Who'd have thought the quiet market town of Hitchin, on the outskirts of London, would be home to a passionate purveyor of riveting techno... That's Rob Kirkaldy, or Fossil Archive and R.M.K as he's known to many. 

Like we said, techno is his bread and butter, having first been inspired by its Detroit roots, but rest assured he's exploring all facets of the genre which brings a distinctive energy to his output. It's the many years he's spent honing his craft that have seen to that, not only through his releases but his DJ and live sets too.

Having shared releases for the likes of NECHTO, Obscure, Fachwerk and ARTS over the years, in 2015 he decided to step into the label world too with his eponymous Fossil Archive imprint, which is powered by the idea of not compromising on his sound. It's been a home for his own productions first and foremost but also welcomes other artists for collaborations and remixes, including the likes of Trevino, Stephen Brown and Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa.

For his 'Ransom Note' mix she shares the recording of a special live show performed under his R.M.K moniker at De Helling in Utrecht last year. It's techno in its purest form - stripped back, room shaking, thunderous - but full of groove and soul. Let him help you shake off those residual cob webs...

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ DJ HOCKEY

DJ Hockey approaches techno by intermingling layers of contrasting elements. 
Defining characteristics for his selections are thick, encompassing atmospheres and moods on the introspective side. These sounds are often paired with nods to the Midwest wrapped in a single session, crafting a journey through spacious and full beats.  A consistent overarching theme of DJ Hockey’s style in selecting and producing is having a driving pace and heavy hit of psychedelia. 
DJ Hockey started PPRZ records with Adam 2 with the intention to showcase techno from the PNW and beyond with a cheeky nod to queer culture in underground dance music.

DJ Hockey - Tech Clubbers Podcast #289

Two years ago I played a set in the small garden hut of ://about blank, which was a very unique situation for me. Since the location was super tiny and intimate and in general a more "fun" context, I also wanted to play different than I usually do. I was blessed with some good feedback on this set, so I decided to upload it. It’s a wild journey through oldschool trance, house, dub techno, acid, breakbeat and several other electronic stuff. Hope you’ll have as much fun listening, as I had playing.
