Reaktor // Unpolished III

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 8th of December

This year has proved to be Token’s biggest with the Belgian label releasing music from Surgeon, Rødhåd, an album by Inigo Kennedy, while also debuting Ancient Methods & Orphx’s Eschaton collaboration and welcoming back Oscar Mulero & Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates project. Following the release of Token’s unyielding Aphelion compilation, a collection of exclusive productions label founder Kr!z outsourced from famed artists like Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Lucy and Karenn, Token looks inward again by inviting back to its ranks hardened UK techno martial Makaton.

Steve Bailey, aka Makaton, has been releasing hard-line techno since 1999 with all but two of his releases coming through his own Rodz-Konez operation, a label that’s also put out music by Inigo Kennedy, Regis, Female and The 65D Mavericks. One of those two records not released on Rodz-Konez was Makaton’s 2009 Token debut, Leave Them All Behind, a record described by Resident Advisor as “hypnotic, swathed in enigmatic chord sequences”, which was, until now, his last.

After a five year hiatus Makaton makes a storming return to Token and releasing music with this Ra Ra Replica EP. To be expected, Bailey delivers a ruthless body of work incorporating hardcore components of British techno like he’s always done, be it the shuddering industrialisms of “Spit To Lubricate”, frenetic 909 workouts of “Night #1” or the psycho cluster synths of Lead You Astray. It’s not all cavernous cannonades of booming techno however, with Makaton also providing the dense but groovy drum-track “Dstablise” in a production that sculpts loopy electro tones with bleepy Warp-era synths made fit Token’s inured framework.

47 marks TEN YEARS with its 47th and final release, closing the catalogue at 47047. 

Launched as an event series by Tommy Four Seven in Berlin’s intimate Arena Club in 2014, the 47 parties paved the way to the label we’ve come to know today, inspiring and encouraging a host of interdisciplinary artists along the way. The imprint opened in 2015 with a V/A, and now, ten years later, 47 comes full circle with the release of its last-ever record and compilation. 

As always, the various artist collection reflects the imprint’s long-running ethos of championing underground and upcoming talent. Titled ‘Ten Years’, the record features label debuts from Jin Synth, Casual Treatment, SAMA, Yrsen, and contributions from familiar faces like Pause, Rommek and AgainstMe, to name a few. 

Across the 20-track V/A, each artist delivers precise and sonically rich productions, spanning several palettes. You’ll find a dreamy soundscape punctuated by blips and bleeps from Amotik. Claustrophobic atmospheres and winding rhythms by Innersha. Liquid melodies and maximalist basslines from Ana Rs. Moonlit synths and icy motifs by VSK. Club-driven 4/4 techno with a metallic sheen from ASEC. An emotive take on ambient and techno from Linn Elisabet. A spiralling trip with IDM touches from Nørbak, and more.

‘Ten Years’ mirrors the adventurous attitude of 47, celebrating the artists and sounds who’ve helped to build the label’s solid reputation, leaving an indelible signature on electronic music for years to come. 

The record will be available as a 5 x 12" release, limited to 200 copies. Orders can be made on October 10th via Bandcamp at 10:00 CET.

#200 part 2 V/A

Premiere of 'Need To Act' by Lakej, taken from Static Future EP forthcoming on Soma Records

Swedish techno innovator Lakej is back on Soma Records with a brand-new release that delves even deeper into the introspective, hypnotic soundscapes that have defined his sonic identity. Known for his stripped-back, yet emotionally charged productions, Lakej’s latest offering continues his evolution within the genre while staying true to the atmospheric minimalism that first captured attention on earlier Soma releases.

The new EP, titled “Static Future”, showcases Lakej's mastery of tension and release, blending polyrhythmic percussion, evolving textures, and subterranean basslines. Each track unfolds like a ritual; tight, immersive, and meticulously crafted for the dancefloor.
Following a string of acclaimed releases on Soma, Lakej cements his role as one of the label’s most distinctive voices in contemporary techno.

“Static Future' marks not just a continuation but a refinement of the hypnotic minimalism he has become known for—pushing the boundaries while keeping the essence intact.
