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.

Inigo Kennedy - Arcing

Established in 1998 the project Energun22, launched a number of successful techno releases (Kazumi, Salpeter, Shubfaktor) than on the right has proved itself a pioneer of underground electronic scene in the post-Soviet space, the materials of which were issued on vinyl. Assertive and analog sound Energun22 was the fundamental factor of the collective participation of almost all major platforms and izvetnyh country and Europe (Mayday Russia, Eastern hit St. Petersburg, Kazantip - Ukraine, Medgorave, East-West - Estonia, etc.).
At the dawn of a quick and merciless "shranz" and "hardtechno" team has contributed, among the first with the release in this direction in the well-known labels such as Highball Music, Working Vinyl, Lifeform, FAT tm rec, Expanded and others. Prior to the 2003 ENERGUN 22 creates music in the most difficult areas of technology getting support from the world famous DJs: Dj Rush, Robert Natus, Andreas Kremer, Arkus P, etc. In 2003 Energun 22 changes its name to Energun, the project decided to take a break to rethink his life. The name change does not affect the ability to work, the project continues to exist not only on stopping hard techno sound.
From 2003 to 2005 Energun works closely in the studio experimenting with sound and equipment, while continuing to tour. One of these experiments was the use of vocals and melodic, arpeggio-style party synthpop. Uzhivshis harmoniously with techno beats, these elements are embodied in ENERGUN vs. LOGIKA. The project lasted from 2005 - 2008, and was not entirely studio work. The musicians played several gigs in the mainstream clubs of the former Soviet Union. Statements "logical" and supported the release of the official release with a brand new sound.
First of 2009, the musicians decide to return to his classic techno roots, at a higher level. Reviving brand ENERGUN Denis and Sergey Sinitsyn Maksymchuk have already proven their viability alongside creative digital releases around the world (Cool Play - Italy, Audio Donner Records - England, NWS - Russia, RELDZ records - America, Analogate Recordings - Argentina, Ignored Records - Spain , Unaffected Records - Czech Republic, Labrynth Records - Portugal and many others) that promote the classic sound of techno.
2010 - 2011 year was for the iconic musicians. Once, how to Energun returned to the bosom of the classic techno, the project was invited to several well-known festivals of electronic music, among them Lord of Techno, First Fest and the Technosphere. Along with new presentations Energun began to cooperate with the Techno labels (Armatura Records, Russian Techno, Urban Kickz Recordings and others). But the most important event of 2011 was the founding and opening Energun Records label, whose artists hatched the idea in recent years. It was decided to digital record label, which, along with a classic old school techno, to acquaint fans of electronic music with new trends and experiments in a truly infinite universe of Techno.
The first stage was based Energun Records as a tool to promote your music collective, but eventually evolved into a platform for the promotion of techno musicians from all post-Soviet space.
To date, releases have been released with musicians such as (LOKODEPO, PCP, Alex Rexob, Oudio, Pagalve, Galet).
Along with this technology Energun Records label expands the boundaries of style. For example, in a release from the Russian group of PCP was affected by the new direction Somatic Techno.
There are currently plans to release several very different facets of techno.

INTRS1011 : Energun - Scan Function (Xhin Remix)

Pre-order here: http://www.delsinrecords.com/release/4707/jasper-wolff-maarten-mittendorff/cosmic-language-ep

10th Indigo Aera release by labelheads Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff.

The EP, will come as a regular 12" but only the limited edition 12" + 10" includes the track 'Stellar Cult'.

Artwork by Daan Hageman
Mastered by Marco Spaventi
Release Date: 02 February 2015

The new instalment on Indigo æra features three originals by Indigo's founders Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff. Since the label's start they have been on a mission for soul containing techno. This release, a little bit more tough styled compared to their previous releases, still perfectly maintains the detroit-esque melodic elements. Cosmic Language EP is about the visualization of soundwaves into geometric forms....

