Release date (vinyl & digital): 16th of December

"I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago, other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things - never rushed"

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album ‘Frames Of Reference’ on Token this fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor (“a display of real power and finesse” 4/5), in DJmag (“a calculated masterpiece” 9,5/10), at XLR8R (“sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal” 8/10), Groove Magazine (“pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits”) and more.

After the double a-sided first single ‘On The Edge / Perplexed’ in June, we now bring you the 2nd single.
‘Dirtro II’ is definitely one of the standout cuts of the album and shows Ø [Phase] in his darkest and deepest mood. On the b-side he is joined by one of his biggest inspirations & one of techno’s most legendary innovators: Robert Hood. The result is a carefully executed yet explosive peak time cut.

Ø [Phase] x Robert Hood x Token. It had to happen one day.

The EP starts with Mikael Jonasson’s, ‘Benefit of the Doubt’ which uses dark, melodic bleeps to create tension before the epic chord stabs kick in that resonate over the throbbing bass line. Adam Beyer steps up with the second track ‘Never Really Left Home’ that uses a rhythmic synth-line to create a dark and moody piece of music. Ida Engberg then delivers her unique style of techno using old rave sounds and a huge hoover style synth to create a driving techno track that will keep any dancefloor moving. The Manic Brother’s supply another big track named ‘Different Directions’ using reverberated stabs to create an atmospheric, but still functional track with lots of rhythmic percussion thrown in. Patrick Siech then steps up with the next track, ‘Kill Room’ that also uses atmospheric percussion and stabs to build into a funky drum groove. Joel Mull presents the sixth track on the compilation; ‘Rimson’ that uses hypnotic drums to captures the listener’s attention to lead into a floaty synth and vocal line before the track introduces a pulsating bass line. ‘Second Coming’ is the next offering with Petter B using recurrent percussion to full effect to create a purposeful, heavy hitting techno track. The final track by Cari Lekebusch called ‘Xylopeggiator’, conveys a dark, pounding 5 AM rhythm that uses vocal samples and a melodic synth to create a hypnotic drum pattern.
