Erbium Records

One year on from Erbium's emergence - with debut VA release Reactions Vol 1 - we're super proud to present the next experiment in the series.

Reactions Vol 2 marks a swirling palette of creativity, expanding into a versatile 12-tracker featuring artists from myriad backgrounds.
An exploration of sound that uncovers the many colourful states of matter within the electronic spectrum.

From trance-inducing ambience, introspective electro feels and nostalgic rave fantasies, to broken techno mindbenders, acid workouts and drum-centric leftfield sounds, each track stands as a reflection of their creator while coherently tapping into the ebb & flow of the overarching VA experience.

The release marks the culmination of almost 9 months work, curating a line up of both new and established artists that we respect and enjoy equally. We have worked very closely (label and artists) throughout the process to create a visual aesthetic that aligns with the shifting styles within, as well as to craft a sonic narrative throughout the VA that harmoniously twists & turns from beginning to end.

Releasing some of the UK underground’s deepest, rawest and most experimental cuts and now entering its second year of operation, Erbium Records announce the follow-up compilation in their Reactions VA series. This time, it’s a 12-track double vinyl comp featuring underground heavyweights such as Mani Festo, Pluralist and Zobol, to name a few. The London-via-Birmingham label focuses on creativity – both in their musical output and the artwork that accompanies it. This release is no different – featuring artwork just as beautifully abstract as the tracks it houses. We especially enjoy the chemistry theme they’ve got going on with their sleeve design, it ties in nicely with the ‘Reactions’ compilation name and fits perfectly with the tracks themselves. Each track brings something unique to the compilation; whether it’s the deep dubby sonic soundscapes of HALT or Kim[bal], the rhythm-driven tracks from Pluralist, Harry Oscillate and Mystique or the breaky dancefloor rave tunes from Mincy or SDS MAX – together they constitute a compilation that is both varied and coherent.  

For our premiere we decided to showcase one of the tracks from the London-based producer SDS MAX, who has been serving up his own style of break-laden heaters over the years on fine labels such as Lobster Theremin, Chequered Wax and of course, Erbium itself. Following the release of his solo EP in September 2020, SDS MAX returns to Erbium with his dancefloor-destroying track ‘Why Won’t You (Be With Me)’, the perfect low-end thumper to get us gassed for when sweaty 5am raves are possible again. The punchy kick cuts through the sustained Reese-like bass to provide a solid foundation upon which the ravey piano chord stabs and vocal delays reign free. The track’s simplicity gives it its beauty, getting straight to the point without any confusion – making you dance.

A universe in a Petri dish?! @boulderheaduk brings his loose, unfurling brand of hybrid techno-electro to the @erbium-records lab with sublime cosmic affect. Deep space atmospherics mould around building percussion and synth anomalies, unlocking dreams of new dimensions and tales of galactic conquest - strap in and take off!

PREMIÈRE: Boulderhead - Voltage Processor

Pre-order here: https://bit.ly/3fUD6r8

‘Recall’ is @Debbauk's first experimental release  — a meandering soundscape with hints of the weighty breakbeat and distinctive vocal chops first portrayed in his Circular Jaw release back in 2019.

After completing his degree in sound production, the Staffordshire-born producer and DJ, Debba, quickly made a name for himself in the capital's underground scene. Fusing a dense, eerie style of UK techno, bass and breaks, Debba's attention to detail shines through with a new intricate sonic detail waiting to be uncovered with each listen.

Resonant Confusion marks the third track on D-Nite's Lunar Break EP, the latest in a string of Erbium releases that explore depth and flexibility across a broad range of shifting styles. Keeping it subtle, the track unfolds with an infectious, evolving narrative that expands into a hybrid dance of bleep techno and rave breaks. Cut up vocal samples and swirling atmospherics also bubble out of the mix to eerie, psychedelic effect.

Native to Sweden, the Manchester based artist Bobo has set out to free himself from the terrestrial bonds of earth and explore the ephemeral sounds of the outer atmosphere.  

Leaning into this stylistic predisposition, Contact takes characteristic elements from the worlds of dubstep, ambient, breaks, electro and techno to create bold, cinematic textures and otherworldly imagery.

With previous releases on Gestalt Records, Gunfinger Food, Eluize’s Night Tide and Further Electronix - alongside his own Bars of Beats and PSU projects - we’re super delighted to now officially welcome him to the Erbium family!

Hailing from the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, CAIN encapsulates his ties to music and the natural world through a lens of organic textures, detailed instrumental arrangements, and dance-inducing drumwork. Following releases on Fine Grains, High Life and Darker Than Wax, the Helios EP marks his welcome debut to the Erbium Records roster; fusing rhythmic elements of 2-step and UK Funky with stringed Middle-Eastern melodies and colourful collages of sound.

