Clouds - Dread Networks (Perc Remix)

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 8th of December

This year has proved to be Token’s biggest with the Belgian label releasing music from Surgeon, Rødhåd, an album by Inigo Kennedy, while also debuting Ancient Methods & Orphx’s Eschaton collaboration and welcoming back Oscar Mulero & Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates project. Following the release of Token’s unyielding Aphelion compilation, a collection of exclusive productions label founder Kr!z outsourced from famed artists like Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Lucy and Karenn, Token looks inward again by inviting back to its ranks hardened UK techno martial Makaton.

Steve Bailey, aka Makaton, has been releasing hard-line techno since 1999 with all but two of his releases coming through his own Rodz-Konez operation, a label that’s also put out music by Inigo Kennedy, Regis, Female and The 65D Mavericks. One of those two records not released on Rodz-Konez was Makaton’s 2009 Token debut, Leave Them All Behind, a record described by Resident Advisor as “hypnotic, swathed in enigmatic chord sequences”, which was, until now, his last.

After a five year hiatus Makaton makes a storming return to Token and releasing music with this Ra Ra Replica EP. To be expected, Bailey delivers a ruthless body of work incorporating hardcore components of British techno like he’s always done, be it the shuddering industrialisms of “Spit To Lubricate”, frenetic 909 workouts of “Night #1” or the psycho cluster synths of Lead You Astray. It’s not all cavernous cannonades of booming techno however, with Makaton also providing the dense but groovy drum-track “Dstablise” in a production that sculpts loopy electro tones with bleepy Warp-era synths made fit Token’s inured framework.

Slam vs. Obscure Shape ( @utobscure0010 ) & SHDW ( @shdw-music ) - Oblique Strategies ( @Soma 576)

1. Strategy 1
2. Strategy 2
3. Strategy 3

Soma present a special collaboration between label heads Slam and another of Techno’s top tier duos, Obscure Shape & SHDW. With both of these acts currently at peak form, Oblique Strategies is the culmination of a shared vision where both styles of production shine through on every track. Starting as a singular idea, shared between the pairings, each then took their turn to put their own stamp on the tracks. The results are plain to see as Strategy 1, 2 & 3 express the very best of what these renowned duos bring to Techno.

Slam - Desolate Spaces EP ( @Soma 578d)

1. Desolate Spaces
2. The Purge 
3. Infiltration
4. The Rush

Label heads Slam return to Soma Records with the Desolate Spaces EP. Despite current circumstances, the Glaswegian duo demonstrate true techno mastery with their expertly produced latest EP. All 4 tracks clearly show the pair’s dynamic and inventive creative streak continues amid the current lockdown situation. 
 
Title track ‘Desolate Spaces’ leads the way with a huge rave-infected synth and an intense and overpowering drum track. The Purge leans more on distorted elements, using them to create dynamic movement throughout the track whilst remaining full of that typical Slam groove. Infiltration has clever, inventive FX use to create a warped environment as straight up percussive elements build the drive. Closing out the EP is The Rush a full on and explosive Techno tirade that hit full blast from the start and delivers consistent momentum

The Purge (Soma578d)

Following the success of "Parallel EP" last year, Alex Bilancini is back on Etruria Beat with his fourth EP deliver four banging cuts! Title track "Hard Vision" combines heavy kick drums and marching percussion with trance-tinged synths to reveal a production primed for the dance floor. Following "I Wanna Do", fusing powerful vocal and a pure 90's trance style synth. "Dimension" follows armed with dark synths, raw drums and sharp 909 rhythms that encapsulate Bilancini's trademark style, "Angmar" closes the EP, with powerful 909 drums amongst eerie and haunting pads, escalating in the break to provide an epic feeling to the ensemble.
