This time, RØDHÅD tunes into a place of reflection and reformation on his most avant-garde project to date: WSNWG - BACK TO ZERO. Intended to provide a space for solo releases, the imprint comes at a crucial turning point, as society circles in on itself during the pandemic.
RØDHÅD christens the label with MOOD, his first ambient experimentalist release, comprised of his own solo archival material mostly from 2017/2018, working on a plane of spontaneity, devoid of set structures. The result is a life-giving, intimate and solipsistic work. Awash with field recordings, droning loops and subtle granulations, the sparse soundscapes on the 18- track album are deeply profound and satisfying.
Collating a myriad of emotions through this sonic venture, RØDHÅD demonstrates his kaleidoscopic nature as a producer of atmospheric and ambient soundscapes, as well as his legacy provider of dance floor energies. The album will have unique artwork contributed by DJ & producer Silent Servant.

Rødhåd is one of the city's most promising and talked about new artists of the last year. With only 2 EP's on Dystopian (the label he helms with friends) & 1 remix on Semantica, that's quite an achievement. 'Spomeniks EP' is his first release outside of Dystopian but preserves his deep & melancholic yet powerful style. Apart from a rising producer & prolific dj, Rødhåd is a very down to earth guy with a strong vision and an open mind. Definitely a match with anything Token stands for. FEEDBACK Early support from Luke Slater, Sigha, Marcel Dettmann, Cosmin Trg, Adam Beter, Norman Nodge, Shifted, Steve Rachmad, Len Faki & many more.

Rødhåd presents: CRIMSON RUBEUS - the first ever compilation on WSNWG - BACK TO ZERO will be released on April 3rd
Under the leitmotif "WE SEE NEW WORLDS GROWING", the release marks a progression for the imprint to open up for solo releases from new artists and and long term collaboraters.
The compilation features 8 tracks handpicked by Rødhåd, each characterized by a vigorous commitment to the dancefloor while staying true to the label's signature - hard-to-resist sound with a pinch of mystery.
While every contribution has its distinct magnetic pull, marking the way to a nascent world, the crimson red thread running through this compilation is perpetuating, swirling techno with an acute fit for the dancefloor.

I don't feel anything. Anymore. I will not feel myself. For sure. Well, I don't feel anything. Anymore. I can't even remember if I ever did. But it's hard to do so. It's hard to feel me. Feel myself. Have feelings for someone else. And if I do so, I just run away. Running away seems my only way...

Re-issue alert! Whirlpool Productions "Fly Hi/Gimme" appeared first in 1993 on the one time and made up label 5th&Madison. The fascination that a young Justus Köhncke had for the then bubbling sounds, strictly rhythms and nu grooves of New York house music sparked the idea to join in the chant with a production of his own. Add his co-producer Fred Heimermann, the buzzing DJ and brilliant music journalist Hans Nieswandt and a visitor from San Francisco named Eric D. Clark, the singer Heather Sachs and samples by Mel Tormé to the flamboyant picture and you know why the records sounds like it does: swinging house music through the lenses of a colorful cast or how some German people thought New Jersey's Zanzibar would sound. Fly Hi embodies the sophisticated deep and soulful approach, while Gimme satisfies the more hysteric approach. Favoured and championed by DJs like Tony Humphries at the time, officially released by Snap's Logic Records and never vacated from Move D's record bag, it's re-issued in all its glory for the first time on Running Back. Additionally, Move D puts his fingerprint on it with a disco leaning and upbeat remix of "Gimme". Extensive liner notes by Hans Nieswandt upon request. Life is still in hi-fly!

12” vinyl with full cover print
TRACKLIST:
A1. Quintessence
A2. Elusive
B1. Diminished Dub
B2. Unattributed
INFO:
On Figure X45 we are presenting a new up and coming artist, Jancen. With only a handful releases under his belt, this promising young dutchman delivers immaculate productions that veer between the deep and the jacking, always powerful and driving but with a strong sense of groove pervading throughout.
His opener Quintessence leans on the hypnotic side, distilling the effect of a mesmerizingly simple loop reduced to the beauty of its essential elements. Racking up the momentum is tightly bouncing Elusive, riding a funky acid riff that transforms the track into one of those unexpected moments of raising the energy mid-set.
On the B-side, Jancen showcases his talent of building mind-expanding dub-techno excursions, as the echoes of Diminished Dub roll out while even packing some proper propulsive percussion on top! Final track Unattributed takes us way down the rabbit hole into atmospheric trippy territory as searing hats pave the path ever further into the belly of the beast.
For buyers of the digital package, Frostbite sits somewhere in between all of the above, combining sparse stabs of resonant synths with thumping kicks and a pumping rhythm to find that complex equilibrium of depth and charge…
Stay tuned for more tracks from Jancen to keep you warm later this winter, coming right here on Figure.

