Scheduled for release in November, Tribology is a 50-track compilation put together by British techno master Ben Sims which seeks to explore modern techno in the quick-fire delivery method Sims is very well known for.
Machine, the label that Sims runs with Kirk Degiorgio, will be pushing out the special release digitally, but also via a series of vinyl samplers and a limited run cassette starting in mid-November 2018.
Many of today’s top techno acts are featured in the colossal compilation, including Steffi, Robert Hood, Luke Slater, Mark Broom, Rod, Truncate and Oscar Mulero, just to name a few.
Juxtaposing the release, Machine will be hitting the road for its annual tour throughout the fall, starting off on August 31st with the first of two festival appearances at Field Maneuvers before moving onto major citie ssuch as Belgrade, Basel, Lyon, Hamburg, Berlin, Athens, Helsinki, Dockyard Festival in Amsterdam and a fabric takeover on Nov 3rd. Joining Sims and Degiorgio on these shows are a selection of fantastic selectors including Dax J, DVS1, Steffi, DJ Bone, Blawan, Sandrien, Dr. Rubinstein and Dasha Rush, with more to be announced as the label readies up for its 7th year of operation.
