Aphelion Recordings marks it's 30th anniversary with the release of a long-awaited EP featuring the iconic track Arrest and remixes by techno legends.Zugzwang's debut EP was released in 1995 on their own Aphelion Recordings, sounding like an instant classic. Four tracks of fully formed ambient techno: deep, immersive and richly textured. Despite being hitherto unknown, this music held it's own against the best of it's peers: Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, etc. With original copies changing hands for over £250, it is today recognized as an iconic, timeless piece of British electronica. The heart-stoppingly beautiful 'Euphonic' was recently included in arbiters of good taste Ivan Smagghe and Ivan Ivkovic's 'IDMEMO' compilation.Zugzwang, also working under the aliases Aphelion and Replicant, went on to become electronic cult heroes. They released on Worm Interface and Ambient Soho Records and were featured on the celebrated ALT Frequencies compilation alongside artists like Gescom and Autechre. They were on the cusp of signing a deal with Jeff Mills on his Axis Recordings, and Tom Middleton once called the family landline to wax lyrical about their work.Now, 30 years after APH001, Aphelion Recordings is proud to announce APH003. This is both a vital historical document and a forward-looking statement of intent. This new EP revives the legendary 'Arrest' track in it's original form, sounding as timeless as it did in 1995. Alongside the original mix, the EP features three killer remixes by some of electronic music's most celebrated figures: Nuron, Voyance (Ben Sims & Nick Dunton), and Mike Golding of B12.
