Rings of Neptune at Fitzroy

Rings of Neptune has been curating showcases and intimate gatherings since its inception five years ago. From audiophile havens like Amsterdam’s Doka and Berlin’s Club der Visionaere to larger dancefloors and festivals across Europe, the agency-turned-collective has consistently highlighted artists with refined musical sensibilities and remarkable talent. Now, for the first time, Rings of Neptune brings its signature atmosphere to Fitzroy—an intimate space for a close-knit gathering of like-minded artists who share a deep passion for their craft.

For this edition, Rings of Neptune invites Berlin-based french artist Lamache. Through years of touring and his projects—Discobar, Plantasia, and now Anima—Thibault has built a legacy of musical storytelling, crafting sets that take listeners on a journey. His deep connection to the craft and instinctive approach make him a truly special guest for this occasion.

Stellar Systems, the latest imprint from the Rings of Neptune crew, readies its first release, “Archived Dreams” — a four-track EP signed by Berlin-based techno luminary Michael Melchner. Drawing influences between electro-charged techno and IDM-tinged minimalism, “Archived Dreams” explores cosmic, genre-blending themes through high-octane machine funk and tons of atmosphere. Crafted with pure analog equipment, the four tracks of the EP capture Melchner’s dedication to pushing sonic boundaries while channelling the raw energy of 90s electronic music.

The EP opens with ‘Archived Dreams’ (A1), a powerfully hypnotic track of pulsating drums and mesmerizing melodies, layered modular sequences and subtle percussion, setting an entrancing tone. Decollage (A2) dives into breakbeat territory, balancing intricate, syncopated rhythms with deep basslines and shimmering synths. On the B-side, Berlin Phenomena(B1) delivers a groove-laden, robotic vibe—a testament to Melchner’s knack for crafting infectious, funk-inspired rhythms. Closing out the EP, ‘OE Underground’ (B2) ramps up the intensity, blending raw, mechanical beats with intricate melodic threads to create an entrancing, slightly euphoric finale.

Stellar Systems emerges as an exciting extension of the Rings of Neptune collective dedicated to explore electronic music’s rich sonic landscape. From deep, leftfield groovers to dynamic dancefloor stompers, Stellar Systems aims to capture a galactic range of sounds and styles. Michael Melchner, with his body of work — spanning solo projects and collaborations like Omega Men — and his esteemed reputation in the underground techno scene, aligns perfectly with the label’s ethos.
