Luke Slater - She Showed Me Heaven [Radial remix]

Going for impact and stand-out sound design, VRIL offers 'Thronwagen' - a mesmerising arrangement of synth layers, classic Techno stabs and overlapping themes. Already well-known for his powerful drums and bottom end control, this more musical piece goes a long way to showcase some of the German producer's many other talents.

INFO
Token certainly have their staples - Ctrls, Ø [Phase] or Inigo Kennedy making regular appearances. The last release on Token for example, Ø [Phase]'s 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' 12” showed the producer enjoys a level of familiarity with the label, allowing him to indulge his more leftfield tendencies, resulting in some truly captivating dancefloor moments.

Just as often Token will ingratiate new talent to the roster however, continuously reshaping their boundaries. The most recent record comes from one such new addition. In the wider sense though, it'd hardly be fair to call Parisian producer Antonin Jeanson aka Antigone fresh-faced. Since debuting in 2011 on Zadig's then relatively new Construct Re-Form label, Jeanson has enjoyed an impressively consistent run of releases, despite his penchant for sounds which are a little out of the ordinary.

His inaugural release with Kr!z's Token Records, the 'Cantor Dust' EP, is similarly reflective of his inclination to mix the abstract with the functional. Jeanson's movements across the release are difficult to second guess – 'Anna Livia' opens with Klaus Schulze reminiscent, spacial electronica, yet the serenity doesn't last for long. 'Enter' asserts Jeanson’s dancefloor sensibilities, chugging forward unfalteringly. The track builds at a steady pace, before the anthemic 'Prime Mover' provides a sudden release of tension. Jeanson’s reverberant stabs lunge forward, driving low-end thudding militantly beneath.

From here the EP dives back into more sinister territories - the serpentine 'Voltage' or gurgling, abstract melodies of 'Astragal' have a similarly rugged texture to them. 'Artefakt' is equally muscular, and undoubtedly one of the record's most climactic moments. The interplay between rasping mechanical percussion, booming low-end and grinding drones is rushingly intense.

'Cantor Dust's structure proves well-designed to the last however. The celestial 'Blue Note' provides a moment of reflection, distant synthesisers easing out gently - an emotive chord progression floating melancholically above Jeanson’s booming rhythms. It is the calm after the storm, a moment to savour, and reflect on the trip.

Blossoming from the depths of the French industrial town Saint Etienne, Jacques Satre delivers the second release of Positive Education’s label, Worst Records. Part of this 3 tracks record, ’Anatole Trance’ is a massive 88 bpm trance techno jam which dabbles in experimentalism complete with aural hallucinations saturated with expansive synths shimmering out in all directions. A journey under a grey sky that turns more and more luminous as the track evolves. It is a steamy effort that oozes intoxicating downtempo and rounds out a truly inventive EP.  Run, dig this record, out on march 11th. 
Future Sound Of Saint-Étienne is on its way to worldwide sound systems, yeah.

While we're all confined to quarters and looking for things to occupy us, we were excited to hear that friend of the label Transcode had been putting his time to good use, putting his own unique spin on "Carnival of Souls". We love what he's done with it, and are pleased to share it with you here as a free download!
