More than a decade ago, Martin Vice and Michael Banel pushed psychedelic techno into uncharted territory with their visionary album The Sleeper Must Awaken. The record didn't just expand the genre's sonic palette, it redefined it. Among its standout moments was Who We Are, a track that pulsed with hypnotic intensity and forward-thinking production, leaving a lasting imprint on dance floors and deep listeners alike. Now, in 2026, that legacy resurfaces through a bold new lens. Westerby steps into the story with his own interpretation of "Who We Are," transforming the original into something strikingly personal and contemporary. Rather than simply revisiting the past, he reimagines itreshaping its textures, energy, and emotional weight into a version that stands firmly on its own. This is not just a remix; it's a reinvention. A dialogue across time. Where the original carved new pathways for psychedelic techno, Westerby's 2026 vision opens another dimension.

Sometimes, the right path finds you. Iboga Records proudly presents Rite of Passage, a transcendent new compilation curated by label heads Emok & Banel. More than just a collection of tracks, this release embodies the essence of transformation, connection, and the profound moments that define our journey. The compilations name and artwork were born from a chance encounter at Fusion Festival 2023, where the energy of the moment led to deep conversations about music, spirituality, and the sacred African plant medicine, Iboga. Inspired by this serendipitous meeting, Rite of Passage weaves together genre-defying, driving soundscapes that guide listeners on a journey beyond the dancefloor—into realms of introspection and sonic euphoria. Music is the answer—it transcends boundaries and weaves souls together.
