With new rules in place about tariffs, the French Post Office is not able to ship to the U.S.A. at the moment even though there is an exception for “informational media” which includes vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, books, sheet music, and other items.
Right now, carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express are still shipping to the U.S.A., but prices might be higher than usual. Besides, although we write clear information on the package content and provide HS codes there could still be some delays with these services or customs, and we can’t promise everything will go perfectly.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
With our warmest regards,
The Ultimae Team

AES Dana‘s Leylines vinyls arrived at the Ultimae offices on wednesday. Looking, feeling, sounding as we expected.
Since then we’ve been packing your records as fast, but especially as carefully, as we can and shipping to you.
As AES Dana will be joining some of the Ultimae artists at the Ozora Festival for a few days, things will pause briefly on the logistic front.
Our aim is to have all orders on their way by the end of the week.
We thank you sincerely for your understanding and support.
With warm regards,
The Ultimae Team

Every story has a beginning.
Ours began with a sound.
Deep, luminous, aetherial.
At the time, the label was called Infinium Records, a name that would soon evolve into Ultimae.
Asura was then a trio composed of Charles Farewell, Christopher Maze, and Vincent Villuis, who would later leave the band to found AES Dana and co-create H.U.V.A. Network with Solar Fields.
Code Eternity became our foundation, a collection of soundscapes where dreams and memories converge. Each track carried the promise of something greater: a space for introspection, a journey through emotion, a vision beyond borders.
A journalist once described it as:
“Ambient with a real kick.”
We couldn’t have said it better.
We didn’t yet know how far this music would take us, how it would resonate across time, geographies and people.
But we felt it in our bones: this was the start of something…
Code Eternity is still with us.
Thank you for listening, then and now.

Greetings,
We’re truly joyous to share the return of a very special album, AES Dana’s Leylines is being reissued in a newly reedited and remastered version.
Originally released in 2009, Leylines quickly became a pivotal work in Villuis’s career. What few people knew at the time is that the album was composed in its entirety twice: after a catastrophic disk crash destroyed the original version and one year of work, Villuis entered a period of deep introspection before starting over. This shock led not only to emotional reckoning but also to a complete reinvention of his creative process.
Leylines became the foundation for a new compositional language, one built on a fresh sonic palette, renewed patterns, and a more sculptural approach to sound. The final result was more distilled, more intentional, and marked a turning point in his musical trajectory. Upon release, the album reached #1 on the iTunes USA Electronic Music charts, establishing itself as a landmark within the genre.

The migration of the Ultimae catalog is well underway. We’ve now submitted nearly all of our releases to Virgin Music Group, our new digital distributor handling delivery to all streaming and download platforms worldwide.
It may take a few more days, depending on each platform and region, for everything to show up properly. Let’s say things should be back in place by early next week.
If you notice anything missing or run into access issues, feel free to reach out by email to info@ultimae.com. We’re almost there! 
Greetings,
We wanted to let you know that we are currently migrating the entire catalogue to our new digital distribution partner: Virgin Music Group.
The switch was planned for a later date, but we noticed this weekend that Empire, the previous distributor, pressed the delete button a bit too early…
As with any big change, there are a few bumps along the road, so you will notice that most albums, EPs and compilations are temporarily unavailable on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or others. Please bear with us, we’re doing everything we can to speed up the process and hope to have all productions back online by the end of the week.
We’ll keep you posted as things progress and, in the meantime, thank you for your patience, trust, and support.
With warm regards,
The Ultimae Team
