In 2005, Bohrbug—an experimental electronics underground artist known for his obscure and boundary-pushing soundscapes and beats—was challenged by friends to step out of his comfort zone. They urged him to create a “classy Techno EP,” yearning for a taste of the refined, structured beats that defined the genre’s elite. Reluctant but intrigued, Bohrbug embarked on this new venture, channeling his experimental spirit into a project that would later become a defining yet overlooked gem in his discography.

The result was an EP released with little fanfare on the obscure label "Stekker", shrouded in silence and absent of any promotional push. It vanished into the ether, unheralded and forgotten—until, after over a decade of dormancy, it resurfaced. DJs and music enthusiasts within the realm of classy, refined Techno began to take notice, championing tracks that had lain dormant for years. This once-ignored project was reborn as a hidden gem, its unique blend of experimental electronics and Techno precision resonating with those who sought something both familiar and forward-thinking.

Now, for the first time digitally remastered by the composer himself, Dago Sondervan, this track is reborn anew. The process has preserved the original essence while breathing fresh life into its sonic fabric, ensuring that Bohrbug’s vision endures for future generations to discover. This is not just a remaster; it’s a testament to the power of patience and the enduring allure of music that defies categories, transcending time itself.

Two IDM icons, Roel Funcken and exm come together on Science Cult for an LP that is nothing short of alchemy. Flyphel feels like a living, breathing entity — an intricate fusion of sound that shifts between the mechanical and the organic. Each track unfolds like a story told in textures and tones, with Funcken’s razor-sharp precision meeting exm’s ethereal abstractions. You're not just invite you to listen, you're pulled into its world, where every detail reveals something new on repeat visits. This stunning release arrives as a 2x12" LP encased in a beautifully printed outer jacket with matching inner sleeves featuring paintings by Roel Funcken, making this as much a visual statement as an auditory one. With their combined expertise in sound design and their shared commitment to pushing boundaries, Roel Funcken and exm have created something that feels both timeless and ahead of its time.
