Copenhagen’s flash of energy, Anastasia Kristensen shares two more remixes of unreleased tracks, with Danish techno titan Ctrls and Brooklyn’s ballroom scene darling, quest?onmarq stepping up for rework duties.

Following the recent, acclaimed remix of ‘Voice Within’ from Galway’s party-starter KETTAMA, this is the second hint towards an incredibly exciting project on which Anastasia is still yet to shed light.

Taking ‘Volshebno’ to new dimensions, Anastasia’s close friend and Token Records mainstay Ctrls delivers a wigged out, acid-tinged electro workout. Spliced with a mesmerising, dreamy breakdown and a whomping bassline, this is fast-paced euphoria at its finest.  

 

 Describing his remix, Ctrls says, 

 
“Anastasia's dramatic breakbeat concept as seen through a plastic jungle techno lens”


Multifaceted sound artist Ctrls has been immersed in club music for most of his life. A producer, performer, engineer and a globally renowned DJ, his classy take on techno has been finessed throughout the journey. Impossible to pigeonhole, Ctrls has explored many genres under various monikers - drum'n'bass under Pyro, house as 2400 Operator, and industrial leaning sounds as Northern Structures.

Anastasia Kristensen - Volshebno (Ctrls Remix)

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

A1: Arsenal (Original)
A2: Arsenal (CTRLS Remix)
B1: Intercellar (Original)
B2: Intercellar (Max_M Remix)

Release date: November 2013 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
The newest release from M_Rec Ltd is one mean piece of techno vinyl. Hailing from Italy, Marco Piovesan follows previous releases signed under his PVS alias on Gynoid and H.omevvork with a four track 12" of no-bullshit techno. On the opener "Arsenal", an equally aggressive and groovy bass drum hosts layers of hypnotic sounds: this is a track crafted with the dancefloor in mind, a true driving force with an affective and gripping loop flow. While the darkness of the spacey soundwaves might remind the listener of the work of fellow Italian producers, the drum programming here is stomping and groovy, meant to shake. CTRLS takes this original and strips off all its lusciousness, transforming the track into a hybrid rave monster that seems to celebrate the best we've learned from the intelligence of Rephlex/Magnetic North releases, honest and excited techno.

On the flip side, "Intercellar" is a trippier affair. With its bell-driven melody almost solar, the track is an irresistible experiment where an updated soundscape pays tribute to the tunes that made our brains melt in the early 90s. Label owner Max_M grabs the opportunity and makes the remix a more muted and darker deal. Here, the bell loop meets a distorted melody making things a little nastier… composed, yet malicious.

Pfirter - Fractales (Original Mix)

Pfirter "Audiometria" (Lucy Remix) [Stokholm LTD 021]

MindTrip is pleased to introduce Part 2 of its new various artists series ‘From The Lab to The Club’. For this EP, 4 artists – both established and emerging - were selected to contribute music which embodies the spirit of the series. 
This release opens in the strongest possible way, with 2 of techno’s heaviest hitters, Chris Liebing and Pfirter joining forces to produce the driving, heavy and hypnotic ‘420’. Notably, this track signals a welcome return to production for Chris Liebing and shows his ability to create strong, dancefloor techno has 
not diminished. Next up is the highly talented Japanese producer Yuuki Sakai (Subsist, Warm Up Records) with ‘Ballat’, a relentless, percussive track enhanced by subtle, textured elements. 
There is no letup on the B side, which opens with the mysterious Obscure Shape’s ‘Back in Black’. This track promises to yield an intense and building atmosphere, which almost – but not quite – threatens to kill all those who dare to defy its menacing sounds. This strong release is completed with a contribution from UK producer Dax J entitled ‘Revelations’. Make no mistake, this is an intense, compelling track, which builds with a strength which is not for the faint hearted. 

This is MindTrip!

