wenn sie die musikalische welt von viken betreten, werden sie bald feststellen, dass der musiker eine interessante wendung im sound genommen hat. die ep schlägt eine brücke zwischen der elektronischen musik und dem künstlerischen umfeld, mit dem viken aufgewachsen ist.

a rainy night in the autumn, bottenvikens silverkyrka recorded with the cantor olof petrus in umea city church. improvisation and inspiration resulted in stadskyrkan ep which features four organ-and-techno-driven acid tracks with themes on collectivity, techno spirit and world-wide movement. stadskyrkan ep is the third chapter of the three-o-trinity, the revivalist acid series released by the duo, succeeding det stora uppvaknandet and arken. bottenvikens silverkyrka is a northern sweden congregation that preaches through their machine music: acid techno infused with the message of eternity in the tradition of the swedish revival movement.

spanish techno artist aiken is back on his own timeline label with another ep that offers up four more of his evocative takes on the genre. it comes after previous outings on non series and semantica and is his label’s first release since 2016. “basic principles” is up first and mesmerises with a pulsing lead synth line that forever changes shape. pummelling drums power along below and add up to a disorientating and hypnotic overall effect. “theory” is deeper and more rubbery, with manic synths and pads all racing along and pilling on the pressure while “midline” is right out fo the jeff mills playbook with its molten sci-fi synths journeying through outer space. clean, crips drums are upright and taught and get you on your toes, then “restriction” closes things out in superb minimalist fashion. this ep covers plenty of ground, and all of it is utterly compelling.

aikens recent contribution to psyks non series gets remixed by talented uk producers blawan, volte-face and james ruskin. blawans remix of genetics sets the tone with energetic rhythms and trippy sound textures, volte-face delivers a progressive and hypnotic version of hybrid and james ruskin ends the release with his own intense yet funky interpretation of dominance.

here is a new release for presale: a new ep by viken arman on his own imprint denature records. it comes with two remixes by acid pauli & nicola cruz.

with releases on loxy’s cylon and a track on the final hardware lp, the enigmatic shiken hanzo goes all-in on the first vinyl release on his own label hojo clan - and it’s an absolute lesson in claustrophobic half-time futurism.
the title track drapes the relentless velvety punch of 808s in a swirling landscape of spidery synth trails and mushrooming low-end radioactivity, reminding us of clarity’s precision futurescapes on samurai.
“yari vip” exhumes the bones of “shadowboxing” in its melody and layers them hypnotically across another dark, interrupted creeper.

madrid-based aiken returns this summer on psyks non series with a powerful solo ep. the spanish artist delivers his well-known haunting atmospheres in ‘genetics, offering distorted cuts among funky sonorities. a progressive and vibrating pulse characterises this 4 tracker.

the legendary moscow club propaganda celebrates its 20th anniversary in april 2017 and launches a brand new record label. the label will cover different styles of intelligent electronic music, focusing on techno in the first year. at the beginning there will be released music by great artists who had performances at propaganda club in past. more artists will be involved and more excellent music will be released over time.

bottenvikens silverkyrka welcomes you to a collective trip towards eternity with the ep arken, a sequel to det stora uppvaknandet. the congregation has recorded tracks to convey a sensation of dance as salvation. contributing to the record are anna levander, sebastian adolfsson, ingrid marklund, ulrika stenhamre and mats wikstroem. the mission of arken is to gather, listen, dance and together end time.
pressing on transparent yellow vinyl.

life is an important track for me. i m obsessed with the past, with history and the way we apprehend life through the ages. i tried to express this deep feeling into music. so this track is about someone or something growing up. its really as intense and emotional as life can be. here today, gone tomorrow!

an object resists changing its state of motion with inertia. what pushes back must then be even more vigorous in order to create a uid movement. an example of the force that embodies this dynamic can be found clearly on the appropriately titled inertia, aiken’s much anticipated return to chronicle. the spanish artist has been spending years honing his craft, focusing on sharp, distinct sounds that create a pure sense of kinetic energy. the title track of the ep bolsters a erce disarray of carefully (de)constructed atonal synthwork and a rhythm section that is set to detonate. it is then followed by “axial”, a track that stays as true to modular miscalculations as it does to stripped down techno, combining both in a subliminal cessation of sanity. however aiken isn’t done there. he continues with “magnetism”, which throws a brick in the glass of conventionality with its earth-shaking layers of textured momentum. phased pads then wash over “soul drama”, bringing the entire experience to an emotionally laced denouement. after the potency of his last record on chronicle as well as his releases on imprints such as his own label timeline and the spanish powerhouse semantica, inertia marks a de nitive step forward for an already exceptionally de ned artist.

as we welcome another talented artist to our family we asked viken about the first part of a two part release and he told us it s really important to understand that this ep is a series of pictures telling a story. combining the names of all the tracks one gets this interesting and dreamy sentence, on a blue road a white shadow feels the winter. to translate these pictures into music, i needed a very particular sound. since i am a huge fan of jazz music i took one of my favorite records, used a lot of samples and reworked them in my own way. from the technical aspect, i decided to reconnect with my first love: analog machines. i love working with sound textures. i stayed away from my laptop and all my vst/plugins as i felt the need to compose these tracks in an unusual way: i wanted the sound to be really pure. that s the reason why this process was so essential for me. for me, this ep is the first one to sound like this. this is the first of two releases from a deeply talented soul. a patient collage of house, jazz, acid squiggles and deep emotion. played and loved all summer long by lee burridge at all day i dream, these tracks will stay with you through winter and into next summer.

