Duplicity 125 | @egotot

Fast. Impulsive. Techno. Three words to establish and define what the artist known as Egotot is all about. The young musician, hailing from the deep south of Germany, sets quite the pace when it comes to his vision of electronic music, regarding both tempo as well as quality. His beats, be in the studio or in the DJ booth, appear to come and arrange themselves seemingly with no effort. A Rave-infected sonic testing ground without ever feeling like a simple Rave pastiche.

A vision of Techno that is obviously inspired by its sound of the 90s, but neither exceedingly aggressive, nor excessively happy. Egotot has a special taste for rugged, up-tempo grooves which demand their own time to breathe and reveal their power. A sonic all-purpose weapon to be used on, for, and by the dance floor.

However, his sense for music doesn’t stop at the edge of dancefloor-oriented Rave. It goes far beyond, right to and through the sometimes more and sometimes less subtle tides of electronic music. This exemplarily reflects in his very own imprint, Schimmer Records, which he founded in 2019. The label has, in a rather short period of time, already evolved to a sonic reservoir of all different shades, all of which share a commonality – quality in production, love to detail, and an undeniable appeal to avid devotees of electronic music of all kinds.

There is nothing confusing about Egotot’s take on music. It is clean-cut, it is straightforward, it is always effective. The Industrial clout, the fast groove, the merciless rigor – this is how Techno should sound in the 21st century, and Egotot is its perfect avatar.
As usual, turn up the volume and enjoy the mix!

Julieta Kopp - Noche Dura [SOMA SELECTS Premiere]

007 - RILL

(interview & english version below)
In der 7. Podcast-Ausgabe stellen wir euch Rill vor: DJ, Produzent aus Berlin und Co-Head des Labels Syntop. Mit verschiedensten Releases, darunter ein aktueller Track für Rødhåds Fabric-Compilation, stellt er seine Produktionsfähigkeiten immer wieder unter Beweis. Sein Sound: zeitlose Techno-Soundscapes mit kreativem Sounddesign, inspiriert vom Techno der frühen 2010er. Rills atmosphärische, perkussive und groovige Track-Auswahl sowie der präzise Einsatz von Synths und Effekten schaffen ein hypnotisches, immersives Erlebnis.
Der Mix wurde am 27.09.24 bei der Neer in Berlin aufgenommen.

INTERVIEW
Du bist Co-Founder und Resident des Kollektivs Syntop, wodurch zeichnet es sich aus?

Wir sind ein Kollektiv aus Freunden, welches sich vor 7 Jahren gegründet hat. Angefangen mit Open Airs in Potsdam, haben wir über die Jahre in verschiedensten Berliner Clubs Partys veranstaltet, Charity Kampagnen organisiert und kuratieren nebenbei eine Podcast Reihe, bei der wir versuchen verschiedenste Genres elektronischer Musik zu bedienen. 
Aktuell bin ich für das Booking und unsere Podcast Reihe verantwortlich, was mir sehr viel Spaß bereitet, da ich dadurch Künstler*innen, die ich mag persönlich kennenlernen und supporten kann.

Deine Tracks werden von vielen und großen Artists gespielt. Was denkst du, schätzen die sie besonders an deiner Musik?

Oft kriege ich das Feedback, dass meine Tracks sehr minimalistisch sind aber dennoch total divers und interessant durch verschiedenste FX Elemente, Noises und atmosphärische Sounds. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass meine Tracks für die Artists oftmals eine kleine Abwechslung bzw. Auflockerung in ihrem Set bewirken.

Gibt es noch unentdeckte Genres oder Stile, die du ausprobieren möchtest?

Tatsächlich habe ich das Gefühl, dass sich mein Techno Musikgeschmack regelmäßig ändert. Mal deep und atmosphärisch, mal reich an Texturen, mal simpler und mal ein wenig schneller und “härter“. Oft spiele ich in meinen Sets auch 1-2 breakige Tracks, um ein wenig aufzulockern.

Rill is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and co-head of the label Syntop. With multiple releases, including a recent track for Rødhåd’s Fabric compilation, he consistently demonstrates his production talent. His sound is timeless techno, enriched with creative sound design and inspired by early 2010s techno. Rill’s track selection combines atmospheric, percussive, and groovy elements, while his precise use of synths and FX creates a hypnotic, immersive experience.
The mix was recorded on 27.09.24 at the Neer in Berlin.

INTERVIEW
You are a co-founder and resident of the Syntop collective. What distinguishes it?

