What happens when two long-time friends and partners in sound once again switch roles in their creative playground? After CUBIC had completely reimagined “The Colour Temperature” into the acclaimed “Cubic Temperature” album, it is now Passenger S of 808dotpop(also one half of cult vintage synth act METROLAND) who takes on the challenge of reshaping CUBIC’s “Back to Basic” into a brand-new sonic entity: “Back to 808”.
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.

Hot on the heels of their sold-out vinyl experiment “EFM01”, Belgian electro act CUBIC returns with “EFM02”, a digital EP that both complements the exclusive vinyl 12” and expands the sonic universe unveiled on the recent “Back to Basics” album.
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.

Following the release of the full album 'Back to Basics,' it became evident that CUBIC was embracing an electro sound. This five-track vinyl takes that exploration even further.
The first remix comes from the talented Commuter (France), whose 2019 album 'Machines and Regrets' is a true work of art. The track 'I Travel' has been transformed into a quintessential French electro piece, perfectly suited for a DJ set by The Hacker or Miss Kittin. With its classic electro bass line, steady 4/4 kick, and layered strings, this track is sure to get you moving.
The second track, 'My Home Computer' (in its original form), would have seamlessly blended into the full album. It features pure electro vibes, enhanced by a vocoder voice and lyrics that many will find familiar.
On the b-side, CUBIC kicks off with a remix by Acidulant (Malta). This track boasts an incredible 808 kick that drives the energy, making it a guaranteed dancefloor hit!
Next up is the second original track, 'OFM,' which is another pure electro offering, but this time with a beautifully melodic main theme.
The final track features a remix by Millimetric (France), whose version carries a rhythm reminiscent of the iconic sounds from Düsseldorf. This remix has a darker, more ominous feel.
The artwork for this EP draws inspiration from the layout of the Modor DRM1 Drumcomputer and was created with the endorsement of this Belgian synth and drum machine manufacturer.
The original version of 'I Travel' will be released at a later date.

The new “Back To Basic” full length album is out now !
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.

Before the release of the new “Back To Basic” full length album, CUBIC comes out with a second 4-track EP. Titled after the legendary Commodore C128, this EP is the obvious logical successor to the previous “c64” EP.
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.
