Reprocessed 1 (Sigha & P. Van Hoesen)

Phase – Binary Opposition Reprocessed Phase aka Ashley Burchett made his name in the early noughties by releasing a string of underground classics on Steve Bicknell's legendary Cosmic imprint and 65d Mavericks' Surface (and sister label Inceptive). When Belgium's Token Records emerged in early 2007, he (next to fellow Londoner Inigo Kennedy) quickly became the core of the label, responsible for the majority of the output. Burchett's detailed drum programming results in punchy, in-your-face, yet very subtle rhythms. Combined with a keen sense of atmospherics & sound processing, his tracks gained early support by the likes of Robert Hood, Derrick May & Jeff Mills; 3 names whose influence is also clearly present in Phase's music. Beginning of 2012 Phase caused quite a storm in techno's landscape with the release of 'Binary Opposition'. Both versions, "Process 1 & 2", fierce pieces of relentless yet deep techno, got on heavy rotation by Blawan, Ben Klock, Surgeon, Marcel Dettmann, Dave Clarke, to name a few.
