Forged in the pitch black recesses of underground Berlin, long-time conspirators Sawlin & Subjected have been making bold, distinct and largely faceless techno from the cloisters of their Vault Series home. Now comes the first in a two-part EP for Electric Deluxe, titled ‘Foreign Awake’, a much broodier spacy homage than we’ve yet heard from the pair.

Shying away from usual PR and biographies, Sawlin, Subjected and their third Vault Series member Mørbeck have been making names for themselves on the weight of their music alone. Raw, industrial hues, distortion and chest-caving basslines are some of the tropes that have coloured their anonymous ascension to date. While Sawlin has strayed a little from the Vault camp, Subjected has yet to release elsewhere. Until now. In April Subjected released his debut LP, ‘Zero’, which channeled his and the label’s respected tough and concept-free aesthetic into a fully functioning full length. But for Electric Deluxe they’ve served up something all together different.

Swapping their usual gung-ho floor artillery for swirling atmospheric vistas, subtle tones and cavernous empty spaces, ‘Foreign Awake pt.1’ sees Sawlin & Subjected paint chilling, post-apocalypse landscapes in three parts. Deep, dark and dangerously hypnotic, this is Sawlin & Subjected at their most compelling.

WU38 - Westphalia Ep - Jonas Kopp - preview

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 16th of March 2015

A spiralling maze of echoing bleeps and blips, booming low-end and warped orchestral flourishes dominate Token's latest offering. Considering the EP comes from Miguel Sar, an artist who has made his name aligning pulsating 4am techno with as many abstract, otherworldly details as he can muster however, perhaps this is to be expected. Under the alias 'Tadeo', Sar has navigated his way through richly textured dub, meandering acid and rugged warehouse techno, arriving at a sound which takes influence from each of his previous endeavours.

Earlier this month Token was graced with its 50th release in the catalogue, Ctrls' rough-edged three-tracker, 'Users'. Joining the label's rather impressive roster, Sar follows in excellent form - the 'Terra Incognita' EP making up the Spanish producer, DJ and label owner's debut on the imprint. The EP keeps the listener in a constant state of suspense, mind-bending atmospherics and driving percussion working up to sweltering climaxes at Sar's chosen moments. 'The Possibility Of An Encounter' or 'Apollo 7' for example thunder forward leaving little room to gather breath, both sinister and hypnotic in equal measure.

'Deep Space' is another dark, unsettling affair. Arpeggiated chords snake between deep, tribal rhythms. Sar's intoxicating synthwork is reinforced by steadily building woodwind melodies, creating moments of rushing intensity before sinking backdown into  brooding soundscapes.

'Mind Possibilities' deploys a similar mediation between synthetic and acoustic textures, yet in other instances Sar chooses to turn the focus to almost entirely orchestral timbres. 'Despert' closes the release with staccato'd oboes, swelling low-end and delicate strings, showing creativity and versatility rarely found in EPs with this much dancefloor appeal.

Red Humana

PREMIERE: Horacio Cruz - Red Humana [MFM Records]

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
