Tokyo techno maven Risa Taniguchi unveils “When I See You” EP on the formidable Second State. No stranger to the Berlin label, Taniguchi released her “How We Dance Again” EP just last year, in addition to a number of contributions to the label’s compilation series.

Warped synth keys, claps, flurried hi-hats and a muffled kick welcome you into “Mute Everything”. Chopping, skittish percussions cut and jolt across the heaving bass, simulating a frantic energy. A rolling 303 line dances with brightly shining synth notes. Towards the close, the synths are stripped away and the percussion takes over once again, with only the subdued acid and bass line at play.

Artist: Jeremy P Caulfield
Title: Tenure EP (Incl. Rebar Remix)
Catalog Number: MOCD028
Label: made of CONCRETE
Release Date: 17.12.2021

RELEASE INFO:
"made of Concrete" has been predominantly remained a reliable and consistent outlet for chilly, powerful Techno as well as a wide variety of material falling slightly left-of-centre.

With previous releases coming from the likes of Markus Suckut, Roberto Clementi, Oliver Deutschmann and Kyle Geiger - the output has remained highly functional since the label's inauguration in 2015.

In for their next release is Dumb Unit boss and Techno stalwart Jeremy P Caulfield who offers up his first full EP for the label after his remix for Elias earlier this year.

Caulfield is a veteran producer and selector who has successfully joined the dots between House and Techno across an illustrious career - no residing in Berlin, he specialises in the deep, refined floor-fillers that reflect the music the city is famous for.

His “Tenure” EP kicks off with “Soffit” which melds twisted, cinematic tones and sharpened hats with a persistent, pulsing groove. Reverb and delay are deftly controlled to provide a capacious sense of space while a thundering kick keeps things pinned to the floor. 

“Tenure” then follows up with a stripped, hypnotic banger. Head-bending electronics and bleeps rotate over a potent groove which is guaranteed to send dance-floors into rapture. Rebar's “Smoke Trail Remix” then dims the lights a tad as it progresses subtlety and steadily bringing an EP of heady, sophisticated tracks to a close'.

Token is pleased to announce Metabolism, the sophomore album from Sigha. The LP marks James Shaw’s third release on the Token label following his singles Christ Figures and Our Father. Metabolism represents an arrival: the artist offers his definitive statement on a production aesthetic that has been in development over the last few years.

Shaw’s work as Sigha has always placed the listener at a centrifugal point that invites a clandestine hypnosis rather than an abject hysteria. Cavernous low ends fixed firmly and effectively in a mono space tether the music to the body, while exquisitely executed white noise patterns and crystalline pads warp and hiss around the stereo environment. This keen ear for distinction within the frequency spectrum acts as the central theme on the LP.

Metabolism encompasses a power dynamism that departs from the explicitly greyscale finish found on his more conceptual work as Sigha and as A Vision Of Love for Guy Brewer’s Avian label. Though elements of Metabolism maintain a driven, corrosive quality, each searing sequence or mordant drum machine hit occupies its own space. On high-energy dance floor moments and abstract tracks alike, Shaw’s approach to distortion is one that sets out with an objective to separate components rather than to bind them. This creates a matrix of aural stimuli that remain heady and inherently propulsive, but are realised in a fashion more akin to high fidelity sound design than processes traditionally associated with the techno genre.

The record possesses a powerful musicality beyond this acute attention to form and structure. In the past, Shaw’s productions have often married high-energy drum work with subtly shifting minor keys spread around the sonic periphery. On Metabolism, emotive leads sit squarely and comfortably in the foreground, and build towards rapturous crescendos that are crisp and omnipresent throughout the mix. These careful layers generate the extraordinary tension that has since become a hallmark of the British artist’s work.

Metabolism is a techno album, but its frame of reference is generous, drawing on the finest facets of the artist’s own varied discography and the wider electronic music landscape. Cohesive and modern, Shaw’s latest work eschews a handful of riffs on a single idea in favour of a multi-faceted, fully realised expression of what the genre can be - it is a vital addition to the Token label’s already enviable catalogue of releases.

HIKE: Cristal clear lakes, impressive mountains, soothing forests and Berlin Techno music. 
The Königstuhl is the highest peak in the Lower Odenwald forest. At its top, an amazing view awaits you - over the Neckar valley, Rhine lowlands and on a clear day even as far as Alsace. High above the university town you will find peace and tranquillity on the numerous footpaths. You can experience the surrounding forests in a unique way on the "Via naturae" walking route or the Forest Adventure Trail. On the opposite side of the Neckar river, you will find the beautiful "philosophers walk". In this area you can stumble over beautiful Beryll Minerals, like the one we used for our cover.
