About the remixes
We’re proud to unveil two more remixes from Rumpistol’s award winning 2025 album, Nebula - this time, by Faek & Lapa, alongside the reworks previously released from 57º North, Foxtail, AYO & ISAN.
Ascension (Faek Remix)
First up, the legendary Mike Wallis, of Colony Productions, K.L.O, Crunch & more, returns with his drum & bass project, Faek, bringing the Nebula album opener into new light with a high octane and to the point rework of Ascension. Stripped down to its elements and rebuilt from scratch, Faek gives a masterclass in subtle evolutions and juxtaposition of atmosphere and purpose.
Air Born Again (Lapa Remix)
In contrast, Lapa brings a different flavor to the table with lush beds of harmony setting the foundation for an evolution on the album's closer, Air Born Again. A veteran violinist and producer in his own right, Lapa's unique style shines thru in the intricate interplay between melody and harmony and blending of electronics and traditional instruments to take the listener into his own little sonic ecosystem.
Above The Horizon (57° North Remix)
With their rich soundscapes, quirky melodies and epic vibe, 57° North is a brand new project consisting of Johannes Hedberg from the legendary Swedish ambient duo Carbon Based Lifeforms and Tore Kofod aka Erot. They met for the first time at the airport in Budapest, both on their way to Ozora Festival. They subsequently agreed to do a track together and 57° North was born. This spectacular remix of Above The Horizon is their first official release.
Pale Blue Dot (Foxtail Remix)
Utah-based artist Foxtail pays tribute to Carl Sagan and humanity’s curiosity, humility, and search for peace beyond Earth with his beautiful remix inspired by the Voyager Golden Record. Created over a year with deep care and respect, Foxtail’s remix of Pale Blue Dot reflects his reverence for one of humanity’s most enduring legacies - an artifact destined to outlast our planet itself.
Tralfamadore (AYO Remix)
Blending deep textures and emotional depth, the Danish artist AYO takes us on an 8-minute ambient journey to Tralfamdore. The track takes its name from Kurt Vonnegut’s fictional planet and is released on Vonnegut’s birthday, Nov 11th — a fitting cosmic tribute to the late, great author.
Cosmic Waltz (ISAN ‘Voyager I’ Remix)
If you have a copy of Nebula on vinyl, you’ll recognize the bonus track Cosmic Waltz. Dedicated to Voyager I, this minimal, yet elegant reinterpretation by the British IDM pioneers ISAN stirs a similar feeling of curiosity and hope that inspired a mission to launch humanities time-capsule into deep space, where it continues to push on all these decades later and a beacon of civilization in far away places.
Robin Saville and Antony Ryan celebrate their 30th anniversary of making music together as ISAN this year in 2026.
Original compositions and production by Jens Berents Christiansen aka Rumpistol.
Remixing, edits & additional production by Mike Wallis aka Faek (1), Ilya Goldberg aka Lapa (2), Felix Kallin aka Foxtail (3), Tore Kofod & Johannes Hedberg aka 57º North (4), Julie Schønherr Rosengreen aka AYO (5) and Robin Saville & Antony Ryan aka ISAN (6).

About RUST100
At the height of 2017, The Rust Music took on its second, present life as a music label, publication, and event promotion company. With little more than gumption and a vision, nearly 9 years of dedication turned into the extraordinary honor of hosting 99 EPs and LPs from a global variety of producers, musicians, and creatives. Now, just shy of our 9 year anniversary, we're ecstatic to unveil our 100th label release: RUST100, compiled in celebration of this milestone.
At 45 tracks, this compilation represents a plurality of our close friends, family, associates, and contemporaries that have thrown their weight in with our operation at some point through the last decade. Stretching from downtempo and trip-hop motifs to modern bass music, garage, and beyond, every composition feels like another cornerstone in the foundation of The Rust’s overall palette. The cast of characters we had the privilege to tap for this compilation is nothing short of a dream team, featuring the likes of Chalky and Seppa, Primate, Easyjack, Zonra, parkbreezy, and another 40 or so members of our extended universe of sound.
Whether you're just tuning into The Rust Music for the first time, or you've been with us since our nascent days on Brooklyn rooftops, RUST100 is the next definitive source for our collective grooves and hues in electronic music, and we can't wait for you to dive in.

