Ultimae proudly presents "Gneiss", a first solo EP on the label for Danish composer Tore Kofod Hyldahl aka Erot after his participation on Martin Nonstatic's "Granite Remixes" and releases on labels such as Iboga Records, Altar and Fallen Metropolis.

The emotive and abstract musical tale invites the listener to escape perception, understanding and apprehend the vast of music, of nature, time and space. Grounded yet floating freely, the chiselled rhythms and the evanescent pads create the cradle of contrasts in which one can let himself be lulled and carried away on a deep and delicate journey. Erot welcomes aboard space ambient and downtempo initiates Henrik Rolsted Laugesen and Vincent Villuis, respectively known as Lauge and AES Dana to fuel the experience with extra cinematic atmospheres and beats.

Mindspring Music welcomes Sacred Seeds. Hailing from India, Wasim Kozhikode's project is a captivating auditory experience with a palette of deep ambient sounds, heavy sub frequencies and strong emotive textures combined with melodic patterns.
We all share a symbiotic system that echoes all of our thoughts, emotions and memories, as we create each of our own unique lives on this planet that we call home. These echoes can be seen all throughout nature from the sacred geometry in trees, flowers, animals, our friends and family, and the memories of our lives. The very nature of a fractal universe can be seen through the eyes of us all as we travel through this human experience. 
“Echo System” is a deep Psybient journey through the very nature of the fractal universe we all live in and share. The repeating patterns, shapes, textures and colors reflect the echo of our very existence.

Release date: 12th September 2022

Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

This skill reflects the depth and breadth of Roth’s production experience. He learnt piano from a young age and bought his first synthesizer in his late teens. Around the same time he dived headfirst into Frankfurt’s underground, spending his weekends submerged in the sounds and selections of Sven Väth and Culture Beat’s Torsten Fenslau at institutions like Omen and Dorian Gray. When Roth began playing local clubs, Frankfurt’s melancholic influence impacted his music and has remained ever since, regardless which genre he’s turned his hand to.

‘Mono No Aware’ is the second album released on Reflections, and is a further exploration of Roth’s analog past. Martin released his first low-tempo LP ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’ in 2020 and says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which translates to ‘an awareness that everything fades away.’

Roth’s ambition for ‘Mono No Aware’ is that it touches the listener in the same way his first album did. “When I released An Analog Guy In A Digital World, suddenly I received messages from people all over the world,” Roth says. “They were long, heartfelt, heartbreaking messages, about how a certain track supported them through the hardest moments of their lives. The people who write these messages have no idea how much they are supporting me, so I hope the music on Mono No Aware touches people in the same way.”

Mono No Aware is out now on Reflections.

After multiple releases on various labels including the much acclaimed Abstrakt Reflections, here comes [ Elsewhere ], Miktek's first full length album on Ultimae. 

Mihalis Aikaterinis, Greek artist, has a natural ability to compose music as ethereal as deeply grounded. With roots in the gothic and cold wave realms and a genuine passion for the electronic scene, he weaves with verve and subtlety finely crafted rhythms and soft melodies. The wide soundscapes, floating atmospheres and resonant themes reveal profound emotions akin to melancholia and hope. 

[ Elsewhere ] is a cinematic downtempo, IDM and ambient album presenting 12 tracks including a remixed version of Ominous Ride featured on the [ Ambrosia ] compilation.

The sights and sounds of a summer afternoon converge to create the most memorable mental photos of a town where no one wants to leave, filled with the sounds no one will ever forget. Childhood laughter is accompanied by a distant surf crashing upon a pebbled shoreline under the occasional chimes of clock tower bells. Capture that place in time the entire family will remember for generations to come. https://www.michigan.org/kids-attractions

A movement towards wholeness in 4 parts.

Fresh on the heels of his Billboard charting album “Sci-Fi Lullabies”, Bluetech returns with a deep dive into genre-defying electronic music on his new double LP “Holotrope”.  Imagined as a psychonauts journey into inner space and back, “Holotrope” contains 4 distinct continuously mixed journeys, each designed to fill a single side of vinyl.

As the album unfolds through the four movements of Descending, Expanding, Ascending & Integrating, Bluetech displays his signature penchant for ping-ponging melodic interplay, creative modular synthesis, atmospheric sound design, and dubwise fx manipulation.  Touching down in ambient, downtempo, space disco, electro, dub house, and spacehop territories, “Holotrope” still contains a cohesive aesthetic that is instantly recognizable as the Bluetech sound.

Inspired by Holotropic Breathwork, meditation, lucid dreaming and journeys through the imaginal realms, “Holotrope” presents a map of movement through layers of perception.  Starting with a centering in the physical body and descending into the realms of expanded awareness and ego dissolution, the music charts a serpentine path through ever deep states of being.  

Following up on a highly prolific year of releases, Bluetech invites you to #jointhemoment and journey through Holotrope.

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.
