B R 1 0 0 2 is a two heads project from the middle of Italy. The newcomers delivered a four tracks raw banger EP, imposing a powerful straight and distorted sound. Despite their short activity, their works are highlighting a background that is haunted by proper hardcore techno primordiums. The most classic drums are wearing a much heavier and dirtier design; upfront kick drums and filthy biting percussions are tracking the march through synthetic riffs of acidic synthesizers, providing a dogged industrial vibe.

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Ø [Phase]- Perplexed (Rødhåd's Extended Mix)

artist: Benny Rodrigues
title: The Choice Is Mine EP
cat nr.: WOLF030
format: 12” vinyl & digital
release date: 1st of june (vinyl), 15th of june (all download portals)
file under: Techno
tracks: 
A1 The Choice Is Mine
B1 The Choice Is Mine (Rødhåd Remix)

Dutch legend and Wolfskuil inner circle member Benny Rodrigues returns to the label for a fresh twelve. In the DJ booth he has no equal and established himself as one of the world’s premier selectors. Besides his ominous DJ skills, Benny has been making waves in the studio the last couple of years as well. Wether it be as ROD or under his own name, respected imprints worldwide have embraced and released his productions with eagerness. Klockworks, CLR, Drumcode and Desolat are just a few of the labels he can call home now.

Wolfskuil wouldn’t be Wolfskuil if we didn’t pick the ‘odd one’ of the litter. The Choice Is Mine might be the most freaked out & modulated excersize Benny has yet to unleash upon the world. No 4 bars in this mental trip are the same, ever evolving around a sequence that brings old 90’s warehouse techno to mind. 

A peaktime monster like this deserves a royal rework. Berghain resident, Dystopian head honcho and man of the moment Rødhåd happily agreed to give his own and unique vision on the original. The result is stunning, psychedelic and with a little unexpected surprise in the final part of his remix and compliments the original in a perfect. Another Gem in our catalogue, we hope you will enjoy this as much as we do!

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 29th of September 2014

Located beyond Neptune's orbit is the dwarf planet Haumea, the inspiration behind Rødhåd’s second release for Token. It follows his Spomeniks 12” from last year which the Berliner used to debut on the Belgian label, the only other imprint he’s released with other than his own Dystopian Records. Over the past three years Rødhåd’s reputation has sky-rocketed, not only as an accomplished producer with five releases to his name, but as a big room DJ whose formidable presence behind the decks demands as much respect as DVS1 and German big guns Dettmann and Klock.

No longer a newcomer to the scene, Rødhåd is now a respected staple of European techno and his three-track Haumea single features an alternative Dirt version of the title-track mixed by the Dystopian co-founder, and a second remix by Token mainstay Ø [Phase]. Rødhåd’s return to Token provides the label with their penultimate record before the unveiling of their landmark 50th release, Aphelion, a CD and triple vinyl showcase of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for the deluxe release.

Rødhåd’s return succeeds Surgeon’s official debut on Token earlier this month with his Fixed Action Pattern 12”, which first bore news of the Aphelion compilation, and here Rødhåd provides a linear alternative to the distorted, industrial dub of Anthony Child’s Token missive. “Haumea” is a bleepy production that straddles the divide between the Detroit techno of Jeff Mills and newer European interpretations mixed with coarse hi-hats that cut straight through the mix. The B-side’s Dirt version provides a minimal alternative which strips the original’s murky low end, and as a result emphasis falls on lucid drum machine programming which exhume alien bleeps from the deep. For some extra heat Ø [Phase] brings the booming sound of his Frames Of Reference LP to Haumea with a chugging remake courteously titled ‘Satellite remix’ complimenting the theme of this spacey record.

The unstoppable force that has become the Will & Ink label now offers up its first remix EP. Those hand picked to work their own magic on three originals by the the Will & Ink production duo are Fachwerk’s Roman Lindau, Greek born Emmanuel and Yaleesa Hall, the mysterious artist who released her debut EP on this label back in 2014. 

Up first is techno heavyweight Roman Lindau, who is a key part of the Fachwerk label. He tackles ‘Mersellanious’ from the Mersenne EP and does so with his usual stripped back, well swung sense of techno funk. Next up is ARTS label owner Emannuel, who goes for a fierce, intense and edgy peak time techno banger full of raw texture and incendiary drums on his remix of 'Third Wilson' from 2013. Lastly, Yaleesa Hall sets to work on a track from the same EP and does so with a little, fluid sense of hypnotic techno groove that comes embellished with heady synths and a real sense of purpose. Once again here the Will & Ink label is showing the way when it comes to contemporary techno talent.

Slam & Gary Beck - Pressure Lights - Soma

 First pressing in very limited red 180g vinyl.

Andre Kronerts seminal EXU EP gets a comprehensive rework from some of the most outstanding on the scene. Tense and sinister new cuts from Kronert introduce both sides of the release, whilst the label calls upon remixes from Berlin mainstays Efdemin and Ed Davenport, as well as Hollands finest export Juan Sanchez, plus Stockholm LTD label boss Par Grindvik alongside fellow Swede Peder Mannerfelt.

