We’re incredibly proud to announce the details of the first release on our label - an 8-track debut album from our resident Adam Pits. Inspired by nature and written during the first lockdown, the album shows off Adam’s classical cello background as well as a broad range of electronic styles you’ll already be familiar with. In his own words:

“2020 became a year of turning misfortunes into new opportunities. The feelings of clubbing neglect and social deprivation were prominent and as a result I found myself locked away in the studio with nothing better to do than to write the music that I wished I was hearing on a large sound system in a room full of sweaty rave-goers. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by friends who were able to drag me out of the studio and get outside for some real TLC from nature. After copious amounts of elderflower picking and mushroom foraging I found myself at peace with the idea that maybe the studio wasn't my only safe place. This ended up being the catalyst for many of the ideas in the album, and in turn, helped me realise the similarities between the beauty of repetition in both music and nature. 
A Recurring Nature has come out as a genuine representation of where I’m at in my musical journey. Whilst seeking to express the aspects of music that most resonated with me, I wanted to also test myself against the elements where I felt least comfortable.”

The LP will come in both digital and 2x12” vinyl formats, with the latter featuring full art from Patch and mastering from the renowned Analogcut studio. Pressed at Record Industry and distributed by One Eye Witness. Out 16th July.

Pre order via our Bandcamp & your local record shop https://onrotation.bandcamp.com/album/a-recurring-nature

We’ve poured a huge amount of time into making this the best it can be, we’re very happy with the results and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

We’ll see you on the next one! 

Special Thanks to: Rosie & Chris, Francis, Colino, Rapture Network, Skins, Chinggis & all the Leeds Crew.

We are proud to present the 2nd release on our label by our good friend Solar Suite, with a remix from fellow Aussie and Step Ball Chain label head Roza Terenzi. We've been friends for a while now and love what he's been doing so getting him on the label was a natural progression for us.

“This EP was written throughout Melbourne's 2020 lockdown, what seems like an eternity ago...In hindsight, it provided me with the perfect opportunity to grow and learn as a producer. Finding the motivation and drive to write and finish these tracks was a definite challenge, but overall something I am very proud of and ecstatic to have the opportunity to be working with Adam, Marlon, Chris and Katie to bring this to life.” - Solar Suite

As usual we will be releasing in both vinyl and digital formats, with the vinyl featuring another full sleeve of art from the amazing Bristol based Patch D Keyes with worldwide distribution being handled by One Eye Witness.

Following the success of their first release, Leeds-based label On Rotation returns with a 4-track EP from Australian producer Solar Suite. Expanding on the contemporary style of his debut release on Echocentric Records, the Slingshot EP shows off his ability to inject groove and a sense of fun into a trippy, compelling framework. 

Joining him on the remix is fellow Aussie and Step Ball Chain label head Roza Terenzi, twisting the title track into a dark and brooding peak time stomper.

The next mix in our series comes from one of our favourite under-the-radar selectors in the UK, @joesansom. We first became aware of Joe after he wowed us with amazing sets at Cosmic Roots and Wire, as well as from the gems he regularly uploads to his Youtube channel.

This mix shows the scope and depth of his taste, exemplifying everything we love at On Ro - forward thinking but rooted in the past, showcasing long-forgotten tracks alongside the newest releases without anything sounding out of place.

With a taste and maturity in sound far beyond his years and a real ear for psychedelic groovy sounds, Joe is definitely one to keep an eye on!

On May 20th On Rotation returns for their first VA release - Genetic Memories Vol. 1. 🧠

Anderson opens the release with the mystical  ‘Polymorphic Magic’ - a low-slung builder combining deep synths with sampled instrumentation. 

“I’m a huge fan of self resonating / overtone instruments so using the Fujara was a no brainer. A naturally psychedelic sounding instrument, I wanted to accompany the flutey pipe with a deeper and low-mid tempo chug.” - Anderson

Next up is Musty Head Records main man Jamie Leather - combining the tight drums and skilful melodic work of his previous releases with all the influences we love, ‘Discovery’ is sure to get any party going.

Leading the B-Side of the record is Ed Hodge's ‘Atreides’ - a tough yet playful banger drawing influences from across the spectrum of UK music. Gun fingers guaranteed! 

