INFO
It was early 2007 when Inigo Kennedy inaugurated Token. Since that Identify Yourself 12” the Belgian label has gone from strength to strength, integrating both Kennedy and Ashley Burchett, aka Ø [Phase], into becoming integral cogs in the Token machine. In between releases by Grovskopa, Oscar Mulero and Go Hiyama, both Ø [Phase] and Inigo Kennedy dominated Token’s output, but it wasn’t until Burchett’s watershed Binary Opposition that Token received the shower of praise it deserved. Following this, label founder Kr!z issued three remix 12”s of that release which, including Token regulars, took in a profound cast of producers to reprocess “Binary Opposition” by the way of Sigha, Peter Van Hoesen, Planetary Assault Systems and Ben Klock. It was here Token stamped their authority on contemporary techno.

Since then Token has grown exponentially, bringing into their fold artists like Xhin, Mark Broom and Rødhåd, while Ctrls, formally one half of Northern Structures, has seen his solo career flourish on Token with the release of five records to date, and he joins Inigo Kennedy and Ø [Phase] as a label stalwart. Additionally this year, Orphx and Ancient Methods debuted their relentless Eschaton collaboration on Token, and Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates dalliance with Oscar Mulero has gained even more momentum with a second release called Kinematics Equations. Now, seven years after that debut Kennedy record, Token present Aphelion, a nine-track CD and triple vinyl grandstand of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for this milestone release.

The penultimate record before Aphelion was a second Token 12” by Rødhåd, another artist adding to the cultivation of the label’s sound and roster, and for this compilation the Berliner supplies his cosmically inspired “Haumea”. Joining the Dystopian founder on Aphelion are three of the UK’s most influential techno artists: Surgeon, James Ruskin and Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems alias who provide Token with solo material for the first time after previously appearing on the imprint in remix form. Entirely new names to grace the label via Aphelion include Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy, and Blawan and Pariah's Karenn project, while label faithfuls Inigo Kennedy,  Ø [Phase] and Ctrls naturally commit three Token defining productions.

Casting one’s eye over Token’s back catalogue and it’s clear to see the label is a staunch advocate of absolute techno, remaining steadfast in issuing quality material that remains true to classic strands of the genre regardless of its popularity flux. In that respect, Aphelion - a word used to describe the point in orbit when a planet or comet is farthest from the sun - provides a simple analogy that the magnetic force of Token, unfazed by the shadows cast by popular opinion, will proudly shine light on their artists and given styles. 

“We started in an era where our genre was very unpopular,” Kr!z explains. “And in the end that seemed a big advantage for us, because when everyone was giving up, we started our mission.” Regularly hosting label nights in prominent clubs around the world, Token has become a label supported by a wide-ranging body of artists like Âme and Ben Klock to Efdemin, Truss and Ancient Methods. With the label now branching out into album and compilation territory, Token’s duty to techno may not yet be accomplished, but it’s been a job well done.

Soma’s 100th album release is a huge milestone for the label and reiterates how influential the Glasgow brand has been in defining the musical landscape for two decades. 

There is no better way to celebrate both the impact and influence of the label than by showcasing one of Glasgow’s most successful Techno exports. Gary Beck embodies the continued innovation of Soma, having worked in close collaboration with the label from his 2009 debut onwards. In the years since his first release Gary Beck has become a global Techno sensation performing at every major venue and starting his own successful label, Bek Audio, which has seen his tracks selling out at an incredible rate. This album highlights just why Gary Beck has reached such a pinnacle and again shows that his collaborations with Soma are always incendiary. Throughout the album every track is perfectly balanced and totally unique creating a sonic journey from the first bar to the last. 

The epic scale of the album is reflected in the first track ‘I Read About You’ which seems to expand and develop constantly bringing in ambience, intricate drum patterns and ethereal synths which create a spiritual and expansive quality. 

The opener is punctuated brilliantly by the sharp and deep style of Algoreal, which winds the tension up again and takes the music in another new direction. 

Beck’s mastery of integrating various original musical themes is a signature of this record and the development of sounds is striking. A clear example of this is in how well spaced and electro elements are crafted on ‘D51’ to create an exciting sense of anticipation and a powerfully organic feel. This means that there is a chance to create tracks which feel like whole ensemble pieces rather than an exercise in strict, clinical production. 

Throughout there is a strong sense of musicianship, but this is balanced well with the engrossing physicality of tracks. ‘Unaware’ for example has heavy bass, beats and all manner of carefully developed production elements which create an almost disorientating sense of power. 

Certain tracks follow different musical routes and the scope of this is kept in check with regard to the whole album by tracks like ‘Hopkin’ which tie these different elements together as part of a complete work. The tracks have such varied rhythm patterns and production which are often understated but always effective. 

Little moon is a perfect interlude with bright and beautiful sounds which although being the shortest track on the album creates its own detailed atmosphere and imagery, a transcendent moment on the album. 

The progression of the Samba-influenced beats and resonant drums of ‘Operation’ is another great example of the strength and complexity of this album, creating a whole new soundscape and another avenue for exploration. This is a shattering end to the album and brings everything to a close in a fashion which is absolutely fitting for such a great album. Album number 100 is certainly worthy of its place in Soma history and the achievement in creating this piece of music matches the great achievements of Soma in getting to this landmark.
