’t supposed to be there, but we kept it anyway, because it felt like a truth. At the end, all of it feels real. 

This is a drift. A gathering of scattered thoughts and tangled dreams, shaped into music by people who trusted the process. There were no rules. Just collisions and alignments. No plan. Just a low, shared hum: let’s try. Some tracks dissolve, others erupt. One of them might haunt you.

The proceeds on Bandcamp go back into this machine made of glue and guts : mastering, artwork, promo... Hyperlink’s still powered more by feelings than funding :’)

We didn’t expect to end up here…. But we did ! Together.

s1obhan & D413 - New Atlantic

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

And Then, More
