Worakls:

"The first time I visited this city was really inspiring for me. Walking in the same streets than so many composers, who made the music history. Mozart was probably hanging out in the same places I was visiting, breathing the same air, laughing and composing around. He was there before and let his mark in the whole city and in the world as well. Back from the gig I was there for, I couldn’t sleep without writing some melodies, I hope you’ll be travelling in this beautiful city listening to it. "

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.

Following Tripeoʼs excellent album ʻAnipintirosʼ, he's asked a few of his key techno buddies to remix the release. This has resulted in two fine EPs of reworked versions, by the likes of Blawan, Mike Parker and our choice cut here, from James Ruskin. 

Ruskinʼs rework hails to an unmistakably UK sound, adding a very welcome new dynamic to Tripeo's original. 

This one is due in stores February 2nd...

Bade Records returns this March with ‘Network’ from label co-founders Brothers
Black.
Originally from London and now residing in Berlin are techno duo Brothers Black. With forthcoming releases on Gynoid Audio, Counter Pulse, Voxnox Records and Safer At Night, their analog sound is becoming increasingly familiar on the techno circuit. ‘Network’ showcases both the functional and emotional sides to the duo. The title track kicks off the release, combining driving percussion with delicate and hypnotic synth work. ‘Clarice’ follows in a more fidgety style, layering an FM-style lead with a haunting pad and vocal. ‘Analog Relief’ contrasts the other two original tracks with an uplifting, luscious pad and 90s-influenced lead, perfect for the early hours of the morning. Sept showcases his trademark sound with his remix of ’Network’, teaming rolling percussion with mesmerising synths to create a peak-time weapon.

Mastered by Conor Dalton at Calyx Mastering, Berlin. Artwork by Patrick Carter.

Brothers Black - Network

As we turn the page, Erics father wakes up with the moon light beaming on his face through the shattered glass, he's still in the warehouse, still sat tied to a wooden chair. He's dazed, trying to comprehend the mess that this father and son relationship has escalated to. Closing his eyes for just a moment of thought, he reopened them to find Eric standing over him, looking relentlessly unhinged. In Eric's hand is a bunch of paperwork, 'Look at this, look at this, you thought you could hide this from me!?!' he shouted. His father recognises the documents that hold the details of his safety deposit box. Through the grit of his teeth, he says to Eric, 'Thats all i have, all i've managed to keep from you, how can you treat your own flesh and blood like this. You make me sick, your no son of mine'. Within a split second of the last syllable leaving his lips, he feels the impact of a devastating left hook, Eric follows with 'You know why, and don't fucking tell me you don't!' As he picks up the paperwork and leaves the building with a smirk, his father lies there out cold, claret dripping on the floor.

The soundtrack comes from another heavily rooted Midlands connection with over a decade of experience in UK rave & techno culture. Chris Finke aka He/aT joins the Prodigal Son crew with two exceptional and rowdy original tracks, appropriately named, yet in true He/aT formation, we welcome to wax 'A Sorry State Of Affairs' and 'Not Exactly The Summer Of Love, Is It'. The latter of the two receives two remixes from Berlin based Brit Ed Davenport's alias Inland. He supplies both a sturdy Dub mix and an invaluable Melodimix.

About the EP :
For our 103rd vinyl strike we’re honoured to welcome Flug to 100% Pure.
Flug, as his name suggests, allows his audience to take a trip back to their roots, back to their
inner self and what it is to really feel techno. The Argentinian´s definition of techno has been
clearly demonstrated not only through his DJ sets in clubs and festivals all around the globe
that are as devastating as they are uplifting with his serious kick drums, use of hi-hats and
reverberating bass lines, but also through driving his own organically produced techno forward
through his releases and remixes. His music is now recognized and played worldwide due to his
unrivalled and brutal self-discipline in the studio, his humbleness in approach, his fierce passion
and overall dedication.
For 100% Pure, Flug has produced I Like Stress EP comprising 2 remixes by label head 2000
and One and artistic duo Atoll.