We are a collective of friends that was founded seven years ago. Starting with open-air events in Potsdam, we have organized parties in various clubs in Berlin over the years, organized charity campaigns, and in the meantime, we curate a podcast series where we try to cover a variety of genres of electronic music. Currently, I am responsible for booking and our podcast series, which I really enjoy because it allows me to personally meet and support artists I like.

Your tracks are played by many and big artists. What do you think they particularly appreciate about your music?

I often receive feedback that my tracks are very minimalist but still totally diverse and interesting due to various FX elements, noises, and atmospheric sounds. I can imagine that my tracks often provide a little variety or lightness in the artists' sets.

Are there any undiscovered genres or styles that you would like to try? 

Actually, I feel that my taste in techno music changes regularly. Sometimes it's deep and atmospheric, sometimes rich in textures, sometimes simpler, and at other times a bit faster and "harder." I often include 1-2 breaky tracks in my sets to add a bit of variety.

Premiere of Oscar Mulero - Claro Magnetismo [WU100]

In a solid career spanning across more than 30 years, Oscar Mulero has developed his own signature in the global techno scene. These 22 songs are the culmination of a personal sonic journey and makes the seventh full album in his discography.

Across this extended tracklist Oscar explores the most scientific side of techno, where abstraction and alien sounds collide with precise rhythms and ultra mental arrangements, diving deep into sound design and studio mixing techniques."

In this next installment of Token, Brussels ’ own Border One steps in to showcase ‘ Echoes from the Abyss ’, another swinging, modular - driven project destined for controlled sound systems. In these four tracks, the seasoned producer does what he knows best: engaging the dancefloor through his signature sound design and use of space.

‘ Echoes from the Abyss ’ the track, like the EP, is a collection of sound associations that a re synonymous with Border One ’ s sound. Resonant and cerebral yet bouncy and full of groove, the A1 presents a shimmering veil of synthwork that gives off a truly hypnotic effect. The follow up is much more sequence - based, focusing on the elements ’ interact ions. The producer plays along freely with his drum machine, responding to a classically loopy and dissonant main synth that insists its way from beginning to end. Tension is everything, especially when met with a sustained chord in the second half, turnin g the record into a weapon of suspense. ‘ Celestial Observer ’ comes back straight and center with a focused tone and a progressive arrangement. With a thick low end and shrill highs, Border One flicks through percussion patterns and filter sweeps to make an intense, at times close eyed dancefloor experience. Ducking back into obscurity for the last track, ‘ Escaping the Void ’ takes on a more minimally produced style that breathes a bit after its previous, denser productions. Concluding with a question mark is always very appropriate, and here we ’ re faced with a record caught between ethereal soundscapes and tense implications. With ‘ Escaping the Void ’, Border One closes with his latest contribution to Token with class as always, appealing to genre veterans and newcomers alike

Premiere: Border One "Solar Flare" - Token Records

Support here: https://movingpressure.bandcamp.com/album/moving-pressure-02

With Moving Pressure 02, Rene Wise allows us to dip into a psychedelic undercurrent, yet maintaining a very grounded mentality. It’s an effortlessly rolling type of minimalism, but let’s be 
clear; it’s a type of minimalistic spirit backed up by a rich, kaleidoscopic sound design. MP02 is an immersive batch of mystical dance floor journeys which, in four steps, navigates the realms of gaseous sound design to more subaquatic dynamics, working with a palette of serpentine rhythms that pull us into his distinctive, subtly hypnotic world. 

A1 ‘Silo Cybin’ opens the release with the artist’s unmistakable kick drum pattern, the heartbeat of his sound. There’s a trippy, swampy energy here, enhanced by robotic vocals and broken claps that weave polyrhythms into the track. The minimalist core pulses with playful energy, while detailed textural elements softly emerge like a wave’s bubbling foam. Up next we have ‘Complicated’, which offers a more minimalist composition, yet injected with rich rhythmic structures. Small circular modulations swirl in the background, filling the air with a delicate yet persistent energy, while his signature vocal snippets further enhance the groove. On the B-side, ‘Rough Escorts’ taps into a brighter psychedelic dimension, conjuring the ethos and trademark 
of Moving Pressure as a whole. Listen closely–a fine connection to Wise’s previous work on MP01 shines through, maintaining the sonic coherence of the project while pushing further into a lush space. B2 ‘Bleep Police’, dives into dystopian bleep territory. Here, the artist strips techno down to its essence, intertwining bleeps with percussion into a hyper-rhythmic whole. 

A living organism composed of intricately layered sonic structures. A variegated interplay of texture and rhythm. Multi-dimensional sound. Welcome to Moving Pressure 02.
