Hinz & Ruhmhardt come out of the gate full speed on their first EP with Doch. 
A grinding and relentless kick drum, hi-hat and snare combo that no doubt hypnotizes even the most relenting soul. Those merits alone can command a dance floor but, combined with a single organ line that is equal parts villainous, psychedelic, and beautiful while being perfectly constructed with a masters knowledge in the art of tension and suspense, they have conceived a magnum opus of grand proportions.
An aural field fusing the finest elements of both heaven and hell.

Hinz & Ruhmhardt - Doch

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.

Lucy - Sana Sana Sana Cura Cura Cura

Alan Fitzpatrick is back with a three-track EP that encapsulates what Alan’s Drumcode sound is all about. Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2014.

Alan Fitzpatrick - Turn Down The Lights - Drumcode - DC134

A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration. 

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint. 

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

Artist: Oliver Koletzki ➟ @Oliverkoletzki
Release Title: Iyéwaye Remixed
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT159
Release: 02.10.2015

'Iyewaye', Oliver Koletzki’s first release after the autobiographical I AM OK album, introduced a new facet of the artist’s sound. The EP catered to a darker and more raw aesthetic, a direction followed and deepened by the four remixes. First up is the title track 'Iyewaye', turned into a lengthy tech infused introspection by Hatzler. Loosely centered around the initial vocals, Loco & Jam’s makeover explores the track’s captivating snappy narrative. The more rhythm focused 'Ipuza' gets a special treatment from Hidden Empire who dial up the aggression of the percussion. Zakari & Blange downplay the track’s initial exotic elements, focusing on the rattling synths and giving it a late-night dancefloor rework.

1: Stephan Hinz - Venom
2: Stephan Hinz - Primal
3: Stephan Hinz - Out Of It
4: Stephan Hinz - Shadowselves [digital only]

Stephan Hinz returns to Second State once again, painting the canvas of silence with his masterstroke of imposing drums and vicious hooks. 'Venom' is Hinz' latest offering and comprises four incredibly massive tunes which perfectly showcase his evolving sound of Techno's best in peak time pandemonium. 
The title track 'Venom' kicks off the EP with a devilish throbbing groove while mischievous organ stabs rise and fall generating an impeccable balance between tough and playful. 'Primal' follows up with a more devious style where relentless percussion and sinister synth stabs culminate into absolute debauchery. Switching gears, 'Out Of It’ shows Stephan twisting the track's elements into a grooving, up-beat tool with a contagious faction of ingredients that transform into a sublime trip suitable for a million situations. 
Clinching the EP is a venture into the ethereal: the aptly titled 'Shadowselves' takes a journey into the dramatic world of villainous sonics and surging tones creating a labyrinth of dense atmospherics before winding into a grand crescendo.

In terms of a century the number 25 is a reason to celebrate. 25 releases on an established techno label usually counts no less. Over the past ten years VAULT SERIES’ consistent musical output of timeless releases made the Berliner label a key player of the techno community worldwide. Make no mistake, VAULT SERIES is authentic, truly underground and stands for reliable techno from the german capital. Only very few labels have been able to generate such stabil sales and growing credibility without a website or any social media up to this day.

For the VAULT SERIES 25.0 label owner SUBJECTED collaborated with ANDREJKO and the two defined nothing less but a milestone for the festive occasion. The EP is powerful, refreshingly versatile and certainly not random. The four tracks differ in mood, tone and composition and have been constructed thoughtfully. From solid 4/4-utilities, a 909 excursion to a straight forward raver, the record has everything you could expect from a well rounded EP. A piece between stability and impulses in shifting times, - in any case one for a selected techno vinyl collection.


-----
Nicht nur im Hinblick auf ein Jahrhundert ist die 25 ein Grund zum Feiern. Gleiches gilt für das 25. Release eines Plattenlabels. Auch wenn VAULT SERIES noch keine 25 Jahre alt ist, sind es immerhin schon fast zehn. Der konstante musikalische Output und die zeitlosen Veröffentlichungen haben VAULT SERIES zu einem festen Bestandteil der Techno-Gemeinde und deren Key-Player werden lassen. Guten Gewissens kann man von einem authentischen Berliner Underground Techno-Label sprechen, das es versteht ohne Webseite oder Social Media kontinuierlich Verkäufe und Respekt zu sichern.

Mit der VAULT SERIES 025 ist es Labelchef SUBJECTED in Kollaboration mit ANDREJKO gelungen einen angemessenen Meilenstein zu definieren. Die EP ist kraftvoll, ebenso zeitlos wie vorangegangene Veröffentlichungen und erfrischend vielseitig. Alle vier Stücke der Platte unterscheiden sich in Stimmung, Ton und Komposition. Ein Werk zwischen Stabilität und Zeitenwende, auf jeden Fall eines, dass in jede gut sortierte Vinyl-Sammlung gehört.

Slam / @paragraph - Sense Of Purpose EP (Soma584d)

1. Capture
2. False
3. Episode

Soma label heads Slam are back on home turf with another high pressure release, the Sense Of Purpose EP. The pairing of Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle hit hard once again with 3 expertly crafted tracks that give a nod to the roots of the tougher side of Techno.

Opening track Capture harks to the unrelenting nature of early 2000s Techno. A sturdy blend of hammering percussive elements, backed by rebellious vocals make for a typically high octane track Slam. False maintains the pressure but has a more warped and hypnotic hook that adds even darker overtones. Episode closes out the EP and has a trademarked Slam groove element whilst still remaining rough and ready as added dubbed out atmospherics and pads play to the tracks deeper momentum.

Slam - False (Soma584d)

WNDLL - Dark Cave

A somewhat late bloomer in the field of electronic music, Johannes Astrup has had a relatively short but intense trip in the fast-moving techno scene of Copenhagen. As a co-founder and promoter of Seaworld Tekno Klub, he has participated in the execution of a long series of community-based DIY rave events in and around the Danish Capital. After promoting these events and spending many nights in sweat-drenched, low-ceiling clubs, he ended up behind the decks himself.

Besides throwing parties and flipping disks, Johannes Astrup is also a diligent producer and notorious night owl that gladly favours sleepless nights in the studio over normal office hours. Johannes is unmistakably influenced by the fast-paced and trance-fuelled style of techno that has become synonymous with his hometown – but his take on “Copenhagen techno” has a groovier, grittier, and more percussive feeling to it. By lining up polyrhythmic grooves, he constructs a restlessly energetic beat-landscape that pays homage to old school Detroit techno while blending into the futuristic and aggressive sound design that is characteristic of modern European techno.

Johannes’ debut EP “Wake Therapy” will be released on Seaworld Records. The EP is a multi-headed beast with 5 tracks showcasing a broad selection of takes on the techno genre. “Eternal Server Error” is the title of the groovy, though ominously pumping opener. It is followed by “Loose Wrists” - a hypnotic roller with some quirky melodies. The title track is a surprisingly uplifting tune with a somewhat housy feeling. It is followed by “The Rich and the Evil” - a bouncy broken beat banger built around a catchy little voice loop. The EP ends with a remix by the Copenhagen techno wizard Ctrls, who also mastered the EP. Ctrls has morphed the opener and the title track into a twisted electro-mashup that perfectly rounds up this many-faceted release.
