path to mixing

The renewed moment

This intense and genre-spanning work was a personal mission of his to create something containing the character of Detroit but with a sound all to itself. The concept for the album came from a period of subconscious self-exploration while traveling through remote regions of the Peruvian Amazon. The progression of the album tells the story of facing his fears, moving through them, and turning their power into personal strength.

FRANCOIS DILLINGER presents his second-ever LP ‘ICOSAHEDRONE’ with a style that is electro in structure, but with a techno and industrial soul. It brings together evolving, organically influenced sound design with heavy drums and hypnotic basslines to create machine music that feels very much alive. The vinyl version contains three original tracks from the complete LP, alongside three remarkable remixes.

In ‘Navigating the Swamp’, looping drones and sparse melodies are embraced by surging bass as the song takes you on a journey through low hanging branches and pitch black water. ‘Sit and Wait’ gives you drums and delayed acid loops that beat your chest as you welcome the arrival of your deepest fears into your conscious mind. Lastly, ‘Dream Thief’ approaches like a distant storm, crashing thunder to shake loose the clouds blanketing your dreams, stealing them from the grips of your self-doubt.

The vinyl release is accompanied by remixes from Keith ‘K1’ Tucker, Detroit’s Filthiest, and Diffuse Reality’s own Squaric. Each chooses to take the minimal aesthetic of the original and add vocals to the mix, giving them an even deeper message. Detroit electro royalty Keith Tucker redefined ‘Dream Thief’ with K1’s classic vocoder technique alongside dystopian pads and a melodic bassline that grinds away even the sharpest of edges. Another Detroit mainstay, Detroit’s Filthiest adds a Vader-esque vocal refrain to ‘Sit and Wait’ alongside string stabs and phrenetic drums sure to evaporate the sweat off any dancefloor. Finally, Squaric adds some nuclear radiation to ‘Navigating the Swamp’, ratcheting up the tempo to guarantee complete obliteration of your ego.

The equipment used at the time of recording this album included: Elektron Digitone, Behringer Deepmind 12, Malekko Manther, Elektron Digitakt, Elektron Analog Four, Roland Se-02, Moog DFAM, Jomox MBase 01, and a Dread:box NYX—all arranged and mixed in Ableton Live. The entirety of the album was created at his Detroit studio over the span of 30 days during the brutally cold winter of 2019.

OECUS Premiere // TWR72, Temudo

Extract from "CLUB CULT (REMIXED)" - @floatrecords

Artist: TWR72 - @twr72, Temudo @temudo
Title: Team (Temudo Remix)
Label: Float Records
Format: Digital
Catalogue: FLOAT072

Club Cult stands for Club Culture and emerges from the two realms that have been the biggest part of my life so far: music and football. The project takes us on a journey back in time, to the memories, discovery and passion for the football and music culture. It also reflects the unpredictability of both worlds.

Through 12 tracks, each telling its own story, I intertwine these worlds, even though they may seem unrelated. In addition to these 12 tracks, I've invited a team of remixers to offer their interpretations of my music. A special curated merchandise collection will also be available.

Dubai-based event series and music collective Secta launches its techno-focused label division with various artists compilation ‘We Are Secta Vol. 1’. The VA includes fourteen outstanding tracks varying from high-energy dance floor fillers to dark hypnotic cuts. Secta successfully carved out a much-needed underground space for a niche alternative scene in the region, a scene which has since grown rapidly, ultimately leading to the founding of its label offshoot.

PREMIERE: Audio Units - C Bass [SECT001]

Support here: https://tokenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spirit-moves 

Following a string of unavoidable releases in only the past two years with unprecedented international support, Brussels’ own Altinbas returns to Token with a second release entitled ‘Spirit Moves’. Recognisably full-bodied tracks, riddled with classic techniques yet designed for the modern dancefloor, Altinbas offers intention in the age of impulsivity.

‘Presence’ opens the EP, easing the listener into what has become Altinbas’s marque de fabrique. A steady, round low-end eggs us on to zip through vast celestial bodies, with euphoric inclines and cloudy descents. Traveling through ‘Presence’ is fluid if anything, establishing an introduction of boundless dimension to a record made with precision. Following this opening, Altinbas re-focuses his attention to centric rhythm. Bold, toned percussion makes for an infectious groove, instrumental in the most efficient way possible. Swapping drum machine sequences as an arrangement, the Belgian producer presses on to the second side of his project with the title track ‘Spirit Moves’. Taking yet another turn, the third part of the EP focuses on playful synth work with raspy hi hats; a seemingly randomized arpeggio runs along a head-bobbing rhythm, scattering melody for tension. Having departed from depth in the middle of the project, Altinbas comes full circle for the last chapter, ‘Blue Lace’. A return to stabby dub-like synths spread out in the stereo image make for a club record reminiscent of German classics. Mixing it with an eager tempo and present drums over a glossy ambience, Altinbas closes his second solo contribution to Token records by reaffirming the value of his sonic identity.

B2 Matthieu Benjamin - Early Mornings

Cat. Number: ITR003 
Release Date: 01.12.23 
Format: Vinyl 12” & Digital

This Various Artists project is a culmination of the refinement of IT Recordings sound-vision, guaranteeing a spacey atmosphere filled by groovy low riffs.
Eric Fetcher’s composition is the starting point of this 4-track story, made of a distinct spacey atmosphere and dynamic sequenced kicks.

2nd Track is Alexis Vogel’s Divergence which is made of a bright melodic synth, groovy low end and varied rhythmic patterns maintaining an intense energy throughout the track.

The 3rd composition is a fast paced groovy rolling cut designed by Corium that marks the climax of the story.

Finally Matthieu Benjamin’s Early Mornings is the perfect conclusion to this EP, maintaining the groove of the previous tracks. A refreshing breeze after the storm that makes this project a consistent and diversified tool for the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Alexis Vogel - Divergence [ITR003]

Hi everyone, introduce you to the Extract series: music created during my live preformances. 

When performing Live I have a strong component of improvisation and control over midi sequencing, which leads to moments created spontaniously on stage that won't be replicable. Extract 01 corresponds to 5 minutes of my performance at Jardim Sonoro festival (2023), and to my interpretation this recording has a story to tell and lives by itself. Being also a DJ, the aim of the Extract series will be presenting music that can be played by DJ's, and I decided to release Extract 01 after playing it regularly (and naturally) on my sets. 

This is a vinyl only release (10") limited to 60 copies.

Title: Body Radiance
Cat. Number: XYS005

X/Y/Secret introduces 'Body Radiance' by Aethernal, an EP that carves a unique path from the contemplative depths of dub to the sharp patterns of the Techno dance floor.
In XYS005, Aethernal crafts a series of tracks that smoothly transition between polished, introspective accents and high-energy peaks. The EP invites you to explore these varying soundscapes – deep and immersive at one moment, vibrant and driving the next.
