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.

Ataraxy is a queer Brussels-based dj. Although he’s better known for his groovy/trancy tracks, Ataraxy’s collection ranges from trippy/hypnotic sounds to ghetto/breakbeat, hard house and hard dance. He puts all his emotions into his mixes and releases them as soon as he gets behind the decks. Music has become a way to release himself from his hypersensitivity. 
Ataraxy means « peace of mind ; a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety ; unconditional tranquility ». This name has great significance for him, since it’s this feeling that he’s trying to feel AND convey to the crowd.

Token presents the 6th chapter of the Fuga series. Challenging new faces to complete the label’s sound, Fuga VI is another focused compilation that balances spatial detail and rhythmic bite. 
Skipping any introduction to dive straight into the essence of the compilation, Skjöld portrays ‘Forbidden City’ as a tense aquatic exploration. With pressure in the low end, he keeps the record alive by conjuring obscure pads to give dimension and intrigue to an already nervous track. This persistence is quickly met with weight; Tapefeed’s ‘Residual Memory’ follows up to tap into the label’s more aggressive side. Riddled with mechanical sound design bordering on the industrial, the Tapefeed duo creates dancefloor dominating energy that sets them apart with an all-out approach. The density of this second track feeds smoothly into Stephen Disario’s ‘Out Of Tune’ - a drum-forward record with dispersed texture. The LA based producer puts his hi hats brutally forward to cut through the space, finding a remarkable balance between its two sides and exploiting its confrontation. Returning to the label’s recognizable resonance, Merino steps in with ‘Memoria’ - a manic 5 minute synth loop with minimal percussion. Dealing in restraint and dissonance, Merino naturally finds a home in Fuga VI with this track before heading back into the peak time paranoia of JSPRV35 in ‘Question’. Pushing up the intensity and flicking through vintage percussion lines, ‘Question’ is an extraverted homage to the origins of techno that embodies flair.  The track drives through the middle of Fuga with ease, bouncing rhythm off a sharp bassline with thundering claps and snares. ‘Catch 22’ by Terminus restores balance with minimalism but pace. A hypnotic break in the second half is sure to mesmerize dancers and home listeners alike. Stuttering hats shake throughout ‘Catch 22’ to push the track along, keeping the harmony low and maintaining focus on the movement. With a similar tempo, Sanna Mun follows up with ‘Binary Systems’. A speedrun through an acid-like bassline, the track’s rhythm is obsessive and persistent as we reach the conclusion of the compilation. Fuga VI comes full circle with a ghostly track by Mode_1 called ‘Lifespan’, stretching time and tunneling through with booming toms and shuffled hats. Keeping the pressure high and maintaining that never ending energy is the only way to wrap up such a high energy release and Mode_1 does just that.

Premiere : Altinbas - Maniola [OS006]

For the 35th episode of this series, the crew delivers something very special: a 4 hours back-to-back-to-back set featuring TIS, Serrati, and KAYDEE.

The journey begins with ambient textures and slow dubs, flows into deep house and minimalistic dub-infused techno, and culminates in intense, mental and hypnotic grooves.

This set captures the full spectrum of influences and visions that shape the DISOSS sound. We loved creating it and hope you enjoy listening just as much.

Enjoy the ride!
