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.

Don’t be fooled by the ominous title, it’s a family affair this one! Simina Grigoriu teams up with sibling Moe Danger and life partner Paul Kalkbrenner on the Shark Island EP, with K-Paul on remix duties and a special appearance by the label’s youngest member, Paul & Simina’s daughter.

The title track sets the tone with throaty vocal chops that add mystery to its clacking percussion and devilish synth lead. The effect is an intense build up, with the tension gradually released in the second half, by the way of dreamy synth arpeggios that lighten up the overall mood.
Kalkbrenner applies a staccato feel that tilts towards a more bouncy version of the original. Giving the track new life through a novel melody, it evolves into a deeply affecting piece, as its pulsating rhythm keeps the energy at a constant high.
You might know K-Paul as the electrifying half of the 90’s dance duo Lexy & K-Paul, a trait that applies to his production style, as well as in his remixing effort for Shark Island. With a more enigmatic, hyper-gradual release technique, this particular remix unveils jarring electro synths with brooding countermelodies.

Artist(s): Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh
Title: One Week To Escape & Doubtstar
Label: Dear Deer Records
Cat.Number: DD155
Release Date: 30th July 2018 (Beatport) 13th August 2018 (Other Shops)

Tracklisting (in order):
1. Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - Doubtstar (Original Mix)
2. Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - One Week To Escape (Original Mix)
3. Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - One Week To Escape (D-Formation Remix)
4. Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - Doubtstar (Chris Di Perri Remix)
5. Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - Doubtstar (Nolah Remix)

The excellent Dear Deer Records keeps up its high quality and high frequency release rate with another brilliant EP. This one pulls together Luigi Gori and Larsun Hesh and calls on remixers Chris Di Perri, D-Formation and Nolah to add their own spin on tunes. 

Doubtstar opens things up with some tense, strobe lit tech. The drums drive forwards and bright synths shoot through the track to really make for an all consuming groove. One Week to Escape is more stripped back. It has sci-fi vibes and rubbery drums rolling beneath, all of which take you on a trip to the edges of the cosmos. 

D Formation is first to remix and flips it into a nerve jangling cosmic techno journey with wide open spaces run through with crisp synths and snares. Chris Di Perri’s version of Doubtstar keeps the astro techno vibes alive, with turbulent bass and slick hits all oiling the groovy journey, and Nolah then lays in some trippy neon synth lines to bring an extra edge to the track as you get lost in the hypnotic drums.

Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - One Week To Escape & Doubtstar

PREMIERE : Luigi Gori, Larsun Hesh - One Week To Escape (D-Formation Remix) [Dear Deer]

Three superbly crafted techno tools from Nihad Tule, with plenty of energy and impeccable attention to detail. Resurface offers trippy chords and ever changing patterns on top of a driving beat. On the flip, Passing is built on a deceivingly simple hook, sparkled with drones over a pounding 909. Ascend brings it all home with a gradually evolving hook, stripped down to the bare bones yet still offering a powerful crescendo.

Jupiters (Happa Remix)

Release date (vinyl & digital): 8th of July

After deeper excursions on January’s grand ‘Cathedral’, Inigo now strikes back with a monumental new 2 tracker.
Both tracks emerged from the same studio session and definitely complement each other.
While the pounding drums are omnipresent on this release, ‘Emitter’ leaves us euphoric, while ‘Collector’ is less explosive, more persistent.

I.K. at his best.
