Daniel Avery - All I Need

Release date (vinyl & digital): 7th of October

After 2 ep’s, 1 remix, 1 track licensed to Norman Nodge’s Ostgut compilation, support from Blawan, Luke Slater, Marcel Dettmann, Untold & others, gigs at Fabric, Berghain and other clubs across Europe, Ctrls delivers his 3rd EP on Token.

On the the a-side he ups the intensity once again with pure squealing machine funk in the form of ‘Modular Framework’ & ‘Displacer’.

The flip contains 2 menacing remixes of ‘Displacer’ by Sleeparchive, an inspiration to both Ctrls & Token. We never hoped for a match this perfect.

Ice cold.

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album ‘Frames Of Reference’ on Token this 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.

After the double a-sided first single ‘On The Edge / Perplexed’ in June, we now bring you the 2nd single.
‘Dirtro II’ is definitely one of the standout cuts of the album and shows Ø [Phase] in his darkest and deepest mood. On the b-side he is joined by one of his biggest inspirations & one of techno’s most legendary innovators: Robert Hood. The result is a carefully executed yet explosive peak time cut.

Ø [Phase] x Robert Hood x Token. It had to happen one day.

Skryptom 14 was huge with Pierre Delort and Remy Maurin plus the remix from The Hacker, so let’s go again for a Huge EP from our TRAUMER. Romain Poncet aka TRAUMER delivers 4 different killer tracks where the first one 'Sofa' is very deep techno, beautiful, but also dance floor friendly. On the second side we have 2 rough techno bombs with 'Oscla' a killer combination of pure Detroit banging techno and a sound who can perfectly fit to the Berghain peak time. 'Astra' is a rather industrial track with a break kick and a mix of Detroit chords and pads who make you dance and fly very very far . TRAUMER is definitely the new huge future French talent, follow him closely ….

“Bridging the gap between the old & the NEW, the minimal & the MAXIMAL, minMAX represents a widening of scope as we explore the area between the sounds of classic MINUS & PLUS 8.
As others subdivide and categorize we bring things back together, opening things up more freely and allow a closer connection to the music that I love and the sounds and textures that many of my DJ sets journey through.” - Richie Hawtin

Joran van Pol - Faded [MINUSMINMAX1]
