rodhad: haumea

Located beyond Neptune's orbit is the dwarf planet Haumea, the inspiration behind Rødhåd's second release for Token. Rødhåd is now a respected staple of European techno and his three-track Haumea single features an alternative Dirt version of the title-track mixed by the Dystopian co-founder, and a second remix by Ø [Phase]. "Haumea" is a bleepy production that straddles the divide between the Detroit techno of Jeff Mills and newer European interpretations mixed with coarse hi-hats. The B-side's "Dirt" version provides a minimal alternative which strips the original's murky low-end. Ø [Phase]'s chugging remake compliments the theme of this spacey record.
