INFO
It was early 2007 when Inigo Kennedy inaugurated Token. Since that Identify Yourself 12” the Belgian label has gone from strength to strength, integrating both Kennedy and Ashley Burchett, aka Ø [Phase], into becoming integral cogs in the Token machine. In between releases by Grovskopa, Oscar Mulero and Go Hiyama, both Ø [Phase] and Inigo Kennedy dominated Token’s output, but it wasn’t until Burchett’s watershed Binary Opposition that Token received the shower of praise it deserved. Following this, label founder Kr!z issued three remix 12”s of that release which, including Token regulars, took in a profound cast of producers to reprocess “Binary Opposition” by the way of Sigha, Peter Van Hoesen, Planetary Assault Systems and Ben Klock. It was here Token stamped their authority on contemporary techno.

Since then Token has grown exponentially, bringing into their fold artists like Xhin, Mark Broom and Rødhåd, while Ctrls, formally one half of Northern Structures, has seen his solo career flourish on Token with the release of five records to date, and he joins Inigo Kennedy and Ø [Phase] as a label stalwart. Additionally this year, Orphx and Ancient Methods debuted their relentless Eschaton collaboration on Token, and Christian Wünsch’s Spherical Coordinates dalliance with Oscar Mulero has gained even more momentum with a second release called Kinematics Equations. Now, seven years after that debut Kennedy record, Token present Aphelion, a nine-track CD and triple vinyl grandstand of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for this milestone release.

The penultimate record before Aphelion was a second Token 12” by Rødhåd, another artist adding to the cultivation of the label’s sound and roster, and for this compilation the Berliner supplies his cosmically inspired “Haumea”. Joining the Dystopian founder on Aphelion are three of the UK’s most influential techno artists: Surgeon, James Ruskin and Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems alias who provide Token with solo material for the first time after previously appearing on the imprint in remix form. Entirely new names to grace the label via Aphelion include Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy, and Blawan and Pariah's Karenn project, while label faithfuls Inigo Kennedy,  Ø [Phase] and Ctrls naturally commit three Token defining productions.

Casting one’s eye over Token’s back catalogue and it’s clear to see the label is a staunch advocate of absolute techno, remaining steadfast in issuing quality material that remains true to classic strands of the genre regardless of its popularity flux. In that respect, Aphelion - a word used to describe the point in orbit when a planet or comet is farthest from the sun - provides a simple analogy that the magnetic force of Token, unfazed by the shadows cast by popular opinion, will proudly shine light on their artists and given styles. 

“We started in an era where our genre was very unpopular,” Kr!z explains. “And in the end that seemed a big advantage for us, because when everyone was giving up, we started our mission.” Regularly hosting label nights in prominent clubs around the world, Token has become a label supported by a wide-ranging body of artists like Âme and Ben Klock to Efdemin, Truss and Ancient Methods. With the label now branching out into album and compilation territory, Token’s duty to techno may not yet be accomplished, but it’s been a job well done.

Aphelion

Rødhåd - Haumea

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.

TRACKLIST
1. Makaton - Lead You Astray
2. Makaton - Night #1
3. Makaton - Spit To Lubricate
4. Makaton - Dstabilise

Berlin's Henning Baer is the latest person we'll be introducing before the weekend and he's a producer who'll actually be making his Farringdon debut on Friday. Obviously we asked him if he'd like to colour in between the outlines of his biography and reputation by putting together a mixtape for us that would embellish and explain a bit more about the music he plays and the styles he prefers, because we've always believed it beneficial to let the music speak for itself. As a founder a resident of the esteemed Grounded Theory party though, Baer's already put himself in the sort of position a lot of aspiring DJs covet, enabling him the sort of control and elasticity over his lineups and style of play that other's envy. And that shines bright in his mixing and selection. Now a regular at Berlin clubs of esteemed repute it's Baer's releases on his own K209 label as well as on Adam X's Sonic Groove and Psyk's Non Series that best express his penchant for thundering, functional techno; the sort you'll be sure to find in Room Two on Friday night...

INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/oliver-deutschmann

Ahead of Superstition x Sweat Lodge Agency Takeover at Village Underground this Friday in London, we caught up with the Berlin based DJ and producer Oliver Deutschmann to find out more about his relationship with the Sweat Lodge booking agency and how his own label Vidab is developing.

