Kr!z made his Blueprint debut last year with the 'Neutrino EP'.  Now he returns this April with the follow-up Revelation EP'.

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene.  After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ with sharp focus and a quick mixing style in home country Belgium and the Netherlands, Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007.  It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds. 

 He rapidly established the label as a fixed value with a timeless and powerful sound and took it around the world with label nights on every continent.  Token remains important in defining techno today - always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy – all under the helm of Kr!z as avid A&R.

After 12 years spent assiduously focused on curating the Token discography, showcasing artists he has nurtured and supported over this time, and incorporating the connoisseur’s knowledge and experience he has cultivated in his work as a DJ, 2019 saw the release of his long awaited debut EP on Token.  'Mantra' received high acclaim by both media and the scene's key DJs.

This continued in 2020, when he released the track 'Scorpion’s Tail' on Voltage Imprint and 'Malice' and 'Imperative Needs' as part of a split EP with Pfirter on his MindTrip label.  2022 was his most prolific year to date with three full EPs seeing the light of day: 'Neutrino EP' on James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records, 'The Tunnel' on Setaoc Mass' hotshot SK_eleven and ‘Atlantis’ on his own Token Records.

Entry Path (Ø [Phase] Edit)

Premiere: Toru Katsuta - Entry Path (Ø [Phase] Edit) [MDWXLP007]

DifferentSound Premiere // Takaaki Itoh

Blank Code is a Detroit, USA outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Drumcell, Mike Parker, Audio Injection / Truncate and many more.

The Blank Code co-founder Anthony Jimenez has also released on Mike Derer's Northern Parallels and Detroit Underground, while he has performed alongside Regis, Silent Servant and Developer. "Insurgent" is a spacey and tubular trip with warping acid and intense alarm-like, looping tones. The robotic vocal hit adds an unexpected twist with chanting sensation to this dance floor devastator.

Brian Sanhaji is a veteran producer and engineer in Berlin who returns to Blank Code, as well as having appeared on Chris Liebing's CLR, Heiko Laux's Kanzleramt, Droid Records and running the SENSOR and EgoTon labels. "Phasis" is a modular ride of freaky frequencies and crunching percussion. Bursting with energy and raw power, it showcases his fine analogue production with a sliver of experimentation.

Linear System is a Spanish artist who has released music on esteemed labels like Edit Select, Ben Sims' Symbolism and Dynamic Reflection. "Shape Shifter" is a brooding juggernaut made of raw tension that culminates in pounding, crushed drums as its main focus. Heavy and hypnotic it draws attention with its apocalyptic menace, but its ultimately a sharpened, underground club weapon.

Mexico's Luis Flores is another seasoned beat-maker who has released on Blank Code previously and also lists Ricardo Garduno's Illegal Alien, Emmauel's ARTS and Truncate's imprint. "Man Vs Nature" begins with a shuffling kick and swelling sub bass, followed by sci-fi bleeps and abstract sound effects. Almost cinematic overall, the scything synth creates a dystopian feeling of intimidating electronic growls.

San Francisco's Max Gardner has over a decade of releases and is the co-owner of Peer Audio. He has also appeared on Northern Parallels, Oktave as well as remixing Drumcell and Truncate. "Delamination" has a deep and jackin' stance from the word go, while its vitality increases from the sputtering hi-hats and fizzing touches. Steady, muted claps add even more vigour and the metallic stabs create a haunting, emotional experience.

Takaaki Itoh is one of Japan's most prominent techno artists who has released on Bas Mooy's Mord, Adriana Lopez's Grey Report, Developer's Modularz and Lewis Fautzi's Faut Section to name only a few. "Vital Blind" uses its quirky, stuttering hits to shape a spine of thumping percussion. Pulsing, modular-fuelled accents and electronic signals frame the sonic airwaves while being guided by a grungy, throbbing bassline.

Label: Blank Code

Title: M4 Compilation

Support here: https://tensal-kr3.bandcamp.com/album/forgiveness-of-blood-remixes 

Artist: Tensal
Title: Forgiveness of Blood Remixes 
Label: KR3 Records
Catalogue: KR3.011
Format: 12” Clear Vinyl & Digital

If "Forgiveness of Blood” | KR3.009 was marked by a modern vision of techno voiced by Tensal's sound, this remixes EP chronicles the tension that shapes the sound of the artists involved: SHED, Anthony Linell, Alessandro Adriani and Tensal himself.

Static and hypnotic waves of strain recur, even though the 4 tracks represent 4 different major expressions of what techno explicitly and implicitly stands for. Forgiveness of Blood Remixes - is a distillation of the modernist and nostalgic sound capable of impacting both on the dance-floor and mentally. Four strongly evocative tracks that narrate not only the artists' but also the label's path.

Tracklist:
A1. Tensal - New Regime In Force (Shed Remix) 
A2. Tensal - Revenge (Antony Linell Remix)
B1. Tensal - Innocence (Tensal Revisited)
B2. Tensal - Vanadium (Alessandro Adriani Remix)
