As a co-founder, he has long shaped the label’s uncompromising DIY ethos—placing experimentation, raw energy, and community at the heart of its vision. After releasing in a series of acclaimed platforms, the forward-thinking DJ and producer from Vyronas, Athens returns to vinyl with a genre-defying release. Building on the experimental pulse and reshaping the edge between electro, breaks and techno, Romphea continues that trajectory,
weaving together tense polyrhythms, warped melodic fragments, and cavernous spaces.
This release features four, plus three digital bonus original tracks, aiming to provide a clear sound identity for the artist. The A-side opens with “Calls from Salem”, a dystopian slow burner that sets the tone with broken-beat percussion and dissonant synth stabs. “Steel Chair” surges forward with unrelenting force, propelled by serrated arpeggios and a barrage of fragmented vocals that rise and fall within the space, crafted for peak-time eruption.

Flipping to the B-side, “Paid Dividends” reaches full intensity, layering hammering kicks and percussion, while the low end rumbles with tectonic weight, amplifying the energy to fever pitch. Closing the record on a more contemplative note, “We Are The Universe” slows the pace, easing the tension and drifting into deeper territory. Echoing chords drift into space, layered with fragile percussive details and low, throbbing pulses. It’s a meditation on collapse and renewal, offering a moment of breath after the storm.

Extending beyond the physical record, this release comes with three extra digital exclusives. "Moonlighting" is another dancefloor stomper, capturing the tension and guiding dancers into a space where time dissolves, while in "Keygen Music", the rhythm remains grounded, but it is softened by melodic fragments that swirl in and out like fleeting memories. The release closes with "The 286 Theory" as a fierce statement: a four-to-the-floor cut, with layers of percussion that drive the groove forward, bringing the record full circle.

Straight from the source, defying the norms, devoted to the art. Do not sleep.

BIO
UK Dj from West Yorkshire 
Played at various clubs around West Yorkshire like Mint Club, Mission and Space Leeds as well as been support dj for Cybereign.
Been in love with electro since school in the 80's
Dabbled with rave in the 90's & got my Decks. Went back to my first love after listening to don't stop the beat by Anthony rother. Influenced by Mr Velcro fastener, Dexter and so on.

TECHcontrol aka Darren Holmes
I have been making music on and off for other 10 years and it's his way to escape from every day life. I have always loved music of all genres. Growing up in Yorkshire in the 70's and 80's I was brought up on groups such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dreams and the Who. The 80's changed a lot for me when the begin of electronic music started to hit the scene. Breakdance and the music surrounding it was the thing I remembers the most. Along came the 90's and my love of music just grow with the acid/rave scene along with the Brit-pop scene. But it wasn't until the end of the 90's I discovered how to make music on a computer and this fascinated me so much.
Electro has been to be my first love ever since I first listened to Kraftwerk back in the early 80's. Then my first release comes in 2016 on Urban Connections for the label compilation of VA “Fifth Element”, which was the beginning of a continuous collaboration with the label until today. 
Have worked on remixes for the likes of Cybereign.
I have created an EP "The Cure" on Urban Distorsions record label as well as my debut album "Perfect Machine" on Urban Connections Label.
I have also featured on the the fund raising album "CAREBOTS" by Bass Agenda Records.
