INFO
It was early 2007 when Inigo Kennedy inaugurated Token. Since that Identify Yourself 12” the Belgian label has gone from strength to strength, integrating both Kennedy and Ashley Burchett, aka Ø [Phase], into becoming integral cogs in the Token machine. In between releases by Grovskopa, Oscar Mulero and Go Hiyama, both Ø [Phase] and Inigo Kennedy dominated Token’s output, but it wasn’t until Burchett’s watershed Binary Opposition that Token received the shower of praise it deserved. Following this, label founder Kr!z issued three remix 12”s of that release which, including Token regulars, took in a profound cast of producers to reprocess “Binary Opposition” by the way of Sigha, Peter Van Hoesen, Planetary Assault Systems and Ben Klock. It was here Token stamped their authority on contemporary techno.

Since then Token has grown exponentially, bringing into their fold artists like Xhin, Mark Broom and Rødhåd, while Ctrls, formally one half of Northern Structures, has seen his solo career flourish on Token with the release of five records to date, and he joins Inigo Kennedy and Ø [Phase] as a label stalwart. Additionally this year, Orphx and Ancient Methods debuted their relentless Eschaton collaboration on Token, and Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates dalliance with Oscar Mulero has gained even more momentum with a second release called Kinematics Equations. Now, seven years after that debut Kennedy record, Token present Aphelion, a nine-track CD and triple vinyl grandstand of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for this milestone release.

The penultimate record before Aphelion was a second Token 12” by Rødhåd, another artist adding to the cultivation of the label’s sound and roster, and for this compilation the Berliner supplies his cosmically inspired “Haumea”. Joining the Dystopian founder on Aphelion are three of the UK’s most influential techno artists: Surgeon, James Ruskin and Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems alias who provide Token with solo material for the first time after previously appearing on the imprint in remix form. Entirely new names to grace the label via Aphelion include Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy, and Blawan and Pariah's Karenn project, while label faithfuls Inigo Kennedy,  Ø [Phase] and Ctrls naturally commit three Token defining productions.

Casting one’s eye over Token’s back catalogue and it’s clear to see the label is a staunch advocate of absolute techno, remaining steadfast in issuing quality material that remains true to classic strands of the genre regardless of its popularity flux. In that respect, Aphelion - a word used to describe the point in orbit when a planet or comet is farthest from the sun - provides a simple analogy that the magnetic force of Token, unfazed by the shadows cast by popular opinion, will proudly shine light on their artists and given styles. 

“We started in an era where our genre was very unpopular,” Kr!z explains. “And in the end that seemed a big advantage for us, because when everyone was giving up, we started our mission.” Regularly hosting label nights in prominent clubs around the world, Token has become a label supported by a wide-ranging body of artists like Âme and Ben Klock to Efdemin, Truss and Ancient Methods. With the label now branching out into album and compilation territory, Token’s duty to techno may not yet be accomplished, but it’s been a job well done.

As has become traditional over recent years, around this time I like to give away a track as a token of my appreciation for those who have supported me so here it is, my 'These Are The Times' rework of Subspace - Thirteen. Enjoy! :)

Ultramajic have opened a new portal to their roster, welcoming Lando in with the "Stunts" EP. Fresh off the release of his remix of Dorisburg’s "Dimension Sculpture" via his own label Myth Music, Lando offers up five slick hypnotic tracks, with pulsing basslines that are right at home in the Ultramajic universe.

After serving the past decade with numerous collaborations on some of the most recognised and respected labels, Marco Faraone new Imprint "UNCAGE" has finally set forth. With the partnership of his Berlin-based friend Norman Methner, Uncage strives for free musical expression and desire for artistic and musical expression, the search for established artists already on the scene and new upcoming talents, ready and willing to share this new project with the world.

This label has set itself many new goals for the future.

Marco Faraone - Rotaryknobs (Radio Slave Remix)

Floorplan - Baby, Baby

Young UK based producer Cleric has established himself not only as a bonafide new talent and key player in the International Techno world, but also as a prolific artist on Figure.

Now well known for his crisp, deadly club tracks and rich melancholic ambient studies, in this fifth single for the label he explores his hard-hitting yet luxurious sound ever further.

What's immediate about the four tracks on offer here is Cleric's extremely powerful, yet masterfully controlled bass frequencies. Coupled with his addictive, smart and dark 90s-reminiscent synth hooks, we're left with an array of stomping, percussive weapons primed for expansive spaces and killer sound systems.

From the storming energy of opening cut The Key of Night all the way through to the deeper- tripping Solar Fields it's a must-have EP for 'those who know'.

Available now! A new remix for Joel Mull's Sensory album. This track is an excellent example of the sound I strive to go for. Stripped back, hypnotic, moody, and heavy in all the right places.

The Monolith tag is a new series of ideas of tracks and remixes I have started that focuses on more of a stripped down approach rather than high-intensity big room club jams.

// OUT NOW //

This tune is truly worth your attention! Township Rebellion's 'Pelikan' will surely let your mind drift away and catch your thoughts. Bundling two sublime remixes by Kellerkind (Stil Vor Talent) and Matchy & Bott (Katermukke), this release offers you tension and distance at the same time. All in all something exceptional and we're very happy to put this out on Moonbootique Records.

Township Rebellion - Pelikan (Original)

We have a premiere from the 'Viscera' EP and 'Vena Cava' is another DJ favourite. It's just been included in Jackmaster's upcoming DJ Kicks mix and it's a real gem.

It's deep, brooding and features a gnarly set of stabbing piano chords. The riffs are warped and the horns are super menacing making this perfect if you want a DJ tool that packs something completely different. Expect to hear this a lot this summer.



Premiere: Fango 'Vena Cava'

Mario da Ragnio is back on Marco Resmann´s Berlin based Upon.You imprint. After his label debut – in collaboration with Jonathan Kaspar – last year, he now started his first solo mission on Upon.You Digital. "Gelati“, the opening track of his "Mode Of Note“ EP, is a vibrant Techno tune driven by its pumping bass drums accompanied by a forward moving stab theme and psychotic background noises. Perfect supply for the late summer season...

Head to review: http://bit.ly/2avHJs6

Mario da Ragnio ist zurück auf Marco Resmanns Berliner Upon.You Imprint. Nach seinem Labeldebüt im vergangenen Jahr, das er gemeinsam mit Jonathan Kaspar bestritt, wandelt er nun auf Solopfaden und veröffentlicht den 2-Tracker „Mode Of Node“ auf Upon.You Digital. Unser Premierentrack „Gelati“ ist der Opener dieser EP und ein lebhafter Techno-Tune, der, getrieben von  seinen pumpenden Bassdrums, begleitet von einem immer weiter vorwärts schreitenden Stab-Motiv und unterlegt mit psychedelischen Hintergrundsgeräuschen, ganz sicher für die eine oder andere Ekstase auf den Floors der Spätsommersaison sorgen wird...
