The Story Unfolds | Code Eternity – The Beginning

Filed Under: News

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.

AES Dana | Leylines (Remaster 2025) – Pre-orders start today

Filed Under: News

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.

Ultimae Catalog migration update

Filed Under: News

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!

Ultimae releases temporarily offline | Migration in process…

Filed Under: News

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

Our Wishes for 2025

Filed Under: News

Greetings !

We thank you for joining us on this journey and for nurturing this shared passion for music that connects us all. May the year ahead bring you harmony, inspiration, moments of deep resonance and let’s craft a space where sound transcends boundaries, emotions flow freely, and peace finds its rhythm.

As we step into this new chapter, we reflect on the words of Leonard Bernstein, the legendary composer, conductor, and visionary who believed in the transformative power of music: “This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.”

With love and gratitude,
The Ultimae Team
