After new releases by Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell in April and Vinicius Honorio in May, James Ruskin welcomes back Kr!z with his third EP for Blueprint.

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene. After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ in home country Belgium and the Netherlands, Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds. He rapidly established the label as a fixed value with a timeless and powerful sound and took it around the world with label nights on every continent.

After 12 years spent assiduously focused on curating the Token discography, showcasing artists he has nurtured and supported over this time, 2019 saw the release of his long awaited debut EP on Token. "Mantra" received high acclaim by both media and the scene's key DJs. This continued in 2020, when he released the track "Scorpion’s Tail" on Voltage Imprint and "Malice" & "Imperative Needs" as part of a split EP with Pfirter on his MindTrip label. 2022 was his most prolific year to date with three full EPs seeing the light of day: "Neutrino EP" on James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records, "The Tunnel" on Setaoc Mass' SK_eleven and "Atlantis" on his Token. In 2023 he released a follow up on Blueprint "Revelation", a split EP with Steve Rachmad on Reclaim Your City and "Marbles" on Token.

Now, the Belgian DJ and producer returns to Blueprint with a new 4-tracker this summer, entitled "Horo EP".

GTG Premiere | Kr!z - There Is No Sun [BP077]

Release date (vinyl & digital): 11th of March 2016

With over a decade of crate digging behind him, Antigone — real name Antonin Jeanson — has woven the techno canon deep into his sound. But yet, Jeanson is less of a scholar than a renegade when it comes to traditions. Rather than sticking apropos to the rules, he has always found himself pushing up against them. Following a flurry of releases stretching over half decade, 2015 saw Jeanson first appearing on Token for 'Cantor Dust'. This masterful double EP stretched his ambitions even further, and cemented his credentials as a producer. Indeed, the same is still true in 2016, which finds Jeanson at his most accomplished yet.

'Night Adrift' opens Saudade with an unapologetic heaviness. Every single pulse of this track hits the floor like it's a punchbag. Here, Jeanson showcases the physical quality at the root of his sound. In this regard, it's important not to divorce his sound from its live context. After all, this is music to move to, and Jeanson always has this in mind. 'Hiraeth', by contrast closes the EP with a mysterious uncertainty. Harmonic elements swell and emerge throughout, but they exist only in passing before snapping out of earshot. The title, 'Hiraeth', is a Welsh word with no direct translation to English. But roughly translates as "a homesickness for a home you cannot return to, or that never was".

Furthermore, the title of the EP itself, Saudade has a similar reading. 'Saudade' is a Portuguese word that refers to a deep melancholic longing. On this release, it's as if Jeanson is recalling a distant memory, but allowing only fragments to reemerge. The result is an EP that is both wistful and dreamlike. But despite the ethereal territory of Jeanson's music, to think of it as completely unstuck from time and place would be a mistake. His understanding of the genre, and how it functions, comes through loud and clear with every beat.

TOKEN59 - Antigone - Saudade EP

Sinfol readies a two-part release on his Anagram Label featuring Anetha, Elad Magdasi, Octual and more.

Curated by Amsterdam's Sinfol, Volume 1 of ‘Phasing Faces’ will feature himself alongside Italy’s Dävide, Berlin’s Elad Magdasi and Parisian producer Anetha. Meanwhile Volume 2 will see core Anagram artist Octual helm the package, joined by Mathame, who’s appeared on Krill Music and Souvenir Music, as well as Maukook who’s also known under his DJ Playstation moniker.

Sinfol’s dark and ominous ‘Trembling’ lays down a cacophony of sounds whilst a mesmerizing voice operates on top. The ethereal and rhythmic ‘Ono’ from Dävide then introduces soaring synths and various spectral nuances before Work Them Records producer and Blocaus resident Anetha’s ‘Acid Train’ lives up to its name with an infectious 303 and ravey stabs. Tying things together, Front Left Records’ Elad Magdasi’s ‘Two Floors’ closes off the release in an epic manner with thudding kicks and otherworldly melodies.

Skryptöm is reaching their 10 year milestone this month and doing it in absolute style, releasing a compilation with an all-star list of Techno titans including Laurent Garnier, Inigo Kennedy, Roman Poncet, Zadig and label boss Electric Rescue.

With such a talented and epic contributions all round it was hard to pick a favourite, but we selected the track “Ideas” from the Los Angeles maestro known to many as Truncate.

A leading light for some time, his energetic and jackin’ sound is a DJs dream with production quality that is slick and precise to match. David has a back catalogue that has seen his music appear on Sven Väth’s Cocoon, Chris Liebing’s CLR, Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver and his Los Angeles stable of Droid ran by Drumcell.

DT:Premiere | Truncate - Ideas [Skryptöm]

We are excited to present the first outing of what might soon prove to be one of techno‘s most promising collaborations. While Seatoc Mass' two pristinely crafted EPs have already left their mark on the label, Matrixxman has been turning heads across the scenes with his exceptionally prolific track record.

Drawing upon common thoughts on futuristic themes and their respective strengths as producers from different continents, their joint effort clearly conveys one distinct approach, yet unites the seemingly opposite. Regardless of being no-nonsense dancefloor-weapons, the four tracks still brim with detail, their vibrant elements communicating playfully.

On their shared EP these artists have struck a rare balance. They delicately hover between the spacious and the claustrophobic, the modern and the classic, the stern and the elated – while never losing focus of their mutual mission.

@setaoc_mass - Fortnight (Soma555)

A1. Time
A2. Bluebells
B1. Fortnight
B2. Chaos
5) Necessary Evil (DIGI BONUS)

Mancunian maestro Setaoc Mass return for his second outing on Soma with the Fortnight EP. Drenched in his typical hard hitting yet meticulous produced style, Sam drops 4 top quality tracks and includes a special bonus track for the digital EP. 

Time opens the EP with a particularly hypnotic sound and a definite driving pace as swelling and pulsing background atmospheres give this a quite aggressive backbone. Bluebells is yet another dance floor rocking track that hits the ground running right from the start. Razor sharp polyrhythmic structures keep the track interesting while intense percussive workouts provide the power. Title track Fortnight delves deeper whilst still remaining true to Sam’s direct and tough sound; don’t let this deeper side fool you, all the hallmarks of a proper banger remain intact! Chaos closes out things with a more groove laden and emotive tone as shuffling percussive elements funk things up before subtle synths work their way in giving the track a more melodic feel than the previous. Digital Bonus, Necessary Evil, is a straight up, no nonsense dance floor workout.
