Press Info:
Following February’s “Diminishing Returns” by Vinicius Honorio & R.M.K, James Ruskin’s Blueprint Records continues its 30-year celebrations with a new EP by Kr!z who returns with his fourth EP for the label. Kr!z made his Blueprint debut in fine style with his “Neutrino EP” in 2022 and went on to deliver the “Revelation EP” in 2023 and “Horo EP” in 2024 so it’s fitting that he’s back to join in this landmark label anniversary.
Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene.
After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ with sharp focus and a quick mixing style in home country Belgium and the Netherlands, Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds. He rapidly established the label as a fixed value with a timeless and powerful sound and took it around the world with label nights on every continent. Token remains important in defining techno today – always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy – all under the helm of Kr!z as avid A&R.
After 12 years spent assiduously focused on curating the Token discography, showcasing artists he has nurtured and supported over this time, and incorporating the connoisseur’s knowledge and experience he has cultivated in his work as a DJ, in 2019 he released his own debut EP “Mantra” on the label, earning high acclaim from both media and key DJs. Since then, he has continued to develop a strong body of work, regularly releasing on the influential Blueprint Records and SK_eleven alongside his own Token imprint, and producing a series of notable remixes. This steady output has established him as a key figure within the techno landscape, recognized for both consistency and artistic depth.
