INFO:
With his first EP on Token, Phara conjures up four tracks detailing dancefloor impact with robust personality. In ‘Second Skin’, the Belgian artist is eager for resolution, keeping tension high with the bold analog sound he’s known for. Coming eye to eye with the label’s sound, Phara pays homage to Token while fiercely defending years of artistic direction - layering the label’s astral ambiance with his unstoppable movement.

‘Second Skin’ sets Phara’s intentions clear. The titletrack rolls forward like heavy machinery with what seems like shifting vocals breathing life into the stereo image. This first cut is a gold standard of peaktime production, creating a sense of purpose at the core of urgency. Claps and rides boom and whip around the track that lumbers on with chord stabs to add soul to flare. ‘The Ring’, however, takes the listener into another direction. Heavily centered on the drum sequence with a sharp slap-back delay, Phara plays with resonance, sparking psychosis amongst movement. Playful in the short term, ‘The Ring’ proves to be an ultra-hypnotic track reserved for a set’s high intensity stretches on an already surrendered dancefloor. Taking this energy and pulling it in, ‘Neon’ comes to establish a bit more intimacy at first. Here, the producer diffuses his elements into themselves and, in turn, creates a thick ambiance that drives the record forward in space and dissonance. ‘Neon’ is inquisitive and almost spiritual in its effect, playing with the line between a unified dancefloor and an introspective journey. The conclusion to the EP is ‘Blood’, a return to dryer production - at least in the beginning. Ambient, almost psychedelic synth work sucks in the listener over unwavering energy to create a closing track worthy of its name. Rolling through to the end, ‘Blood’ delivers the final blow to an insatiable record on Token by Phara.

SK11.10YLP


SK_eleven celebrates a decade of sonic exploration with a 13-track compilation showcasing its signature tension, technical discipline, and stylistic spectrum. 

Reuniting a tight circle of artists whose contributions have helped shape the label, the release offers an unrelenting sequence of pressure, mental twists, and textural collisions; a multifaceted snapshot of techno’s enduring capacity to evolve, disturb, and seduce.


The compilation resists uniformity. Instead, it thrives on contrast: tension versus release, density against spaciousness, rhythm in all its permutations. From high-energy metallic openers and dub-inflected body rollers, to disorienting, delay-heavy experiments and stripped-back percussive tools, each contribution reveals a unique grip on groove and detail. Some tracks move like engineered machines: sharp, robotic, and syncopated to surgical precision. Others embrace sensuality and unpredictability, exploring spatial motion, layered harmonic friction, and states of controlled chaos.


Each piece acts as a structural component in a larger sonic architecture, where tension is built, collapsed, and rebuilt. Friction becomes a form of choreography. Across the record, a shifting palette of emotional mechanisms takes form; granular and magnetic, haunting and quietly forceful, restrained, then disruptive.


More than a retrospective,  SK_eleven’s first compilation becomes a collective gesture toward techno’s unresolved possibilities:  its ability to hold contradiction, remain in flux, and mutate without conclusion.

Float Records proudly welcomes Tremor for his debut release, The Silver Intruder. What began as a lighthearted joke about a Hyundai i40 — nicknamed “The Silver Intruder” — quickly evolved into something far deeper: a sonic narrative brimming with detail, atmosphere, and Tremor’s distinctive storytelling approach.

Known for his signature sound that feels both airy and intricately layered, Tremor crafts tracks that reveal new dimensions with every listen. Minimalistic on the surface yet rich with subtle elements, The Silver Intruder captures the arrival of an enigmatic presence — music that is playful in origin, but complex and immersive in execution.

VARIA PREMIERE: Lakej - Drained [SOMA692D]

Moving Pressure marks its fifth release, and the first one to stretch across a double vinyl with full sleeve artwork. It isn’t framed as an album, yet its sequencing carries a narrative weight that lingers between immediacy and introspection.

MP05 welcomes on board Australian producer Connor Wall, whose work fuses tightly wound rhythm and immersive atmosphere, balancing precision with a sense of openness. His sound is rooted in the physical pull of the dancefloor, yet drawn toward zones of suspension and elusion. And Moving Pressure 05 captures that duality very clearly. Momentum sets the tone from the outset – taut drum programming, metallic accents, and structures that build energy in decisive bursts. There’s a sense of propulsion that feels engineered for peak hours, exuding a tightening grip on the floor. Gradually, tension loosens up, stretching patterns into spirals, layering vaporous pads and resonant low-end that opens a more interior space.

Together, the two arcs trace Wall’s range with clarity: body and mind, force and dissolve. Rather than presenting opposites, they reveal different angles of the same language. An exploration of density, atmosphere, and the subtle thresholds between the two.

Token’s Danish resident returns.

Ctrls is the latest addition to the roster. His debut ‘Interface EP’ didn’t pass unnoticed when we released it last April. Nothing but raving reviews & comments by the likes of Luke Slater, Blawan, Marcel Dettmann, Perc, James Ruskin and many more.
Berghain resident dj Norman Nodge even included ‘Socket’ in his new mix cd and takes Ctrls on tour for release parties in Fabric & Berghain this month.
Hardly a better way to launch a new project, right?

Needless to say we’re both proud & excited to present the next installment.
Ctrls upgraded his formula but stayed close to his very distinct sound: menacing grooves, rattling drums & twitchy synths. 

Pure machine funk.