Dutch duo Abstract Division (aka Paul Boex and Dave Miller) present ‘Aftermath EP’, a four track package due *release date* on the eponymous imprint from Milan based collective Just This. Featured in the release are remixes from Peter Van Hoesen and VRIL. 
Title track is a subtle dancefloor killer with funky cyclic rhythms and peculiar harmonies, followed by ‘Isolated’, a subdued yet dizzying dose of syncopated drums and crystalline melodic inflections. 
For his interpretation of ‘Isolated’, VRIL mutates the stripped back hypnotism of the original into a maximal, angular workout, whilst Peter Van Hoesen focuses on the dizzying loops of the original, repurposing them into an immersive spiral of funk driven techno. 
‘Aftermath EP’ fuses elements of ambient and soulful techno for an understated but powerful package.

Nachtdigital Mint marks the last edition of Nachtdigital Festival: After more than two decades it is time for a change. Over the course of the past eight years, Nachtdigital has given birth to a dozen releases in various formats. "Nachtdigital Mint" is the final statement - a return to the roots, in its most accomplished form.

Starting with a single 10inch release in 2011, the Nachtdigital label has evolved both musically and visually. 2017 saw the release of the first double LP with gatefold cover - a format that since has become the preferred mode of operation. For the last two years, Nachtdigital has focussed primarily on commissioned works, with thematically curated releases. The "Nachtdigital Mint" compilation marks the return to the original idea of the label: To compile tracks from artists of this year’s festival program, without much fuzz about conceptual works. The result is refreshingly energetic and gives a glimpse into the heterogeneous sound of the festival itself: Combining young talents with accomplished producers, raw sounds with dreamy delicacies. Side D was compiled in collaboration with Prague’s club institution Ankali - a fitting closing statement, as collaborations are what Nachtdigital has always been about.

Since bursting onto the scene back in 2009, Markus has stayed faithful to his minimal tech roots, creating mind-altering releases for everyone from Rekids to Figure by way of his own SCKT imprint. An artist at heart, his music is very often made without a dance floor in mind: testament to his studio craft that he’s become such a potent force in the scene.   Lead track, ‘6AM’ is an homage to the early morning groovers, who, blurry-eyed, still inhabit the floor when everyone else has left the club. The true heads who appreciate the ebb and flow of a night and grasp onto the embers with joyous abandon. Reflective and somber, muted chords work against ricochet sonics as Suckut’s hypnotic power takes you over for one last hurrah before the lights come on.

ENVOY | DARK MANOEUVRES (Slam Remix)
[Soma 360D]

 
1.	Envoy – Dark Manoeuvres (Slam Remix)
2.	Envoy – Dark Manoeuvres (Original Mix)


Slam get to grips with Envoy’s 1996 classic, ‘Dark Manoeuvres’ in this latest EP release. Soma have been bringing some of Envoy’s classic releases up to date with Slam following Ricardo Villalobos in reinterpreting the earlier work, all of which leads to May’s release on Soma of new material by Envoy. 

Dark Manoeuvres is a track which lives up to its name, the original expressing pumping, dark and crunchy sounds interspersed with string arrangements and overdubs which move the track in various different directions. The 1996 original is a great example of some production techniques of the time and is of interest in identifying the direction of the Techno sound in that era, as well as being eminently listenable. 

Slam were very much involved in the progression of Techno at the same time as Envoy was creating tracks such as Dark Manoeuvres and as such they have a real handle on how things have evolved, enabling them to bring a classic release such as this bang up to date. 

The distinctive hook, attention-grabbing melody and strings which are distinctive elements of the original are all incorporated in a full and fresh dynamic which sees some of these elements regrouped in individual sections such as the strings or moulded with deeper, darker resonance into a new expression. The hi-hat and kick drum interplay still drives the rhythm keeping that element as a prominent part of the track, setting a strong foundation that was integral to the original. Some of the more idiosyncratic elements of the original such as the aquatic overdubs, highlighting production, are reconstructed with use of modern technology to provide waves of highly imposing, building sound at crucial points in the track.

This is a great remix by Slam elevating the original track and elements within it to provide a new and totally engaging release which still expresses all the great qualities of the original. This will be a firm favourite with old and new fans of both Envoy and Slam.
