Taken from the Torn debut LP for Samurai Music - Borderline [SMDELP08]

3xLP/Digital - https://samurai.lnk.to/smdelp08

Moscow based Ivan Karasev aka Torn inked his Samurai affiliation in 2017 with his first-ever solo vinyl release on Shiro, a sub-label for highlighting new artists. 

In the 5 years that have passed since this release, the Torn name has progressed into a widescreen sonic project leaving an indelible mark not only on DnB but also reaching into the outer edges of the underground Techno scene. 

As well as his monster debut EP (Internal - SMDE10) on the main Samurai label in 2018, Torn became one of the few artists to garner a release on Homemade Weapons' imprint Weaponry in 2019, a year which also saw him release an EP of Grey Area style Techno on Horo and a collab EP in the same style with Sam KDC and Korse as Vermisst, also on Horo. 

Since these releases, Torn has teamed up with fellow Russian artist Roho for an EP of percussive floor shakers in 2021 on Samurai Music (Fatum - SMDE19) and several self-released projects direct to his growing base of devoted Torn heads. In the background, the last few years Ivan has been diligently refining and experimenting with constructions for his debut LP for the Samurai Music label.

Borderline fulfils the promise of Ivans musical ascendancy in our sub-scene netherworld between DnB and Techno. Gut-punch kicks entwine with dense atmospheric layers, gnawing mid-riffs, and impeccably honed percussive propulsion. The cake is iced meticulously with guest collabs from Samurai Music top tier affiliates Homemade Weapons, Last Life, label head Presha and a tempo switch up to close the LP with the help of dungeon master Sam KDC and close cohort Korse.

Borderline plants a confident, empowered, flag on the electronic music landscape with Torn's name on it.

Originally crafted almost entirely experimenting with Elektron’s Analog Rytm, “Techno Ranger” is a demonstration of fully-controlled disruption, blending ominous synths with fierce bass punches and a skippy drum beat.

Derrière l’alias NYOKL, un DJ discret mais affirmé, animé par une approche sélective et technique. Partant du classique, puis plongé dans la scène underground UK (bass music en général), il voit dans le DJing un moyen de lier ses découvertes à son bagage et à ses envies musicales, le but étant de développer une narration sans mots à travers ses sets.
Actif dans la scène drum & bass genevoise, et au sein du collectif genevois Edelbass, il développe NYOKL comme un projet indépendant, en attendant d’y intégrer bientôt ses propres productions dans le futur.
Le mix qu’il présente prend appui sur une base mélodique et dramatique, entre dubstep, deep dubstep et UK garage, dans un cadre obscur aux textures immersives, 
suivi de grooves plus vifs en fin de parcours.
La sélection, à la fois instinctive et personnelle, s’appuie sur des découvertes récentes, tout en ravivant une certaine nostalgie pour les styles qu’il mixait à ses débuts.

Needle Yields Only Kinetic Lines

Behind the alias NYOKL is a discreet yet confident DJ, driven by a selective and technical approach. Starting from classical music and later immersed in the UK underground scene (bass music in general), he sees DJing as a way to connect his discoveries with his musical background and personal tastes, aiming to develop a wordless narrative through his sets.
Active in the Geneva drum & bass scene and a member of the Geneva-based collective Edelbass, he is developing NYOKL as an independent project, with the intention of soon integrating 
his own productions in the future.
The mix he presents is built on a melodic and dramatic foundation, moving between dubstep, deep dubstep and UK garage, within a dark setting rich in immersive textures, 
followed by more energetic grooves towards the end.
The selection, both instinctive and personal, draws on recent discoveries while rekindling a certain nostalgia for the styles he used to mix at the beginning of his journey.

::: The following text was found scribbled on a half-burned napkin from the well-known ramen chain "Nyx-E", that was recovered inside Void+1’s archive-complex. The napkin was located in the private office of a clearance archivist. Said employee has an MP status from seven days prior to this inspection :::

"I lit another cigarette I wouldn’t finish. Ashtray’s a ruin. They always say you get used to the smoke... They lie...
The recording came in clandestine; no metadata, no chain of custody. Just the title: "Burning Chrome".
Techno, if you still want to call it that, but stripped of official markers. Four pieces, each like a shard of something much older, deeper... like the audio equivalent of looking into a mirror that doesn't reflect your image back.
I’ve heard genre-hybrids before. But this… this was a ritual. Encoded liturgy from some techno pantheon we don't even have a name for yet... Machinery talking in tongues.
It was a collaboration, yes, but not merely two artists working together... You wouldn’t trace it back to two minds, or even one. These tracks don't behave like something composed. They arrived like a breach.... less like music and more like a backdoor into something you were not supposed to know about. Scalameriya and Cam Lasky didn’t "produce" these tracks; they jacked into some shared hallucination and released it into the system to be used by those who still remember what it means to move with intent.
By the end, I wasn’t sure if I was listening to music or being rewritten by it. But one thing i was sure of... Void+1 did not commission this for a product, but as protocol. Something to carry in the bloodstream of the culture like a dormant sequence, waiting for the right environmental conditions to arise for it to be awakened. I will hav..."