PREMIERE: CAIN - Helios

The sky was changing colour before his very eyes, he watched as it morphed and weaved new patterns in the broad light of day. His trip was well underway and his mind a blur of whizzing theories and beautiful colours. A mutation was underway and soon he would be transported to another place in time in which happiness was all that existed and sadness was banished beyond into the abyss. Walking through the park he looked around at all the other people caught up in their own wonderful daydreams, they were just like him. 

Erbium Records is a new Birmingham based record label being run by a collective of three friends. They've recently announced a collection of music due for release across two EP's, it is the later of which we bring you. A track by EIF featured on the "Reactions Vol 1" release.

PREMIERE: EIF - Mutation [Erbium Records]

Bristol-based Zobol cruises his way back to Earth on 3-track EP Solar Return. 
A club-ready excursion through the cosmos propelled by warm breaks, positively charged rhythms and acid licked riffs.  
Seizing themes of exploration and chemical process, the release unveils deeper melodic strains of Breakbeat, Electro, and Deep House. 
A welcome addition to the Erbium lab that surges with uplifting energy.

PREMIERE: Zobol - Perpetual Cycle (Erbium Records)

* Read more: https://boltingbits.com/zobol-rings-of-saturn-erbium-records
* Watch on YouTube:

With Solar Return EP, Bristol-based artist, Jon Chmielewski, who goes by the alias Zobol, continues to refine his space age-y, sci-fi leaning approach to dance music. Across three sprawling tracks, Zobol takes listeners on a voyage through distant, expansive, awe-inspiring soundscapes. 
	Opening track, “Rings of Saturn (Fading),” is a sonic portal into another dimension, one seemingly unbothered by the ordinary rules and logic of space and time. The track illustrates what it might feel like for one’s body, or a substance of some kind, to undergo a form of transmutation. Beginning with a skeletal kick-drum pattern, it quickly evolves with glistening synth arpeggios, atmospheric, reverberating keys, undulating bass, and squelchy acid hits. It’s almost as if the track takes on a life of its own as it continues mutating into a surprisingly graceful, multi-tiered organism with every new break. 
	Dropping on July 31st via Birmingham-based Erbium Records, this track is refreshingly organic and tuneful, while still retaining a mechanized, heady approach. While Zobol’s work here might not be exactly humanist, it certainly has a mercurial, exploratory quality to it that feels very much the work of someone who is tirelessly searching for new, inventive ways of synthesizing machine-made sounds for the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Zobol - Rings Of Saturn

@Erbium-Records line up 'Trip Advisor', a 3-track EP from London-based @SDSMAX for their third outing, a cross-genre ride through chilled breaks, peak-time techno and euphoric punchy house.

SDS Max - Midday in Brixton [Erbium Records]

The evening was young but they all knew where it was headed. To infinity and beyond as they said, holding hands they walked between shadowy alleyways and amidst back streets in the company of friends. The dancefloor loomed, an endless escape from the trouble and strife of the daily cycle of repetition and denial. The same routine was fierce. Not before long they would find themselves sprawled out upon the floor, the afters at Gav's gaff was the blissful solution to an otherwise hectic situation. It was everything. 

SDS MAX readies a new EP for Erbium Records, a deep moving break focussed trancey affair designed to delight and destroy dancefloors. This one comes equipped with a poignant track title, I feel like we all know our own Gav...

Premiere: Electric Supply Station - Number 6  - Erbium Records

The final flourish of a personal project that’s been years in the making. Chairmaker’s Three Songs for Winter reaches a bold conclusion, conjuring guitars that dance, voices who whisper, and drums that march out from the misted veil.   

With each prior EP tapping into the aesthetics and emotions of their respective seasons: Spring, Summer and Autumn. Three Songs for Winter describes the darkest, and most volatile season for many, yet also one steeped in ancient folklore and ethereal majesty.

From the stormy ascent out of droning melancholia on The Fall; to the crisp coldness and shrouded incantations of The Waves; and on to the fuzzy decay and coalescing melodies of The End. All have been influenced by a love of psychedelia and prog-rock genres, while also drawing on trip-hop percussion and FX beats more typically found in leftfield club sounds.

Although bound by the narrative thread of Winter, each track stands alone with a distinct tale to tell. The listener invited to imagine their own place in the great tidal workings of our world, and the realities that might exist beyond it.

The project first emerged out of electric guitar sketches made in an opiated state - the fallout of an unfortunate Summertime accident - where a room in which to recover quickly became a DIY music studio. The result is a measured, immersive experience. A record that’s had time and perspective to expand organically. A cauldron of sketches and live jams moulded through arpeggiated percussion, hours of DAW processing, and a mind that’s had the space to wander/wonder.
