Returning to Token with his second solo contribution for the label, Ignez invites us back into his sonic world with his new chapter ‘Aventurine’. Providing yet again a record with novel texture and spatial work, Ignez guides us through a 4 track project orchestrated with intent and skill. 

‘Aventurine’ introduces the EP assertively with his unmistakably cinematographic approach. The title-track proves to be of considerable dimension, a precise and impactful percussion-line cuts through distant atmospheres, rendered all the more dramatic with the presence of a cello. Ignez then takes down the narrative tone a notch to make space for the A2 ‘Seraphic’, narrowing his focus and stripping down the record. Giving the track time to sink in an expertly crafted tension, it isn’t until halfway through that the main attraction is revealed. Reverse, spiraling stabs dot along a persistently imposing rhythm to make ‘Seraphic’ very representative of a style that Ignez has claimed over the past few years. Whipping outward with white noise to accentuate the listener’s notion of space, we arrive finally to the second half of ‘Aventurine’. A perfect follow-up to the last cut awaits under the name ‘Verdant’. Dry percussion and string-like stabs, this time sharper and more metallic, make for a record where timing is the driving force. More mute than the previous tracks, ‘Verdant’ makes a perfect dip into the final element of the EP - ‘Cure’. Back into a more harmonic style, Ignez uses vocals and background synth work to create tonality before throwing in the ear-candy. Spacing out elements to conclude the EP in a meditative fashion, Ignez once again strikes a balance between technical knowhow and acute storytelling.

**Live Techno Act – Haven Over Ghetto (Umoja Chant Mash-Up)**

**Victory Rouge (Haven Edition – Dar es Salaam & Zanzibar Chant)**

*(Intro: pulsing loop, taarab violin swell, ngoma thump, layered chants rise)*  
Born in Dar es Salaam  
Haven of Peace, ocean breeze, clove-scented air  
Kariakoo hums—spices shout "Karibu!"  
Villagers, expats, one pulse, one share  
**Umoja ni nguvu** – chant it strong!  
Listen…

We rise up! (rise up!)  
Rise together – **pamoja!** (pamoja!)  
Break free! Be free!  
Crush banality! Crush their smirks!  
**Utengano ni udhaifu** – no more!  
Unity overrules!

**I want you to get together** (get together!)  
**I want you to get together** (together now!)  
**Put your hands together one time!** (hands up! hearts loud!)

How we keep the peace? (keep the peace!)  
In the city? (in the city!)  
**Amani, Upendo, Umoja** – peace, love, unity!  
No walls—village to expat sea  
Kivukoni dawn, Bongoyo grill, **kusaidiana ni mali**  
Stand tall! Jealousy fades, oneness calls  
Taarab hearts, ngoma beats!

**I want you to get together** (get together!)  
**Put your hands together one time!** (high! loud!)

Brave! Free!  
One flame—taarab night, pilau shared  
**Umoja ni nguvu** – rise pamoja, unbound!

Born in Dar, already one  
Cloves on breeze, markets glow  
Walls fall like coral, Stone Town lanes  
Victory sweet, respect our song  
Hearts wander close, in unity we save!

**I want you to get together** (together now!)  
**Put your hands together one time!** (hands up! peace!)

Strangers choose the other path  
Rise above spite, anger's chain  
Havens of beauty, peace, love reign  
Forodhani blend, taarab skies mend  
Sing the haven! (sing it!)  
We're already one! Banality done!  
Dar's spirit, Zanzibar fire  
**Umoja ni nguvu, utengano ni udhaifu**  
**Pamoja… amani… upendo… umoja!**

**I want you to get together** (get together!)  
**Put your hands together one time!** (one time!)

*(Outro: echoes, ngoma fade, violin lingers, waves + chants overlap)*  
Break free… be free…  
Respect all… villagers, expats—one sea to dawn  
**Umoja ni nguvu… pamoja…**  
Rise together… unity overrules…  
Hands up… peace! (peace! peace!)

**Haven Over Ghetto – Victory Rouge (Umoja Chant Edition)**

LSD | Process 1

At just 20 years old, Andrew Shobeiri AKA Rene Wise, has released a series of EPs on well-established labels including ARTS, Anemone and now Mark Broom’s Beard Man which opens it’s 2018 catalogue with this 5-tracker.

Born and raised in Brighton (UK), Andrew became instantly obsessed after hearing techno in a club for the first time. His sound is drawn from pounding kick drums, hypnotic grooves and marathon-like extended sets. His tracks have received support from the likes of Ben Klock, DVS1 and Fiedel.

Expect a lot more to come from Rene Wise.

No Love Lost

Vinicius Honorio & Orion - No Love Lost (Temudo Remix)

After being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's in Los Angeles, a teenage David Flores was hooked. He started DJing across Southern California on the DIY warehouse, backyard, desert, and rave circuit. His style then was as varied as the local scene - a myriad of sounds ranging from house to acid to techno to hardcore. After a few years solely DJing, he began releasing original music under the monikers David F & Audio Injection, which landed him on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & LA label Droid Recordings. His association with Droid Behavior began in 2003 as resident at the now defunct yet infamous and internationally acclaimed Interface event series alongside Drumcell and Raiz. He currently runs a new event series together with Drumcell and Oktaform named “Observe”.

In early 2011, he started the project Truncate to focus on the deeper, raw side of techno. His Truncate releases early on gained critical acclaim from world class underground talent such as Modeselektor, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Eats Everything, Joris Voorn, and many more. Since then, he has provided remixes for artists across the musical spectrum including Kink, Slam, Loco Dice, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Ellen Alien, Miss Kittin, Carl Cox & Nicole Moudaber. He has also released original works on 50 Weapons, Ultramajic, Blueprint, Ei8ht, Figure and of course his own imprint Truncate. He has also collaborated with Jimmy Edgar, Chambray and most recently started a new project with Ben Sims as ‘Assailants’ which they’ve released on their own imprint ‘Obscurity Is Infinite’.

A rigorous international tour schedule has since followed, including stops and regular appearances at the most prestigious venues and events, including Berghain in Berlin, Fabric in London, Concrete in Paris, The Movement Festival in Detroit, Womb in Tokyo, Dimensions Festival in Croatia, Awakenings in Amsterdam, Output in New York, and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is still no slowing down for David. He continues to shape an evolving sound and to champion the Los Angeles underground.
