Ultimae proudly presents "OPIA," the second Various Artists compilation curated by Danish DJ Christian Samsara. This artfully assembled collection of ten tracks captures the numinous essence of cinematic ambient music, IDM, and electronica, enveloping listeners in atmospheres that transcend the everyday, leading them into a lush sonic landscape. OPIA ideates the ambiguous intensity of eye contact, which can extrapolate to the profound connection between the music and its audience.

With influences ranging across a wide palette of rhythms, patterns, and pads, OPIA invites exploration of the liminal spaces between sound and silence. Within its fugacious harmonies, the music's transient beauty emerges, where melodies dance on the edge of perception before gently fading, leaving an afterglow of serene awe.

Featured artists include Miktek, Lars Leonhard, Cell, Martin Nonstatic, SYNC24, AES Dana, and Erot, each also collaborating with Christian Samsara and Carbon Based Lifeforms. Additionally, OPIA welcomes newcomer Formant Value to our realm.

Captain Peanut Better is a project born from passions for music, neuroscience, and the exploration of the psychedelic. 🧠

Captain Peanut Better fuses tribal and psychedelic sounds sourced from all genres to forge new sonic trails. 🎶

Let the Captain's sound guide you through the weird bends of your mind (namely, the peanut multiverse), explore the mysterious corners of your consciousness, and feel the freedom for self-expression. 🌈

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.

"the inevitable song of Hope
wakes me
before slumber can take me
down into its realm of despair"

Heliocentrism concerts were played in psychedelic club parties in polish biggest cities and on festivals such as Goa Dupa, Yaga Gathering (Lithuania), Gaia (Lithuania).

Brzmienie Heliocentrism powstaje w harmonijnym uzupełnianiu się zarejestrowanych dźwięków naturalnych przestrzeni i odległych, podwodnych, subtelnych bitów, otoczonych transcendentalnymi wokalizami, zapraszających słuchaczy to wzięcia udziału w dźwiękowym doświadczeniu oscylującym pomiędzy formą, treścią a percepcją…
