Release Text:
With this release, Yrsen explores his deeper side — a more introspective and textural approach. From the slow build of Intro to the tension of Who Goes There, each track unfolds with restraint and focus. Black Dahlia stands as the emotional core, shadowed and unresolved, before DXRVO showcases his signature pace, reshaping it into something colder and sharper. Dissonance Theory closes in a deep techno experimentation that leaves interpretation open.

GTG Premiere | Yrsen - Dissonance Theory [LUNAR004]

Born in Costa Rica, producer and DJ Linear System bends sound with flawless precision. For #252, he delivers a fully live recorded mix that shows exactly why his sound stands out: intricate layers, sci-fi textures, crisp percussion, and brooding low-ends that pull you deep into his world.

His sets and productions move seamlessly from rough, floor-shaking cuts to clean, reverb-laced tools that twist your mind inside out. With releases on labels like Molecular Recordings, Planet Rhythm, and Modern Minimal he continues to shape a sharp, future-focused sound. Beyond DJing, his releases have received international acclaim and strong support across the scene. 

This is his first and only live set of 2025. 

We’ll let the snippets speak for themselves. 

Enter the current with #252.

Token presents the 6th chapter of the Fuga series. Challenging new faces to complete the label’s sound, Fuga VI is another focused compilation that balances spatial detail and rhythmic bite. 
Skipping any introduction to dive straight into the essence of the compilation, Skjöld portrays ‘Forbidden City’ as a tense aquatic exploration. With pressure in the low end, he keeps the record alive by conjuring obscure pads to give dimension and intrigue to an already nervous track. This persistence is quickly met with weight; Tapefeed’s ‘Residual Memory’ follows up to tap into the label’s more aggressive side. Riddled with mechanical sound design bordering on the industrial, the Tapefeed duo creates dancefloor dominating energy that sets them apart with an all-out approach. The density of this second track feeds smoothly into Stephen Disario’s ‘Out Of Tune’ - a drum-forward record with dispersed texture. The LA based producer puts his hi hats brutally forward to cut through the space, finding a remarkable balance between its two sides and exploiting its confrontation. Returning to the label’s recognizable resonance, Merino steps in with ‘Memoria’ - a manic 5 minute synth loop with minimal percussion. Dealing in restraint and dissonance, Merino naturally finds a home in Fuga VI with this track before heading back into the peak time paranoia of JSPRV35 in ‘Question’. Pushing up the intensity and flicking through vintage percussion lines, ‘Question’ is an extraverted homage to the origins of techno that embodies flair.  The track drives through the middle of Fuga with ease, bouncing rhythm off a sharp bassline with thundering claps and snares. ‘Catch 22’ by Terminus restores balance with minimalism but pace. A hypnotic break in the second half is sure to mesmerize dancers and home listeners alike. Stuttering hats shake throughout ‘Catch 22’ to push the track along, keeping the harmony low and maintaining focus on the movement. With a similar tempo, Sanna Mun follows up with ‘Binary Systems’. A speedrun through an acid-like bassline, the track’s rhythm is obsessive and persistent as we reach the conclusion of the compilation. Fuga VI comes full circle with a ghostly track by Mode_1 called ‘Lifespan’, stretching time and tunneling through with booming toms and shuffled hats. Keeping the pressure high and maintaining that never ending energy is the only way to wrap up such a high energy release and Mode_1 does just that.
