This track, Resonance, moves deeper into the set, focusing on more vivid, lively textures. Much of that resonant character comes from the Make Noise QPAS module. For variation and movement, the Oxi Meta module adds subtle DJ-style effects, bringing life to the overall groove.

As with the entire performance, this was recorded live in a single take. Although the video on YouTube is completely raw, this audio has been minimally processed in Ableton with a compressor and a limiter for clarity, but the performance itself is otherwise untouched.

The full live performance, including the unique visuals generated live by the Sleepy Circuits Hypno, is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PEqcT2SCcdE.

Prototype #2 Resonance

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 2nd of December 2016

A relative newcomer, Antigone joined Token in 2015 after a succession of releases on well-respected imprints such as Concrete and Construct Re-Form. His first Token record was a 2LP statement of purpose, with hints of neo-classical ambience in the opener into decisive, utilitarian mesmerism for the dancefloor in later tracks. He returned again earlier this year with the Saudade EP for TOKEN59; an overall heavier offering that still manages to retain some of the delicacy of the first.
 
Now he’s back with a 3 tracker for TOKEN68. Antigone employs an advancement on his usual sonic vocabulary to produce yet another record of surprising techno tracks. Static’s lead is woody as it begins, then evolves with gradual accents – a confident off-beat hi hat and detailed highlights varying in aggression.
 
Shadow Play starts out more panicked than playful, then straightens out under the driving percussion. This track is all about noisy atmospherics, confusing our sense of space through masterful panning.
 
Where the A-side is staunchly anti-melodic, Walking Distance is dulcet in comparison. Amusing hi-end synth work captivates over a practical but absorbing bassline, gradually building just enough to keep us gripped without succumbing to extravagance.

Tracklist:
A. Static
B1. Shadow Play
B2. Walking Distance

A Prison Of Predictions is the first LP from the Ownlife label and also by the person behind it. Leiras.
On it, the producer showcases a compendium featuring the characteristic sound of the platform, pushing ahead cyclical techno together with tracks that evoke the persistence of remembrance. Echoing the preterit sound of Sandwell District and renewed sound formulas from almost two decades of UK electronica. Ambient brush strokes outline soundscapes surrounded by analogue sounds that share space with more direct and snappy songs. A scape on the frenetic side of electronica with an IDM-leaning end closes the equation.

Substantiating his versatility as a producer with the label’s previous 10 titles and undoubtedly confirmed on this record, Leiras offers a consequent closing for the first stage of Ownlife, which finishes on this point in order to look for new sound structures for the next transmissions.

This LP has been created in Berlin during the last months using mixed recording techniques with the purpose of conceiving a narrative thread that gives coherence to the release; without doubt an inflection point in Leiras’ discography.

@slv-berlin - Berlin. A Portrait In Music Remixes (Soma542)

1. SLV – Dust ( @setaoc_mass Remix )
2. SLV – Talking With The Shadows ( SLV Rave Mix )
3. SLV – First Day In The City ( @stanislav-tolkachev Remix )
4. SLV – Forest Voices ( @conforce Remix )

SLV’s ‘Berlin. A Portrait In Music’ album on Soma receives a string of remixes from Setaoc Mass, Stanislav Tolkachev, Conforce, as well as a VIP mix from SLV himself. Hailing from Berlin, SLV is well respected for his melancholic sound design and crystalline soundscapes having released on labels like Ilario Alicante’s Virgo and Slam’s Soma. Following the release of SLV’s ambient ‘Berlin. A Portrait In Music’ album, Slam’s iconic label has invited a powerful selection of techno producers to reimagine a handful of tracks; Figure, Clergy and Work Them Records producer Setaoc Mass; Ukraine’s master of mind-bending techno, Stanislav Tolkachev; and also Delsin regular Conforce. ‘Dust’ by SK_Eleven founder Setaoc Mass brings melodic flare with enveloping synths above dark rumbling lows, before SLV’s injects some energy into ‘Talking With The Shadows’ with his own Rave Mix. incorporating moody tones and slow flowing arps with dark cavernous reverb. Krill and Mord artist Stanislav Tolkachev then offers a steady beat with euphoric chimes and vinyl hiss for his stripped back ‘First Day In The City’, preceding Dutch artist Conforce’s ‘Forest Voices’ which balances unearthly sound design and a steppy drum pattern.

Release Description:
Three years after the original's release, new life is given to 747's widely acclaimed neoclassic acid anthem, Aurora Centralis. The uplifting track, characterized by its iconic singing 303, is revisited by four masterful artists: Schacke, Tin Man, nthng and Primal Code, each bringing a unique take. 

Opening the release, Schacke delivers a fast and euphoric revamp with an infectious groove and floaty atmosphere, while modern acid legend, Tin Man, executes a flawless take embellished with lush pads and deft 303 work. 

Introducing the B side, nthng's vehement rendition is fierce and ethereal in a way only he can deliver - wish granted. To close, Primal Code bring a hypnotic version with an atmospheric ambiance and a nod to the original through dreamy gliding acid notes.

The digital pack features two additional cuts: Tin Man's Detroit Remix and nthng's Saiyan Dream.
