I admit, we took our time for this one. Almost half a year after Inigo Kennedy's 'The Darkest Valentine' release, we finally bring you nr 18. Phase gives you 3 new minimalist tracks with a serious prescence and relentless pulse that refuses to stay static. He is one of the few producers who really understands the subtlety, dynamics, complexity and energy of purist techno and implicitly manages to execute it with finesse every time.
Amongst his fans are Robert Hood, Derrick May, Luke Slater & Marcel Dettmann. No surprise there..
Ben Klock: thanks for the music! Plateau Station and Dome Argus will be berghained this weekend! :) Luke Slater: love the tracks, in my april chart Peter Van Hoesen: Probably one of my favourite Token releases so far. The focused approach in all three tracks really pays off. Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts): I'm a big fan of Phase and Token in general. Will get heavily played... Dave Clarke: about bloody time :) 2562 / a made up sound: dome argus is the one for me here, thanks! DVS1: Nice! Thank you...Just pulled out some older Phase records recently!! Favorite is Plateau Station, but all 3 are definitly getting played! Perc: Reminds me of the classic Wild Pitch sound gone techno. All tracks are strong but Dome Argus' slightly sinister vibe wins it for me. Full support and charting Dustin Zahn: This EP shows a slightly different direction for Token. "Transantarctic and Plateau Station" are fucking fantastic and can't wait to play them out!! Jolka (sect rec): nice tension building in plateau station, phase style. Inigo Kennedy: 'Dome Argus' for me. Great stuff! The squidgy and Detroity 'Transantarctic' is a catchy grower too! Dimi Angelis (Counterpart, Figure, Traut Muzik): cool stuff. don,t know which track i prefer but i'll find out soon Northern Structures (sonic groove): Phase delivering as always. Will definitely be playing these. Dome Argus particularly, at first listen that seems to have the best (to my ears) mixdown as well. Makaton: Plateau station for me. Got a Bicknell 'Lost' sound. Deep in the right places. Good stuff. Bas Mooy (audio assault):: Great stuff...as expected! Will play and chart! Thanks Laurent Garnier: ohh fuck yesssssssssssss technasia: great ep! love and will play all tracks. plateau station is my fav Max M (M_rec): Gosh, absolutely wicked, 3 killer track. Full support Kike Pravda: Full Support!! Paul Boex (dynamic reflection) : Always a big fan of Ashley's work. Powerfull tunes and phat grooves. Transantarctic is my fav! Tom@ Sect records: Three more victories in the fight for what's right in techno.
