“Back to 808” itself was born from a unique role reversal between long-time collaborators: after CUBIC had previously reworked METROLAND’s “The Colour Temperature”, Passenger S of 808 DOT POP / METROLAND reshaped “Back to Basic” into a retro-futuristic synth voyage where vintage electronics, melody, and technology merge seamlessly.

On “CB-708”, these songs appear in alternative 7” versions, tighter and more direct than the album cuts. Focused on hooks, structure, and instant impact, they reconnect CUBIC’s refined synth pop with classic single-format efficiency – a perfect entry point back into the “Back to 808” universe.

Rooted in the “Back to 808” album — Passenger S’s deep reimagining of CUBIC’s “Back to Basic” using original stems, newly recorded melodies, and the unmistakable 808 DOT POP aesthetic – these versions lean into movement and immersion. They allow CUBIC’s retro-futuristic synth language to unfold fully, balancing melodic sophistication with club-ready dynamics.

Together with “CB-708”, “CB-128” brings “Back to 808” back into the spotlight – not as a remix project, but as a living, breathing collaboration between friends, machines, and decades of electronic heritage.

This is not your average remix album. Loaded with CUBIC’s original stems – kicks, hi-hats, bass sequences, and effects – and fused with freshly recorded melodies, sequences, and samples, “Back to 808” elevates itself into something more profound: an 808 DOT POP album in all but name.

Faithful to the band’s trademark DNA, “Back to 808” unveils a more melodic, intricate, and immersive dimension of CUBIC’s work, prioritizing the listening experience over the dancefloor punch. It’s a seamless blend of retro-futuristic synths, vocoder textures, and electronic storytelling rooted in the aesthetic universe of 808 DOT POP.

Across 11 tracks — from the transformed “Art In,” “Human Computer,” “Offline,” and “Titt,” to the exclusive “2MFHD” – every piece has been reimagined with meticulous precision. The result is a hypnotic, conceptual voyage where technology and melody intertwine, celebrating both the past and the future of electronic pop.

Visually, the album artwork stays faithful to the retro-commemorative C64 aesthetic of “Back to Basic”, yet cleverly adapts to reflect its rebirth under the “Back to 808” identity.

A conceptual collaboration, a respectful reinvention, and above all a celebration of friendship through sound, “Back to 808” is destined to delight every fan of 808 DOT POP and lovers of finely crafted synth music alike.

Across 7 tracks, “EFM02” captures the essence of CUBIC’s trademark sound: 808-style drum programming, hypnotic bass modulation, computerized vocals and razor-sharp sequencing – all injected with rave energy, breakbeats and four-to-the-floor drive. Opening cuts “Binary Code” and “Nanobots” are pure electro bangers, while “OFM” and “My Home Computer” appear here in fresh alternative versions, reshaping the vinyl takes for the digital realm. “TCM” pushes further into club territory – a dark, relentless dance track that wouldn’t feel out of place in a set by THE HACKER, while RT28XO evolves from a shelved demo into a fully fleshed-out exclusive electro weapon. Closing the EP, the long-awaited original mix of “I Travel” reveals its darker, more industrial core, driven entirely by the Modor DR2 drum computer.

Like “EFM01”, the artwork for “EFM02” is a direct nod to the Modor DR2, underlining the band’s deep connection to analog machines and hardware aesthetics.

For those who missed out on the strictly limited vinyl, “EFM02” is your chance to experience the full spectrum of CUBIC’s uncompromising electro vision – raw, precise, and designed for both the dancefloor and the underground.

Flip to the B‑side and brace yourself: ACIDULANT from Malta detonates an 808 warhead under “I Travel”, guaranteed to rip open any dance floor, before CUBIC glide into “OFM”, a melodic late‑night cruiser that proves you can still be lush while staying 100 % electro. MILLIMETRIC then drags “I Travel” down into the steel‑grey shadows of Düsseldorf, twisting the groove into something darker, harder, irresistible.

