Lucy plays four hour set for Token clubnight

Token has become one of the most important techno control centers in recent years. The Belgian label founded by Kr!z in 2007 has built extremely talented producers such as Ø [phase] and Inigo Kennedy and still pushing its contemporary and timeless sound forward. The label has recently animated their compilation Aphelion with seasoned warriors such as Surgeon and Lucy to peak the performance. In the recent Berghain label night a large part of the Token crew was performing alongside a couple of Aphelion combatants including Rødhåd, Lucy, and former drum’n’bass producer CTRLS, covering the more experimental part of the label.

New Wave Special Edition by DJ Hell

Brand old mix tape from 2013 

DJ Hell (or simply Hell) has balanced Detroit minimalism and Chicago acid-house as well as more spacious German trance and hardcore. Beginning his mixing career while still a teenager, Hell moved through punk and new wave to electro, house and hip-hop by the mid-’80s. His DJing gradually led to the start of his production career, and one of his first singles “My Definition of House Music” became a large club hit when reissued by Belgium’s R&S Records in 1992. He moved to Berlin to work with Hardwax Records during 1993-94, and also spent time in New York before moving back to his native Munich. Besides releasing his album debut Geteert und Gefedert on Disko B in 1994, DJ Hell recorded a volume in the Studio !K7 mix series X-Mix. His second full-length, Munich Machine, also appeared on Disko B — though credited simply to Hell. Besides continuing to DJ around the world, he also ran the International Deejay Gigolos label, which released tracks by Jeff Mills, Christopher Just and David Carretta, among others.

Hell’s been given free reign to turn the Neon Judgement‘s “TV Treated” into a dangerously corrosive churner. Lektroluv release “TV Treated” remixes in March.

Marcos Valle “1985 (Theo Parrish Remix)” by Boiler Room Debuts

Throughout his six decade career, infiltrating pop, bossa nova, delicate psychedelia, jazz and funk, Marcos Valle, ‘the original Rio beach boy’ has consistently shown a dogged determination to transcend the traditions and structures of bossa nova, whilst never veering away from the movement’s inherent, fundamental spirit.

It’s fair to say that the ever boundary pushing Theo Parrish can be seen in a similar vein with regards to house and techno, but his musical creativeness reaches far beyond Chicago and Detroit, as he demonstrates with this re-work of a modern Brazilian classic.

A 12-inch heavyweight vinyl out on Far Out Recordings in late April.

Azymuth on NTS Radio

“Celebrating 40 years since the release of their seminal debut album, ‘Azimuth’, Brazilian Jazz-Funk pioneers Azymuth toured Europe in February and March this year. The tour coincided with the album’s reissue on Far Out Recordings, which has been re-mastered and released in a gatefold sleeve and on super-heavyweight vinyl. During their time in London, the band stopped by NTS Radio to talk to their good friend, the boss of Far Out, Joe Davis and play some of the records tied in with their history, including some incredible never before heard demos recorded in the early 70s.”
