Master of a hauntingly deep, highly melodic strain of techno, Inigo Kennedy belongs in a category of his own. Neither quite your typical merchant of pulsating, floor-sweeping goods, nor an exponent of the easily pigeonholeable atmospheric sound, the British producer has been laying down classics one after the other, thumbing his nose at trends and the scene's heavily target-marketed, interchangeable fancies. Writing his idiosyncratic legacy at the confines of gut-wrenching harmonics and a nonetheless hi-octane approach towards floor efficiency, Inigo Kennedy champions a musical grammar that’s all his, just as elegant as it is vibrant, propulsive and mesmeric all at once, brushing a finely chiseled tableau of unrelenting industrial kinetics lapping at the rocks of beauty-searching artistry. A work of art that transcends its own purpose, his present RYC mix frames up Kennedy’s impeccable yet highly emotive touch to a T. A tidal wave of feels.

Prophet of a boundary-pushing, borderline-abstract strain of techno, Stanislav Tolkachev has laid the foundation to a truly unique body of work. Bending the curve of linear techno’s musty grammar and its underexploited power of artistic transgression, the Ukrainian producer graced the grooves of the most high-end record labels out there, including Token Records, Modularz, Semantica, Mord and yours truly. Threading his way into our mix series with two hours of mind-expanding hardware magic involving 3 CDJs, an analogue drum machine, FX plus some analogue random modular sequencers, Tolkachev hits hard and sure, sending us in orbit up a galaxy far, far away, only he can shepherd his enlightened flock to. Flush with trippy flights out techno’s outer space and proper floor-destroying plot twists, this one promises to have you zoning out of this world entirely. Enjoy the journey.

A brief look at Border One’s discography suffices to convince, the Belgian producer’s impeccable string of releases for the likes of Token, KEY, SK_eleven, Voltage and his own eponymous platform attests to that of a uniquely talented voice in today’s techno landscape. Treating us to a healthy diet of hypnotic dub manoeuvres, experimental-leaning modular talk and heavy-duty 4x4 payload, Steven Petit pulls out a special two-hour parade of his typically immersive wares and up-for-the-jugular rhythms. To elegantly laid down layers of textured electronics succeed sequences of powerhouse prog combos headed straight towards massive dance floor fatality. Chopping and dicing the goods with his fabled clinical handle, Border One delivers a prowess of a mix, sure to dig up the rinsed-est raver out there and fling him right back into a state of blissed out bewilderment.

Border One’s fourth contribution to Token Records is an ode to the cosmic, an ever-present theme in the Belgian’s acclaimed career. 

With ‘Astral Plane’, we are introduced to more extroverted sequences. Boomy through fluctuating synth lines and stomping claps, the seasoned producer uses the size of his design in the low end to justify a more erratic arrangement. Spread noise in the background interweaves with confronting synth work, making ‘Astral Plane’ impressive in weight without losing the intricate quality that its producer is known for.

Strange Attractor

Premiere: Border One "Astral Plane" - Token Records

In less than a decade of total devotion to DJing and production, Spanish artist Orbe has dropped more material than some shall ever dream of putting out in a lifetime. Obviously not just quantity, but quality at that, as dispensed through key techno imprints of our age including Axis, Token, Mote-Evolver, Semantica, his own eponymous record label and a host more… Clocking in with a fierce and untamed two-hour sonic safari spanning vast expanses and more claustrophobic spaces, Orbe treats us to a mind-altering whirlwind of echoes and signals, where big-room thrillers rub shoulders with off-piste explorations and brutalist plications. This one hits hard.

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the Belgian dj & producer Border One  (Token Records). 

Hailing from Belgium, Border One has amassed an irrefutable reputation in his home country and beyond since the release of his first 12-inch record in 2015. 
Between a fascination for sound discovery through the use of his modular synthesizer and his loyalty to the classic club rhythms, Border One’s style serves as a swiss-army knife for promoters and DJ’s on an international level.
With a self description expressing a priority to make the crowd move, his music does not fall short of its intention. 
Forward thinking in its conception rendered highly functional in its implementation, Border One’s music finds middle ground in an increasingly polarized musical climate for the genre; whether it be through his selection as a DJ or his technicality as a producer. 
Considering this, his release catalogue seems only appropriate. 
He has released EP’s on Knowledge Imprint, Setaoc Masse’s SK-X, his own Border One Records, Freddy K’s KEY vinyl imprint, and the infamous Token Records to name a few.
Today we are thrilled to present this powerful journey through his sound! 🔥🔥🔥

Celebrating our 600th podcast in proper massive fashion, we’re no short of psyched to welcome the man, the legend James Ruskin for a much anticipated two-hour round of implacable warehouse-sized dance floor obliteration. Ever since he first stepped into the scene in 1991, the Croydon-born and based groove doctor has been dishing out some of the most impressively rugged and haunting uptempo material with uncompromising poise and style. From Tresor to his own seminal record label, Blueprint, which still leads the way in terms of both grade A curation and time-transcending impact, Ruskin keeps writing the future of techno with unadulterated spirit, as attested by his RYC transmission, fusing the finest of techno’s potential for abstract-leaning sonic exploration and riotous rhythmic firepower. As we inexorably ram in deep into tomorrow’s full-fledged dystopia all guns blazing, be sure to turn this on full blast.

HSR 075: Endless Rhythms: A Techno Exploration

Token presents the 6th chapter of the Fuga series. Challenging new faces to complete the label’s sound, Fuga VI is another focused compilation that balances spatial detail and rhythmic bite. 
Skipping any introduction to dive straight into the essence of the compilation, Skjöld portrays ‘Forbidden City’ as a tense aquatic exploration. With pressure in the low end, he keeps the record alive by conjuring obscure pads to give dimension and intrigue to an already nervous track. This persistence is quickly met with weight; Tapefeed’s ‘Residual Memory’ follows up to tap into the label’s more aggressive side. Riddled with mechanical sound design bordering on the industrial, the Tapefeed duo creates dancefloor dominating energy that sets them apart with an all-out approach. The density of this second track feeds smoothly into Stephen Disario’s ‘Out Of Tune’ - a drum-forward record with dispersed texture. The LA based producer puts his hi hats brutally forward to cut through the space, finding a remarkable balance between its two sides and exploiting its confrontation. Returning to the label’s recognizable resonance, Merino steps in with ‘Memoria’ - a manic 5 minute synth loop with minimal percussion. Dealing in restraint and dissonance, Merino naturally finds a home in Fuga VI with this track before heading back into the peak time paranoia of JSPRV35 in ‘Question’. Pushing up the intensity and flicking through vintage percussion lines, ‘Question’ is an extraverted homage to the origins of techno that embodies flair.  The track drives through the middle of Fuga with ease, bouncing rhythm off a sharp bassline with thundering claps and snares. ‘Catch 22’ by Terminus restores balance with minimalism but pace. A hypnotic break in the second half is sure to mesmerize dancers and home listeners alike. Stuttering hats shake throughout ‘Catch 22’ to push the track along, keeping the harmony low and maintaining focus on the movement. With a similar tempo, Sanna Mun follows up with ‘Binary Systems’. A speedrun through an acid-like bassline, the track’s rhythm is obsessive and persistent as we reach the conclusion of the compilation. Fuga VI comes full circle with a ghostly track by Mode_1 called ‘Lifespan’, stretching time and tunneling through with booming toms and shuffled hats. Keeping the pressure high and maintaining that never ending energy is the only way to wrap up such a high energy release and Mode_1 does just that.