B1. Winnie’s Karaoke
B2. Winnie’s Karaoke – Sundown Mix
Release Info:
Essentia is not only the latin word for – you guessed that right – essential, but also the name of Krystal Klear’s return to Running Back. While trance might be a state of mind (according to DJ Dag), it’s also a tone theory with a very specific tool kit. Here you get the version that makes sense in the aural universe of a producer that got raised on a diet of hip hop, boogie and the foundation tunes in house music. Moderate in tempo, the result is still euphoric to say the least: melted brains, stimulated spinal cords and rave rampage included. Essentia balances the euphoric rush of its topical genre perfectly with the happy-sad moments after the rave. If that is not musical or emotional enough for your taste, you will find content in the Sunrise version. Excessive use of the well-beloved choir, breakbeats and - downs make it equally irresistible for sun-ups and love-ups.
Flip the coin for Winnies Karaoke. Stemming from the same source and session as Essentia. Named after the interactive entertainment bar in Chinatown NYC and made sometime in the early morning hours, its the quintessential Krystal Klear. Sawtooth boogie, if you will. It’s counterpoint is the Sundown mix. Techno prog for the tilted generation.
Sometimes, in the permanent search of happiness, the world of tomorrow needs the sound of yesterday made with the means and minds of today. Essential bliss.

Release Notes:
Come for the leopard, stay for the stone cold jams. Yet another thrilling, funky-prog jazzy-rock fusion beauty from Ian Carr’s Nucleus. Originally released on Vertigo in 1975, Alleycat was never re-pressed so those original copies are now very tricky to score. Like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well and this Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press.
Genius trumpeter and visionary composer Ian Carr was one of the most respected British musicians of his era. He was a true pioneer and saw the potential in fusing the worlds of jazz with rock, just as Miles Davis and The Tony Williams Lifetime did in the US. In late 1969, following the demise of the Rendell-Carr quintet, and tiring of British jazz, Carr assembled the legendary Nucleus. Regarding music as a continuous process, Nucleus refused to “recognise rigid boundaries” and worked on delivering what they saw as a “total musical experience”. We can get behind that.
Under bandleader Carr, Nucleus existed as a fluid line-up of inventive, skilled musicians. This constant evolution and revolution was all part of the continuous musical exploration and discovery that took jazz to new levels. And the music has stayed relevant. To steal a line from a recent review of our re-issue of Roots, when it comes to anything Nucleus “it’s basically already hip-hop”.
Alleycat was the last Nucleus album recorded for the Vertigo label. Released in 1975, it was again meticulously produced by Jon Hiseman and is every bit as sinuous as anything else the group had recorded. As far as riff-laden accidental cop-funk goes, there’s so much energy coursing through the music that at times it sounds like a live recording. It’s pretty unbeatable.
Uptempo opener “Phaideaux Corner” is a funk-flavoured opus with a groove that simply swaggers. This trademark Roger Sutton piece benefits from Trevor Tomkins’s percussive expertise and some excellent sax and keyboard soloing. Check out Geoff Castle on squelchy, stabbing Moog duties. Ian Carr’s elegantly laidback title track is a lengthy suite of magisterial themes. Typically complex, it still gets you hooked and is just riddled with the funk. Carr builds up his initially “straight” trumpet solo with later use of echo to mesmeric effect. And there’s some excellent wah-wah guitar shredding by Ken Shaw too. Nice.
The second side opens with the killer “Splat” and finds Nucleus really ripping it up. A fat, funky bass guitar riff introduces us to the track and stays with us until the end. The often mangled bass groove is pushed along by rattling drums and percussion, dropping out for some restful moments of spacey calm, and along the way picking up some lengthy keyboard noodling by Castle. So so good.
The cool “You Can’t Be Sure” is a gentle jam with Shaw on 12-string acoustic guitar, together with Carr’s muted trumpet and some marvellous fretless work from Sutton for extra colour. The album closes with Bob Bertles’ galloping “Nosegay”, written perhaps as a response to some of the faster Mahavishnu Orchestra pieces. It’s an example of well crafted jazz-rock that doesn’t compromise any of its jazziness, yet it still very definitely rocks.
This Be With re-issue of Alleycat has been re-mastered from the original Vertigo master tapes, Simon Francis’ mastering working together with Pete Norman’s cut to weave their usual magic with these wonderful recordings. The cool AF cover - that leopard was just a cat before he heard Nucleus, you know - has been restored as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.

