Transparent Sound (Orson Bramley) is a true cult architect of the UK electro scene. Since 1992, he’s been bridging the gap between Detroit techno, acid, and rave futurism. He now lands on No Static / Automatic for a very special release, The Lost Tapes — a new EP of lost recordings from the early 2000s London era. Dug out of DAT tapes and CDRs, recorded in Orson’s home studio with borrowed and loaned gear and car boot sale finds. Raw, unpolished, and proper electro history. The EP features 3 original tracks and a remix from NS/A label boss ARA-U .

ARA-U & Radioactive Man turn a bad situation into a great collection of tracks with their latest collaborative release The Houghton Blues EP. When cult Norfolk gathering Houghton Festival was cancelled in 2019 because of high winds, this pair had just bought some booze and were already on their way. After a moment’s sadness, they decided to turn bad news into good and head to the studio to work on some tracks. Across two sides of vinyl on ARA-U’s NO STATIC / AUTOMATIC label, the accomplished electro innovators once again serve up pure analogue vibes and raw machine funk.

ARA U - Hiber Nation EP

Hiber-nation EP was Recorded at Siesta Delfauno, Buenos Aires, Argentina in December 2019. A place steeped in history and that has seen artists like Carl Craig , DJ Hell and Rob Acid grace its halls. Ara-u worked alongside engineer and member of Argentinian electronic band Klauss Pablo Gil, while getting lost in red wine and deep into the jam amongst a mix of analogue machines.
