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: VSK "Extreme close up" - Warm Up Recordings

The set came about quite spontaneously. A B2B during primetime at Silodom. We had both prepared our tracks well, which allowed us to flow through the set without saying much. The drops and breaks were spot on, the timing was right.

Musically, it was a mix of proper techno and driving rhythms, with lots of energy but still feeling. We played on 4 CDJs and an Allen & Heath mixer. Simple, direct, no frills. Because the vibe felt so right, we recorded the set again in the studio afterwards. We are two good friends with a similar feel for music, which we think was also evident in the set.

Premiere of "Amazing Dance" by Diego Oroquieta, taken from "Aquadance" EP, forthcoming on Soma Records 

Pre - Order:

Label: Soma Records
Artist: Diego Oroquieta
Title: Aquadance EP 
Track: Amazing Dance 
Catalogue Number: SSOMA689D
Format: Digital 
Release Date: September 5, 2025
Mastered By Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering

Chilean based producer Diego Oroquieta returns to Soma for his 2nd full release with the Aquadance EP. Armed with 4 uniquely produced and distinct tracks, Oroquieta moves easily between warping and hypnotic sounds to more tougher and abrasive material. I Finished My Homework is a relentless, drum heavy opener that leans on a hard hitting and continuous rhythm while title track, Aquadance, takes a deeper, hypnotic route with pulsating, warping synths creating a dark tension throughout. La Serpiente Perdio Su Rumbo once again brings Oroquietas tougher sound as pounding drums back looped out synths before Amazing Dance closes out the release with distorted and unyielding power

Diego Oroiquieta - Amazing Dance [Premiere I SOMA689D]

FORMS is the new live techno project from Brian Sanhaji and Monoloc,
two artists who have shaped Frankfurt’s uncompromising sound for more than two decades.

FORMS – EMPHAZE
A sonic triptych built for dark rooms and focused minds.
With EMPHAZE, FORMS present a tightly sculpted three-track EP that explores the raw architecture of modern techno,uncompromising, immersive, and physically direct.
Each track reveals a different facet of the duo's sound while staying true to their shared aesthetic: minimal structure, detailed execution, and relentless drive.
Emphaze unfolds gradually through pulsing sub bass, washed-out textures, and subtle modulations. The result is a hypnotic, tension-filled piece,perfectly suited for the late hours. Tibanna follows with a precision-built, mechanical groove, dry, focused, and relentlessly pushing forward.
Surrender in Depth closes the EP in a meditative low-end framework, where tonal shifts and rhythmic layering sustain a deep, restrained momentum.
EMPHAZE captures the essence of FORMS: reduced, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the moment. Techno without ornaments - just structure, pressure, and pulse.

Label: DENUDE Records
Cat. #: DND006
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 5th September, 2025
Pre order: https://denuderecords.bandcamp.com/music

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Alexander Kowalski & Eddie Hale' gem remixed by Steve Rachmad on 'DENUDE Records'.

Denude presents the first instalment of the special collaboration series Berlin Sessions, featuring German techno stalwart Alexander Kowalski and Australian mainstay Eddie Hale.

Recorded in 2024 at Kowalski’s Damage Studios in Berlin, the pair crafted three compelling original tracks that reflect their shared vision. 
Rounding out the release, Dutch legend Steve Rachmad contributes a standout remix.

Opening track Fernwärme draws listeners in gradually, radiating warmth through cinematic pads, deep groove, and subtle tension—a fitting soundtrack to an extended Berlin summer.

Echoes Between Concrete Plates shifts gears, layering intricate sound design and ghostly atmospheres over a taut, driving rhythm as we delve deeper into the haze.

Steve Rachmad’s remix of Fernwärme lifts the journey skyward, infusing the original with a timeless arpeggiated touch—preserving its spirit while adding fresh dimension.

Closing out the EP, Signal takes a mellow, emotive turn—an introspective and unexpected finale born from the distinctive synergy between these collaborators.

Falling Into The Light

‘An Invitation To Disappear’ is the debut LP by British electronic musician Inland aka Ed Davenport (@counterchange-inland) – and his first release for A-TON. Based on his soundtrack for a video installation by conceptual artist Julian Charrière, Davenport has recast the material and field recordings into eight tracks of rhythmically intricate electronics and spectral, ambient techno, inspired by Charrière’s visually striking, 76-minute tracking shot through a palm plantation toward a totemic soundsystem on full blast.
