Lewis Fautzi
Intense Mechanism EP

Vinyl

Digital
1. Induced Pulse
2. Undirected Differential
3. Intense Mechanism
4. Stimulated Desorption 



Portuguese scfi maker Lewis Fautzi is here again with his very own recipe about how the music of the future should sound like.


His style has evolved to harsher territories lately, with distortion appearing as one of the main components here.
First cut Induced Pulse is a broken groove exercise, with pounding kicks and vocal samples providing the introduction while obscure components join the march as the minutes go.


Undirected differential goes straight to the point from the beginning, with obsessive sequences running across a solid paced rhythm. The synth line evolves continuously, changing the filter frequency, mutating and constantly changing.


B side opens with Intense Mechanism ,in a galactic mood with one bar arpeggiated sounds, modulated wisely running over a blurred and distorted drum line.


Last slice is Stimulated Desorption, again hypnosis and repetition as leitmotiv with similar sound components as the previous one but with a more shuffled drum approach.

Preview - Lewis Fautzi - Intense Mechanism EP - PoleGroup62

Celebrating ten years of his vital Truncate imprint, David Flores aka Truncate recruits techno royalty James Ruskin and Luke Slater for a set of hard-hitting remixes alongside two of his own originals for the 22nd release on the label.

"To celebrate this milestone it felt fitting to ask for remixes from none other than techno legends Luke Slater aka Planetary Assault Systems and James Ruskin to make this release extra special” - Truncate

Operating under his Planetary Assault Systems alias, Slater turns in three remixes of ‘First Phase’ across the EP, with each interpretation distilling his decades of experience into equally functional and engaging techno jams. Truncate’s original mix of ‘First Phase’ blends shuffling percussion, oscillating low-end, and tweaked out synthesis for a pumping, no-nonsense cut.

‘The Eve’ sees the Californian DJ/producer bring trippy leads, crunching claps, and tricky FX processing together for a mind-bending jam. Taking no prisoners, James Ruskin’s remix is a no holds barred peak time track, marrying detailed stereo wizardry and rumbling bass with evolving modulations throughout.
Primarily an outlet for his own productions, Flores’ Truncate has become a touchstone for quality, groove-based techno over the past ten years. While winning an army of techno fans, the label has also won plaudits from house DJs for its more jacking and groovy releases. Running parallel to the label’s success, Truncate has also become one of the most bankable techno DJ/producers around, appearing on a broad range of well-regarded labels as well as regularly playing techno institutions like Movement Festival, Awakenings, fabric, Berghain and many more.

Release date (vinyl & digital): 16th of November

TRACKLISTING
A1. Carnage
A2. Spirit Train
B1. Titan
B2. Elektra

INFO
Oscar Mulero returns to Token. Titan follows up 2018's Electric Shades EP and marks the Spaniard's fourth appearance on the label. A brace of uptempo, dance-floor focused tracks in the artist's inimitable style, the EP showcases the veteran producer's knack for memorable sonic motifs and enviable studio prowess.

As ever, the music feels fresh and modern. Driving, polyrhythmic recording Carnage sets the tone for the record-high energy and off-kilter, it's a dense workout that feels as focused as it does powerfully untethered. Hypnotic follow up Spirit Train channels the best of the heads-down end of the genre with a single delayed synth that warps across its runtime, buoyed by exquisite drum programming and bound neatly by the artist's precision engineering. Title track Titan heads up the B1 and the EP shows no sign of slowing. High energy from the start, Mulero delivers an exemplary slice of peak-time acid-Techno that finds extraordinary energy in its crisp main riff. Elektra closes out the EP and focuses heavily on groove. A single reverberating lead synth sequence does the bulk of the movement, moving in and out of the sonic periphery to build and release tension, all the while propped up by the chunky, driving drums that have powered the record throughout.

Blazej Malinowski - Probability (Dasha Rush Darker Shades Remix)

3,2,1.. lift off! Mukuna's tornado is heading your way and the only possible thing to do is to surrender to the tension. Industrial percussion, broken beat and glacial synthesisers are soaking you right into the eye of the storm. A variety of drums combined with African chants are another introduction of a new whirly roundabout. Fast and furious melodies are evolving into a mind-bending techno track, ready to hypnotise and sweep you of your feet in Mukuna’s twister. A refreshing blend of dancehall influenced tracks with jacking house and rhythmic noice keeps the mix interesting till the very last second until the storm settles. Enjoy flying!

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Jeroen Search - Revised Config [Platform 22]

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

GiGi FM is a trained dancer, which gives her a deeper insight into the intrinsic relationship between music and bodily movement. You can read a lot more about her philosophy and approach in the interview below, but you don't even need to know about it to hear this in her RA Podcast—a collection of swirling deep techno that rivals anything made by the usual cohort of "hypnotic" techno heads.

Looking at the tracklist doesn't really do it justice, but the names involved give you an idea of what to expect: Varuna, ASC, Donato Dozzy, The Orb, Sunju Hargun. This is techno that ripples rather than bludgeons, that moves with an ethereal grace, where tracks bleed into one another beautifully, with a few surprises, too. While you're here, you should check out her Magnetite EP for Bambounou's label Bambe, already one of the young year's most bewitching techno records. But if this is your introduction, then turn off the lights, light a candle or some palo santo, and sink into two hours of your new favorite techno DJ.

Modularz 56 
Exemption Ep
by Drop-E

Out - March 12, 2022

MODULARZ 56 // EXEMPTION  // DROP-E


Release date (3LP, cd & digital format): 3rd of November

TRACKLIST
1. Ø [Phase] - Insectoid
2. Lucy - Sana Sana Sana Cura Cura Cura
3. Ctrls - x.y
4. Rødhåd - Haumea
5. Planetary Assault Systems - The 808 Track (Parts 1 and 2)
6. James Ruskin - No Trace
7. Surgeon - Fixed Action Pattern
8. Inigo Kennedy - Arcing
9. Karenn - Pace Yourself

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]
Jessamine [://about blank]
Eli Pavel [OYE Records]
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.
