Album release date: December 6th 2024

With rhubiqs we welcome a new artist from the United Kingdom, who makes his first appearance on the Affin label with the album “Aegis of Silence”.
Musically, the project moves between the poles of warm electronica, post-rock and soft ambient sounds, which are miraculously merged into a melodious body of work. rhubiqs' sound works fit into the existing affin sound garden on the one hand, but shine with an independently developed signature that is able to set its own accents.

Glacial Drift Pt. II [ft. Joachim Spieth]

“Beneath the Ancient Oak” is rhubiqs’ first step into slow, introspective organic ambient -- an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

Built around delicate field recordings and inspired by the stillness of ancient woodland, the track weaves together rich, enveloping swells and soft ambient layers. 

It’s a gentle, immersive piece that evokes the feeling of lying beneath old branches, watching light shift through leaves, and listening to the quiet rhythm of the natural world.
