Samurai Music and Horo head honcho Presha presents an exclusive label mix that reflects the imprints' core sound identity.

"Instead of putting forward a mix that focused on upcoming music, I decided to go back to a period/vibe that I feel, in retrospect was one of the most important periods for Samurai Music as Horo began and started morphing into something of its own." — Presha

For our 238th Truancy Volume, we welcome one of techno's elite, Peter van Hoesen. As a producer and DJ, his evolution through the genre has been well documented via releases on Tresor, Curle and his own label Time To Express. Masterfully executed and prolific in output, Peter has always been just deeply concerned with the exploration and development of forward-pushing club sounds. We caught up with Peter to discuss his new label venture Center 91, as well as the references and warehouses experiences of the 90s rave scene that led to informing its first release Opal Balance. Wanting to return to his roots and integrate that cutting-edge Belgian attitude back into his DJ sets and productions, the four track EP sees Peter take those formative influences and provide his own contemporary take on it. Inspired by a string of shows in Medellin this year, Truancy Volume 238 takes on a similar narrative, albeit drawing more from an '80s crop of electronic music and artists. Expanding through a mixture of EBM and New Beat, whilst slowly working up to full-on hypnotic techno, this is Van Hoesen at his best, giving us depth in electronic music that can only come from years of dedication.

BLOCAUS PODCAST 50 | ANSWER CODE REQUEST

Welcome to the 50th session of Blocaus podcast.   
We receive as guest : Answer Code Request

Both as a DJ and a producer, Patrick Gräser aka Answer Code Request has honed a hybrid musical approach that stands out in a world of uniform 4/4 techno. Melding pad-driven harmonies, intricate breaks and an industrial sonic palette, Gräser has occupied a unique space within the Ostgut Ton cosmos since debuting on the label in 2012 and becoming a Berghain resident shortly thereafter. His various releases and remixes for Ostgut Ton, MDR, Dolly Deluxe and Monkeytown Records continue to be highly sought after. As a DJ, he has taken his bass- and breaks-heavy techno to clubs and festivals around the globe, while remaining an integral part of the Berlin scene.

Campfire Stories 63 (Spring Ray) by @tokifuko

~ About The Story ~

"I sit beside the fire and think 
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring 
That I shall ever see

For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know

But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet 
And voices at the door" 
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Campfire Stories 63 (Spring Ray) by Toki Fuko

Vårbäcken porlar
Sol skimrar i strimmor
Alla vårens blommor
kastas ut ur gryningens dimmor
Oh hans sång når mitt hjärta
genom vindarnas brus
Skimrande toner av strålande ljus

There’s got to be something in the water in Sweden… or it must be the beautiful abundance of lakes, forests and mountains. Whatever it is, we know we can’t get enough of the energy, inspiration and of course music coming out of the country thanks to a few key electronic music virtuosos. Skoll is undoubtedly one of them.

“Focusing on the deeper side of electronic music and influenced by the beautiful but harsh Scandinavian nature, esoterism and his fasciation for sound design, his music is located somewhere in between techno, ambient and drone, characterised by its deep and emotional elements, archaic ritualistic beats and dark atmosphere.”

Beyond his podcast for On the 5th Day which promises to transport you into an otherworldly land, we definitely recommend you check out Skoll’s latest Grief EP (951Beat), as well ‘Doctrine of the Ages’ from 2018 (Warok Music). It was on discovering this that we knew we had hit gold!

Recorded by @tokifuko for The Memoir, 2019
Curated by @hypnus

08. @tokifuko - Don't Trust The Humans (Apocalipto Version) [Unreleased]

The snowfalls of recent days has melted under the new moon and we are finally ready to turn another page in The Memoir.

This time we're greeted by the blissful beats of @tokifuko who's sounds and work with his outboard gear has been inspiring us lately. His music can be described as "mechanical signals structured into a hypnotic substance".

"I always liked tactile music writing and I've always wanted to control the electric wave by using drum machines locking them into a chain. It was hard for me to get results with the use of virtual instruments which led to the purchase of my first synthesizer. As a result, it has become an experiment in search for new forms and a race for the best sound in order to achieve better results."

Recently this talented producer released a wonderful EP on @silent-season which is well worth checking out.

Without further ado, we invite you to take a swim through the silky sounds of @tokifuko.

Love and light

"It kind of gives a picture of where Hypnus is today and it’s made a bit like a testament for myself to look back on in a few years to see how we’ve grown." — Ntogn