Recording of my set from Don't.. I played 00.00-01.00 After Aural Sects, before Bintus and Truss . Then for the last hour we all jumped on for a four-way back to back... Sadly the recorder died before capturing much more.. It's a great recording with both direct feed from mixer, mixed down with the noise of the crowd to give a feel for the vibe on the night :)

Crystal Distortion Live Pa  on RIOT - 7th August 2015

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 30th of October 2015

Take a look over Ashley Burchett’s back catalogue and you’ll find the Greater London resident has played an understated yet influential role in purporting British techno. Fifteen years ago Burchett’s prevailing Ø [Phase] project debuted on Sheree Rashit and Steve Bicknell’s Cosmic Recordings before providing Cosmic ID with its final record in 2002, and since 2007 Burchett's helped mould and define the sound of Token by becoming the label’s marquee artist.

In 2013 the Belgian imprint finally coaxed the debut album from Ø [Phase], Frames Of Reference, described in Tony Naylor’s 4/5 review for Resident Advisor as, “a techno album of real imagination and depth that, when it needs to be, is brutally functional.” Almost two years since its release Ø [Phase] is back with Alone In Time?, his second studio album which adds to the continuous slew of unrivalled long players Token has put out of late. Token spreads the 11-tracks on Alone In Time? across three heavy weight discs, and the music further demonstrates Burchett’s deft skill in linear arrangements shaped to fit the warehouse frame, while painting a colourful, Detroit influenced side to his productions yet to really be heard to this extent before.

This uncharted sound of Ø [Phase] can be found in tracks like “Remote”, the album’s homage to electro, to the jittery, alien grooves of “Spacialize”, “Mo_del” and “Nep-tune”. There’s big room domination on productions like “Orbitron” and “R-Mash”, while the album’s title-track is a journey through Burchett’s conceptual references to cosmology, time and isolation. Burchett explains, "it was always an intention to make another album and now just felt like the right time. Life moves on, we change and grow. As lessons get learned and ideas form, the desire to express them gradually manifests."

Furthermore, Burchett adds, “Frames Of Reference was about overcoming personal struggles and challenges, while Alone In Time? is more forward facing.” With an extensive back catalogue in his wake, Ø [Phase] has become a relied source for the discerning techno DJ and these new, expertly crafted club cuts add to his ever-expanding pool of productions for selectors to choose from, and it’s clear, if the bouncing rhythm of “Blind Eye” and orchestral epic of “The Maze” is anything to go by, Ø [Phase] isn’t only head strong, but standing tall.

INFO
 
Beginning of 2012 Phase caused quite a storm in techno’s landscape with the release of ‘Binary Opposition’. Both versions, “Process 1 &amp; 2”, fierce pieces of relentless yet deep techno, got on heavy rotation by Blawan, Ben Klock, Surgeon, Marcel Dettmann, Dave Clarke, to name a few.
 
A few months later, we present ‘Binary Opposition Reprocessed’. Assembling a remix package for this project wasn’t a difficult task, as all remixers were noted fans of the original tracks and supporters of Phase as an artist.

SA015 is a split vinyl taken care of by long term label artist, Pfirter, and by a new voice that's been adding to the SA story across the summer, Kangding Ray. Pfirter's 'Caos y Orden Superior' is a weighty odyssey spread across nine minutes. Its opening is languid but somehow relentless as strange synthesised sounds are interrupted by insistent beats. Across the arc of this track 'chaos' and 'order' lose their static definitions, and played over a large club rig this has the potential to throughly disorientate. From here Kangding Ray takes over duties with 'Wars', a fragmented meditation on the darkest side of human nature. Created from hues saturated by the pain of mistakes and regrets, it pulses, rocking gently, swooning in and out. This stunning slice of electronic music acts as a balm for the very wounds that conflict leaves behind.

SA015 was craftily mastered by Artefacts Mastering, Berlin.

Eating Glue

Eternal Server Therapy remix by Ctrls (@ctrls)

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.