Opener 'Ante 303' is a loose limbed bit of techno with straight kicks, spacious percussion and an always essential baseline that sprays about freely. Heady but physical, it’s a seductively supple bit of techno. 'Trica' has more classically driven chords and has real sense of crescendo buried in the bass. Last but not least, 'Stellar Cult' makes effective use of the 909 toms, with alien and sci fi sonic details evolving into a space journey with an soulfull ending of strings and stars.

Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff - Cosmic Language EP // [AERA010]

Planetary Assault Systems - The Eyes Themselves

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 16th of March 2015

A spiralling maze of echoing bleeps and blips, booming low-end and warped orchestral flourishes dominate Token's latest offering. Considering the EP comes from Miguel Sar, an artist who has made his name aligning pulsating 4am techno with as many abstract, otherworldly details as he can muster however, perhaps this is to be expected. Under the alias 'Tadeo', Sar has navigated his way through richly textured dub, meandering acid and rugged warehouse techno, arriving at a sound which takes influence from each of his previous endeavours.

Earlier this month Token was graced with its 50th release in the catalogue, Ctrls' rough-edged three-tracker, 'Users'. Joining the label's rather impressive roster, Sar follows in excellent form - the 'Terra Incognita' EP making up the Spanish producer, DJ and label owner's debut on the imprint. The EP keeps the listener in a constant state of suspense, mind-bending atmospherics and driving percussion working up to sweltering climaxes at Sar's chosen moments. 'The Possibility Of An Encounter' or 'Apollo 7' for example thunder forward leaving little room to gather breath, both sinister and hypnotic in equal measure.

'Deep Space' is another dark, unsettling affair. Arpeggiated chords snake between deep, tribal rhythms. Sar's intoxicating synthwork is reinforced by steadily building woodwind melodies, creating moments of rushing intensity before sinking backdown into  brooding soundscapes.

'Mind Possibilities' deploys a similar mediation between synthetic and acoustic textures, yet in other instances Sar chooses to turn the focus to almost entirely orchestral timbres. 'Despert' closes the release with staccato'd oboes, swelling low-end and delicate strings, showing creativity and versatility rarely found in EPs with this much dancefloor appeal.

TRACKLIST
A. Two Worlds
B. Onto Them

INFO
Ctrls is an artist somewhat indivisible from Token. All six of his EPs have come out via the label, melding turbo-charged rhythms with gritten, celestial synth-work. Following Ø [Phase]'s sweltering 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' 12” and an all-start remix EP of Inigo Kennedy's 'Requiem', Ctrls' latest release comes in the form of an ethereal two-tracker - 'Two Worlds' and 'Onto Them'.

'Two Worlds' feels like something of a voyage sonically to say the least. Elysian synth-soundscapes build gracefully across the tracks opening minutes, a beautiful reminder of Ctrls' ability to craft music outside the boundaries of the dancefloor. Glitched-up drum loops are introduced at the opportune moment, stumbling alongside a simmering reduction of the opening section. As the track progresses the two sections build together in perfect harmony, transitioning fluidly between Ctrls' contrasting elements.

The flip-side ventures into harder territories, thumping low-end and biting melodies showing a similar mix of timbres. 'Onto Them' is laced with close-cut delays and groaning spring reverbs, adding a characteristic layer of roughness to Ctrls' precisely engineered production.

While the sound is very much in line with his previous work, there is something effortless about Ctrls' work here. The 'Two Worlds' EP has a flexible, straight-forward quality to it, feeling as though he has hit his stride artistically with an incredibly clear vision.

