For the third installment of Token’s Fuga compilations, the label invites another list of 9 cutting edge artists to put their skills to the test. Ignez, Emily Jeanne, Altinbas & Cirkle, Alarico, Dustmite, Yant, Marcal, and Decka all offer their unique vision of contemporary club music for a collection of tunneling and intelligent cuts. 

Introducing the compilation, Ignez warms us up with the appropriately-named ‘Celestial’ - a 6 minute argument between melody and dissonance over a thick percussive line. Emily Jeanne then continues with ‘Red River Delta’ to lift some of the weight with a dissociative mind-bender. The crisp sound design and wide stereo image allow for an exhale before Altinbas and Cirkle introduce their collaboration ‘Uhlanga’. With our focus back on the body, the duo turn up the pace and prioritize groove. With rhythm at the forefront, depth is given to the track in the ambience, creating a rainforest-like atmosphere with resonant stabs streaking over the tighter low-end. Alarico then picks things up by taking advantage of this crescendo to present the energetic climax of the compilation with ‘Spit’. Hypnotism becomes almost paranoia with vocal cuts camouflaging themselves in the pulse of the track that only releases us with the occasional fleeting arpeggio. Walls rise and we’re in concrete for Dustmite’s ‘Filaments and Jaws’, which wastes no time in introducing itself with clear intentions and an imposing, low hi hat. He then lifts the record with a hovering main synth that drifts the experience back into a nervosity that complements the preceding track. It’s Yant’s turn to guide us with ‘Take the Reins’ - an almost nostalgic record with infectious chord stabs over a pounding 909, before leaving us with Marcal. ‘Dancing Pursuit’ is offered to the listener as another dance floor weapon with a density in its percussion and ambience that’s balanced by the sequence of the lead synth and creates a lot of energy. Decka then takes control with ‘Fracture’ with a brutally saturated kick over whipping two-bar synth loops to close out the compilation with a head-spinner.

BCCO Premiere: Border One - Segment [VOLT010]

Previously contributing to the label for its third instalment with the ‘Restless’ EP in 2020, Border One makes his long awaited return to the SK_X series with the ‘Inner Sight’ EP. 

Leading with ‘Third Vision’, a synth driven odyssey loaded with rising melodies, morphing basslines and fluctuating rhythms. ‘Optical Void’, takes a more minimalistic approach in the form of a stripped back hypnotic groove, placing emphasis on pounding percs and haunting atmospheric tension. ‘Mind’s Eye’ leads the flip-side with layered synths and rolling low-end frequencies, all combining to form a raw, rough and ready club record. 
The player concludes with the title track, ‘Inner Sight’ - featuring a dark variety of plucky bass, echoing tones and intricate perc lines. 

Here, Border One once again displays his diverse production capability within the realm of techno.

PREMIERE: Temudo - D is for Dissonance [HYSEP50]

Part 1 of the Unissued Series is the start of a series of releases that focuses on releasing older projects as well as new projects that I am working on in the studio. The idea behind this self-release series is to give my music a platform to speak for itself, both in terms of my creative output and artistic vision. 

One of the main motivations behind this concept was to take back more control of how I truly want to represent myself as an artist. In art, oneself, as the artist, is and should be one's biggest critic as well as one's biggest admirer or fan. In the end, creating art, for me at least, is a form of pure self-expression. By taking more control over my creative output, I seek to further engage in the relationship I have with myself and create the space necessary for further musical exploration. 

Unissued Series Part 1, marks the first of many self releases coming this year. Ranging from straight forward techno cuts to experimental ambient pieces.

On the flip side, the EP unveils the warmer and groovier sounds of '2029' alongside the minimalistic and unforgettable tones of 'Affection.' These tracks beckon listeners to transcend to an alternate dimension, where the boundaries of techno are pushed to their limits.

Daryn Steytler - Obscure (ERR0 Remix) [TRM301]

The eighth instalment of The Nursery series sees the return of Moving Thoughts, a talented duo from Holland, for their first solo EP with Dynamic Reflection. Four powerful, varied tracks with a bit of a nod to Detroit.

‘Small from above’ starts off with a bright vibe and inventive percussion patterns, making it into a warm and cosy welcome. The second track, ‘33TG’, puts a quick end to that cosiness: it’s raw straight from the beginning. A mean synth builds up for a couple of minutes before alternating with another synth, only this time a more euphoric one. 

‘Voyager’, the third track, is undoubtedly this EP’s dance floor banger. Its loopy lead sound has a bit of a trippy minimal vibe to it, but with just enough diversity to retain attention throughout. Lastly, ‘The people from Mars don’t want us there’ provides the perfect outro of the EP with its modular action and futuristic appearance. 

Although these tracks are all fairly different from each other, they are all produced in the same effective and delicate style. They make for an interesting EP, reason enough to follow these two promising artists’ every move from now on.
