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.

After a strong first release on Fuse Imprint with ‘The Wall’, resident Phara returns to his home base for a mirage of introspective tracks. Furthering his research of emotive club music, ‘Soft Glow, Fierce Light’ seems more than appropriately named. Shimmering melodies, swinging rhythms, and a comforting ambiance, Phara proves that his constantly evolving musical persona and relationship with the Brussels club are built to last.
 
Beginning with ‘Unfold’, the Belgium-native sets the board with a warm introduction. Reminiscent of his recent endeavor as In Glass, a balance is struck between the slower tempo techno of his secondary alias and the higher club energy that he’s been known to bring as Phara. Steady at first, filters open wide half way through the track to ensure maximum euphoria off or on the dance floor. ‘Flow’ follows in suit and here the producer keeps the level constant and tense with intricate melodic design. A steady groove with blossoming synth lines make ‘Flow’ a beauty to witness unravel. Warm chord stabs make for a nostalgic EP and shows once more that the seasoned producer frequently enjoys prioritizing emotion over drive. Flipping the vinyl to the other side, ‘Wave to Wave’ points a finger to all things dub, even a discrete appreciation of house music, through the harmony of his keys to the sound design of his square bass, and its common borders with techno. Juggling in snare rolls and rides throughout, Phara sets the tone with a soothing piece of work for lovers of the eyes-closed genre. To conclude, ’Solitude’ brings a polished vintage effect to the project that ‘Wave to Wave’ introduced, this time with heightened intensity worthy of a set closer. Punchy stabs make this a particularly extraverted track, fitting into almost any record bag - Room 01 or Motion Room friendly. Thundering claps over an electric melody, these kinds of tracks aren’t new to Phara. Pouring soul into his tracks, Phara proves once again to be a truly central artist in developing the Fuse sound and continuing his stylistic journey.

Das exklusive Live-Interview mit den Gründern von WERK37.
Im Gespräch: @paulomen & Power Richi
Moderiert von: MARGO [ @houseofmargo ]

Mitten in einer turbulenten Phase der Hamburger Clubkultur erschafft eine Gruppe von drei Handwerkern – einem Elektriker & Lichttechniker, einem Designer sowie einem Luftfahrttechniker & Flugzeugbauer – aus dem Nichts einen hochwertigen Club mitten in der Stadt.
Ein ernüchternder Moment für alle Hamburger Szene-AkteurInnen.
Nach nur drei Wochen mit Clubnächten, Ambient Listening Sessions und Filmabenden verschwindet WERK37 wieder – und hinterlässt Fragen: Was braucht es, um in Hamburg einen (guten) Club ins Leben zu rufen? Was ist unser nächste Schritt?


Editor's Notes:
Dies ist ein Live-Recording unseres Panel-Talks aus dem Villa Viva Hotel im März 2025. Es hält ein Stück Clubgeschichte fest und bietet ehrliche, filterfreie Einblicke hinter die Kulissen des Hamburger Club- und Event-Managements.

WERK37 INTERVIEW: Wie man einen Techno Club baut (und Underground-Geschichte schreibt)

@0gmojo isn’t just playing vinyl ,he curates moods !

As part of @instinktlab and journalist for @electronicbeatspodcast , he moves between Cologne and Berlin as effortlessly as he moves between decks and dialogue, his storytelling skills reflected in every set, making them feel like a late‑night conversation.

His sound? Warm, unhurried, alive. Strictly vinyl. A mix of deep grooves, dusty soul, and those elusive tracks that feel like sun‑drenched after‑hours.

This is music for drifting, for dreaming, for those moments when the time slows down ⏳

Resident. Selector. Vibe architect.

We Are The Brave front man Alan Fitzpatrick provides the labels next release with a typically incendiary two-tracker. Delving deep into his record collection for inspiration, the result is a brace of distinct, ear-catching cuts that tip a hat to by-gone times in rave culture and have returned big reactions from contemporary crowds all summer. 

The aptly titled “They All Called ‘Em Garys” combines droning hardcore hoovers and power piano with Fitzpatrick’s trademark heavy tech funk. While “Rhino” adopts a slung-back groove of resounding bass and tense pads overlaid with a knockout melody that bubbles away before unleashing its full chord progression through an unashamedly epic breakdown.

Synesthesia: Your own internal modular set-up rewiring to create new and unexplainable experiences and associations. A perceptual phenomenon where stimuli-conjured shapes and colors are invoked by anything and everything from numbers to musical notes. It affects around 1 in 23 of us and its effects can be likened tothat of LSD… But we’re much more interesting in another type of acid.

Like the acid currently being brewed by Dame-Music founder, techno doyen and fellow synesthete Bloody Mary. Following the stark machine funk venom of her last Dame-Music release ‘Knockout’ she makes her debut on Ovum with three outstanding acid tracks that come straight from the source.

Stripping her set-up down to the bare tools, each of the three experiences here are created with nothing but Mary’s TR-909, 303, Pro 2 Synth and her voice. Pure, concentrated and direct, each track rewires our own cognitive and sensory pathways – taking our memories and our own relationship with stark, electrified acid techno and reconnecting them to three killer new perceptions. Each version taking the same glaring sinewy stance, this is the sound of new and unexplainable experiences and associations. And quite possibly the sound
of a strong future for longstanding French-born/Berlin-based DJ and Wink’s Philly-based label; with a sense of 303 craft as strong as this, the wires run deep.

The Synesthesia Experience

Bloody Mary - Experience #1

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave label has been busy laying down foundations for the past twelve months. The run-away commercial success of their debut single “We Do What We Want” was just the start, and have since been setting the standards.

The label boss himself makes his welcome return to the label this October, with Magnetic Dog. The original comes laced with slicing hats, crispy yet superbly deep thundering kicks and a cheeky dose of acid thrown in for good measure.

Alan wrote the original back in 2016 and waited for that special remix to finalise the package. Always a supporter of Marcus Intalex and his productions, under his Trevino moniker he delivered a masterfully deep rework, taking down the tempo and achieving a euphoric cut of the original.
