Far & Off, a collaborative creation by Vincent Villuis and Mihalis Aikaterinis, known as AES DANA and MIKTEK, has been fully rethought—remastered and graphically redesigned. Originally conceived from the essence of three EPs — Cut. | Alkaline | The Unexpected Hours — this album represents a poignant journey born from a period of extended detachment and isolation.

In today’s world, where life is saturated with incessant information, stimuli, and fragmented time, many feel overwhelmed. Some adjust, some collapse, and others, like the composers, feel the profound need to escape. Far & Off was not a spontaneous reaction but a slow culmination of necessity, not driven by any philosophical, spiritual, or religious belief, but as a natural response to the surrounding frenzy. This album is about seeking solitude, crossing into a different rhythm, and feeling the flow of time.

With Far & Off, the artists share this experience through keys and sounds, pads and patterns, glitches, and drums, aiming to create contrasted tales that highlight life’s paradoxes, from harshness to tranquility.

AES DANA Feat. MIKTEK | Small Things Matter (Remastered)

Derived from the Latin “Ultimae Terrae,” meaning “the furthest places,” the name Ultimae reflects a profound theme of exploration. This concept is at the heart of Ultimae Records, an ambient music record label and publisher dedicated to transporting listeners to the outer edges of experience through sound and offering a space for introspection and discovery within the vastness of the mind and beyond.

In 1999, Vincent Villuis and Sandrine Gryson, also known as AES Dana and Mahiane, united over a shared passion for the immersive world of electronic music. This collaboration led to the birth of the label. Initially envisioned as a musical portal, Ultimae’s mission was to explore and disseminate the diverse expressions of Ambient music far and wide through the production of records and the establishment of an online shop.

Over the years, Ultimae has expanded beyond its original scope, evolving into a multifaceted company with sound design, post-production, and mastering studios based in Lyon, France, along with professional services in publishing, music licensing, and synchronization.

Experimental dark psy. Tribal & Ambient 🌌
The cozy side of core 💫


"neurotica" comes from one of the first psychoanalytic discoveries, when research oscillated between trauma, fantasy and reality.

A contemporary vision of the "neurotica" theory which tends towards the sharing of obscure and introspective sounds, offering a journey to the heart of the darkest parts of the soul, always destined to bounce back towards the light.

Through psychedelic and experimental music (darkpsy, psycore, or even ambient, tribal), imagine chimerical journeys implying the idea of a long-term work for the human being becoming.

Each of us is part of this vast, unscripted story—wired into the systems, shaped by our strengths, locked into our limits. Some are born ahead, some struggle to catch up, but the task is the same: build your life, do your work, keep going.

2nd Accident is one of many navigating this era. A character in the story of the modern world. A reminder that music is not just sound—it’s a tool to sharpen focus, to push through, to reclaim what distractions try to take.

Not everyone hears it. But those who do, they understand.

Chris‘s hobby and love for good electronic music goes back to the beginning of this millennium, growing up listening to big masters like Hernan Cattaneo, Danny Tennaglia and Danny Howells and co. 

However, the biggest influence remains Mr. Fady Ferraye, long time resident at the legendary Club NL in The Netherlands and the BO18 in Beirut to name a few. 

He is also passionate about quality DJ equipment and electronic gadgets. And participates in and gets inspired from major music festivals in Europe and worldwide. 

On his private events with his friends, the jogging wheels are spinning just good music. Every now and then, a Mixtape is posted here, and can be played and enjoyed during training at the gym, a free run, or just listening. 

Make sure to have a good set of speakers, headset or earpiece, because you’re about to have a good time! 

Move, keep moving!
