As you may already know, he runs the label Magnonic Signals, but also releases on labels such as Subwax, Specimen, NightFlight, and RF.
He originally sent us a selection of tracks for the label compilation "Art Form 3," as well as a collection of tracks. At that point, the album was titled "Breathing Style," and the concept was solidified.
However, we decided to include some of the tracks in the compilation, so we changed the composition a bit.
There are many tracks with very strong beats, and although he is an artist from the 2000s or later, you can feel the influence of Detroit techno and electro from before that.
We encourage you to listen to this album along with his other works.
Tracks
He was influenced by Detroit techno and Chicago house, and has released two EPs on Bandcamp so far. You can feel those influences in this album.
He sent us some tracks to FORM@ RECORDS. At first, we were planning to select only the tracks to be included in the label's compilation "Art Form 3", but the other songs were also great, so we added more tracks and finished the album.
We heard that after the release of this album, he will take a break from making and producing tracks for a while. These are tracks that you can't hear anywhere else. We hope you will get it and listen to it.

As you know, he has been a central figure in the label since its inception in the 1990s, providing tracks for the label. After that, the label went on a long hiatus, but he resumed his activities in 2023, which led to the label being restarted, and he produced his first new album in 25 years, "Standalone," and at the same time, the label was restarted.
Since then, his activities have been remarkable, and he has released a series of albums from well-known labels such as Darren Nye's label SpaceTime and Moutan 7. He has also started distributing unreleased valuable sound sources from Virgo's personal artist page.
And he has once again delivered a new album to FORM@ RECORDS. We would like everyone to listen to this album, which he himself describes as his confident work.

FORM@ RECORDS will be introducing Erell Ranson, who is based in France, for the first time. As many of you may know, he has released numerous works on labels such as AW Recordings, Nice & Nasty, Subway, Mighty Force, and Distant Worlds.
He was introduced to techno around 1990 on a radio show by the great French techno artist Laurent Garnier. Since then, he has not only listened to music, but also started DJing himself, and eventually started making his own music. He continues to create works that are heavily influenced by Detroit techno and early British IDM.
Tracks
Although it is not a sub-label of FORM@ RECORDS, did you know that there is a series called "Slit Art"? The concept is to freely release tracks that are not bound by genre. The first Slit Art was the Dendrobium EP released in the past. Since then, there have been no releases as Slit Art.
However, this time, the second installment has finally been released.
The artist is Mitseliy.
This is not techno. Ambient, drone, feel recording, healing, instrumental, ambient shoegaze might be more appropriate expressions.
I recommend listening to them repeatedly.
Go into the forest and calm your mind and refresh yourself.

Following "Night Works EP," this is the second release of Virgo's excavated recordings from FORM@ RECORDS. This time, we've selected tracks from their older works with the theme of "forest."
Don't you think "Beyond The Dense Forest" is a great work that explodes with Virgo's unique style? It's a masterpiece from Virgo's early days in the late 1990s.
Go into the forest and calm your mind and refresh yourself.

We are very happy to release Darren Nye's new album "From Space Time To Another Dimension" following "Formation" released in July 2004.
As you know, he runs his own label SpaceTime and has released many works on many labels and has many fans.
Despite his busy schedule, he created 15 new tracks for FORM@ RECORDS and completed the album beautifully.
We will continue to have a friendly relationship with Darren Nye and SpaceTime, respect each other, and cooperate with each other.

We bring you FOSSIL's "excavation EP". FOSSIL is another name for VIRGO.
FORM@ RECORDS selected tracks that were a little different from VIRGO's style from the vast amount of unreleased tracks created as VIRGO, and decided to revive the FOSSIL name. We think this is a new side of VIRGO.
We hope that you will enjoy them, along with VIRGO.

We are proud to present VIRGO's new mini-album.
This was made possible by an offer from FORM@ RECORDS to release a selection of "night" themed tracks from VIRGO's vast collection of unreleased new tracks.
He graciously agreed and five great tracks were chosen.
We hope you have a great night.

He creates a warm deep sound with lush pads, and detroit style rhythms and intricate melodies that are reminiscent of the UK style of the 90's which gives the listener insight of his inspiration throughout the years, he began his journey into music production in 1995 and he says that those times were very special to him and wants to bring this sound to modern day.

25 years have passed since their second album in 1999, and in 2024, VIRGO has finally released their third album. Moreover, it is composed of completely new original tracks.
It is a digital IDM sound that is an extension of their second album "Remnants". We hope that their fans will enjoy the timeless sound that doesn't feel like there has been a 25-year gap at all.

It's been a year since the previous work "LANDFORM CODE", which was evaluated as the best compilation album as a debut album and became the label's biggest hit. Finally the second album was released. The quality of the album is higher in terms of sound and content, and although it is in the field of listening techno, it is finished as an album that feels a spread beyond the category. A pure techno sound that you can listen to for a long time, not just an acoustic work that sticks to skill, but also an easy one that repeats endlessly. To all music fans.

Artists inside and outside the label can freely remix the tracks released by FORM @ RECORDS so far! Missing Project by Yuji TECHNOuchi who released as many as 5 singles from R&S under the name of Mr.YT and Disposable. Hideyuki Eto released the first Japanese single from Synewave NY known as Damon Wild. Machine Funk, which has been recognized by Kenny Larkin. VIRGO and DENDROBIUM have already released albums from FORM@ RECORDS. A gorgeous artist called DJ LEFTBROWN's solo Misty Fuzz, which is also released as an ambient unit MAG-NET-WALKER, participates. Best works that transcend genres from house, minimal to abstract and ambient.

The first memorable release of FORM @ RECORDS'new series "SLIT ART" is a EP by Kentaro Magari who also participated in the compilation "ART FORM 1". Even though it is a EP, the content is enough to be called an album. Raw sound sampling system abstract, heads thing. A group of high-quality songs that can be listened to, unlike those that pursue only maniac like other labels.

VIRGO's first album that received high acclaim for providing "First Epilogue" to the compilation "ART FORM 1". Rather than making it for this album, it is the best compilation album selected from the songs that VIRGO made after 1994. The atmosphere is intentionally unified in order to give the whole album a VIRGO feel. It is one of the few masterpiece albums of listening techno in Japan.

The second FORM @ RECORDS is the first compilation album. There is no particular musical concept such as techno or ambient, and I think that you are the first artist to hear it, but it contains tracks by artists who will be active in the early FORM @ RECORDS. Of course, the label concept is that it is a song that you can listen to and enjoy.

FORM @ RECORDS The first memorable release is the first album of solo unit PENANCE by aKira Yamamoto. Created under the grand theme of "human life and death that revolves forever," this work is not just an ear-friendly healing music, but also incorporates ambient techno elements. It's a work that you can keep listening to for a long time so that it doesn't end with a fad. One piece that I would like people who have not experienced ambient to listen to.
