After releases by Phase & Xhin, which left the techno scene with a pair of extra holes, Token now introduces its third release for 2012.
We introduce a new name: Ctrls, from Copenhagen, Denmark.
A new name, but not a new artist. Troels B-Knudsen is an ex drum & bass head and earned his producer stripes throughout the years. He slowly made his transition to techno and last year him & long time friend Lasse Buhl formed Northern Structures. To great acclaim, they released their first 2 EP's on Adam X's legendary Sonic Groove label.

2012 sees the start of a new chapter, his solo project: Ctrls.
His debut for Token is called 'Interface EP' and holds 3 powerful pieces in Ctrls' own style: hard edged, stripped down, metallic sounds, detailed drum programming and a mean low end.

With this first EP and a follow up in the works, we're excited to add Ctrls to the Token roster.
Take notice.

Darko Esser: Token''s fine nose for fresh sounds leads to us to new refreshing artists once again! CTRLS hits the spot big time, Social Vecter and especially Socket blow my mind!
Pacou:solid work! thanks
Philip Sherburne (The Wire, Resident Advisor): this is great! "social vector" is really cool, really twitchy and nervous, but dead funky. same goes for "encrypted sex." "socket" is good too, even if it gives me the feeling of insects underneath my skin...
Makaton: Great release. Encrypted Sex is one for me.
Grovskopa: Tearing Berghain a new one with 'Social Vector' sure was one of my finer moments as a DJ. No cheap tricks and thrills needed with such pure somatic body music. This is what techno should always be like, but very few artists manage to pull it off. One of the best Token releases to date, thus also making it one of the best techno EPs in recent years.
