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.

Polygonia - Broken Temptation

This is a track which I produced in connection to a collaboration with Ableton and XLR8R for their common Editorial Feature Series.

I made a little excursion into the dubstep territorium and used only stock plugins and sample packs - all available within the mighty Ableton ecosystem.

Each track contributes to a larger narrative—one that reflects Aneelhi Rec’s forward-thinking identity while celebrating the fluidity of sound. Evocative, kinetic, and intricately textured, this release pushes the boundaries of techno, embodying the label’s vision in its purest form.

„Between Life and Death“ marks Vanta’s inaugural release with the label, exploring the nuanced contrasts of life’s emotional journeys. The album delves into Vanta‘s personal experiences with change, articulating the battle between melancholy and hope.

Through his debut, Vanta offers a profound odyssey, utilizing eclectic rhythms and immersive melodies to convey stories of endurance and overcoming. It‘s a powerful exploration of the spaces between joy and sorrow, rendered through a deeply personal musical lens. Each track meti- culously crafts a balance between introspection and the poignant beauty of moving forward, inviting listeners into a deeply personal yet relatable world. „Between Life and Death“ serves not only as an auditory experience but also as an emotional journey that resonates deeply with listeners, offering both solace and inspiration.

Dallas based producer Decoder (@iamdecoder) lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.

With 'Mica', Illinois-based artist @zvrra delivers a kaleidoscopic EP that pushes the boundaries of genre and form. Drawing from techno, breakbeat, ambient, and electronica, Zvrra weaves a sonic tapestry that is as intricate as it is imaginative.
Opening with ‚Butterfly‘, the listener is welcomed by a layered interplay of breakbeat rhythm and glistening synths which create a compelling contrast between motion and serenity. The top melody gently flutters, adding a soft emotional tone to the driving groove. The path continues through ‚Wooden Rain‘, where Organic percussion patterns tumble over each other like raindrops on dry wood. The tribal rhythms create a hypnotic momentum that feels both primal and futuristic. Melodies breeze through the third track ‚Prairie Scrub‘ which feel like gusts across a glowing plain. It’s playful and dynamic, evoking the wild beauty of a sun-drenched landscape. Closing with ‚Golden Beetle‘, Zvrra zooms in to a microcosmic world where they lead the listeners on an ambient exploration of chirping tones and looping rhythms, like observing little insects in the act of something strange and sacred.

There’s a space between life and death where memory, emotion, and rhythm blur into something unspoken, that’s where Vanta begins. “Between Life and Death”, his debut album on IO Records, draws from personal upheaval, pairing stark introspection with glimmers of defiance. The project navigates the tension between collapse and healing, with tracks like “Intrusive Thoughts” and “Void” oscillating between vulnerability and strength. It’s a record that doesn’t offer resolution, only presence, a sonic companion for those walking their own edge.

Opening with “Dissociative Drift”, Vanta wastes no time setting the emotional temperature. The track feels like falling into a dream you half-remember, bleepy percussion echoing like distant signals, submerged beneath fog-thick drones and viscous synth lines. It’s less a song than a state of mind, evoking the sensation of floating through murky water, unsure if you’re surfacing or sinking. A slow, syncopated pulse guides you, not forward, but inward.

“Between Life and Death” arrives on May 13 via IO Records. Pre-orders are live now on Bandcamp.