In the interview Oliver discusses his forthcoming album, and provides some advice to those that are thinking of launching their own record label. He also talks about the state of the electronic music industry, hype, pop star statuses and obviously the pro's and con's of that.

IA MIX 161 Oliver Deutschmann

“I Don’t Know Where” - The intro catches listeners from the first note, making you lean in to hear more from small sounds teasing through a steady drum beat that deepens as it charges forward. We are then taken into some strange, new territory here, with sound effects that sound like steel slicing through the air and beats that are never predictable. Tandem is not the goal here, more of a partnership of different beats that only add to a successful and very repeatable track.

MindTrip Podcast 002 - Jonas Kopp

It is Sunday the April 19th and K K Podcast Berlin presents RO.ME from Tübingen,Germany  !!!

Biography German
Die Musik ist immer geprägt von den Eindrücken und Einflüssen, die jeder Künstler mit der Zeit erlebt und kennenlernt. Bei Roman aus Tübingen waren das die letzte Zeit u.a. das Entdecken neuer Tracks von Produzenten wie The Welderz und Lewis Fautzi, und auch der Besuch der Veranstaltungsreihe From Another Mind in Stuttgart, die mit Künstlern wie James Ruskin, Randomer und SHDW aufschlägt.
Aus diesem Grund verbrachte er die letzten Monate viel Zeit mit härteren Klängen und nahm auch sein erstes Techno- Set auf.
Um eine musikalische Abgrenzung zu seinem bisherigen Künstlerprofil ro.mé (Bunte Klänge/Club 27) zu schaffen, kam er zum zum Entschluss ein zweites DJ-Projekt mit den Namen ENIGMA ins Leben zu rufen, welches sich ausschließlich auf treibenden, dunklen und melodiösen Techno fokussieren wird.
Den Anfang für dieses Projekt macht er heute mit seinem Podcast für Klark Kennt.

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 18th of May 2015

TRACKLIST
A1 Anna Livia
A2 Enter
B1 Prime Mover
B2 Voltage
C1 Artefakt
C2 Astragral
D  Blue Note

INFO
Token certainly have their staples - Ctrls, Ø [Phase] or Inigo Kennedy making regular appearances. The last release on Token for example, Ø [Phase]'s 'Tunnel Vision/Internal Conflict' 12” showed the producer enjoys a level of familiarity with the label, allowing him to indulge his more leftfield tendencies, resulting in some truly captivating dancefloor moments.

Just as often Token will ingratiate new talent to the roster however, continuously reshaping their boundaries. The most recent record comes from one such new addition. In the wider sense though, it'd hardly be fair to call Parisian producer Antonin Jeanson aka Antigone fresh-faced. Since debuting in 2011 on Zadig's then relatively new Construct Re-Form label, Jeanson has enjoyed an impressively consistent run of releases, despite his penchant for sounds which are a little out of the ordinary.

His inaugural release with Kr!z's Token Records, the 'Cantor Dust' EP, is similarly reflective of his inclination to mix the abstract with the functional. Jeanson's movements across the release are difficult to second guess – 'Anna Livia' opens with Klaus Schulze reminiscent, spacial electronica, yet the serenity doesn't last for long. 'Enter' asserts Jeanson’s dancefloor sensibilities, chugging forward unfalteringly. The track builds at a steady pace, before the anthemic 'Prime Mover' provides a sudden release of tension. Jeanson’s reverberant stabs lunge forward, driving low-end thudding militantly beneath.

From here the EP dives back into more sinister territories - the serpentine 'Voltage' or gurgling, abstract melodies of 'Astragal' have a similarly rugged texture to them. 'Artefakt' is equally muscular, and undoubtedly one of the record's most climactic moments. The interplay between rasping mechanical percussion, booming low-end and grinding drones is rushingly intense.

'Cantor Dust's structure proves well-designed to the last however. The celestial 'Blue Note' provides a moment of reflection, distant synthesisers easing out gently - an emotive chord progression floating melancholically above Jeanson’s booming rhythms. It is the calm after the storm, a moment to savour, and reflect on the trip.
