Nørbak inaugurates his eponymous label with Sátira - three brutalist works that explore the juxtaposition between empty space, diaphanous atmospherics, and antagonizing rhythms. Within, drones echo across dark and vacant spaces, intersected by disembodied voices and electric discharges. Terse rhythms unfold, overlaid by dense, celestial pads that serve as a deus ex machina to the EP’s otherwise ominous sound design - raw Birmingham austerity reimagined in a more contemplative context.

Dimi Angelis presents the 11th release on his ANGLS label - four timeless, heavily saturated,and straightforward tools decorated with minimalistic and highly effective sequences.

On the A-side, “Warp Drive” opens with an impactful 909 groove interrupted by a sharp and manic percussive sequence - the energy is driven by the interplay between these elements. “Hidden Spider” offers a driving, polyrhythmic bass line plotted against two psychedelic sequences interlocked in a call-and-response pattern.

On the B-side, “Cyberman” is direct and persistent - FM synthesis and highly focused hi-hats create an insistent and unrelenting rhythm. “Axonite” closes out the EP with a dense low-end and patiently evolving sci-fi-influenced sequences that fluctuate in intensity - effective weapons for any dance floor.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Nørbak - Hats Going Nuts [KIAS]

Release date (vinyl & digital): 27th of January

TRACKLISTING:
A1: Illumination
A2: Integrate The Shadow
B1: Tenacity
B2: Follow The Eyes

INFO:
	
After a year of acclaimed releases on SK_Eleven, Voltage, and his own Observer Station, the ever exciting up-and-comer Altinbas strikes with his debut on Token. Known for crafting club textures with the utmost attention to detail, Altinbas offers his four contributions to the Belgian label under the name ‘Illumination’. 

Grabbing the A1 slot with the title name, ‘Illumination’ unveils Altinbas’s story with a bubbly and strobe-like introduction. With a long arrangement and sustained tension, suspense is never far from an otherwise aquatic record. ‘Integrate the Shadow’ claims A2 as an introverted and mischievous follow up. Nervous keys loop along with dissonant bells accentuating the mystery to an already obscure soundscape. More playful with the percussion here, Altinbas structures his second track with electric stabs and wide rides to provide appropriate pace. We are then gripped by a confident third, ‘Tenacity’, for a pinch of attitude needed in any good club record. The metallic lead swings off a muffled mid synth line to create movement here, and the clap booms behind us to create that dimension. Racing to the end of ‘Tenacity’, Altinbas then guides us to our final chapter - ‘Follow the Eyes’. This dreamy conclusion opens up the EP, giving us far-off strings and a reliably ethereal lead bell that melts into a thick ambience. The drums push us through a cloudy landscape to land us safely for the end of our story.

TOKEN113 - Altinbas - Illumination

KR3 Records, is proud to welcome Hector Sandoval to its roster.

Known for his work under many aliases (Komatssu, Selección Natural) and for being one half of Exium, with his solo project TENSAL the artist explores a more instinctive approach to sound arising from a modern vision of techno.

Recorded entirely analogically, Forgiveness of Blood is the perfect demonstration of his vision.
With an ambient intro to ease the listener into the experience, the EP moves through the raw and scratchy sounds that have always distinguished both KR3 and the artist himself.

The reference to the 12” dynamic and rough rhythms is also clear in the artwork curated by Chianjna.

PREMIERE: Tensal - Revenge [ KR3 Records ]

Release date (vinyl & digital): 3rd of March 2023

Tracklist:
A1. Coefficient - Neutron Star Remnant
A2. Bailey Ibbs - Caelid
B1. Phara - Evoke
B2. Hemka - Bazaar
C1. Nørbak - Dano
C2. Vinicius Honorio & Ricardo Garduno - Murked
D1. Kike Pravda - Lost In Darkness
D2. Amorphic - A57

Info:
As the second release of 2023 and already on its fourth edition, Fuga is back on Token. This compilation serves as a reflection of techno today while maintaining the cosmic, driving sound that has become Token's signature over the years.

Our introduction to this excursion is appropriately named 'Neutron Star Remnant' by UK's Coefficient. A pulsating bassline over a syncopated kick swings along lush pads to create a first look into the compilation, promising character and quality. Turning the page over to Bailey Ibbs, our dreamlike curtain is dropped and we're left with 'Caelid'. The tone is set, the nostalgia is lost, and we are left with Ibb's sleek uptempo techno track, bursting with groove; the sequence of percussive elements brew the perfect storm of infectious techno. Phara then takes control with 'Evoke', boasting a thick and persistent bassline. Returning to a rounder, analog sounding record, the dissonance of the lead bells make it a true nail-biter of a track. The intensity of the project is quickly lifted by Hemka's 'Bazaar' for nearly six and a half minutes of barely contained, high-pressure club music. The cyclical rise of the background atmosphere and soundscapes make this a properly anxious piece. Nørbak then uses 'Dano' to take down the intensity with a tom-driven percussion line and a thick, intricate ambience evolving like waves through a reliable rhythm. For our 6th chapter, Vinicius Honorio & Ricardo Garduno guide us back to the body. A drum machine skips along to a muffled synth line, reducing the dimensions of the record that had been opened, and resorting to being slightly more claustrophobic to create that needed tension. We then jump into Kike Pravda's 'Lost in Darkness' for a full-on space and granular submersion. Our second to last track inches along almost like an insect, one texture exchanging for another, constantly pushing through its duration. Finally we turn to our last chapter by Amorphic called 'A57'. This ending picks up the pace but offers space for a meditative and relaxing conclusion to wind down after another intense installment of Fuga.
