Label Description: Collected together for the first time, this five-CD box set brings together the various works from the Music For Real Airports project.
The collection not only includes Music For Real Airports, Music For Airport Lounges, and Music For Dead Airports, but also features a substantial amount of new, unheard material, alternate mixes and live recordings taken from our archive. This second box set reflects a long and uneasy relationship with airports.
After years spent sitting in airports, travelling to and from gigs, we have seen past the polished surfaces and the promises of comfort and efficiency. They present a controlled fiction, a managed calm built on delay, surveillance and routine.
Across five hours of music, much of it previously unheard and available for the first time, the box set confronts the modern reality of travel and the corporate structures that shape it. The music documents these spaces as they are experienced rather than as they are sold.
Aspetuck has been steadily carving out a name for himself through releases on Never Late and Oslated, garnering a respected following for his DJ mixes and festival performances. Aspetuck’s latest record, Immersion, was sequenced and curated from dozens of ideas spanning a transformative few years in Griff’s life. The album is less a snapshot in time and more of a memory bank – flashes of fatherhood, loss, modular rabbit holes, late-night studio sessions, and long walks by the Hudson River with his daughter.
The emotional undertow of the album is immediate. Opener, Hit Me With Your Pet Shark, is one of the earliest compositions in the collection, created just months after the loss of Griff’s brother and during the sleepless swirl of new parenthood. Built around a single sound from Spectrasonics Omnisphere, found while rediscovering his brother’s studio gear, the track sets the tone: restrained yet searching, personal without becoming precious.
From there, The Printing Press captures the raw energy of a live jam in Griff’s upstate New York basement, running through a 1980s Tascam mixer like a lo-fi assembly line of synths, pads, and drum machines. REI, named after a spontaneous family mission to find a pink water bottle, encapsulates his knack for imprinting daily minutiae into sound. And title track Immersion- once known simply as “Tuesday 303 Jam”- emerges from a dinner break and a blender, distilling modular sketches and distorted drums into a powerful, slow-motion march.
Under, Under The Tree hits hardest. Built around a grainy iPhone voice memo of Griff’s daughter singing by the Hudson. And closing the album is Bobik, a collaborative studio session with Moon Patrol channeling the playful chaos of a close friendship and modular exploration. Named after a joke about their golden retriever and filled with alien textures from Griff’s beloved EMU XL7 gifted years ago by his late brother, it’s a fitting send-off to an album that straddles celebration and mourning with grace.
The artwork comes courtesy of Peter Skwiot Smith, whose textured analog/digital aesthetic resonated immediately with Griff’s original vision. Peter’s treatment draws on Griff’s personal photography and leans into motion, blur, and the layered nature of memory, echoing the album’s sonic tone without overexplaining it.
Mastered by Sven Weisemann, Immersion is available on blue smoke colored 12” and digital

After making some bump music for the first season, I decided to try making something more coherent for future episodes.
I’m still not great at ableton but I learned a lot doing this one. The two tribute tracks involved attempts to reproduce music that inspired me as a means of learning the software better.

INTERVIEW __________
George Ernst (Triplicate Records): It’s been a while, so I’ll simply ask, how are you and what have you been up to?
Dr. Chelsea Bruno (Eden Grey): Been pretty good, thanks.. working on a lot of projects, the CV FREQS events, teaching, writing articles, modular synth workshops and composing. I released my last album in August of 2025 called “In the Forest of Fangorn” with EC Underground. I’ve also been working on my doll project quite a bit, making and showing my handmade dolls, and some of them have found new homes. I love the doll project because it is another place where I find peace in their stillness and silence, where I find a different kind of sound meditation in exploring sounds I create with my modular synth.
GE: How did the Nomadic collaborations come about? They’re excellent! I hope you two can work together again!
CB: Nomadic is an old friend who played one of the first electro shows I ever booked, and he resurfaced again in my sphere after more than a decade. I suggested he should send some drums, which he did with a few synth sounds mixed in and I just spent a lot of time adding to them and making a nice arrangement for both of the tracks that he is featured on. It gives another personality to my work to collab, to see what comes out, collabs often work out really nicely, so I am sure we will be working together again.
GE: Seeing Space in the Finite is a real trippy and heavy title. Can you talk about what that sentence entails to you, and the broader musical themes of Timewarp?
CB: This track I made with the intention for it to represent a Boards of Canada style beat. I made the beat very much inspired by their tracks and then I wanted it to sound like the other synth themes were also familiar too. Coincidentally they have resurfaced this year, when I made this track in the holiday season to also give it some of that nostalgic feel. Space is forever, and what is finite, is not forever. Phosphorescent also reminds me of my early inspiration from Boards of Canada. I am interested in the ways we experience time differently as individuals in our environments. It is a somewhat mysterious concept.
GE: Do you think an elephant would stand and politely sway their trunk to Timewarp? I reckon they would.
CB: Yes, I do think, and a manatee would swim with it underwater too…
GE: Night Tripper is one of my favorite things I’ve heard you make, or heard in general in fact. Can you talk about that one and the effort that went into making it? I’m being selfish I realize but whatever, I like this song a lot and I wanna hear more about it!
CB: I’m so glad you like it.. yes, it is a special song, its evolution, I like the way it changes but keeps you in the same space. Also, sometimes, oftentimes I stay up late at night working on music to get the vibe I am after. And then it has a whole new type of magic when you hear it during the day. To me, it has an equal mixture of dark and light.

There isn’t much known about Crystal Voyager & UFOm, the two musicians that created “Universe People.” We do know that it’s an album of deep ambience and weirdo sonic exploration; simultaneously harnessing lulling sounds and celestial vibrations alongside more visceral sonic encounters that exist somewhere else entirely.
As previously reported from last year’s “Aliens Are Real” by UFOm, the artist has ties to a low-profile religious organization which necessitates their secrecy. Thankfully, we do have a message from the duo to accompany this release: “From the far recesses of deep space, messages have been telepathically received and interpreted into aural vibrations used to open the pathways of communication between mankind and beings that exist outside our observable universe.” Due to the privacy requested by these two artists, this is all we are able to share with you for now, so continue to widen your mind, open your ears and keep watching the skies.

Chaircrusher has found his way back onto the main stage of the Triplicate roadhouse. He’s exhaling more beautifully bizarre and mesmerizing compositions for your listening pleasure with the same laid back yet experimental vigour that made last year’s 3Phase such a rewarding listen. Pick up Stars have Fallen right the heck now. It’s every bit as grandiose and fascinating to listen to as the heaviness of the title implies.