French by way of Berlin DJ/producer La Fraicheur finally delivers with a first 9-track
album, Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, her first release on the InFiné label.
This remarkably dense, dancefloor-oriented album oscillates between techno,
ambient and electronic music, a mesmeric yet pounding effort that gets the body and
the mind moving. Gone and The Movements, the most vindictive and propulsive
tracks are veritable ecstatic missiles that are sure to create aftershocks on
dancefloors for months to come.
While this album was primarily produced in Berlin, where La Fraicheur has been
living for the past six years, it also owes a debt to Detroit. Over the summer of 2017,
the young woman was privy to a six-week residence at Underground Resistance
mythical studios. There, she alternated between immersive work sessions,
surrounded by the machine that birthed some of techno culture’s most iconic tracks,
and long bike ride among the city’s deserted highways and luxuriating abandoned
gardens. She also met Mike Banks, the label’s mythical figure: «one of the most
important meetings in my life.» She ventured into the adjacent General Motors
Fisher Plant to record takes, which make up the raw material for the track «Plant
21».
The musician has been making strides in the electronic sphere for over ten years
now, at first solely as a DJ, and then as a producer. Having been initiated to the art of
mixing since her teenage years, she absorbed a number of music styles before
focusing on house and techno, which her older sister introduced her to by taking her
to clubs such as Le Pulp. At the beginning of the 2000s, she played regular set in
Paris and elsewhere, while experimenting with a number of jobs in the music
industry. While living in Montréal she rubbed shoulders with the indie rock milieu
(even picking up a guitar for some time), before setting out to Berlin.
«I thought I would stop mixing when I moved to Berlin. Once there, I quickly realized
that I hadn’t seen anything yet in terms of electronic music in general and clubs in
particular... In Berlin, I was totally invigorated: I have found the urge to mix and I felt
for the first time the urge to compose.» In Berlin, in those clubs where the nights
stretch endlessly, she started dancing and developing a much more organic
relationship with music. In 2015, she decided to put aside all of her moonlighting and
concentrate exclusively and intensively on her music, alternating between DJ sets
and composition sessions in her home studio.
She became a resident at Salon zur Wilde Renate, one of the city’s leading clubs,
where she threw the Quer nights — a reference to the German word quer (which
means «across» or «sideways») and the word queer — for over two years. A
member of the Female:Pressure network, La Fraicheur is also a committed
feminist activist, and an active member of the fervent queer scene. She is a guest of
the scene’s hottest parties of the moment Gegen, Pornceptual or even House of
Red Doors.
Present on several fronts at the same time, she maintains a close relationship with
the Mensch Meier, of which she speaks as her home. A creation of the legendary
Fusion Festival team, the highly alternative club (which is more than a club) is
renowned for its very eclectic music programming, as well as political commitment.
Overseeing the techno part of the club, La Fraicheur also shares in the political
values that the club seeks to defend, which are both part and parcel of the
establishment’s identity.
«I want to use moments of dancing to stimulate a bit of political awakening,» she
says, and, speaking of her album in particular, (on which are scattered various
samples of politically explicit content (for example, excerpts from an interview with
Angela Davis). While Self Fulfilling Prophecy clearly aspires to raise awareness, it
does so subtly, without ever relegating music to the second class. This is neither
«ready-to-think» or «ready-to-dance», but an assembly of sophisticated rhythms,
sounds and words that it are up to each listener to interpret in their own way. La
Fraicheur does not seek to deliver a message, or impose a discourse, but to distill
an idea and suggest a relationship to the world – a report to the world based on the
affirmation of self and acceptance of others in all their differences.
