Target Line

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 20th of April 2015

Few artists have made such an undeniable impression on Token as London based Ashley Burchett, aka Ø [Phase]. Since debuting on the label in 2006, Burchett has scarcely looked back, releasing an impressive slew of EPs as well as his meticulously crafted debut LP Frames of Reference all via Token. His latest release, the 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' 12” captures perfectly the grainy, oddball approach which has garnered Burchett's productions so much attention in recent years. Following pounding releases by Makaton and Ctrls, as well as the Aphelion compilation on which Burchett featured, 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' shows a flair and originality rarely matched.

There is little concession made for patient build-ups across the release, 'Tunnel Vision' for example surging forward with pummelling low-end and jagged percussion right from its opening. The track operates at whirlwind speeds, so much so that the combination of Burchett's twirling, ethereal chords and steadily intensifying percussive work is almost overwhelming. 'Internal Conflict (Acts 1-3)' on the other hand flirts with a more old-school brand of techno. Reverberating drum machines cut sharply alongside the incessant stomp of 4/4 kicks, a tortured acid-riff chugging forward relentlessly.

This is techno for the small hours – frantically paced, disorientating and charged with adrenaline. Burchett has maintained fiercely consistent standards as a producer across his assorted releases, and this latest EP for Token is no different - crafting dancefloor techno which is both captivating and hypnotic.

B - Tres Demented - Brainfreeze (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

Celebrating its 20th release, this edition of LF RMX features appearances from two of the scene‘s cutting edge producers: Richie Hawtin under his guise of Plastikman alongside Carl Craig‘s Tres Demented-alias. 

While Hawtin‘s original might seem a minimalistic bleeping experiment to some, Len Faki‘s edit has plenty of groove to it. Equipped with substantial low-end frequency and a solid kick, the track slowly develops an ambiance that's spooky, tribal and mesmerizing.

The flip carries an equally strong rework, its grand acid riff and standout-vocals holding center stage, with newly added percussion driving the momentum that turn this one into a peak-time hitter in true crazed-out Tres Demented-style.

The first track of the EP - Project Mantis 
This name came across when I was digging into other beings and life forces and at some point people talked about the Mantis as perhaps the most mysterious and unsettling of all extraterrestrial creatures.
When I was young I always found the praying mantis very unsettling little animal and very alien like figure so I thought it would be perfect to be part of this first release
