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.

Premiere: Fouk - Aldo Raine [Razor-N-Tape Reserve]

Stream/Download: https://tiga.lnk.to/woke

“Woke is a song about freedom, specifically my freedom. About me, at the end of the earth, pushed towards a final act of emancipation: throwing my phone into the sea, and watching it sink.”

“People may have a hard time empathizing with a successful DJ, or anyone who associates an annoying buzzword with anything approaching enlightenment. But I don’t think it’s that hard to relate to feeling like you’ve entered into a lopsided bargain with a magic box that is more or less designed to hack its way into your self-image. Call it an empty gesture, but as I hurled my phone into the water, it was very much an instance of facing up to something I knew wasn’t good for me, and finding some sense of release, if only for a moment.”

“If you need to get ahold of me, send a letter to 111 The Seashore C/O A Free Man.”

Great to have Aitor Ronda back with this excellent 3 track EP release

ELV83 2. Aitor Ronda - Temporalis

ELV83 1. Aitor Ronda - Rumble Tumble

We present you the single from Antoni Sierakowski’s forthcoming Voicemail Inspired Themes EP, called "Latenite Encounter". Inspired by artist’s unexpected late night reunion, this dynamic composition tries to evoke many musical collages, while retaining the familiar vibe of old, dusty house records. Its groundwork is laid on frisky acid lines supported by 909 percussion, jazzy chords, and seasoned with whistling g-funk synthesizers. Antoni Sierakowski takes you for an over 6-minute ride, trying to fit in as many quirky samples on the way as possible, borrowing even from 40’s japanese Erka pieces among others. More coming soon!

@sieraque, member of the Wrocław, Poland based collective/record label - regime brigade - is a true nerd-producer, finding joy in breaking and messing around with the cliches of dance music. In his very heart there's a deep love for oldschool funk, surf rock, and also everything exotic. He has quickly won the hearts of Wrocław music lovers with his subtle melodies and vibrant dj sets.

He is credited with two original releases - "Rivulet" (regime brigade) and "Lemon Sunset" (Evoked Recordings), and one track on compilation for Hold Your Ground / Audiolith Records. As for his DJ sets, he blends playful acid tracks, bizzare techno or dusty lo-fi electro with raw disco cuts and a grain of something neither you or him expect.

Antoni Sierakowski - Latenite Encounter

Hailing from Wrocław, Poland, new producer @sieraque is currently gearing up to release his third EP. Out 27th July via @regime-brigade (who put out his 'Rivulet' EP last year), 'Voicemail Inspired Themes' continues his strong track record, delivering some blistering house jams for yer USB sticks.

We're very happy to be premiering 'Kosmic Weirdo Phunk', which is a textbook Ronseal case if ever I saw one. Built around infectious Afro-Cuban percussion, it's a funky foot-stomper with delicate acid lines and more than a hint of disco in the mix.

Voicemail Inspired Themes EP

PREMIERE: Antoni Sierakowski - Kosmic Weirdo Phunk [Regime Brigade]

How The Dogs Chill, Vol.1

Liverpool Street In The Rain

Reissue of the first ISAN album (originally released on Tugboat/RTD in 1998) as a limited Record Store Day first time ever vinyl release! Including previously unreleased bonus tracks. Re-mastered and cut by Dubplates & Mastering.
One explanation for the 90s-fascination with Casio, Korg and other analogue synthesizers is quickly at hand: The 1st video-game generation was coming of age and were happy to hear that their dearly loved “Space Invaders“-soundtrack was suddenly popping up in electronic music. It takes slightly longer to explain why one record from that time - “Beautronics“, the debut by UK-synth-duo ISAN first released in 1998 - kept its appeal until today.
“Beautronics“ does not grab you immediately. You don’t hum these tunes after a few listens, in fact you might not even hum them after dozens of spins. It’s not about humming. It’s about soft cushions and a cosy duvet made of sounds, it’s about aural sheets floating around like warm humidity during a hot bath. Occasionally it’s even about IDM, but in a very late-night kind of way.
Antony Ryan and Robin Saville, the two English lads behind ISAN, are very open about their goals. They separate the longer tracks with short, often abstract pieces they called “Tints“. So it’s as much about tonal colour, as it is about melodies. The “Tints“ form an interesting contrast between ambient sounds and the more focused tunes. But even their most bass-dominated songs such as “Skeek“ are not exactly four to the floor. There’s no more than one to the floor, while the rest is sailing somewhere above in a haze of beautiful sounds and melodies. The album’s sleeve and title are straightforward about this: it’s all about the human beauty in electronica.
Just like your mom’s heartbeat that set the tone for the first nine months of your life, “Beautronics“ produces sounds that radiate a warmth and naturalness that make them feel familiar upon first listen. The 15 years since its initial release don’t change a thing about this. That’s why it’s certain, that “Beautronics“ will win a new generation of listeners with this re-issue.

skinnerbox is no more since june 2021. all of our sets / music will still be available as long as we remember to pay the annual sc fee.

thank you all for the amazing years <3 

Olaf Hilgenfeld and Iftah Gabbai aka Skinnerbox met under strange circumstances in Berlin back in 2003. The first years of their musical marriage has been a rather abstract electroacoustic journey that slowly got transformed by the neo-hippie rave renaissance that washed Berlin the years after. While growing up with places like the Bar25 and legendary party makers as the Bachstelzen, Skinnerbox always maintained a very individual identity, famous for their infamous improvised and truly live played shows (reaching another peak while performing a 12 hour live set at Kater Holzig, Berlin 2013) notoriously free from any obligation or trends. With a good dozen of singles on labels like BPitch Control, Darkroom Dubs, Bar25 Records, Tonkind and more plus a highly acclaimed full length studio album on Doxa Records ("If this is the future of techno, then we have a lot to look forward to!", Xlr8r) Skinnerbox have positioned themselves well above the inflationary electronic scene hailing from Berlin.
In 2009 Skinnerbox released the sbx 2049 - a drum machine which made them the first artists to release an instrument in conjunction with Ableton.
In 2014 - after 3 years of intense work - Skinnerbox ended up with another official Ableton Live instrument, an epic drum machine which is unlike anything you ́ve ever seen before: Time & Timbre.
