ROAX is a producer and artist from Johannesburg, South Africa, known for crafting immersive techno built on eerie textures, bleepy synth work, and strange, creature-like sonic elements. His productions lean into the hypnotic and atmospheric, drawing listeners into abstract soundscapes.

As the founder of Underground Africa and a key player in the local scene, ROAX is deeply embedded in the culture — not just through music, but through his role as a promoter, event curator, and venue collaborator. His output reflects a commitment to the raw, introspective side of techno, always exploring the outer edges of rhythm and sound design.

Whether in the studio or behind the scenes, ROAX stays active in shaping and supporting South Africa’s underground music scene.

This new track is a richly detailed environment of tension and subtle movement, capturing the essence of VARIA — electronic soundscapes that endure beyond the dancefloor.

VARIA: Enduring electronic soundscapes for discerning dancefloors.
Prioritising deep, nuanced rhythms and lasting artistry.

Sigvard - Neon Shadows [SOMA SELECTS Premiere]

Support here: animarecords.bandcamp.com/album/orbit-anima-003

ANIMA’s Third Adventure - ‘ORBIT’ is inspired by outer space, star dust and circular rhythms. The trajectory of moons around planets, planets around suns. Creating an eternal cycle. An ethereal dance. Like molecules and atoms spinning endlessly the same way. Beautiful bleeps, polyrhythms, and polymeters were encouraged and delicately disguised within the orbital nature of each track in this galactic release.

KaioBarssalos - Perplexing [SRVA02]

This virtual world understands that in the spheres of knowledge and commercialization, there are other genres and styles. But deep down, we can recruit, enlist, or simply absorb new members into the organization. The only requirement? Knowing how to make techno, after all.
This is not just a compilation. It is a transmission of consciousness, committed to exploring techno from its tribal origins to its most futuristic edges. These are twelve tracks, twelve disciples redefining the groove in the digital realm. Each artist contributes a sonic fragment of their vision. Together, they trace a path built from rhythm, texture, and frequency.
They are not filling a vessel. They are the water itself - the flow, the shape, the essence. The meaning lies not at the end, but in every step of the journey through this virtual landscape.
The Syndicate is that experience - a movement not driven by final destinations but by the authenticity of each production and the depth of each sound. In a world overwhelmed by noise and distraction, these artists choose precision and intention. They step aside and let the spirit of techno speak through the digital void.

This is how the Syndicate works, and this is how each track exists. Difficult to understand as a whole. Easy to understand individually. But history and the past show the destiny of each member who keeps techno alive in this virtual realm.

This is the moment where control is reclaimed - a formal, almost unseen force that transforms and guides with serenity. Their presence does not need to be declared. It is felt. The Syndicate is not just a series. It is an order, a devotion, and perhaps a moving meditation inviting the listener to go deeper, to reflect, and to get lost in sound.

These are twelve tracks, twelve disciples redefining the groove. Each artist; T.A.M, Saint DKoda, Duniz, The Vortex Devils, Cams Pal, Dan Vaxx, Mislight, CYXQRD, SUB:TOOL, M2P, Okaro, DEXTER, and CORTX.
