Refuge Worldwide - Residency

On its fifth Various Artists EP, On Board Music welcomes the prolific, techno-meets-drum & bass artist ASC for a weighty, stepping collaboration with Semblance. Nuversion contributes a groovy dub-influenced cut that will slide easily into both techno and house sets. On the B-side, the inimitable Polygonia displays her delicate, melodic touch with the sublime "Veluo," before Morphing Territories closes out the record with a pitch-black modular techno roller. All together, Point E is a well-rounded record which does justice to the range and quality of sounds that On Board has been pushing since 2015.

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.

The 2x12" vinyl compilation brings together Altinbas, Dorisburg, Efdemin, GiGi FM, Luigi Tozzi, Massimiliano Pagliara, Polygonia, Psyk, and Steffi. The release also includes a download card with five additional digital tracks by Ina Kacz, Jin Synth, Justine Perry, Paula Koski, and On Board Music label head Laura BCR.

In the latest installment of their VA Point series, On Board Music looks to a plethora of talented artists such as ASC, Polygonia, Morphing Territories, and our focus for today, Nuversion. Not a stranger to us at Delayed, as we’ve highlighted him before with a stellar Delayed with… mix. Nuversion, formerly Juliano, has delivered a dubbed out energetic number titled, Impression.

As Impression unfolds,  the bassline takes center stage, a deep and groovy force that pulses through the track, creating a solid foundation for the entirety. Delicate echoes and reverberations dance around the edges of the mix, adding a sense of space and intrigue as off kilter synths bounce to and fro.

Impression, and the rest of the Point E release will be out into the world on the 25th of August.

On Board Music w/ Claudio PRC @ Refuge Worldwide - 19/09/2023

We are starting 2024, with Our Recordings, a new mixes series curated by On Board Music, inviting our friends, affiliate artists and latest discoveries on the dancefloor. For this very first episode, we are hosting a recording from Barcelona-based and On Board affiliate producer, Mostra resident DJ, ABSIS. 
His DJ Sets are pure master classes, with a very flawless way of mixing records, impeccable transitions and selections!
This session was recorded at Human in Barcelona last September for our 9 years anniversary, ABSIS was opening the night, slowly building the perfect ton right before Polygonia live set.

For the second installment of our recording series, we welcome Dutch artist Luna Ludmila. Through this beautiful build up, Luna created a sonic journey starting very dreamy and hypnotic, and slowly going towards a melancholic direction. This showcases her downtempo work, she has been crafting in the past months using mainly Ableton & gears such as the Novation Supernova and Strymon Nightsky.

On Board Music returns for its sixth installment of the Various Artists EP series, but this time with a different approach. Five fresh remixes breathe new life into Point C, originally released in 2021 and consisting of tracks from Foreign Material, Hironori Takahashi, Hiver, Sylve and Alan Backdrop.

For the 2024 update, On Board enlists five of the finest deep techno practitioners to twist the originals into bold new forms. US artist Patrick Russell dives deep into his signature, tripped-out zone, with dub and half-time sensibilities grounding the remix in an eyes-down headspace. Estrato Aurora, who remixes Hiver’s cut, goes equally subterranean, perfectly setting up the nimble drumming and bright melodies of Polygonia’s contribution.

On the B-side, Forest On Stasys melts the synths of Alan Backdrop’s “Oelo” into an ever-evolving slice of dance floor psychedelia, before Detroit luminary Erika focuses on a syncopated, shuffling rhythm. Together, the five tracks cover extensive ground, all bound by the uniquely hypnotic sound that On Board is well known for.

[OB.M012] Point C - Remixes

Only a handful of producers can stay true to a genre while dodging mediocrity and clichés. One such producer is Jaime Romero, aka Estrato Aurora, a Valencia native who's been our favorite for years. His productions are warped, edgy, and perennially inventive, inspiring countless producers to follow his unique path – a true trendsetter.

Today, Estrato Aurora takes the wheel and revisits Hiver's track "Time Lapse" from On Board Music's Point C compilation (released three years ago). The Valencian maestro dismantles the original's heady, trippy, low-slung rumble, crafting a hypnotic halftime odyssey. A warm, melancholic analog synth melody cuts through the murky groove, persistently driving the entire track forward.

Balancing these contrasting elements within a single track is a challenge, and crafting something so recognizable that it works across various DJ sets and settings is even more impressive. But Jaime pulls it off effortlessly, keeping things fresh and engaging.

Estrato Aurora's remix joins Erika, Polygonia, Patrick Russell, and Forest On Stasys, on what promises to be a stellar release from the consistently impressive On Board Music. Point C - Remixes drops April 26th.

London-based sound artist and DJ Jin Synth returns with a captivating new EP on On Board Music, featuring six tracks that pushes the boundaries of experimental, deep, and hypnotic techno. Among these immersive compositions, a standout collaboration with Giuseppe Tillieci aka Neel further enhances the EP's rich, textured soundscapes. Jin Synth's latest work showcases her signature blend of diverse ambient elements and innovative, hypnotic layers.

Titled "Enigmatica," the EP delves into a percussive and ambient realm, exuding a sense of mystery and the untamed spirit of the jungle. Each track intricately weaves together complex rhythms and atmospheric textures, inviting listeners into a world where every beat and resonance reveals a new layer of intrigue. Jin Synth's mastery in blending percussive intensity with ambient subtleties makes "Enigmatica" a unique auditory adventure.

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.
