Asymmetric chief Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a top quality five track EP 'Seasonal Debris One', the first of a two-part series to close 2023.

From the skittering and evocative pads of opening track 'Neon Flashbacks' to the irresistible pump of 'Guiding Star' the release gets off to a captivating start. Centering the release is 'Disorientated', a truly mind-melting layering of sounds absolutely made for losing yourself in the dark. 'Crystal Caverns' places delightful rotating melodic shards against an irresistible rhythm and acid-like bass. Closing track 'Gritting My Teeth' is a heavy slab of menacing techno, setting the scene perfectly for the second release of the series.

OLYMPIAN 45 // HANS BOUFFMYHRE

Manuele Chiaravalloti is Mod21 an italian specialist in profound and elaborated techno we’ve been following for a long while. For this album he delivers the best of his abilities in production, diving deep into the most intricate realms in the genre.

What do we do now is the beatless introduction to this sonic journey setting the pace for Anthropology of failure introducing the beat but still meditative and liquid.

Doomsday Clock goes straight into danceable business, using effected continuous synth lines over a clean groove that grows in intensity as the beats go by. Several layers of pads add space to the sound in this dreamy techno number.

On Cold silence the beat goes busier and percussive elements are the main element making this one the perfect dj tool.

Black heart is electric and stripped down, using a few crispy synthetic elements to keep the tension although there is no kick in the equation.

Escalation of violence introduces a bit of distortion and roughness on the rhythm but preserving the mental approach on sequences and textures.

Beyond the edge of an habitable world slows down the pace and uses hypnosis via repetition to reach the appropriate state of mind in the first hours of the club.

 It gets into your brain follows, giving exactly what the title suggests, with an erratic synth line flowing over a relentless groove. This one will cause some brain damage when listened to on the proper sound systems.

Come on honey, it's real money funny title for a serious brain melting exercise that reminds us of the sound of early minimal heroes like Basic Channel. Man is a tool goes in the same direction, focusing on the dub side.

You were the good one Qerndu changes directions drastically, diving into scifi alien areas, obsessive and tooly.

The virtual denies tactility, removes the beat and reduces the sound elements to the minimum getting closer to the end of this sonic journey.

Last track, Loyalty does not end with death acts as an electronic lullaby where harmonies and lush pads are the starring.

Víctor Martínez aka Error Etica is one of the most prestigious producers of the Spanish techno scene, a seasoned veteran in electronic creation with a career spanning several decades whether as a producer, live artist or DJ. His works have seen the light on his own label and on many of the fundamental labels of the techno world, including our label, where he returns with a complete album of eleven songs, a sample of his breadth of registers within the most elaborate electronics.
 
From his small laboratory located in the La Rioja area, he replicates the ancient art of creating the best wines in the form of musical production, with an exhaustive knowledge of electronic tools and instruments to convey his timeless message.
 
This work moves from experimental landscapes full of precise details to elastic techno exercises for the busiest hours of the club, passing through risky forays with distortion as a fundamental weapon or broken rhythms. All of this varnished with a very IDM aftertaste that reflects his passion for the most intricate sounds of the British electronic tradition of artists like Autechre.
 
The result is a coherent soundtrack of a dystopian, intricate and mental future, a musical ecosystem that travels through unknown places, coming from the mind of an artist who translates with his machinery a complex and distant inner world, which is also capable of transporting to the stages with genius in one of the most dynamic Live Acts on the scene.
 
We are very pleased to be able to give the form of an album to this work of concept that brings to our catalog the dose of intelligence necessary to distance ourselves from the rest of the seasonal techno planet.

Spark

Inigo Kennedy is a pioneering and respected techno and electronic music producer and DJ. Since early on he experimented with electronics and technology and immersed himself in the airwaves, music stores and scenes of London, Manchester and beyond. From there has evolved his distinctive sound and attitude to music making and performance - entertaining accidents, taking risks and steadfastly following his heart rather than the herd.

He is well known for always bringing technical and creative originality and skill to his work - not least to his own innovative label Asymmetric which freely criss-crossed the electronic music landscape.

His DJ schedule has taken him all over the globe where he consistently plays energetic and emotionally-charged sets - often throwing in curve-balls or nodding to classic tracks that have shaped his own musical arc.

He has been responsible for a large and diverse back catalogue of releases and remixes on a number of labels around the world and has worked under a number of aliases such as Reducer and Tomito Satori. His discography stretches to well over 100 releases on vinyl, CD and digitally on established, if not seminal, labels such as Missile, Semantica, Stroboscopic Artefacts and current home, Token.

He is now a keystone of the Token label, having been responsible for its first release in 2007 and dozens of releases, remixes and collaborations since. He has planted seeds along the label's history with bold, distinctive and memorable tracks like 'Arcing', 'Cathedral', 'Obsidian', 'Plaintive', 'Voyager' and 'Tornado'. His critically acclaimed LP 'Vaudeville' released in 2014 perfectly captured his uniquely evocative sound and attitude.

Fast forward to 2018 and the culmination of his next steps with a powerful follow-up LP 'Strata' for Token. As the title of the tenth release on the label put it, onwards and wrongwards!
