The LPs bring together tracks by Rocket favourites like Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Josefin hrn + The Liberation, Sex Swing, Gnoomes, Bonnacons of Doom and many more. These classic Rocket tracks have been pushed, pulled, stretched, dissected and some, completely re-imagined by an eclectic mix of incredible artists. These include some of the current leaders of electronic exploration like Nyege Nyeges Nihiloxia, Bristols Giant Swan and Oliver Hos Broken English Club. Remixes from the post-punk royalty of IDLES, to the untouchable, experimental sounds of Tomaga the albums also includes contributions from two of NTS Radios most acclaimed DJs, Optimos JD Twitch and the godlike Cherrystones, both exploring addictive bass churning sounds. The albums also see Rocket artists remixing their fellow label mates Mexicos J. Zunz unexpected remix of Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, GNODs Negra Branca remix of Greeces Kooba Tercu, and one of the stand out tracks, the 9 min+ Gnoomes remix of the Flowers Must Die song Hey, Shut Up.

Aphelion Vol.1 also includes a brand new, unreleased remix by Cage And Aviarys Jamie Paton and his krautdub take on J. Zunz track Four Women and Darkness. The results are a cauldron of repetitive sounds across two LPs taking in everything from psych, techno, krautrock, afro, noise, dub and all the other ingredients you would expect to find on a compilation released on the ever reliable Rocket Recordings. Each LP is ltd to 500 copies, with only 420 going to record shops (the other 80 are going to all artists/band members involved).
