The first track means a lot to me because two years ago my parents passed away within two weeks of each other due to cancer. It happened quickly between mid-August and the end of August. This was the saddest time in my life. I was struggling with myself, with the world, with everything. After a few months, I decided to translate my emotions into a song. I wrote this song for them but I was never able to finish it. It felt like I had "overproduced" it and was missing that special something. My good friend told me, "Michael, don't think about the project for a period of time. Sometimes, something will happen when you don't expect it to."

After nine months it was Christmas and we did a let's say a "corona confirm" dinner party. My good friend Basch invited Robert (Owens). Since Basch's mother and Robert are from the same town and maybe the same street in Detroit, they've been connected to each other for the past 30 years!

Robert came to the dinner party and it was synergy. I told him the story and about the missing elements for the song. He listened to it after dinner and said, "okay where is your studio?" After the Xmas dinner party, we went to my studio where we recorded the vocals. Robert did it on the fly and all friends in the studio cried tears as if there was some kind of magic in the air.

Since then, we are working together on something special. It's blossomed into a friendship we both enjoy.

The journey ends in London with my all-time favorite Label Fingerlickin Records. I requested a Remix from the Plump DJs and Jem Stone. Both agreed and the results are making this record unique.

The Plump DJs Remix is a UK Breakbeat-Chord-Style groove monster.

Jem Stone's version is an emotional journey that cannot be explained in words…

Blackbox is a project from TMPLT, Robert Owens and Sebastian Sauve. What is in the Blackbox? There is no answer yet but stay tuned. Sometimes you will find it out...

Internationally celebrated techno artist Victor Ruiz has enjoyed considerable success over recent years with his undeniably authentic strain of underground electronic music. A staunch contributor to the progression of the genre, Victor’s deft ear is guided by a sheer passion for evolution and artistic expression, making him one of the most dynamic contemporary talents on the circuit. Following a string of globally acclaimed releases in 2024, the Brazilian artist now unveils his most audacious body of work to date, delving into the archives of his un-released catalog – old and new – to form his latest medley of tracks, ‘This Is Not An Album’. Landing on Ruiz’s own imprint VOLTA, which now stands as techno’s fourth best-selling record label just two years after its inception.

In an era where music is often consumed with fleeting value, Ruiz challenges this notion head-on. His 8-track collection stands as a powerful statement against the conventional norms of the industry and serves as a bold, rebellious manifesto. 'This Is Not An Album' is not just a release; it is an artistic and conceptual project, deeply rooted in years of meticulous creation. The tracks – some dating back several years – have been carefully curated to form a sundried, yet cohesive body of work that defies both trends and traditional album formats, evoking a totally new listening experience for its audience.

Unlike conventional album arrangements, ‘This Is Not An Album’ represents Victor’s keen enthusiasm towards a plethora of genres, promising a slice of ear candy for each and every listener. Hosting sensibilities across the techno spectrum – from melodic, emotive and groovy, to the deep, dark and hypnotic depths of the genre – the mosaic of cuts aims to provoke a reaction from its audience that goes far beyond that of a commercialist music release. 
 
The release date for this collection - August 8, 2024 - also holds significance to its narrative; another intriguing facet to this conceptually-driven, artistic opus. Featuring 8 tracks, released on the 8th, and with the sum of 2024 amounting to 8, Victor sought to imbue his music with a sense of intentionality and depth, offering his listeners a meaningful and memorable experience tied to the alignment of numbers.
 
"This release is my way of pushing back against the transient nature of today’s music industry," says Ruiz. "I wanted to create something that would stand the test of time, that people could connect with on a deeper level. 'This Is Not An Album' is my revolt to a scene that often prioritizes quick hits over lasting impact.” He continues, “People may think that this has been a very elaborate project but it’s not. I just felt like releasing 8 tracks out of the blue and funnily enough the date aligned perfectly. I hope you enjoy.”
 
Victor Ruiz, known for his profound and immersive techno soundscapes, has crafted this collection to transcend the boundaries of commercialism and return to the liberative roots of dance music. 'This Is Not An Album' is not aimed at mainstream success; rather, it is a passionate expression of Ruiz’s artistic vision. Each track is a testament to his dedication to creating music that is enduring, evocative and deeply personal.
 
Fans and newcomers alike can expect a sonic journey that is thought-provoking, exhilarating and perhaps, at times, confusing. 'This Is Not An Album' encapsulates the essence of Victor Ruiz’s innovative spirit, producing with pure intent and unbridled creativity to deliver a listening experience that is as profound as it is joyously rebellious.

This recording captures one of my favorite sets of 2024. Opening the Hammahalle is always a magical experience, and this night was no exception. The entire Sisyphos was beautifully adorned for Dia De Los Muertos, complete with a shrine honoring those who have passed.The crowd’s creative costumes added to the atmosphere, making the dancefloor feel otherworldly and giving me goosebumps the entire set. I loved every second and can’t wait for you to relive this special night with me for the next three hours. <3
