Press Info:
Border One pushes his sound to new extremities with this latest EP on Token ‘Spectral Tension’. Known for his driving, melodically abstract productions under eye twitching pressure, the Belgian artist takes his celestial signature and puts it to the test. These four tracks embody his sound: dancefloor experiments from a modular laboratory.

The titletrack matches its name with an obscure soundscape; the steadily paced rhythm is veiled by shimmering synth work from far out. Border One has always created depth in his music, the sonic environment is consistently, precisely described and ‘Spectral Tension’ kicks off the EP as a clear example of this technique. Explorative yet determined, Border One rolls through the track dramatically with focused percussion switches. ‘Lens Flare’ follows in suit, taunting the listener with a devious synth sequence. Claps thunder through the record like a strobe, flattening the dimension before opening for the rise. The B side presents ‘Dilated Horizon’, a slow burn with chemical sound design. Viscous synth work bubbles through a drone to create a singularly hypnotic effect and the tension remains brutally stagnant throughout the song’s entirety. The EP closes with ‘Photon Decay’, returning to dissonant keys and lurking pads far out in the stereo field. Scientific as always, Border One points a laser through this conclusion to add even more edge to an already anxious record. Skipping keys come and scratch the high end of ‘Photon Decay’, providing further mystery to the EP as a whole. Exceptional in his sound, Border One adds ‘Spectral Tension’ as his seventh release to the Token catalog.

Sabine Hoffmann – F1CC-40E3-93FC [NovaFuture Blog Mix]

 

DJ/Artist:
Sabine Hoffmann

 

Introduction:
Raised and based in Berlin, deeply connected to its vinyl culture. Sabine Hoffmann has carved out her space through a simple, dedicated approach: playing the music she loves, strictly on wax.

Sabine discovered her passion for spinning vinyl around the early 2000’s, when she was first exposed to electronic music. Today, her sets reflect this broad foundation, moving naturally between Techno and House.

Whether she is commanding the booth at legendary institutions like Berghain, Tresor, ://about blank or Heideglühen, her selections are driven by an intuitive understanding of the dancefloor and a profound respect for the roots of electronic music.

As a longtime face of Berlin’s renowned OYE Records, she sits at the source of crate digging culture. She is taking care of all OYE club events and In Stores happening at one of the record shops. Since January 2023 she is hosting the OYE Podcast series.

For Sabine, music has always been about more than just the individual performance. With her “Frauengedeck” initiative, she has spent years creating space for FLINTA* artists, prioritizing community and talent over hype.

Her newest project is “Dub Nation”. An event series brought to life by good old colleagues and friends Sabine Hoffmann and Kenneth Christiansen. Both share the unconditional love for the deeper and more dubby side of Techno and House.

She doesn’t aim for the spotlight, she aims for the right track at the right moment. That´s, what made her a respected and consistent voice in Berlin’s underground scene.
