Dust in the Light
In the wake of urgency comes the time of invisible scars.
R-statine Bloom cleans what cannot be seen —
the deposits, the residues, the fatty memories of disorder.
A cold breath flows through synapses;
textures clear, and sonic colors soften.
Light filters through the wreckage.

R-statine Bloom

Angst traduz em som a sensação de inquietação e pressão interna sugerida pelo próprio nome. A faixa é construída sobre uma base rítmica carregada de tensão, com elementos sonoros que operam em faixas médias e agudas de forma insistente e repetitiva.

O uso de ruídos filtrados, variações discretas e pulsações assimétricas contribui para a formação de um ambiente fechado, quase claustrofóbico, onde a expectativa nunca se resolve completamente. A ausência de picos ou resoluções harmônicas reforça o estado de suspensão contínua.

Angst propõe uma escuta concentrada, em que o desconforto se transforma em matéria estética. A faixa não ilustra o sentimento, mas o encarna — criando um espaço onde o som opera como afeto direto e presente.



Angst sonically embodies the feeling of inner unrest and pressure suggested by its title. The track is built on persistent sense of tension, with mid- and high-frequency elements repeating in a focused and insistent manner.

Filtered noise, subtle variation, and asymmetrical pulses contribute to an enclosed, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, where anticipation remains unresolved. The absence of harmonic resolution sustains a suspended emotional state.

Angst invites concentrated listening, transforming discomfort into aesthetic material. The track doesn’t illustrate the feeling — it becomes it, creating a space where sound acts as direct and embodied affect.

INFO
Over the last 10 years Token Records has grown steadily, both in size and stylistic breadth. The aptly-titled Momentum comes as a celebration of the close-knit family of artists amassed throughout the label’s running. The record is a fitting collaborative project, with every track on the album produced by two longstanding and well-respected artists from the label’s roster and especially commissioned for the release. This type of collaboration is intended to showcase the specific sound of the label, developed through 10 years of careful curation, as well as bringing out the individual identities of the artists involved.
 
On the development of the label’s sound, Token founder Kr!z comments, “Inigo delivered quite the statement with the first release Identify Yourself. I think identity was and still is key in the development of the label and the artists.”
 
Inigo Kennedy’s involvement in Token has been profoundly influential and spans its very existence; with three collaborative tracks on the record, it’s easy to hear his trademark cinematic sound throughout. One such offering, Amalgam, is co-produced by Kr!z himself, which is a first step for the label head into releasing his own music after years of taking the back seat, focusing instead on DJing while keeping the label ticking over and the releases coming out.
 
Token’s identity has been clarified through its curation over the years as each new artist has joined the label family. Ø [Phase] has been a staple since 2007, providing cerebral sustenance for the most discerning of listeners. To date, he has produced two successful albums and a string of notable EPs for Token, Binary Opposition being perhaps the best-known; a pulsating, mesmerising project on both sides that played a serious role in pushing the label to a larger audience. Rødhåd’s trademark composure was a similarly early addition, and although his Spomeniks release was a step aside from his own ongoing Dystopian project, he has remained an important member of the Token collective. 
 
Ctrls was a Token affiliate from early in his career, and has to date provided nine solo EPs. His class of jarring, inorganic techno adds an atypical feel to the label’s output, while Antigone’s 2015 double EP Cantor Dust paved the way for another strong artist/label relationship. This bond has resulted series of adventurous releases over past two years, with the most recent Ostinato EP esteemed as a tasteful antidote to the techno status quo. 
 
There are some artists who, although better known for long releasing careers with other respected outlets, have become important in bolstering the label’s character in particular. Oscar Mulero’s reputation as an institution of electronic music precedes him, and Tadeo has been releasing his Detroit-leaning and avant-garde sounds since 2004. Sigha’s involvement with Token came after a varied discography, his Metabolism album from this year marking an integral progression in the label’s direction, providing a firm expression of complex musicality and contemplative form.

We have the honour to welcome the Dublin based Doug Cooney.

Doug Cooney drops his EP, Claim A Wake on Eternal Friction Records, containing three original tracks and a remix by no other artist than Jon Hester. 

The result is a powerful EP, that clearly demonstrates Doug’s unique and personal approach to contemporary techno. 

The balance between the rolling drums and the uplifting percussion are capable of bringing listeners into a certain state of mind. The warm and melodic synths fit perfectly into many layers of each track. 

Although these tracks are all fairly different from each other, they are all produced in the same effective and delicate style. They make for an interesting EP, reason enough to follow this promising artist every move from now on.
