The Trip To Vega: A deep outer space odyssey. Jeff Mills releases new album.

Jeff Mills returns with a new solo album.

“The Trip To Vega” is about a deep outer space odyssey that occurs in the process of traveling from Earth through the Cosmos to another “favorable” star system 25.3 light-years away. The time is year 2097, Sept 23rd. Earth’s physicality has changed – it is no longer favorable for living things.

The constant shifting of the planet’s internal tectonic plates has produced an extraordinary amount of sound including a specific harmonic frequency that erodes the natural senses of all life on Earth. It is intensifying. It is intolerable. It is unlivable. A decision has been made, and a Trip To Vega is the consequence.

Eleven tracks across three discs, with production choices that serve the concept throughout. No drum machine was used. Individual percussion sounds are intricately placed to perceive the presence of a drum instrument. The typical three acoustic ranges were dropped a notch: the album mainly uses mid, low and subsonic frequencies, referring to the story that Earth’s dangerous sound effects had already affected most humans and their ability to hear hi frequencies. The album is directed mainly at today’s younger generation – the one that, if lived a healthy life, could live to reach 2097.

The Trip To Vega is released on Axis Records on June 19, 2026.

Welcome to PHAAAR

No-frills high octane techno.

Phaaar is the label of Belgian techno mainstay Phara, founded in 2021 and built as an outlet for his raw, analogue productions. Fast-paced, stripped back and uncompromising floor tools.

His credentials speak for themselves: a debut album on Black Sun Records, followed by EPs on Soma, SK Eleven, Stockholm LTD, Planet Rhythm and Token, and a residency at Fuse in Brussels that has grown into a well-travelled booking schedule taking him to the floors of Berghain and beyond.

His vinyl-only DJ sets navigate fast rhythms, industrial atmospheres and dubbed-out pulses. In 2022 he debuted a live show built entirely around the Korg EMX-1, and in 2024 he introduced a second live project, In Glass, exploring slower and more spacious territory. Phaaar remains the constant: a direct, unfiltered outlet for his own output.

Psyk & Orbe unveil “Temporal Rift LP”, the definitive statement of their collaborative vision of hypnotic techno.

After years of sustained studio work, sonic research, and conceptual exploration, this album stands as the definitive consolidation of their collaborative project.

Born from the dialogue between two distinct yet complementary visions of techno — Orbe’s futuristic and immersive atmospheres, and Psyk’s hypnotic depth, stripped-back minimalism — the record unfolds as a carefully sculpted sonic journey. Tension, space, and texture take center stage, shaping an evolving narrative that progresses seamlessly from track to track.

More than a collection of individual cuts, the album embodies a cohesive and mature concept: a shared identity refined through countless hours of studio experimentation, critical listening, and synthesis. Here, the core essence of the project crystallizes — a point of convergence between atmosphere and impact, abstraction and functionality, introspection and raw dancefloor energy.

This release not only marks the culmination of an intensive creative cycle, but also signals the beginning of a new phase in their ongoing exploration of techno’s expressive potential.

Tracklist:

A1. Psyk & ORBE – Intro
A2. Psyk & ORBE – Grinder
A3. Psyk & ORBE – Temporal Rift
B1. Psyk & ORBE – Groov
B2. Psyk & ORBE – Forms

Yamasuki’s 1971 psychedelic pop cult favourite reissued

A delirious cult concept album disguised as pop, first released in 1971, where psychedelic grooves, funk and global rhythms meet phonetic pseudo-Japanese chants, judo-master ritual cries and a children’s choir. Sampled by Erykah Badu, Madlib and DopeLemon, and the unlikely spark behind Bananarama’s debut. This can only be the fabulous world of Yamasuki.

In the spring of 1971, somewhere between Brussels, Paris and a collective pop fever dream, Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki landed on vinyl. It sounded like nothing else then and it still does not today. More than half a century later, Sdban Records proudly presents a reissue of this singular cult album, available from April 3, 2026 on vinyl.

The album was produced by Jean Kluger and written both by Jean and Daniel Vangarde (aka Bangalter, later the father of Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk), who were already well ahead of their time, long before electronic music rewrote the rules of pop culture.

This new reissue of Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki proves the renewed interest and respect for this cult album, faithful to the original spirit while finally giving it back the physical presence it deserves. In an era obsessed with genres and algorithmic neatness, Yamasuki still laughs, dances and karate-kicks its way past definitions. It reminds us that pop music can be playful without being disposable, strange without being cynical and joyful without explanation. The world of Yamasuki was always fabulous, we are just lucky it found its way back to us!

Tracklist

A1. Yamasuki – Yamasuki
A2. Yamasuki – Aisere I Love You
A3. Yamasuki – Kono Samourai
A4. Yamasuki – Yamamoto Kakapote
A5. Yamasuki – Okawa
A6. Yamasuki – Aieaoa
B1. Yamasuki – Abana Bakana
B2. Yamasuki – Seyu Sayonara
B3. Yamasuki – Yama Yama
B4. Yamasuki – Fudji Yama
B5. Yamasuki – Yokomo
B6. Yamasuki – Kashi Kofima

Sdban will release Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki on April 3, 2026
