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.

Esp
Senoid, el sello del incombustible productor Kike Pravda, vuelve a luz con una referencia de techno profundo, directo y mental a cargo de su propio dueño.
Tras las dos primeras entregas con remixes de los consolidados Ben sims y Oscar Mulero, Kike completa un “EP” estrictamente en solitario para el tercer capítulo de la etiqueta.
“Density” es algo mas que es un simple título, es una declaración de intenciones que describe a la perfección el carácter del disco. El sonido cristalino y repetitivo de los “bleeps” crea la atmósfera de hipnosis perfecta. La aparición de los “claps” de 909 y un “pad” brillante elevan la profundidad única de este track.
“They” nos hace bajar unos cuantos metros bajo tierra y nos presenta un techno mas áspero con una mezcla de texturas que nos sumergen en un viaje a través del túnel.
“Organic” muestra la cara mas minimalista de Pravda, un “beat” constante que se filtra para dar forma a un iceberg de sonido, no son necesarios mas elementos. Material excepcional para mezclas largas y profundas.
La referencia acaba con “Exoplanet”, un viaje al espacio exterior en el que las cajas de ritmo de clásicas vuelven a tomar protagonismo en compañía de sonidos densos y metálicos que recorren este EP.

Senoid, is the label of the indefatigable producer Kike Pravda, it strikes back with a deep, direct and mental techno release by his owner.
After the first two chapters with remixes from the well recognized Ben Sims and Oscar Mulero, Kike comes back with a full EP on his own for third episode of the label.

“Density” is more than a simple title, it’s a statement of intentions that describes perfectly the character of the record. The crystalline and repetitive sound of the bleeps creates the perfect hypnosis atmosphere. The emergence of the 909 claps and a bright pad elevate the unique depth of this track.
“They” bring us some meters under the ground and presents us the rough side of techno, with a mix of textures that immerse us in trip through a tunnel.
“Organic” shows the minimalistic face from Pravda’s footprint, a constant beat filters to shape a sound iceberg, no more elements are needed. Exceptional material for long and deep mixes.
The release ends with “Exoplanet”, a journey to outer space in which the classic drum machines resumed their role with the company of dense and metallic sounds that characterize this EP.



A1 Kike Pravda - Density

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 30th of October 2015

Take a look over Ashley Burchett’s back catalogue and you’ll find the Greater London resident has played an understated yet influential role in purporting British techno. Fifteen years ago Burchett’s prevailing Ø [Phase] project debuted on Sheree Rashit and Steve Bicknell’s Cosmic Recordings before providing Cosmic ID with its final record in 2002, and since 2007 Burchett's helped mould and define the sound of Token by becoming the label’s marquee artist.

In 2013 the Belgian imprint finally coaxed the debut album from Ø [Phase], Frames Of Reference, described in Tony Naylor’s 4/5 review for Resident Advisor as, “a techno album of real imagination and depth that, when it needs to be, is brutally functional.” Almost two years since its release Ø [Phase] is back with Alone In Time?, his second studio album which adds to the continuous slew of unrivalled long players Token has put out of late. Token spreads the 11-tracks on Alone In Time? across three heavy weight discs, and the music further demonstrates Burchett’s deft skill in linear arrangements shaped to fit the warehouse frame, while painting a colourful, Detroit influenced side to his productions yet to really be heard to this extent before.

This uncharted sound of Ø [Phase] can be found in tracks like “Remote”, the album’s homage to electro, to the jittery, alien grooves of “Spacialize”, “Mo_del” and “Nep-tune”. There’s big room domination on productions like “Orbitron” and “R-Mash”, while the album’s title-track is a journey through Burchett’s conceptual references to cosmology, time and isolation. Burchett explains, "it was always an intention to make another album and now just felt like the right time. Life moves on, we change and grow. As lessons get learned and ideas form, the desire to express them gradually manifests."

Furthermore, Burchett adds, “Frames Of Reference was about overcoming personal struggles and challenges, while Alone In Time? is more forward facing.” With an extensive back catalogue in his wake, Ø [Phase] has become a relied source for the discerning techno DJ and these new, expertly crafted club cuts add to his ever-expanding pool of productions for selectors to choose from, and it’s clear, if the bouncing rhythm of “Blind Eye” and orchestral epic of “The Maze” is anything to go by, Ø [Phase] isn’t only head strong, but standing tall.

A1 Avgusto - Hidden Visitors [ FLASH Recordings ] #Ltd300 #VinylOnly

@setaoc_mass is one of my favourite producers at the moment and I'm very happy I could get him to remix my "The Universe Glows" track of my upcoming Parallax EP on @coyu 's @suara imprint. It's a very abstract version of the original utilizing the original elements and turning them completely upside down. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Out on Monday 19th March 2018, you can already pre-order it on Beatport.