Bringing a distilled blend of music from Lake Tahoe, CA, Connor McLeod synthesizes his experiences as a multi-instrumentalist and producer into his Sycamore Sound project. With its roots in jazz, hip-hop, and their electronic intersections, there's an undeniable layer of skill underpinning his creative output. For The Rust Music’s 99th release, we are supremely excited to present McLeod’s latest minted work, the Temporal Loop EP.
Wearing his influences on his sleeve, it’s clear that McLeod has found a clear, vibrant concoction bordering on trip-hop’s instrumental drive. Hard hitting low-end comes with surprising force, laying down solid rhythmic foundations across the runtime of Temporal Loop. Its percussion is laser focused on the broken-beat lane, maintaining a strict adherence to head-hod fundamentals. Between confident chord phrasing and proper sampling etiquette, the entire release balances its constituent ingredients with the kind of ease that bona fide instrumentalists bring to the table. No matter what angle you approach Temporal Loop from, Sycamore Sound effuses a vibe that’s guaranteed to sit in your musical pocket.

SHIFT - B.O.M.B.S.
About B.O.M.B.S.
Adding to the catalog, we're tapping into the talents of the stalwart Salt Lake City, Utah based producer SHIFT. Running on 15 years of experience in songwriting and production, coupled with his formative years embedded in the L.A. rave scene, his focus is dialed in on a blended interpretation of modern bass music, properly weaving through the sound system-centric subgenres that dominate the contemporary space. B.O.M.B.S., his latest dual-sided adventure, appropriates elements from drum and bass, breakbeat, and UKG to effectively translate his vision.
Between the eponymous track B.O.M.B.S. and its associate, P.R.I.M.P., it's all undulated bass lines from start to finish. Whip-sharp snares and snappy percussive textures bring fresh air across both tracks, with a smattering of dancefloor rhythms meeting in the middle. Switching seamlessly between half-time and full-time drum lines, replete with guttural synthesis in as many forms, it's clear SHIFT is a product of his varied environments. He's clearly done his homework on both the compositional and production ends of the game, and the payoff is an altogether explosive 1-2 bass bin punch to the chest.
For fans of low-slung bass lines and rambunctious groove, B.O.M.B.S. is certain to become a mainstay in your headphones this year.

About Echoes Of Dust
Starting the year off on a choice note, the first minted Rust Music release for the year of 2026 arrives as Echoes of Dust, a collaborative EP between Denver-based EOS and Minneapolis-based Wicker’s Portal. Built on a shared love of detailed sound design, deep low end, and melodic interplay, the project came together through a careful and deliberate exchange of ideas. The result is a record that feels fluid and alive, balancing atmospheric space with moments of forward motion and intensity.
Cracking into the first pulsating minutes of Echoes of Dust puts the scintilla of sound at full volume, with a clear show out of the synthesis on display throughout the entire record. It’s immediately dynamic, stretching from subtly tuned sub weight to the clear syncopation of call-and-response songwriting. It was envisioned to give space to ambient textures and intense frequency warping in the same breath, choosing neither the entirely frenetic nor particularly tame paths in each song's arrangement, but instead combining those sensibilities in an altogether different kind of listening experience.
Broken beat rhythms meandering between drum and bass, downtempo, and IDM grooves keep the pace refreshing and engaging, bringing the macro listening experience across five unique tracks to a series of emotional highs and explorative lows. Judged against the contemporary backdrop, Echoes of Dust is inarguably standout, demonstrating a matured compositional approach to the often high-brow dynamics of niche electronic music in this form.