Retaining the slurred vocal of the original, Efdemin layers thundering effects over chasmic bass in his mix of Into The Zone, which saw heavy rotation last year. Meanwhile Davenport brings a wild yet streamlined intensity to C.O.D.E.2.
Side B sees Grindvik team up with Mannerfelt to provide a joint interpretation of Into The Zone, which they manipulate into a peak-time epic, with a soaring melody over hammering toms. Finally, Juan Sanchez channels funk through Roll The Dice with a twitchy, groove-laden rework.

The spirit of EXU is made physical once again via 12 inches and 27 minutes of wax.

➟ Beatport: btprt.dj/1RbU7H0

Artist: Julian Wassermann ➟ @julian-wassermann // Oliver Deuerling ➟ @oliver-deuerling
Release Title: Monopterus
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT166
Release: 11.03.2016
Incl. Remix by Björn Störig

Munich based producers Julian Wassermann & Oliver Deuerling stick to their roots on their “Monopterus” EP. A sonic incursion into the deep ends of house and tech, the duo pay homage to their hometown, as each title track points us in the direction of a well known city landmark.

Much like the monument with the same name, “Monopterus” is a solid construction starting off with an exposed kick that’s soon suspended by intricate melody parts, spare percussion and ethereal synths. Björn Störig tones down the drama on the remix. By focusing on the percussive line, Störig reshapes the melody, giving the track a relentless groove with major peak-time appeal.

“Muechner Freiheit” surprises with its minimalist ambiental approach, as looped piano chords create a sense of celestial atmosphere. The track is stripped back and hypnotic, adding to its sense of airiness. “Schwabing” combines the complementary essences of the past two original tracks, fusing an atmospheric ambiance with a steady, energetic percussion. Hazy vocals increase the oneiric sensation, anticipating the uplifting and elating breakdown. The final track is a robust cut that's full of tension and brooding darkness. Whirring synths and electronic squelches intertwine with ghastly vocals, amping up the murky factor.“Omen” showcases an elegant exercise in layering unusual textures, and the perfect track to finish off the release.

MOTE033 :: SHIFTED :: RAZORS EP
Following the release of his critically acclaimed album, Crossed Paths, Shifted’s next release on Mote-Evolver is the incendiary Razors EP.
The EP opens with title track ‘Razors’ a six minute odyssey. Sounds are layered one on top of another and create a strictly cyclical structure. Shaking, rattling sounds helicopter overhead, syncopated noise unfurls in the mid-ground and underneath hypnotic beats are laid down relentlessly. It’s a dizzying combination.
Following on from this disorientation ‘Over’ ratchets up the BPM and rules it with an iron fist. This is merciless techno that’s full of intelligent details. Out of nowhere jangling blips and bleeps collide with feral bass. Shifted is no stranger to creating dance floor optimised cuts and ‘Over’ is the sound of a producer with a very finely honed craft.
The flip side begins with ‘Bloodless’ a title that suggests cold hearted, zestless deeds and a track that is ironically anything but bloodless. Rendered in twisted beats and synthesised noise there’s a cautionary tale to be heard, a warning about shiny surfaces that conceal deadening agendas.
The EP closes with the unsettlingly ‘Trouble’. It’s just as likely to have you listening reclined, with your eyes closed, as it is to leave you slightly paranoid looking over your shoulder. The palette is stripped back giving rise to psychologically charged atmospherica. ‘Trouble’ leaves you with far more questions than it answers.
Across the ‘Razors EP’ Shifted displays the range and diversity of his productions with refined electronic experiments next to broken beats and strange atmospherica aside lethal dance cuts.

“When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?”

 Things are running so fast, to nowhere. It looks like mankind has realised that any effort to find a reason to justify its own existence is actually useless.
At the end we finally gave up, seeing ourself as monsters rather than the amazing creatures designed to rule the universe.
Our evolution, that we can definitely assume to be an involutionary process, turned the human kind being into a condition where the race probably got to the maximum of the biological possibilities. What will come next? Is it possible that the next step will involve creatures whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards?
Probably those entities will be able to "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives reaching the “post human condition” while seeking to maintain intellectual rigor and a dedication to objective observations.
Mankind’s hunger for keeping the evolution of techniques and tools vivid and alive brought our kind to struggle to feed itself of artificialism, spoiling biodiversity and setting itself as a black hole which swallows everything. The act of digesting creates nothing but toxicity that keeps on spoiling our planet and the life forms which populate it.
Since mankind started ruling the world, this process never stopped. Even when the balance was found, mankind kept growing, expanding and evolving, reaching a condition which is distant to the natural feelings of our race.
Hypothetically, we’re trying to ascend to an higher plane of existence in order to have a better control of the Earth and its happenings, despite the harsh fact that life has became harder for most of the animated beings which populate it, even for humans themselves.
As humans are conscious entities, surviving isn't enough, as our needs push us to make the most of our own psycho/physic resources in order to shape our own vision of things on a satisfactory base. This allows us to feel in peace and harmony with our surrounding world.
Besides the fact that more and more people all over the world have to struggle in order to ensure their own existence, a constantly decreasing number of people are able to focus on the happiness, having no direction to follow. The balance which ruled existence got lost and probably the time for a radical change for our little corner of the universe is getting closer and closer. A natural flux of renewed energy will come to set up a new order and renew the existence cycle over our planet.
“The end was contained in the beginning”, all we can do at this point is just to wait for the advent of the new cycle, wait for the advent of the MONOLITH to set the new order.