Every record comes housed in artwork inspired by the legendary Modor DRM1 drumcomputer – designed with Modor’s own blessing. You can only snag this black‑vinyl beauty directly from CUBIC, the official Alfa Matrix store, and some selected e-shops.

CUBIC’s latest offering stays true to its roots, relying solely on hardware synths, drum computers, and effects featuring relentless basslines, vocoder voices, and 4/4 kicks – the unmistakable sound of C-UBIC.

The opening track, “Computer Alphabet,” not only sets the tone but also serves as a nod to the first CUBIC full album, “The CUBIC Alphabet.” Vocals are delivered by the iconic Speak and Spell computer from Mattel, adding a touch of retro charm. Classic electro tracks pay homage to the genre’s resurgence in the 90s channelling influences from Anthony Rother, Dopplereffect, and Cybotron., while modern twists in ‘ART INN’ and ‘Pleasure Machine’ blend electro, techno, and EBM.

“Back To Basic” also boasts the unique use of the first Belgian Drumcomputer (Modor DR2) and its synthesizer counterpart (Modor NF1), complemented by an arsenal of hardware gear allowing CUBIC to create a unique sonic palette that transcends boundaries, setting the tone for an electrifying future.

This is the unmistakable and timeless sound of C-UBIC – a sonic experience not to be missed.

The new EP features exclusive club oriented and extended versions of “Art In” and “Human Computer”. While “MF2HD” is an exclusive non-album track, CUBIC takes us by surprise by releasing a powerful EBM/industrial dance mix of “B C L” by label-mates DIFFUZION reminding us of the diversity of CUBIC’s electronic sound.

Belgian electronic artist Franky Deblomme announces the forthcoming release of CUBIC’s new studio album that will offer an exploding cocktail of 808 drums, KRAFTWERK percussions, 80’s floppy discs and other vintage personal computer souvenirs…

Effective basslines, vocoder voices, percussion sounds and 4/4 kicks: this is the sound of CUBIC.

In order to best prepare your ears for this new pure electronic bliss, CUBIC now releases this 4-track EP “c64” evoking nothing but the good old Commodore 64 computer – nostalgia!

The opening track “TITT” sets the tone and can somehow be described as a classic electro track with its mix of 808 style drums, a dreiklangsdimensionen snare, lots of HQ percussion sounds, analog basslines and vocoder voices. Electro boogie at its best! “OFFLINE” comes next with a more distorted sound and a hard hitting kick and its cool “Novation “bass station 2” synth feel, inviting us to all go offline in the mad mad computer world we all live in… “Art In” and its 4/4 kicks, effective bassline (Analogue Solutions ‘Fusebox synth) and classic Moog Sub 37 patch as lead sound takes us back to the sound of THE HACKER or yet COMMUTER! While the final cut “B C L” (standing for Basic Computer Language) is a sort of homage to the master of electro Anthony Rother with its 90’s like bassline made with the Modor NF-1, probably the only synthesizer ever made in Belgium!

As always with CUBIC’s distinctive sound, all tracks have been created using hardware gear only. “Nothing beats the fun of twiddling knobs”, says Franky Deblomme.

This is the sound of C-UBIC.

With the conceptual approach of revisiting his personal past influences, this time CUBIC brings us to the aftermath of the rave scene in which Manchester was a pioneering scene introducing emerging influential acts in the likes of ORBITAL, SYSTEM 7, 808STATE or yet APHEX TWIN, all of which shaped the foundation of CUBIC’s music roots.

The opener “Atlantic State” immediately evokes the early 90’s with its early 808STATE type of atmosphere: chill vibe, summer feeling, breakbeats… Pure nostalgia! The rave party continues then with the 2 “Polygon” tracks bringing us closer to ORBITAL and the unavoidable APHEX TWIN!

The EP then gets augmented by a floor packing remix by Peter Bellaert (known as MINIMALISTIX and also his recent retro-House project RETRO BELGICA) that could nicely fit in a DJ set list of MACEO PLEX or KOLSH. Last but not least comes the second remix by LECTREAU, the solo-project of Passenger A of METROLAND fame.
