The Airborne Underground
[TEMPO] is a doujin music circle based in the United States, representing the "airborne underground" with unique music and aesthetics inspired by aviation and flight games.
Our Mission
We create visions of an alternate present through music that bridges the gap between nostalgic underground dance scenes and modern electronic production. Our sound draws deeply from decades of underground culture while pushing forward into uncharted sonic territory.
Label Philosophy
As a doujin circle, we operate with creative freedom and independence, allowing our artists to explore unconventional sounds and themes. We believe in the power of music to transport listeners to alternate realities where aviation culture meets underground dance floors.
Our Sound
Our catalog spans electronic genres with a focus on atmospheric, cinematic productions that evoke the feeling of flight and exploration. From ambient soundscapes to driving techno, each release tells a story of aerial adventure and underground culture.

The [TEMPO] Universe
AWACS [TEMPO] - Airborne Command & Control
Erde is a fantasy world, where magic lingers despite the march of technology. High-speed jet fighters sport mithril compressor blades and adamantine-lined compression chambers to burn volatile magical energy lingering in the atmosphere. Human nations and corporations dominate the power struggles, while mystical elves vie to regain their lost sovereignty and catlike Mau fight for their people's survival.
In the middle stands [TEMPO]. AWACS [TEMPO] serves as both a freelance airborne early warning aircraft and a mobile radio station broadcasting the sounds of the "airborne underground."
The crew of AWACS [TEMPO] operates from high altitude, coordinating air missions while curating and creating the soundtrack to aerial combat. Operating under no nation, [TEMPO] uses their freedom to their advantage, able to explore whatever interests them. Each crew member brings their own musical specialty to the collective, blending the precision of military operations with the creative chaos of underground music scenes.
From liquid jungle transmissions during reconnaissance flights to dubstep drops synchronized with electronic countermeasures, the [TEMPO] universe explores what happens when flight crews become DJs and radar operators moonlight as producers.
