INFO
Token certainly have their staples - Ctrls, Ø [Phase] or Inigo Kennedy making regular appearances. The last release on Token for example, Ø [Phase]'s 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' 12” showed the producer enjoys a level of familiarity with the label, allowing him to indulge his more leftfield tendencies, resulting in some truly captivating dancefloor moments.

Just as often Token will ingratiate new talent to the roster however, continuously reshaping their boundaries. The most recent record comes from one such new addition. In the wider sense though, it'd hardly be fair to call Parisian producer Antonin Jeanson aka Antigone fresh-faced. Since debuting in 2011 on Zadig's then relatively new Construct Re-Form label, Jeanson has enjoyed an impressively consistent run of releases, despite his penchant for sounds which are a little out of the ordinary.

His inaugural release with Kr!z's Token Records, the 'Cantor Dust' EP, is similarly reflective of his inclination to mix the abstract with the functional. Jeanson's movements across the release are difficult to second guess – 'Anna Livia' opens with Klaus Schulze reminiscent, spacial electronica, yet the serenity doesn't last for long. 'Enter' asserts Jeanson’s dancefloor sensibilities, chugging forward unfalteringly. The track builds at a steady pace, before the anthemic 'Prime Mover' provides a sudden release of tension. Jeanson’s reverberant stabs lunge forward, driving low-end thudding militantly beneath.

From here the EP dives back into more sinister territories - the serpentine 'Voltage' or gurgling, abstract melodies of 'Astragal' have a similarly rugged texture to them. 'Artefakt' is equally muscular, and undoubtedly one of the record's most climactic moments. The interplay between rasping mechanical percussion, booming low-end and grinding drones is rushingly intense.

'Cantor Dust's structure proves well-designed to the last however. The celestial 'Blue Note' provides a moment of reflection, distant synthesisers easing out gently - an emotive chord progression floating melancholically above Jeanson’s booming rhythms. It is the calm after the storm, a moment to savour, and reflect on the trip.

Chains Of Abstraction EP

Preview - Kessell - Chains Of Abstraction EP - Polegroup 044

"We proudly present our 10th release on our regular NORxxx series, with a split 4-tracker from two very promising talents : Ymir and Saphileaum.
Hailing from London, Ymir (real name Max Duffy) is quite new on the techno scene but has already developed a signature sound that we thought would fit perfect on the label. Esoteric starts the EP in tension, thanks to cavernous drums, overdriven hihats and menacing synth lines. Following up is Attic Salt which builds up with modulated drones and reverb-soaked bells to create a dark and eerie atmosphere.
Tbilisi talent Saphileaum, who made his debut appearance on our label back in March 2017, greets us with two new tracks. Attalia is a melancholic journey with a haunting pads loop combined to precise drums. This EP ends with Scholomance, a moody and hypnotic track with a trippy synth line that will separate your mind from your body.
With their shared love for deep and textured sound, the two producers were bound to appear on the same release and we're delighted to showcase their universe through Separation Chapter."

Ymir / Saphileaum - Separation Chapter [NOR010] PREVIEWS

For our 32nd On the 5th Day podcast we bring you Tuscany born DJ and producer, Akanin Swalkkyer. When this mix hit our inbox a few weeks ago we were in Berlin warming up for a Sunday Berghain session in the cozyness of our rented apartment... we listened through once and were completely captivated by the journey that had been woven together, so we listened through again. It was a total no brainer to share this with you.

Driven by a passion for Detroit and European techno, house and acid, Akanin Swalkkyer made it his mission to become fully immersed in the music scene, taking it upon himself to organise a number of events in his home town, whilst steadily building an impressive vinyl collection to reflect his love for the music. All the while, he has been busy in the studio working on a solo LP, as well as joining forces with an Italian friend to form A:L (https://www.facebook.com/aellectronics) which is now his primary focus. The pair are focusing on delivering what they describe as deep-tunnelling techno, strong on the grooves and sweeping ambient soundscapes. We will be following them closely that's for sure!

What you're about to hear is a stunning, emotionally driven, deep and rolling hour-long mix, including a number of his own unreleased productions - right up our techno street.

Track list included.

Formant Value & Simone Bauer - Veduta d'insieme.ANNULLEDCD06

Marked by his awakened sensibility to depth, Feral consistently carries a thread of spirituality throughout his work.  He has inherently embodied the spirit of deep techno, of which defines Hypnus Records, through his passion for audio engineering, hardware experimentation and fascination for percussive instruments.  Feral’s affinity for the shamanic calls of the tribal drum have led him across the world to discover and nurture his defining sound. Finding comfort in the solitude of his studio, Feral’s visions emerge in the crepusular hours of his native city, Rome.  With a heightened sense of spatial awareness, the sounds of Feral unearth the path of his multidimensional world, transporting the listener to a haunting, yet grounding refuge within.
