Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

Ignez makes his Token comeback for a new format yet again, presenting his first ever LP with the Belgian label. One of the scene’s most intriguing artists to emerge in the past few years, the young Dutchman has paved his road to acclaim by experimenting with sonic narratives and interpreting them with dance floor efficiency. Constantly working the conceptual intentions of his records, Ignez offers a refreshing take on club music by giving it his unmistakable touch of cinematic storytelling.

‘Tides’ is an ode to his personal connection with nature, and each track represents a shift in energy and emotional ambiance, rising and falling with each transition. With this approach, it only makes sense to release a project of this length; Ignez is able to tell his story through waves, washing over assertive rhythmic work with far off keys and soothing pads. Songs like the album’s introduction ‘Enchant’ and ‘Delusional Bond’ inspire curiosity of what lies beyond murky waters and the impactful aftermath of these tracks explains the untameable quality of ocean tides through erratic percussion and razor-sharp sound design like in ‘Bliss’. Ignez’s synth work throughout ‘Tides’ is elusive if anything, swimming through his arrangements in an unpredictable manner. He tells the story of an environment that imposes the sometimes harsh rules of its territory with restless elements ready to jump out at any given moment. This feeling of almost powerlessness can be felt in ‘Awakening’ for example, a record that’s bent on intrigue and suspense over a stomping four to the floor kick. Curiosity, anticipation, discovery: these are all things that can describe the chosen theme and, of course, Ignez’s work as a composer. The album serves as a look into the respect the artist has for unstoppable energy and his translation of it thereof through the expressive sound design and thick atmospheres that propelled him to the forefront of his scene.

PREMIERE: Ignez - Oceanid [TOKEN122LP]

CVNSUMED is a new character in the game, who you may associate with his previous alias NN, under which he oriented his output to the harder strains of electronic music. His debut in this new incarnation can be read as a conceptual piece, in which even remixes are blended into the narrative in an unusual way.

We dive deep into stuffy, rushing productions with a right dose of spaciousness. All the material is a perfect expression of KYSH's style. Take the highlights – “Mugen” for timeless elegant techno sound or “Gyomatsu” for driving drum machinery and beautiful string motifs. After the oneiric “Togyo” remix coming from BENZA, the subsequent remixes from Sicion and Sept only add to the quality. This EP takes you to atmogroove heaven leaving a taste of precise contemporary sound.