“It’s probably the fastest, rowdiest track I’ve made under the Ed Hodge moniker and pulls influences from house, trance and speed garage.” - Ed

Closing the release, we speed things up and travel deep into the past with Phazma's ‘Arrakeen’. Featuring ethereal synths, driving rhythms and beefy low end, this floaty number works just as well at home as in the club - a perfect way to round off the EP! 

“After some help from my musical peers and some heavy inspiration from the release of the new Dune movie, I managed to come up with something that I’m pretty stoked with!.” - Phazma

On Rotation is a Leeds based event & mix series turned label with their debut release (Adam Pits' album 'A Recurring Nature') being one of last year’s highlights and a frequent sight on end of year lists. This was followed by ‘Slingshot’, an intergalactic voyage from Solar Suite with Roza Terenzi on the remix.

Our next mix comes from another one of our Bristol pals, Joe aka @Remotif.

We were absolutely blown away by his set at space lab a few months ago before our residents Space Cadets and instantly knew we had to get him on the mix series. Not only a fantastic DJ in his own right, Joe is a seriously skilled producer with a string of great releases to his name.

In this mix he expertly moves between breaks, techno, trance and more - enjoy!

Rotation 033: Remotif

Our next mix comes from someone we've been dying to have on here - one of our absolute favourite producers and DJs @caim-records ! 

As one of the mainstays in the Amsterdam scene, Mark has been putting out some incredibly classy records on his own imprint, drawing inspiration from deep house, electro, techno and the incredible talent pool of his peers such as Eversines, RDS and Human Space Machine. 

As well as his productions, he is an incredibly deep digger with the skills to match, flawlessly weaving together gems from across the musical spectrum of the last 20 years. As you know, this is exactly what we like here at On Ro so we're more than happy to present this fantastic mix from a true DJ's DJ.

Rotation 034: Caim

It's been a while since our last entry in the mix series, but we're back with a bang with this one from Berlin's DJ TEETH 💥

As head honcho of the Hypersoft party series, Santi has been responsible for bringing some of our favourite artists such as Bliss Inc, Jane Fitz, Carl H and Solar Suite together under one roof for his legendary extended monthly parties.

Not only that, his bouncy, dynamic sets have been making waves thanks to his innate sense of fun and deep collection. It's a pleasure to present this all-vinyl mix from him bridging the gap between a diverse smorgasbord of different psychedelic sounds. Thanks Santi!

Adam Pits is back with his second album on Leeds based On Rotation ‘Synthetic Serenity’ represents the next evolutionary step of Adam’s sound design and direction. In stark contrast to his first album, ‘A Recurring Nature’, this new release moves out of the forest and into the digital landscape, capturing the sound of a future world over 8 varied tracks. 

Adam Pits talks about the inspiration behind the new album:

“It’s hard to put into words how much of an impact 2022 had on my life. I could talk for hours about the highs and lows, the journeys, both inside and out of my body. Or I could just make an album. 

Having delved into the deeper reaches of techno and ambient, I wanted to show my appreciation for these genres on the record. Atmosphere, clarity and warmth became the pillars of my new sonic exploration, with stress falling on my signature ‘journeying’ style. The album describes the idea of being at peace with machines and being open to the idea that in the future we will find ourselves more and more involved with one another. 

‘Synthetic Serenity’ is a product of a big energy release. It’s a testament to my acceptance of change in life and I believe it’s a true sign of my sonic evolution”

Rotation 039: Hybrid Man Live @ Globus, Berlin

Vinyl & Digital: https://onrotation.bandcamp.com/album/genetic-memories-vol-2

On Rotation returns with the second instalment of its Genetic Memories V/A series, showcasing the diversity of the label’s sound through 4 floor-focused cuts from a spectrum of global talent.

Fresh from dropping an EP with our good friends space:lab, Rambal Cochet delivers a mind-melting A1 to start things off. Deep, tasteful and making full use of his trademark sound design, “Meteora” is one for the witching hour! 

Bolam steps up next with the party-starting “Dream Machine”. Colourful synths sit atop driving breaks, with the peak-time energy dialled up to 11. 

Flipping the record reveals a darker, hazier sound. Moisk’s “GooSE Attack” is reminiscent of long nights (and mornings, and afternoons) in the smoky clubs of Berlin and Amsterdam, while the dark, rolling tech house of “X-Stream” by Aussie heroes Primitive Needs is pure afters’ fodder - a real B2 killer for those who know.

