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.

Kicking off our first show as resident on Refuge Worldwide with our member Blazej Malinowski.

On Board Music w/ Blazej Malinowski @Refuge Worldwide - 26/01/2023

Argentinian but Barcelona-based, nueen has been crafting some very particular sound drifts through a luminescent and recurring warm atmosphere, endlessly fluidic and delicate pads, recombining rhythms where multiple temporalities are juxtaposed. 
Over the years, he has developed a highly personal style –profoundly intimate yet immediately giving onto distant space-times. His dub-ambient embroiled sound has been released on labels such as Good Morning Tapes, Quiet Time, Balmat and APPX. 
His mix released today as part of our series is a very good example of his versatility mixing tons & very different paths all together. Completely fan of this epizode!  Merci Nacho x

Opening with the ASMR ambience of Jin’s “Spring,” the next Various Artists mini compilation on On Board Music dives deep into a colourful and rhythmically unpredictable collection. There’s left-field club gear from the inimitable Polygonia, a dubby roller from Nicole and glitchy, downtempo electronics from Mown. Completing the EP is alow-slung house cut from Ukrainian duo Na Nich & Vera Logdanidi and an eerie drone piece from label founder 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.

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.

Freshly minted from the ever consistent force de majeure that is On Board Music, we have Jin Synth’s Enigmatica EP. The London based producer explores the inbetweens of ambient and deep techno, with each track in the release offering a nuanced and mature interpretation of the various shades and moods that inhabit the space.

Regretful Crossroads wraps an auditory hug around the listener, bringing warm melodies and delightfully natural percussion to bear as the song unfolds.
