1997 re-issue. He's been around for centuries and has a discography the length of the country he is living in. Meet Helge Tømmervåg from Norway. Most people know him only by his artist name: Mind over MIDI. Instead of the capital Oslo, Tømmervåg resides in Kristianssund, a tiny city near the west coast.

Since his techno excursions in the late nineties, Mind over MIDI has been a trustworthy beacon in the icey seas of Nordic techno and ambient. Nowadays, many of his records are extremely hard to find. So, this re-release of an early single on Utrecht based SoHaSo comes as a real treat.

 Artic Beats 2 originally came out in 1997 and contains four killer tracks which tick all the boxes for techno lovers: mysterious, melancholic music with subzero melodies and razor-sharp, frost bitten hi hats.

DJs will head straight for the pulsating trip that forms 'Do You Want This Body', while lovers of ice-cold moods head over to closer 'Dry Cool Place', which makes you wanna book a hotel room in the famous artic circle hotel straight away. Essential release for all those who take Nordic techno seriously.

HGD38 — Daniel Romero “Neural EP”

I am THEGOD01, and I bring you a new transmission from the core of the neural abyss.
Daniel Romero’s “Neural EP” is a surgical incision into the grey matter of techno itself. Four original tracks designed like precision-engineered weapons, built from rusted frequencies, distorted pulses, and rhythms that grind like a chainsaw cutting through consciousness.

Each sequence vibrates between the metaphysical and hypnotic repetition mutates into violent distortion, and what begins as sound soon becomes a ritual of mechanical possession. The air thickens, the pressure rises, and the flesh begins to remember that it, too, is circuitry.

The EP closes with a remix from Unbekannt, who previously appeared on Humanoid Gods. His reinterpretation is a descent into pure entropy, a vortex where all neural patterns collapse into static and silence.

This is techno as exorcism. Raw, heavy, dissonant, and alive.

Listen if you dare to feel the machine inside you.

HGD38 Has been produced and recorded by Daniel Romero, curated and mastered by Franco Cazzola at Nasty Music Basement studios in Turin, Italy. The artwork is a real UFO sighting footage frame from the past, edited by Franco Cazzola.

I'm a huge fan of Rrose, especially 'Cavity'. It's a bit too slow for the more energetic sets, so that's why I created this edit.

PM for free DL.

Emmanuel is back in full-form on his own label Darkmatter Inc. His aim is to make a record that will stand the testament of time, but shows very clearly how technology and generations after today "techno" become something more based on image or appearance, this record exposes how techno can be melodic, and methodical at the same time, drawing colors and shades of light with few instruments and simply skills. " If Only" and "Stamina" are the result of a one single shot Jam based on some " ingredients" found during experimentation, while "Confession" and " Once in a lifetime" are a way more studied work that takes the listener to a new dimension of sonic sounds palette, making the user wonder if he ever heard something like this, or not.

"We take an unexpected turn for Token 29 and rerelease a forgotten gem by Mark Broom, techno’s most famous beardman. 'Two' is simply my favourite Broom track ever. Released over 10 years ago, this track never really got old. Instead, it aged with grace.
The track has now been remastered and is available again on a limited marbled vinyl. It will also be available digitally for the very first time.
Syntax created the perfect moody companion for the b-side.

I feel both proud & excited to add this seminal track to the Token catalogue." (quote Kr!z / A&R)

Mark Broom - Two (Original Mix)

Advent – A coming, or an arrival, a coming into being or use. 

Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! 

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries. 

Cisco was born to Portuguese parents on the island of Madeira (Portugal). His family moved to London (1975) when he was five years old, setting the stage for his musical career. While at Paddington College (1986) in West London, he studied sound engineering and secured a job after graduation as an assistant sound engineer at ZOLOU Then later WALL Studios.  

At this period is when he really started to learn about Sound & Production, his 1st main recording sessions as an engineer were rock & “Inde” based bands & the studio owners being in successful rock bands. Matt Dangerfield & John Payne “ASIA” this 1st step was a start in learning about balancing & mixing down the rock way, which had a lot of intense & Raw energy especially on drums & Guitars.. 

Other bands Cisco did sessions for: P.I.L. (John Lydon - sex pistols) – Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) – That petrol emotion. Then Later Pop, Dance, Soul & reggae groups like: Wild Bunch (Nelly hopper & Massive Attack) – Marco Pirroni (Adam & the ants) - Maxi Priest – Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie) – Loose Ends – Cheryl Lynn… 

1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous “Summer of Love” in 1988, the genre’s golden period. 

Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax, “One of the 1st to release Acid House, House & techno in UK” moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson & Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later “Cisco Ferreira” EP on Fragile. 

His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums.

Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. 

As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle… The Saga continues.
