in retrospect, this quick jam, consisting of some 808 drum hits and a bunch of samples taken from a Casio PT series keyboard I bought in a thrift store was kinda the starting point of the whole "recycling old tech" Robot Riddims thing. 

Anyway, I just found it lying about, so here it is for completeness!

The Roland Stoves (aka The Interzone amongst other monikers) were pioneers in the techno, electronica and ambient scenes from the early 90's. Many recordings were made during the period '91 - '96, and at least three albums, several eps and a full length promo video were completed, but nothing received a general release. 

In the end only a few demos ever made it out of their Moonbase Alpha studio, mainly handed personally to contemporary artists like Aphex Twin, Orbital, The Shamen, The Orb, Drum Club, Eat Static, Coldcut etc. and a multitude of techno DJs. 

It seems that the diversity of styles that were being output made for an unlikely fit with the various labels of the time. A possible release on Aphex's Rephlex imprint was not mutually agreed, Mighty Force (who first issued Aphex Twin's Didgeridoo) couldn't take it all on board, Planet Dog appeared unreachable and discussions with Rob at Warp were unfortunately cut short.. Even an introduction to Novamute from Richie Hawtin led nowhere leaving The Stoves languishing in the wilderness.

The tracks featured here are from a selection of remasters in an ongoing project to resurrect The Roland Stoves from obscurity...

Rob Park - DJ & Music Producer | Hastings, UK

Based in the vibrant music scene of Hastings, UK, I’m deeply passionate about creating and sharing music that resonates with people. My journey as a DJ and producer is fueled by a love for discovering fresh sounds, collaborating with emerging artists, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in music technology.

For me, there’s nothing more thrilling than finding that perfect groove and seeing a crowd come alive, creating unforgettable moments together. The energy in those moments is what keeps me inspired, and I feel lucky to be part of a music community that’s constantly evolving.

Some of the most impactful music, in my experience, often comes from the most simple ideas.

I’m always eager to connect, whether it’s collaborating on new tracks, working on remix projects, or just having a conversation about music and tech. If you have something exciting on your mind, I’d love to chat.
