Everyday felt the same, there was little variation in the tasks and activities that filled their time. Spontaneity was a non-existent idea - repetition ruled their every move. It had become such a normal way of living that now they didn't know any different, any alternate options or changes to their routine through everything into disarray. They'd given up fighting it, repeating patterns would forever be their reality.

Having made a mark with his debut LP last year on Kneaded Pains, Fossil Archive now returns to his own eponymous label for a new solo EP, Pattern Repeat. Made up of four tracks of celestial acid, emotive techno and hypnotic trips for the dance floor, the release is a taster of all the things Fossil Archive does best.

For the title track he teams up with Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa who provides ethereal vocals that lift the track into the heavens. This isn't the first time the pair have joined forces with Fossil Archive and Sub Club's Stevie Cox bringing the singer, producer and DJ on board for their recent collaborative EP for Hammer's Remmah imprint.

Roberto (real name: Rob Kirkaldy) is a London based Techno producer, DJ and Remixer. Considered to be one of the most exciting new UK Techno artists in recent years, he combines influences from Detroit and Amsterdam to create his own sound unique to the UK.

As a DJ, he brings a special energy to the dance floor that is the product of many years of dedication to the craft. Never one to let an audience get bored, his sets explore many angles of techno, which has seen him play at some of the most well respected clubs around the world, including fabric in London and both Tresor and Berghain in Berlin. His DJ skills have also made him a popular choice for podcasters, having been called upon to deliver mixes for esteemed shows like the CLR Podcast, Slam Radio and Electric Deluxe.

With an already impressive discography, Roberto has built his production credits with EPs on the likes of Rekids, Fachwerk, ARTS, Solar Phenomena and Obscura, as well as a host of remixes for artists like Jamie Anderson, Roberto Clementi, DJ Rolando and Shinedoe. His own tracks have been remixed by artists such as Steve Rachmad (Sterac), Mike Dehnert, Trevino and Peverelist.

At the beginning of 2015, Roberto launched his own Fossil Archive label. Predominantly a vinyl label (though releases are also available digitally), the ethos of the imprint is that it must not compromise on the sound.

As Roberto said in a recent interview with Data Transmission: “I love the fact that you can hold a piece of music in your hands. They are art pieces in their own right. Music is the product of many years of development; much like a fossil that can be buried deep underground for millions of years, until it is discovered. I wanted to ensure the music is of the highest quality, which means not rushing things.”
