Surgeon - Rinse FM broadcast 11th December 2013

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience. 

As I had done last year, I sat on the floor in front of the speakers to perform instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. This greatly enhanced my feeling of experiencing the set with the audience, dissolving the usual performer / audience divide. 
Below is the list of tracks that I played in addition to live improvisation using a eurorack modular system.

Many thanks to Steevio, the whole Freerotation crew and everyone who experienced it there with me.

Surgeon (ambient set) at Freerotation 2014

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 25th of August 2014

Token followers can rejoice that now, 2014, Surgeon finally makes his official debut on the label. 'Fixed Action Pattern' comes as prequel to 'Aphelion', a forthcoming compilation of new and exclusive material. Aphelion will differ from last year’s Token Introspective mix CD by providing a collection of bespoke productions from Token regulars and like-minded artist who were commissioned by label owner Kr!z to bring their individual and complimenting sound to the Belgian imprint’s all-consuming 48th release.

Anthony Child has appeared on Token once before in 2008 remixing Grovskopa’s Sex & Violins, and while regularly supporting the label’s music in his DJ sets, it’s been a long awaited six years for UK techno’s most trusted producer to resurface on an imprint he’s helped inspire and influence. Surgeon’s two-track Fixed Action Pattern certifies Token’s credentials as a titan power in the world of no frills, industrially hardened techno, and this 46th release since the label took shape in 2007 follows this year’s Vaudeville LP by Inigo Kennedy, Orphx and Ancient Method’s relentless debut as Eschaton, Ctrls’ fifth EP for Token, more quality output as usual from Ø [Phase], and Christian Wünsch & Oscar Mulero’s second release for Kr!z as Spherical Coordinates.

Combining distorted drums similar to his earlier works on Dynamic Tension with a rusted synth progression Inigo Kennedy enthusiasts will inherently gravitate toward, “Fixed Action Pattern” is a bona-fide, rhythmically broken, Surgeon classic. For a second option Child provides a spatial dub version Lee “Scratch” Perry would produce had industrial techno been his thing, sequencing a loosened variant of drums disjointed by the injured swing of its tempo, cloaked in the lonesome moans of a distant fog horn, subtle feedback loops and splashes of space echo.
