IV - Deep

Release date (vinyl & digital): 10th of March 

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Premiere: Andre Kronert - Into The Zone (Efdemin Remix)

As you may have guessed by our extensive coverage of all things Jeudi, we're quite the fans of Doctor Dru's imprint here at Data Transmission, with the outlet quickly becoming one of favourite labels in recent times. For the Hamburg outpost's latest trick, they welcome back Monte, who – you might well recall – impressed upon on the label with a number of releases that arrived to to great fanfare last year and thanks to the glorious sounds of the 'Radical' EP, we’re delighted to announce that the man behind the music has lost none of his nous in the intervening time.

The action gets underway thanks to title track and our choice for premiere, ‘Radical’, a rollicking rollercoaster of a track aimed squarely at peak time dance floors which motors along to give clubbers something to really sink their teeth into. Slickly driven synth lines underpin a sparse yet menacing vocal line full of promise, with the track heaving along as it flexes its production prowess for a cut sure to be finding its way into the sets of house music's more discerning selectors upon release. Backed by a remix from Man Power and frenetic B-side 'Simpler', which jam packed with off kilter energy, is similarly sure to pick up plenty of attention during the small hours in the coming months and add a spine-tingling sense of drama to any set it pervades.

Set to arrive November 2nd, you can stream 'Radical' in full now. Enjoy.

Take a look over Ashley Burchett’s back catalogue and you’ll find the Greater London resident has played an understated yet influential role in purporting British techno. Fifteen years ago Burchett’s prevailing Ø [Phase] project debuted on Sheree Rashit and Steve Bicknell’s Cosmic Recordings before providing Cosmic ID with its final record in 2002, and since 2007 Burchett's helped mould and define the sound of Token by becoming the label’s marquee artist.

In 2013 the Belgian imprint finally coaxed the debut album from Ø [Phase], Frames Of Reference, described in Tony Naylor’s 4/5 review for Resident Advisor as, “a techno album of real imagination and depth that, when it needs to be, is brutally functional.” Almost two years since its release Ø [Phase] is back with Alone In Time?, his second studio album which adds to the continuous slew of unrivalled long players Token has put out of late. Token spreads the 11-tracks on Alone In Time? across three heavy weight discs, and the music further demonstrates Burchett’s deft skill in linear arrangements shaped to fit the warehouse frame, while painting a colourful, Detroit influenced side to his productions yet to really be heard to this extent before.

This uncharted sound of Ø [Phase] can be found in tracks like “Remote”, the album’s homage to electro, to the jittery, alien grooves of “Spacialize”, “Mo_del” and “Nep-tune”. There’s big room domination on productions like “Orbitron” and “R-Mash”, while the album’s title-track is a journey through Burchett’s conceptual references to cosmology, time and isolation. Burchett explains, "it was always an intention to make another album and now just felt like the right time. Life moves on, we change and grow. As lessons get learned and ideas form, the desire to express them gradually manifests."

Furthermore, Burchett adds, “Frames Of Reference was about overcoming personal struggles and challenges, while Alone In Time? is more forward facing.” With an extensive back catalogue in his wake, Ø [Phase] has become a relied source for the discerning techno DJ and these new, expertly crafted club cuts add to his ever-expanding pool of productions for selectors to choose from, and it’s clear, if the bouncing rhythm of “Blind Eye” and orchestral epic of “The Maze” is anything to go by, Ø [Phase] isn’t only head strong, but standing tall.

@PlusPlusRec marks its 30th release with the return of a label stalwart - the UK based producer and composer Josh Winiberg.
Lost in Time EP brings together three previously released tracks and breathes new life into them with a fresh set of remixes.

AMT blends ethereal piano, cello and vocals samples with driving percussion and pulsating synths to create an intense track which garnered support from Daniel Bortz, Josh Butler and Matthias Vogt to name but a few.
The title track is a much slower burner, its churning bassline and organic afterhour vibe finding favour with the connoisseurs of deep over at SEKOIA.
Rounding off the three originals is Acid Angel - hypnotic, 303-infused ambient techno, with slowly building pads and glitchy, minimalist beats.

First up on remix duties is one of Frankfurt's finest - Sweatlodge resident @Matthias-Vogt. His take on AMT strips back the percussion somewhat to make room for emotive synths that gradually rise to a beautiful climax.
@Re-Drum's more dancefloor-focused perspective on Acid Angel is next in line, with all the characteristic attention to detail and groove that we've come to expect from this talented Frenchman.
Leading us into darker territory is Amsterdam's very own @SomeChemistry, with a techy, dystopian bomb of a remix for Lost in Time which stands in stark contrast to the natural ambiance of the original.
Following up on his latest releases on Moodmusic and Making You Dance is Berlin resident @Affects, aka Jacques Müller. Also remixing Lost in Time, Affect provides us with a truly entrancing epic.
The final icing on the cake is provided by Plus Plus head honcho @Jason-Bay, returning to AMT with a tearout remix that's destined to bring huge vibes to many a sweaty dancefloor.

We are proudly presenting our second catalog number by ALEJANDRO CASTELLI from Berlin. 
His NATURAL EP features two original tracks which go by the the name of Peru and Natur. Co-producer is a well known traveling man called NU.

Peru is a stomping up tempo piece of sweeping music that blows you off your dirty dancing feet. The second title Natur slows us down a bit and makes us dream of long and warm summer days. It contains a heartwarming vocal sung by his grandma and combines classical South American sounds with a catchy tune.

On the flip side you'll find hip shaking remixes by Dutch live animal SATORI and a lovely couple from northern Germany called JUST EMMA.

Marcel Dettmann - Planning

Ahead of their highly anticipated 'DRIFT SONGS' LP which is set to arrive this October, UK dance music giants Rick Smith and Karl Hyde aka Underworld have linked up once again with their friend Ø [Phase] to present 'Border Country'.

The track marks the final part of DRIFT Episode 4 as part of the group's ambitious DRIFT series - an ongoing, fifty-two-week experiment where they publish new material every week of the year.

'Border Country' is the second collaboration with Londoner and DRIFT community member Ø [Phase]. Lithe and restless, it edges and darts through unmapped spaces into a place where grimy nocturnal electronics are driven hard by fizzing hi-hats and multiple voices rebound in from the peripheries.

Premiere: Underworld & Ø [Phase] 'Border Country'

@benjamindamage's track 'Deep Space Transit' will be released on 'Deep Space Transit' through @artsltd in June. More Info: bit.ly/BDamagePremiere
