Release date (vinyl & digital format): 25th of August 2014

Token followers can rejoice that now, 2014, Surgeon finally makes his official debut on the label. 'Fixed Action Pattern' comes as prequel to 'Aphelion', a forthcoming compilation of new and exclusive material. Aphelion will differ from last year’s Token Introspective mix CD by providing a collection of bespoke productions from Token regulars and like-minded artist who were commissioned by label owner Kr!z to bring their individual and complimenting sound to the Belgian imprint’s all-consuming 48th release.

Anthony Child has appeared on Token once before in 2008 remixing Grovskopa’s Sex & Violins, and while regularly supporting the label’s music in his DJ sets, it’s been a long awaited six years for UK techno’s most trusted producer to resurface on an imprint he’s helped inspire and influence. Surgeon’s two-track Fixed Action Pattern certifies Token’s credentials as a titan power in the world of no frills, industrially hardened techno, and this 46th release since the label took shape in 2007 follows this year’s Vaudeville LP by Inigo Kennedy, Orphx and Ancient Method’s relentless debut as Eschaton, Ctrls’ fifth EP for Token, more quality output as usual from Ø [Phase], and Christian Wünsch & Oscar Mulero’s second release for Kr!z as Spherical Coordinates.

Combining distorted drums similar to his earlier works on Dynamic Tension with a rusted synth progression Inigo Kennedy enthusiasts will inherently gravitate toward, “Fixed Action Pattern” is a bona-fide, rhythmically broken, Surgeon classic. For a second option Child provides a spatial dub version Lee “Scratch” Perry would produce had industrial techno been his thing, sequencing a loosened variant of drums disjointed by the injured swing of its tempo, cloaked in the lonesome moans of a distant fog horn, subtle feedback loops and splashes of space echo.

Out now on Rekids: rekids.fanlink.to/REKIDS168

Detroit pioneer Robert Hood joins Radio Slave’s Rekids label with a fourteen track album entitled ‘Mirror Man’ this November.

A founding member of Underground Resistance alongside Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, Robert Hood is one of techno’s originators and his decorated career spans three decades. The American artist and his M-Plant label laid down the blueprint for minimal techno and 1994’s ‘Minimal Nation’ on Axis was a definitive album that further cemented Hood’s reputation as one of the greats to emerge from the Motor City.

Since then, Hood has gone on to release on many of electronic music’s best labels like Tresor, Peacefrog, Music Man Records, Dekmantel and more. After a busy few years making music and touring as Floorplan alongside his daughter Lyric, Hood now joins Rekids with an album showcasing his innate knack for crafting paired back but intricate rhythms that deliver punch and soul.

Opening with the cinematic ‘Through A Looking Glass Darkly’, the album quickly flows into precise, powerful four four. There’s mesmerising cuts such as ‘Fear Not’ with its throbbing bass and spectral vocals, the twisted and off-key ‘Run Bobby, Run’, not to mention muscular tracks designed to light up dancefloors like the machine driven ‘Ignite A War’ or the robust and rumbling ‘The Cure’.
Hood also breaks things up with downtempo and mind bending interludes, including the tranquil yet spooky ‘Black Mirror’ and the beatless and murky ‘Freeze’. Each of these are aural feasts that demonstrate his vast musical pallet.

From start to finish ‘Mirror Man’ is an education in finesse from one of techno’s most heroic artists, landing on one of electronic music’s most important labels.
