Press release info by George Andrews

There isn’t many who would disagree with the underlying sentiment that electronic music makes us feel something extraordinary. Much in the same way, the possibilities for creative discourse and cosmic interactivity are accessible to anyone with an open mind. It’s in this place where these possibilities materialise, and it’s in this space where SYNCROPHONE 39 operates within.

You see, you won’t find cleverly constructed adjectives or nonsensical descriptors for the music presented here. It doesn’t need them. The music speaks for itself, much in the same way the artists do. Stojche has been carving out timeless techno for two decades now, working tirelessly without fanfare to enrich a scene that sits close to his heart. Whether that be through releases on his own imprint TANGIBLE ASSETS or the ever expanding a.r.t.less, his trademark sound signature is synonymous with the soul of Detroit. You may be hard pressed to find anyone else who’s been as consistent with this sound over the years as he has. On the other hand, Gerard Hanson aka Convextion has been doing exactly that without fault his entire career. So the combination of these two artists on this release makes perfect sense.

Syncro39 is a celebration of core values in music. Of devotion to a singular obsession crafted over the course of decades devoid of trends or cheap influences, social or otherwise. It’s that unwillingness to compromise and to put everything on the line in the pursuit of the dreaming process that makes this a special release.

One thing is for certain. Those who are inspired by Stojche’s signature original and the timeless journey of Convextion’s remix, will carry themselves through the smoke and haze into the sunlight as it takes some time for the rush to subside. That’s probably an apt abstract for this release thus far. For the most part though, the narrative for Stojche has only just begun.

From the very beginning in 2011, Tangible Assets imprint has been reluctant to exclude the musical essence of underground Techno culture as we know it.With the 8th instalment on the label, Stojche continues to harm the dancefloor by showcasing 4 distinctive, podium-focused Techno jackers. ASSET008 demonstrates powerful Tech funk character and the overall dynamics of the record lays in an up-tempo stomping ground. The protagonist behind Tangible Assets is very familiar with this territory. Tangible Assets drama continues. Feel the force!!!

DVS1 returns to his imprint HUSH with his unique sonic palette of beats and rhythms. 

Following a 2020 long-player debut, "Beta Sensory Motor Rhythm" on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, HUSH 06 features DVS1's trademark sound with his interplay of elements rising and falling, fluid percussions seamlessly weaving in and out of the arrangements, highlighting an ever-shifting emphasis that draws its energy from minimalistic features. 

HUSH 06 delivers stripped-down and slow-building tracks with remarkable clarity, easily imagined to be played on massive sound systems.

A2. Unravel (Snippet)

At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user? 

By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general.

With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP's title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings. 

One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence.

The second has a much more positive view, one where the "alliance" is between the artist and machine to create the music, a process she places immense value on, being both cathartic and therapeutic, whilst also being a vehicle of addition and expansion:


"I feel that it's a collaboration&hellip;the machines are precise in their timing and I add the human touch (literally) in the live performance which adds natural imperfections, so we both provide something the other can't. There's also an element of growth; the machines get updates and so are always expanding in terms of their musical capabilities. And the more I push my own technical abilities I feel we are growing together in a constant synchronised dance."

This "dance" results in four tracks (plus three digital-only bonuses) of classic machine funk which combine the aforementioned ideas in sci-fi with a deep lifelong affection for techno. Tracks like Ode to the D, and Technopoly Dream display this love through her choice of sounds and structure, both intentional and subconscious, while Replicants, and Human in the Loop project into other genres to fully round this release off as a contemporary example of music rooted in both past and future.

I'm Not From Here

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.

Abstract Notes

Abstract Notes (Colors)

"In this dark hour, when shadows grow long across the face of our mortal world, I speak of a truth most terrible and profound. The Great Serpent of our time lies coiled in slumber, hearing not the cries of people.

Behold! The Year of the Snake unfolds not with wisdom but with silence. While chaos reigns in every corner of our existence, the Serpent sleeps on, unmoved by our suffering.

Listen, dear soul, to these words I offer as candles in the darkness: Within the chambers of your heart beats a rhythm unique to you alone. This rhythm, this voice that whispers in the silence of your thoughts, is your true salvation. Hear it & hold it dear! For those who find this inner voice shall weather the coming storm.

The masses wander blind, following shadows and echoes, not knowing their own minds. Yet I tell you this truth – those who awaken to their authentic nature shall find strength when others falter, peace when others tremble.

In these strange days when machines mimic the works of man, only those who love their craft with passionate devotion shall remain. The soul that burns with purpose cannot be replaced by cold mechanism.

The path forward lies not in the multitude, but in the singular truth of your being.
Heed this warning, this promise, this revelation.

The Serpent sleeps, but we must wake." -Hopdop, The Serpent Sleeps
