To celebrate the fifteenth release of the ÆX series the Amsterdam label presents a special collaboration with Delsin Records. ÆX started back in 2017 as a white-label offshoot from the Indigo Aera imprint, Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff had a plan to create a platform with a mix of like-minded unknown, well-known and admired artists. This no-nonsense approach with stamped white labels and uncredited tracks quickly grew up to be one of their most committed projects to date.

Four years later and fourteen releases in, ÆX015 is a special split EP in collaboration with the closely related Delsin Records. Both labels invited three names to present a fresh and dancefloor focussed pack of grooves and moods.

On ÆX's a-side, three familiar faces Taupe, Emeline (also known as the Parisian artist Molly) and label curator Jasper Wolff bring their warm, acidic, bass-heavy grooves in typical fashion. The b-side comes from Delsin who introduces three new artists to the team. R.O.W.S from the Swedish sewer sender crew going in with a miles-deep dub-techno take. From Barcelona, it's Annie Hall with an emotive blend of her crispy electro. At last there's Yone-ko wrapping up the pack with grooving subtle hazy house moods.

Bringing the heat! Veteran Chicago footwork producer Jana Rush delivers a powerful blast of tight rhythms. Having started to DJ at the age of 10 and produce at 13, Jana Rush has developed her own unique take on the beloved genre. We're longtime fans of her slinky, shimmering productions and are absolutely thrilled to have her on the Body Verse series. Thanks so much Jana!!

BODY MIX 010 | Jana Rush

Podcast #55 stammt von Jana Rush (https://soundcloud.com/planetmurecords) aka https://soundcloud.com/jaru-1, einer der interessantesten Künstlerinnen Chicagos, der Stadt von Dance Mania. Das Label um DJ Deeon und seine Crew haben Jana musikalisch großgezogen und geprägt, seit sie im Alter von elf Jahren anfing aufzulegen. Keine Überraschung, dass sie in dieser Szene später auch DJ Rashad und andere Teklife Künstler kennenlernte. Dennoch fehlte ihr damals das Vertrauen in ihr eigenes Talent und Jana entschied sich, sich zunächst auf einen "richtigen" Job zu konzentrieren. In ihrem Artistprofile kann man zum Beispiel lesen, dass sie bei der Feuerwehr arbeitete, als Chemie-Ingenieurin bei einer Ölraffinerie und gerade als CT-Scan Assistentin im Krankenhaus. Musik war dabei immer eine Art mentale Rettungsleine für sie, etwas an das sie sich klammmern konnte wenn der Stress des Alltags zu groß wurde oder die Depression, mit der sie kämpfen musste, die Oberhand gewann. Indem sie diesen Struggle in ihrer eigenen Musik einfließen ließ (und immer noch lässt) hat sie ihren eigenen Sound und so am Ende zu sich selbst gefunden. "Painful Enlightenment" heißt dann passenderweise auch ihr aktuellstes Album. In den letzten Jahren konnte sie nicht nur als DJ Dancefloors auf der ganzen Welt beglücken sondern auch einige grandiose Releases auf Labels wie Objects Unlimited oder Planet Mu veröffentlichen, wo auch ihr neues Album "Dark Humor" im März rauskommt. Im April steht auch eine kleine Tour durch Europa an, die von Corona hoffentlich nicht vermiest wird.

