From his first EP release in 1996, British producer Inigo Kennedy has built a sound which embraces both the traditional and the ambitious - as well as the emotional, the organic and the energy of live performance. Continuously studying the effects and capability of digital equipment, Kennedy has released in excess of 100 records, either as himself or through alternative monikers (Reducer, Tomito Satori). He has released these records on labels such as Missile, Semantica and his own Asymmetric. Since 2007 Inigo Kennedy and Belgian label Token Records have had a particularly close and fruitful relationship. Kennedy released three times on the Ghent-based label last year, including the thumping 'Emitter' and spiralling epic 'Cathedral'.

In April 2014 Inigo returns to Token - and with a project that feels like the culmination of all those years and all those records: a CD, 12'' single and 2x12'' LP under the banner of Vaudeville. In true, theatrical manner, Vaudeville is a collection of differing themes - from the abstract and freakishly odd to the direct and resonant. And just as the Vaudevillian shares a common purpose with his co-stars as the 'voice of the city'('voix de ville'), there runs through the centre of this record a clear narrative for urban experience.

'Narrative' presages the mood with a cold wind, before 'Birth' emerges with rain on the ground and a helicopter searching in the swirling darkness. 'Requiem', next, is more direct, as a warm kick and frenzied timbres interlock; the rumble recalls echoing and unhappy machinery. As one cornerstone of the record, 'Plaintive' is Requiem's anxious but happier brother: an organ winds its way down a slope, as soft toms herald the start of reflection on a heroic journey. 'Lullaby' has a deep and echo-laden undercurrent, building from afar but also warm and so incredibly close. 'Vallecula' is lower slung still, the atmosphere rough and moments before the morning light: the uncertain hour, the uncomfortable and unpredictable, a paranoid heartbeat. 'Winter' is the rolling patter of rain through clashing snare taps and dragging hi hats, solid thumps in haunted isolation. 'Petrichor' strides like a boss through his realm, again enwrapped in dank surroundings. 'Aleph' is the coolest act, a tremor of synth and an icy kick of determination. It's a race through the streets in sturdy boots, swirling in its certain melody. And at last there is the final cornerstone - 'NGC5128' (a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus). A reflective end, this galactic rumble is late-of-bar heavy, and has a fitting space synth jagging in and out.

As a whole Vaudeville is a presentation of space, industry and enveloping urban darkness in a single, turbulent journey. It is the culmination of an organic and emotional approach to production. It is Inigo Kennedy at his finest.

Inigo Kennedy - NGC5128

BUY HERE : https://technoramarecords.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-detroit-the-rogue

We are proud to present our new release by Detroit veterans Keith Tucker & Anthony ‘Blaktony’ Horton. 

One of underground music’s most enigmatic characters since the mid-80’s, Anthony 'Blaktony' Horton first appeared as a member of the house group ‘Sight Beyond Sight’ (Submerge / Soul City / 430 West records). Further exposure in Detroit’s underground presented him memberships within various groups and collectives (Optic Nerve / early Aux 88 / Aux Men / Alien FM / Scan7), recording on labels like Direct Beat, Elypsia, Puzzlebox, Trans Atlantic, Minimal Soul, Night Vision and numerous guest features. 

Known mostly for his vocals, writings and concepts, DEMF vet-Blaktony places his producers hat on to release on Technorama Records his new electro project alongside of Keith Tucker, part of the famous electro duo Aux88, who has recorded under several monikers such as Optic Nerve, K-1 or Alien FM since the very early nineties and who has built his own unique style of electro and techno music out of Detroit. 

You can find here two brilliant remixes of ‘The Rogue’, full of trademark Optic Nerve funk and futurism, combining deep techno with haunting vocals and machine rhythms. On this other side, ‘We Are Detroit’ by Keith Tucker keep the same vibe of classic Detroit techno stuff and Delta Funktionen delivers a fabulous remix that finds its place near the solid electro techno sound. 

We are very sure these tracks will devastate the dancefloors. Get re assimilated!

Keith Tucker/Blaktony 'We Are Detroit, The Rogue' [TR4] snippets

Abundant Carousel

Based on an acoustic guitar jam, extended and added a slightly latin feel (note guitars in the track are actually Kontakt libraries...my guitar skills weren't quite up to the feel i was looking for). Added a range of acoustic instruments over a synth bed.

I like it :)

Enjoy

The vinyl debut of both ÈBONY and 'R'.  We at J1 are exceedingly proud to have dug up these pink diamonds from underneath the clean/mean streets of Toronto, only spoken about in muted whispers before, after poignant appearances in Legowelt and DJ TLR sets.  Now it's time behold the miracle for yourself, for soon you can drag them back to your lair and hug them like a safety pillow.
