Red Rooms - Sunbeams - PRRUKBLK070

The Dutch duo based in Berlin, Robin Koek and Nick Lapien, better known as Artefakt, are starting a new chapter in their De Stijl narrative; the record label they founded in 2019 with the goal to further explore their sound and host affiliated projects and collaborations with like-minded friends. The latter takes the first significant step and starts the new series 'Collaborations,'  with the idea to capture extended studio improvisations and craft an EP based on live sessions. For the inaugural release in the series, Artefakt welcomes their close friend and fellow Berliner, Claudio PRC. 

'Collaborations I' seems like a match made in heaven where Artefakt and Claudio bring their A-game and deliver a four-track release that explores depths of hypnotic, atmospheric techno, and ambient. The release has two faces. The A-side sees Artefakt and Claudio PRC channeling their inner atmospheric techno side with dance floor DNA all over it. Where on the B-side, things slow down and gradually dissolve into gauzy layers of a melancholic drone.

The story unfolds with 'Gaia.' A mood piece with a rumbling groove and deep emotional undercurrents. A defining element of 'Gaia' is an unsettling piano that flourishes and warbles with atmospheric textures to create a complex take on melancholy. 'Dwelling' continues in a similar fashion and builds on the abstract sonic world with its long, lush cosmic pads and familiar deep techno sequence. 'Gaia' is the stand out of two, but 'Dwelling' sounds like a more versatile chameleon track that could find a place at various times during the night in DJ sets.

The B-side kicks off with 'Sonic Rite,' our premiere for today. 'Sonic Rite' calms things down with a significant drop in pace but keeps the same hypnotic atmosphere with an ever-evolving bassline sequence and far-east-inspired flute-like melodies. An otherworldly female voice adds a nice transcendental touch that falls like a jigsaw into the place of this mesmerizing 'slow-burner.' 

'Collaborations I' closes with 'Distant Light,' a dark drone ambient journey that sounds like a glacial majesty with peaceful oscillations. It's an ideal listening piece for moments of tranquility and self-reflection. 

With 'Collaborations I,' the first chapter of the series that features Delsin affiliate Claudio PRC, Artefakt sets the bar high and gets us excited for what is to come. 'Collaborations I' will be available in record stores and streaming services on March 25th.

Over Keys EP

Tension

Premiere: Raär "Tension" -  HAYES

Release date (vinyl & digital): 6th of May

TRACKLISTING:
A1. Aura
A2. Warrior One
B1. Nadi
B2. Centaurus

INFO:
Following the release of his track 'Celestial' on Fuga III, Ignez is back on Token for his own 4 track EP 'Nadi' to confirm that his work cannot be overlooked. Dissonant and seductive synth work offer the only release from a uniquely unforgiving use of percussion throughout the project - a masterclass in effect.

Kicking off the record with a track built on atmospheric shifts certainly sets the tone and it's called 'Aura'. Carefully sequenced and erratic synth lines are thinly sliced by high energy top percussion to make an anxious opening. Moving on to the A2, Ignez strips things down to the essentials and takes out the ear candy. Being the most rhythmically-centered piece of the project, 'Warrior One' fills space through the body of its few elements to accept tension from a simple yet hypnotic vocal synth. The linear quality of this piece then dives into the persistently moody title track 'Nadi'. A more cinematic addition to the EP, 'Nadi' brews tension through most of its elements over the duration of the track to be released into a deep club groove with expert attention to detail. The attitude of this track makes for a twisted way to drop into the final piece of the EP, 'Centaurus'. Built on a strong base of a more classically crafted rhythm, the unpredictability of this B2 lies in the melodic interactions between the bass synth and suspenseful strings that stalk the listener for a cliffhanger of a closer.

A. Facelift
B1. Yellower
B2. Lark

Banke returns to Token.

The Danish producer debuted on the label in 2018 with Totem - an EP of detailed, low-slung productions that highlighted the artist's keen ear for moody, undulating sequences & slick production techniques.

On his return, Banke ups the ante - increasing the tempo moderately and where previous work focused on inviting dance-floor hypnosis, Facelift makes classy peak time propulsion the order of the day.

The work maintains many of the sonic motifs associated with the Dane's production: firm, buoyant low end drives the music, working neatly in tandem with reduced percussive accents and more exposed, crystalline sequences that lift the recordings and offer new, expressive tones to the producer's growing discography.

In many ways lead track Facelift does what it says on the tin, and offers up the most intense experience on the EP. In equal parts as dense and moody as it is exhilarating and uplifting, the track is a fine example of how careful use of limited sonic components can generate extraordinarily affecting results in the right hands.

B1 Yellower continues to channel the feverish energy of the A side, making the most of a driven lead sequence that sits front and centre in the mix. A stylish piece of engineering that bridges the record with some style, offering an alternative but equally effective approach to the EP theme.

Closer Lark indulges in a similar energy, albeit tentatively more heads-down in its articulation - carefully constructed with particular attention paid to the groove and arranged exquisitely to generate a latent frenzy over its run-time.