(limited 12inch hand stamped vinyl, red ink) non series celebrates five years with three-part compilation series. vinyl part 3 of 3 feature tadeo, eduardo de la calle, mark broom and aiken

sireli is the first release of viken armans newly created record label. he will be gathering his closest friends on this project and was was joined by bedouin, mira, christopher schwarzwalder, canson and nutia for this ep. sireli is an amalgam of vikens unique folkloric and traditional crafted sounds. drop of raki is the result of an unexpected early morning collaboration with jo.ke and iannis ritter. the track goes deeper into vikens armenian roots and oriental influences.

aiken is back on his homebase. the third release on his selfcurated techno imprint counts four headnodding floor jams. hypnotic melodies searching their way through rumbling percussion patterns. this is trademark deep techno from madrid.

bottenvikans silverkyrka is a northern sweden congregation that preaches through their machine music: acid techno infused with the message of infinity in the tradition of the swedish revival movement. in their first release “det stora uppvaknanet” (the great awakening), bottenvikens silverkyrka distributes their faith and hope that more people will be saved and make their own acid revival meetings. there are tracks for the acid baptism, communion and for the dance revival.

after a successful launch of his own imprint last year, label owner aiken is now back with the second ep. his first release of 2016 and the second release on the timelime imprint counts four four-­to­&#8208,,,,,,,the­&#8208,,,,,,,floor techno bangers in his own signature style. warehouse proof peaktime jams.

kicking off with the first track -lose yourself-, vikan arman mixes different cultural influences to an exciting and mysterious intro of the 3 track ep. guitars rise into unknown spaces of deep bass and hidden complexity of beatstructures.

after several successful releases on labels like semantica, non series, chronicle and m_rec ltd, aiken has taken a new step in his career with the creation of his own label. with this new project, aiken aims to express his creativity with the combination of different influences.

unfinished evolution is the spanish producers first ep for non series. hypnotic minimal techno

lena willikens is a secret encyclopaedia on everything düsseldorf (see her involvement in salon des amateurs), everything brussels, and everything new wave, that is barely the whole truth- it is actually just the tip of the iceberg.

end of dayz is back with this powerful release by aiken. the original tracks are hard times that is a driving techno madness track, and impatient more hypnotic and deep, but intense as well. the remixes come from the hands of cleric and jared wilson. the first one is a destroyer techno bomb and the second is a 90 s flavored house gem. supported by: laurent garnier, nx1, dj deep, benjamin damage, thomas hessler

second aiken 12inch for semantica. four excellent subtle yet powerful & hypnotic techno cuts.

we who like to think of ourselves as disruptors felt that the time has come for a shift. a new path for chronicle emerges, carved out with a new series of 7 inch records limited to only 250 copies. our inaugural release, entitled words for silence, will be unleashed at our debut chronicle showcase on march 29th at berghain. as our way of giving thanks to our supporters the first 10 copies will be passed out in secrecy to attendants looming in the shaded corners of the club. words for silence features two driving tracks from aiken and the illusive ben gibson – two producers that have both crafted powerful eps for us and will be gracing the decks that evening along with nick dunton (65 d mavericks), boris, oliver deutschmann and mike dehnert among others. we could not be more honored to host this night, and look forward to unveiling more releases of this caliber for other special events/turning points. so watch out below… aikens *singularity* has a groove that beeps like a time bomb waiting to explode, washing over you with its sinful drones - while gibsons track *parallax* takes things a bit deeper with pastoral pads and fluttering hi-hats. together they create a balance of rhythm and energy that will be well suited for a number of unique moments while in the chamber.

part of a constellation of little known, largely spanish techno artists who have defined semantica as a must-watch techno label since at least 2009 but really for its entire history, aikens work is also a stunning summation of the qualities that make this small group of leading-edge talents essential encapsulations of the genres musical progression up until this time. deeply rooted in the innovations of detroit, berlin and new york, his music also takes in flourishes of sound design and broken-beat experimentalism rooted in the rich past of uk dance music

lycaon launches syntagma, its fourth release, a work of aiken, an artist closely related to the distinctive sound of the label and one of the pillars that will hold its future production. an original cut and two remixes by agony forces, lycaon owners, round off the tracklist of this release
