Best New Techno (R/D/H): December

NECH012 Scary Beautiful LP #6

Taïko

OECUS Premiere // Holden Federico

Extract from "Deliverance EP" @sk_eleven
Release date: October 22nd, 2021

Holden’s first SK_X release has been one worth waiting for. The New Yorker blends a mix of hard brutal percussive drive and powerful kick drums with his beautifully written melodies which stem from his background in classical music. Throughout the EP Holden’s musical background is ever dominant–vibrant synth lines provide a sense of body and feeling in the music, while straight techno rhythms keep the dance floor happy and the feet moving. 
As well as producing and DJing, Holden’s passion lies firmly in digging records. Through finding hidden 90s gems, his Instagram page has become very popular amongst a lot of heads in the scene.

MSDMNR and TESST joined forces again to end this crazy year, praising the holy Neon God, which appears in multi-color strobe lights.​

In the usual label-spirit, all tracks exercise various techno adventures of refined and solid character. The title track received a special treatment by the awesome Antwerp duo PTTRN (Float, Token), which injected their exceptional signature with perfection.

Neon God

Premiere: Modern Doom “Neon God” - MSDMNR Records

Out now on RSPX: lnk.to/RSPX35

UK techno legend Mark Broom returns to Rekids Special Projects with Vol. 2 of his ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’ series.

Following the acclaimed ‘Funfzig LP’ on Rekids earlier this year, as well as the first volume of ‘Mutated Battle Breaks’, UK stalwart Mark Broom returns to the Rekids universe with another set of eight fully charged techno bombs for Radio Slave’s techno-focussed imprint in ‘Mutated Battle Breaks Vol. 2’.

From the punchy stabs of opener ‘Recessive’ through to the deep and bumping ‘Pump’, Broom turns in a masterclass in high-energy techno tools. With the quality remaining as consistent as the 4/4 kicks across both sides of the record, ‘Mutated Battle Breaks Vol. 2’ is set to make an appearance in the record bags and USBs of any techno DJs worth their salt worldwide.

Releasing on labels such as Rekids, M-Plant, and Blueprint, the wildly prolific Broom has consistently been at the forefront of the techno scene for decades with his gritty, groove-based output while, away from the dancefloor, his The Fear Ratio project with James Ruskin continues to win critical acclaim.

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'.

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.