Two Worlds

TOKEN55 - Ctrls - Two Worlds

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 16th of October 2015

TRACKLIST
A. Our Father
AA. A Better Way Of Living

INFO
Since the turn of the decade Token has by and large been an exclusive platform for the music of Inigo Kennedy, Ø [Phase] and Ctrls. The Belgian label has, however, remained on point by putting out formidable productions by Rich Oddie & Ancient Methods’ Eschaton project, German powerhouse Rødhåd and Spanish heavy weights Oscar Mulero and Christian Wünsch as Spherical Coordinates, to some intercontinental fare by Xhin and Go Hiyama. Token, an iron clad operation continuously manufacturing unyielding techno, has always, deep within its impenetrable shell, had a soft spot for British techno. And following a reissue of Mark Broom’s “Two”, maintaining the glacial release rate of Rodz-Konez legend Makaton, and welcoming Surgeon to its fold with the thunderous Fixed Action Pattern 12”, the Belgian label seeks out some fresh UK blood by inviting James Shaw, aka Sigha, to debut on the label with a stylistically sleek and suitably booming 12”, Our Father / A Better Way Of Living.

On equal part, Sigha’s Token debut chalks up another milestone for the Berlin-based Englishman, not only because his name is now up there with the likes of the aforementioned, but Our Father / A Better Way Of Living provides Sigha with his first release away from a label that Shaw’s not intrinsically related to. Prior to this it’s been Scuba’s Hotflush, Shifted’s Avian, James Ruskin’s Blueprint and Shaw’s own Our Circula Sound that have unleashed his productions, and Sigha now steps up to deliver Token a linear 12” full of cosmic flavour and warehouse attitudes that judiciously falls between the sonic aesthetics of Inigo Kennedy’s twinkling melancholia and the interlocking kick drums and basslines of Ø [Phase]. And there’s no doubting that both Token and Sigha are better for it.

The classy @Caduceus-Records puts together a new 4 track vinyl with some style. Enlisting @OliverDeutschmann for original material, along with @MarkusSuckut and @JeroenSearch on remix duty.

It was hard to pick a favourite from such a stunning collection, but Jeroen’s rework captured a real honesty and deceptively laid-back groove that has flashes of tension. The organic progression and subtle sample additions keep it moving with never a dull moment. A deep and hypnotic twist on the original, it emphasises certain elements and lights it up magnificently.

The month of October came with a promise of something truly special: one Debut a week from 50WEAPONS' last ever ten releases, catalogue numbers #040 to #050. And so it begins, with Cosmin TRG stepping up to the plate as first torchbearer. Ploughing straight in with its spiralling mechanics, "Narr Day (Remodulated)" plays with an energy and suspense that captures 50WEAPONS in essence: a label trusted to capture the very état d'esprit of Berlin in their releases. Befitting the occasion, no 6.5 minutes could be a better way to kick-start this Debut series that Boiler Room are proudly playing host to. Long live 50WEAPONS.

50WEAPONS40 drops on 9th October.

DisX3 - The Wide Theatre (Tresor Records) 1997

The Dystopian boss has had one of his biggest years to date, with countless gigs around the world, usually resulting in pandemonium wherever he goes. His eerie, bell-jangling remix packs a serious amount of dread and angst until it drops into something far more demonic and danceable.

It's aimed purely at the floor and despite the fact the dread is swapped for serenity in the second half, it's one of Rødhåd's most accomplished remixes to date. This will be big.

Following recent Music Man cd's from Petar Dundov and Marcel Dettmann, we now welcome one of Detroit’s finest, Robert Hood. After the legendary Nighttime World Volume 1 and Nighttime World Volume 2, we are proud to be able to present you the long awaited “Motor: Nighttime World 3” on Music Man!
With "Motor: Nighttime World 3" Robert Hood returns to the project he first started on Austria’s Cheap label back in 1995 and subsequently continued in 2000 on M-Plant. Fusing his trademark minimal techno into jazz inspired moods and inflections, Hood emerges from the smoke-lit shadows of a downbeat, but not beaten, Motor City metropolis. Inspired by Julien Temple’s documentary ‘Requiem For Detroit?’ Robert Hood examines the life, history and future of Detroit’s motor industry and its workforce, set against a backdrop of decay, despair, hope and re-birth.