Um ihren Style zu beschreiben greift das Label "Footwork" definitiv zu kurz, vor allem da Jana selbst eher ein gespaltenes Verhältnis zum Genre und seinen Konventionen hat. Schlauerweise macht sie jedoch diesen Konflikt zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer musikalischen Experimente und zitiert, destilliert und dekonstruiert fast jedes bekannte Footwork Motiv von sich wiederholenden, wild zerstückelte und neu zusammengesetzte Vocalsamples, 808 Drumsounds, Rhythmen, die ihren Puls zwischen schnellen Offbeats und swingendem Halftime-Feel verschieben bis hin zu smoothen Jazz-, Rap- und Soulsamples, die auf die reiche Musikgeschichte des Genres und Chicagos selbst verweisen in eine düsterere, dystopische Version. Besonders in ihren eigenen Tracks drückt sie dieser Mischung einen Stempel auf, der von ihrem persönlichen Struggle erzählt, vom Widerstreit zwischen dem Etablierten, "Erwachsensein" und mit "richtiger Arbeit" Geld verdienen, Alltagsstress und Depression auf der einen Seite und Innovation, zu sich selbst finden, Vertrauen in die eigene künstlerische Stimme aufbauen und Halt in der Musik finden auf der anderen Seite. Die Grenzen zwischen DJ-Set und Live-Performance verlaufen dabei fließend, denn ihr Samplepad hat sie meistens auch beim Auflegen dabei. Big ups to Jana for this breathtaking mix!

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.

Line-up /

Inigo Kennedy [Asymmetric | Token]
Derek Plaslaiko [The Bunker New York]
LNS [Wania | Freak Out Cult]
Blazej Malinowski (live) [The Gods Planet]
Silva Rymd [://about blank]
Jay Quentin [Abyss | Headroom]

Kvrt [://about blank | poly|motion]

Unsere April-Generation fällt dieses Jahr auf Ostersamstag und findet somit schon am 31. März statt. Den Kurs auf dem MDF geben alte Bekannte und gute Freunde vor, denn sie wissen am Besten wie der Hase läuft. Besonders freuen wir uns, Inigo Kennedy mal wieder da zu haben und uns nicht nur musikalisch, sondern auch menschlich in seinen Bann ziehen zu lassen. Würde die Queen ihn persönlich kennen, würde sie ihn sofort zum 'Sir' schlagen. Blazej Malinowski ist ein Name den man sich merken sollte wenn man ihn noch nicht kennt, gerade sorgt er mit seinen melodischen treibenden live sets für viel Furore. Jay Quentin und Silva Rymd bilden geschmackssicher den idealen Rahmen.

In Sachen Geschmackssicherheit werden die Fachkräfte auf der Lobby ihnen dabei in nichts nachstehen. Derek Plaslaiko, der erste und letzte DJ mit einem 12h-Boiler-Room-Set, kennt den elektronischen Underground zwischen Berlin und New York wie kein anderer und weiß wie man die richtigen vibes legt. Die kanadische Newcomerin LNS machte mit Veröffentlichungen auf DJ Sotofett’s Wania Label und Jayda G’s Freakout Cult letztes Jahr von sich reden, auf sie sind wir schon sehr gespannt. Ebenfalls hochgefeiert wird Resident Jessamine’s eindrucksvolles erstes Release „More Love Later“ auf ://about blank 003.

In der Nacht wird Eli Pavel mit ihrem Balearic/Disco/Pop-Sound das Zelt zum Club Tropicana verwandeln, bevor Kvrt - frisch von eben jenem - die Holzbohlen und Apfelpos zum wackeln bringt.

****

The next Blank Generation is happening on Easter Saturday. Old friends are leading the way on our MDF floor, and they know best. We are more than excited, that Inigo Kennedy will be back again and not only musically, but also humanly cast a spell. Make sure to memorize Blazej Malinowski's name, he is making splashes with his melodic, energetic live sets. Jay Quentin and Silva Rymd will complete this tasteful arrangement.

Other experts in tastefulness will be playing in the Lobby. Derek Plaslaiko, the first and last DJ with a 12h-Boiler-Room-set, knows electronic underground music between Berlin and New York best and how to put the right vibes. The Canadian newcomer LNS has turned lots of heads with releases on DJ Sotofett's label Wania and Jayda G's Freakout Cult. Also highly praised: our resident Jessamine's first release "More Love Later" on ://about blank 003.

At night, Eli Pavel will turn the tent to Club Tropicana with her Balearic/Disco/Pop-sound, before Kvrt - fresh of the same - will make the floor shake.
