Release date (vinyl & digital format): 16th of February 2015

This sixth Ctrls record for key Token component Troels B-Knudsen sees the Danish producer continue to supply the Belgian label with a mechanical sound distinct from his counterparts Inigo Kennedy and Ø [Phase]. Formally a drum and bass producer, Ctrls has fully embraced the old school, high-tempo aesthetic Token has long championed, and this three-track Users 12” provides the label with a fresh slab of non-conformist beats designed to fuel the industrial club night. It supplies the Ghent-based operation with its first opus of 2015 which follows a resolute 12 months that saw label owner Kr!z release records by hardened UK techno devotees Surgeon and Makaton, to collaborations by Christian Wünsch and Oscar Mulero and Ancient Methods and Orphx, to Inigo Kennedy’s first album for Token and the Aphelion compilation featuring music from Lucy, Rødhåd, Planetary Assault Systems, James Ruskin and Karenn.

Since his debut record in 2012, Ctrls has continually manufactured a high intensity style of minimal techno that combines super-sized beats, basslines and synths to create something so ferocious few techno imprints other than Token could handle. Both “Externalizer” and “Incoming Data” draw inspiration from the same acidic synth-line which is made to fit the rock solid 4/4 beat of the former and the frenetic rhythms of the latter. “The Disparates” on the other hand focuses its attention on box cutting percussion and a caustic vamp of synthetic stabs wrapped in a thin layer of industrial atmospheres. For more of the unrelenting sound Token forever purports, Ctrls delivers yet three more high grade, heavy hitting sessions of unrelenting techno you won’t find anywhere else.

ABOUT ME:

I started mixing at 17 on Omnitronic belt decks and a primitive 80's nightclub mixer.
Just after, I produced lots of tracks with my Friend Kaop, with FruityLoppss and Electric Black Serie.

Graphic designer for Techno Label Kryzalide and more ... 

Creator  comic book adventure: Freaks Of Teknival

French agent for QEBRUS  to 2017_2020 (RIP my Friend 👽)

I  also found myself regularly running the first TECHNO SHOP in CAEN for a few years: COSMONOISE.

Opened by SEB, this shop quickly became a reference in the Underground productions for FREEPARTY & TEKNIVAL which were exploding in France.

Through his label KRYZALIDE, he launched the career of multiple artists who became pillars of this scene:
MAISSOUILLE, FLOXYTEK, BILLYX and many others...

After a period where I put my turntables away, 
I meet QEBRUS (thomas) who will change my life.

I discovered his totally extreme musical universe and his crazy sound design... Already recognized in the USA and in the eastern countries, he is quoted and played by artists like VENETIAN SNARES, APHEX TWINS, OTTO VON SCHIRACH, RICHARD DEVINE...

His last scene took place in the USA, in TEXAS in a festival where APHEX TWINS, BJORK, FLYING LOTUS...and many other artists played.
During this event, APHEX TWINS played several tracks of QEBRUS in a huge and massive 2 hours set.

Thomas already has an important career in the international intelligent dance music and glitch scene but in France, it is complicated for him to get dates and to spread his extra-terrestrial sound universe.

He asked me to become his agent for France, and there, I will live 2 years completely incredible, unique memories that Thomas offered me, who was a REAL friend.
..
And many other memories and incredible meetings (ADZ BOOKING, SPIRAL TRIBE, CAPSULE CORPS, SOMNIAC ONE, MANU LE MALIN...).

Unfortunately Thomas left us suddenly while he was preparing an album with OTTO VON SCHIRACH.

Following this tragic event, I decided to really get back into the mix with the aim of using music to heal pain through sound frequencies and to offer a moment of freedom, sharing and benevolence.
