Slam on fire with 3 hard hitting tracks on the Transcript EP

Soma label heads Slam drop their second EP of 2022, the Transcript EP. Continuing with their own brand of hi octane techno, the Glasgow duo ramp up the pressure with 3 killer tracks.

Let Go is an insane, rapid, acid techno workout complete with thundering percussion and a driving, relentless vibe. Title track Transcript is a perfect, heads down, dance floor burner with a retro heart. Unity closes out the EP with hypnotic vocals, looped out synths and a classic early-naughties hard groove beat.

Logical Inference EP
WU78d
1. Pyramidal Decode - A1a
2. Pyramidal Decode - Fara
3. Pyramidal Decode - Irrational
4. Pyramidal Decode - Research
5. Pyramidal Decode - Similar Function
6. Pyramidal Decode - Sospensione
7. Pyramidal Decode - Taj
 
Young talents are always welcome in our spaceship, Italian producer Pyramidal Decode has been making big waves on the scene lately with recordings released in labels such as Jeff Mills’ Axis Records amongst many others. His tunes have been constantly played by key dj’s worldwide and now it’s time to have him on command.
 
Relentless and precise techno is his speciality either with a 4/4 base or using broken rhythms. For his debut he is providing us with a 50/50 selection of hypnosis and breaks, starting with A1a an ever growing mental techno exercise using percussive elements combined with different kinds of noises and bleeps.
 
Fara is liquid and floaty, almost dubby, using elastic drum sounds and tensioned synth elements to create a track for the mind and the body.
 
Irrational goes deep and low, reverberated and glorious, like a techno track played inside a cathedral. Perfect to create atmosphere on the peak time of a proper club facility.
 
On Research the approach is direct and mental using flanged synth lines over a synthetic groove, constantly evolving and changing in shape but keeping hypnosis as a statement.
 
Similar Function returns to broken beats and density providing the experimental slice on this EP the kind of track you would play for an experienced audience.
 
Sospensione relies again on continuous effected sequences with a minimalistic approach using a few elements wisely to create the desired effect.
 
Taj is the last tune saying goodbye in an epic mood as we felt on Irrational, hyper reverberated techno for big spaces combining atmosphere with tension properly.

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.

Karenn - Pace Yourself

Jeff mills - the bells

01- Epiciclo.
02- Gravitatoria.
03- Metano.
04- Núcleo.
05- Morgoth.
06- Gravedad en Superficie.
07- El Cementerio de los Elefantes
08- Tierra Firme.
09- Transformación.
10-  Orografía.
11 - Lo impenetrable


Mysterious argentinian techno veteran Kølpos provides us with eleven exercises of music from the future in many different shapes. Starting with the compulsory beatless intro named Epiciclo, setting the pace for what comes next. 

Gravitatoria brings the beat in a profound style with a solid reverberated groove made of assorted drum elements and occasional drones flying over the evolving arrangement. 

In Metano things go asymmetrical and shuffled rhythmic wise, synthetic noises bring the heat as the track goes by, changing shape and motif, creating a proper hypnotic tool.

Núcleo increases the BPM rate while preserving the overall spacious feel of the previous numbers. Here the obsessive sequences are more prominent, drilling minds and bodies properly.

Morgoth is a slowed down interlude, with slow pitched broken beats and complex atmospheres on top, resetting the vibe to incorporate danceable action again with Gravedad en Superficie where the sound machine is at its full development with ever changing abstract sequences and a mental approach.

El Cementerio de los Elefantes keeps things busy, a no remorse relentless techno tool aimed for peak time action, as well as Tierra Firme that goes in the same vein.

Approaching the end of this soundtrack, things slowly go down to mental places with the deep and profound Terraformación and the abstract slice named Orografía.

Lo Impenetrable brings the spaceship to the homebase in the same style as started, an ambient epilogue with outerworld bleeps and textures.

When the PWCCA acronym shows up we immediately think about one of the most prolific producers in nowadays techno scene, but this phenomenon does not come for granted, he has been involved in electronic music since an early age, and he is not a newcomer whatsoever. 

His first contact with vinyl decks was deep into last century's nineties and soon after he discovered electronic computer rhythms with a primitive Roland Tr 606 Drum Machine.

Soon he fell in love with the raw British sounds of  Blueprint and Surface Records, Richard Polson, Oliver Ho, James Ruskin, the Birmingham gang … and that appeal to the groove has never left him since.

After a long musical trip as Dr. Cyanide decides to embrace this current PWCCA project we are now talking about, and this very long player means his definitive reaffirmation as one of the pillars of our label and as an extension to techno sound in general.

In this extended sonic excursion, PWCCA puts his sonic weapons at work with precise and pristine results:

Crispy textures, concrete bass drums, funky rhythm elements, rugged sequences, profound bass frequencies, all that always combined in super intelligent arrangements that seem cycled but embed a lot of soul inside.

