Releasenotes:
Token sees the return of Brussels-based Border One for 4 tracks of no nonsense,
body focused music. This collection of tracks, meant to deliver uncompromising
groove, affirms Border One's sonic identity through his use of evolving yet
persistent tension brewing above hypnotic elements. This signature storm adds a
dimension to Cyclone that guides the listener between club and mind by adding
this constant yet recognizable anticipation.

The EP opens up at full capacity with the title track; bent metallics over an
intimidatingly deep kick are stalked and circled by a sinister pad that leaves
only to release maximum tension. This peak-time cut is followed by the subdued
A2 'Halo' where, this time, melodic ambience is prioritized. Light toms drive us
forward to undress a track with a patiently strained arrangement, partially
through a filter only opening fully midway through, imposing the producer's
pace. Border One then lifts the energy with 'Stratus' through 1/16th rhythmics
with an almost psychotic arpeggio and tunneling hi hats in a track that can be
visually described as racing fractals. The invigoratingly hypnotic quality of
'Stratus' creates an ultimate  closed-eye dance floor experience to then pull us
into 'Spheric' that closes the EP out in an entirely new but familiar cosmic
atmosphere. Space is given to this last cut, with short plucked synths
resonating through vast soundscapes, giving the project an ethereal closing over
lighter, bouncing percussion.