On Rotation is a Leeds-based event & mix series turned label, with 6 genre-defining releases featuring scene stalwarts such as Adam Pits, Solar Suite, Anderson, Roza Terenzi and Hybrid Man, Jamie Leather & more.

Our next release comes from a place very close to home, with our resident Lisene’s debut album. As one of the originators of the psychedelic prog-trance hybrid sound so ubiquitous within today’s music scene, the “Science Friction” LP is his love letter to the genre, as well as all of the various influences that have shaped his sound over the years. 

Created over several years with a perfectionist’s attention to detail, “Science Friction” flits between moods and sonic environments with ease while retaining the cohesion of Lisene’s inimitable production style. Despite being an album, this is still very much a record for the DJs, featuring heads-down club tracks and bass-heavy electro crafted with precision and a cinematic sense of scale. For the home listeners, expansive slo-mo soundscapes and cerebral synth odysseys float high above the clouds, with widescreen details revealing themselves ever further with each re-play.

“This album has been 15 years in the making and represents a culmination of everything I’ve worked towards in defining my own sound and style without letting myself be pigeonholed. I’m immensely proud of each track -  it really reflects where I was at musically while making this, while giving a glimpse into my future sound. This is a record that deserves to be played on the finest sound systems and hi-fis, and I couldn’t be more happy with how it’s turned out. Dive in and enjoy!” 

Combining influences from across the spectrum of dance music with a cinematic sense of psychedelia and his own inimitable production skills, “Science Friction” is sure to see a lot of airtime across the festivals, after-parties and living rooms of the world this summer and beyond.

Our next mix comes from a returning guest and a key part of the On Ro extended family, No Moon. Alongside iconic releases for Mechatronica, Craigie Knowes and Salt Mines, he has recently launched his own label, releasing club slammers on the No Moon Mean Series and warm house, IDM and ambient on the No Moon Cute Series. He's a fantastic DJ and someone we're always happy to run into, and we're very pleased to be able to present you this live recording. Some words from the man himself:

I'm very pleased to be able to share with you the recording from my set at Tag, Chengdu. I was meant to play for 3 hours but the recording ends abruptly at quite a high moment due to the club getting shut down by the police. Needless to say that was quite a memorable experience in itself and I also expected not to get a copy of the recording after that happened. But yeah such an honor to play there, and really happy to have the recording to remember it with as well.

Some background, I recently got the opportunity to travel around China and play in a bunch of different cities. The trip was pretty intense playing in 9 clubs in 3 weeks, which is also a very big difference to the amount I have been typically playing in the last couple of years. One of the things I've always considered important in DJ sets is improvising and not just playing something pre-prepared, but when you only play a couple of times a year this becomes really difficult. So yeah it was really great to have enough gigs in a short time to try and play like this again. Tag was the 6th show of 9 so by this point in the trip I felt really comfortable. The recording is full of new and old classics, blends and little snippets I'd worked out over the course of the tour, and even a rare instance of me playing a No Moon track. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Ahead of our next party, John has put together a superb hour of music to soundtrack the journey to the cosmos. With a singular production style and a detailed knowledge of analogue synthesis, Shima has crafted his own niche in the scene alongside other great producers such as Steve Rutter and Derek Carr. With a production workrate most others could only dream of, he champions a wonderful sound that stylistically sits perfectly between old Sheffield bleep and emotional Detroit techno. His DJ sets cover everything from acid house, dub techno and electro and are a perfect reflection of what we love at On Ro.

We've been gifted this lovely podcast from one of our stateside friends, namely the prolific beat maker extraordinaire @florafm who has seen a number of wicked releases on some of our favourite labels including Planet Euphorique and Kalahari Oyster Cult. He's turned in just over an hour of soulful electronic music that ranges from bumpy house to kaleidoscopic broken techno tracks. Here's what Taylor had to say about the mix: 

"This one's an introverted mix for alone-time on the bus, the plane or the train. As the days get shorter and the sun is obscured, I often find myself lost in thought about what what could have been and what's coming next. These tracks are all long players with delicate, beautiful journeys of their own, meant to soundtrack those solo journeys of life."