Every single piece in this sonic puzzle has a reason to be there, nothing is superficial and every little detail has a meaning and a reason. 

It can be anabolic and gymnastic, it can be mental or asymmetrical, it can be from outer space or it can be from below the earth’s surface.

One thing is clear, his approach to sound is unique and this collection is a superb sample of his gifted capabilities with the machines.

Probably one of the most accurate collections of techno tools out there.

Our number 103 release comes by no other than Metro Skim, an analog technology specialist and true underground hero. He has worked for legendary labels such as Fat Cat or Steve Bicknell’s 6 dimension.

His personal vision on techno has attracted Jeff Mills or Dimi Angelis to name but a few, usually playing his works and now it’s time for us to have him in the house with a whole album.

Inside this collection you won’t find any intro or interlude, just raw and crude dancefloor exercises, provided at high tempos, rugged and merciless but mental and abstract at the same time.

You can smell the crudeness of hardware in every second of this workout from beginning to end. Tools that drill your mind and add organic spice to your mixes, carefully arranged and sound designed for optimal performance in the club.

Hypnotic and martian but also punchy and dynamic all this tunes definitely standout from the invasion of clones out there. This is timeless underground dance music at its best.

From the genesis of the project Metro Skim keeps things personal and unique, putting computers aside, maintaining the human versus machine interaction pure and direct.

For sure one of our most promising artists so far. We hope you feel the same. Welcome to another sound universe.

Franco Biglieri returns to Warm Up after his Black Tourmaline EP from 2022. This time he serves us eleven cuts digging deep into profound techno realms. The sonic voyage starts with Reflexión, a slow paced, heavy reverberated exercise ideal for setting the atmosphere in a proper club environment.

Voces means a transition to sci fi territories, more alien, a little bit faster than the previous cut and surrounded by shuffled rhythm elements and textures.Things get busier on Falla Gravitacional, again exploring into outer space, pushing the intensity further, adding distortion to the groove and deepness to the atmospheres, blending the physical and the mental into one entity.

El Títere is a radical twist in style, the main sequence goes crazy from the first bar, reverberation is boosted and the beat is submerged into the abyss. Paralizado explores gummy and elastic textures, increasing the hypnosis and releasing the pressure from the previous cut. Profound and diffused but still aimed at the peak time hours in the dancefloor.

Encarnación Interna follows, keeping the reverb wash as an integral element, adding obsessive sequences and precise percussive work to create a feeling of travelling through a black hole somewhere in space. Espíritu Danzante preserves the same approach, as a logical sequel of its predecessor giving way to an alternative version of El Títere.

El Ojo de la Tormenta keeps the pressure alive, with a relentless asymmetrical sequence as the main motif, twisted and mangled wisely over a complex rhythm programming.

El Presagio is probably the most aggressive slice of the sonic voyage, fast tempo, drilling synth riffs and again lots of reverberations and texture all mashed into a well done arrangement,

Finally, Surface Culture slows down the machinery, providing the perfect construction tool using well crafted dub chords and liquid atmospheres. 

Tracklist:

01. Reflexión
02. Voces
03. Falla gravitacional
04. El títere
05. Paralizado
06. Encarnación interna
07. Espiritu danzante
08. El títere (Original)
09. El ojo de la tormenta
10. El presagio
11. Surface culture

It’s always our pleasure to welcome a new artist onboard, this time the chosen one is VSK a skillful producer from Rome with a plethora of releases on the best labels out there, causing a solid impact on the scene since the early 2000’s.

As is our tradition lately on Warm Up the album format is how we can showcase the artist’s whole sound palette and this Polarization LP truly does.

Like a game is the beatless opening track, the sound of an imaginary spaceship aligning its machinery. Once all is set up Ethical design starts the movement, combining a broken groove with assorted bleeps and hi pitched frequencies, setting the pace for The evil speech a track stepping directly into the dancefloor with a solid groove and white noise washes swinging along.

Tension division penetrates mind and body with piercing continuous sequences and a relentless rhythm while Limitless increases the pace and goes one step further in hypnosis with a more intricate arrangement.

Polarization introduces gummy and elastic sounds on the equation, maintaining the anabolic groove, now almost industrial, providing all the necessary elements to create a peak time monster.

It could be the end keeps the energy untouched, at a higher BPM rate becomes an orgy of white noise and sub frequencies, again created to demolish any proper sound system out there as well as Extreme close up, bringing nothing but heat to the collection.

The urge for dance stops suddenly with Don’t think and don't speak, acting as an interlude to the last cut, Veloce come il vento, a sibilant and roaming spiritual drone to close this sound voyage.

Here's my Edit from my January 2021 HÖR Session! ENJOY!!

HÖR x PATRICK MASON // JANUARY 2021

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
