Trippy Techno Compilation

Artist: Recondite
Track: Tie In
Album: On Acid 
Label: Absurd / Acid Test

Recondite - Tie In (Acid Test)

Tin Man - No New Violence (vox Version)

In 1996 Paul Birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth 'Surfin Superior' double 12" on Woody McBride's Communique label. This was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. Now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2. 
Nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as Birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding Techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.

Kaelan - Inner Expanse - ETG020

London’s EarToGround reaches its sentinel twentieth release with more bespoke, forward thinking Techno and happily welcomes on board another Italian artist, Nicola Campanella aka ‘Kaelan’. With this release he very much shows why he is here via an excellent display of his prolific, emotive sound. Kaelan first came on the radar after his early release on Dax J’s imprint ‘Monnom Black’. Tracks written for ETG020 fit perfectly with EarToGround’s overall aesthetic of ever evolving Techno. In addition, the release also includes dynamic remix work by ‘Kessell’ from PoleGroup and Granulart Recordings.

So far being played and supported by the likes of: Marcel Dettmann, Sigha, Truncate, Luke Slater, AMOTIK, Dustin Zhan,  Rodhad, Antigone, Chris Stanford, Dax J, Emmanuel, Peter van Hoesen, Kirk Degiorgio, Ben Sims, Pfirter, Stephanie Sykes, Boris, Rem Co, Aiken, Jonas Kopp, Philippe Petit, J.

Token is pleased to announce Metabolism, the sophomore album from Sigha. The LP marks James Shaw’s third release on the Token label following his singles Christ Figures and Our Father. Metabolism represents an arrival: the artist offers his definitive statement on a production aesthetic that has been in development over the last few years.

Shaw’s work as Sigha has always placed the listener at a centrifugal point that invites a clandestine hypnosis rather than an abject hysteria. Cavernous low ends fixed firmly and effectively in a mono space tether the music to the body, while exquisitely executed white noise patterns and crystalline pads warp and hiss around the stereo environment. This keen ear for distinction within the frequency spectrum acts as the central theme on the LP.

Metabolism encompasses a power dynamism that departs from the explicitly greyscale finish found on his more conceptual work as Sigha and as A Vision Of Love for Guy Brewer’s Avian label. Though elements of Metabolism maintain a driven, corrosive quality, each searing sequence or mordant drum machine hit occupies its own space. On high-energy dance floor moments and abstract tracks alike, Shaw’s approach to distortion is one that sets out with an objective to separate components rather than to bind them. This creates a matrix of aural stimuli that remain heady and inherently propulsive, but are realised in a fashion more akin to high fidelity sound design than processes traditionally associated with the techno genre.

The record possesses a powerful musicality beyond this acute attention to form and structure. In the past, Shaw’s productions have often married high-energy drum work with subtly shifting minor keys spread around the sonic periphery. On Metabolism, emotive leads sit squarely and comfortably in the foreground, and build towards rapturous crescendos that are crisp and omnipresent throughout the mix. These careful layers generate the extraordinary tension that has since become a hallmark of the British artist’s work.

Metabolism is a techno album, but its frame of reference is generous, drawing on the finest facets of the artist’s own varied discography and the wider electronic music landscape. Cohesive and modern, Shaw’s latest work eschews a handful of riffs on a single idea in favour of a multi-faceted, fully realised expression of what the genre can be - it is a vital addition to the Token label’s already enviable catalogue of releases.

Analogical Force drops the third and last part in the voiceless series taking no prisoners. For this EP AF mastermind Pervert has teamed up with incendiary friends to deliver a must for the collectors of the label. Heavy line up that includes the Hamburg’s well respected Helena Hauff, Zurich’s acid lover CCO (50% of Savage Grounds), the legendary UK techno imprint B12, Canada’s Suction Records co-funder Lowfish and Utrecht based Endfest. Stunning 5-track record with loads of acid-drenched techno, super wide basslines, melancholic pads, slamming 808’s…enough to fill brains as well as floors. Dedicated to Rhys Celeste, the force is strong with you.
