Tech trax

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.

SIMPLE SYMMETRY - King Solomon's Mines (Soft Rocks remix)

I awoke from a vivid dream, the remix I had envisioned playing out in my mind. Swiftly, I transcribed every detail into a notebook, unwilling to let the imagined track slip away. For two consecutive days, I dedicated myself to developing this composition, meticulously crafting it until it mirrored the sound I had conceived within. I am overjoyed to now share with you my interpretation of Glue, a track I hold dear. Each time I play this this remix in my sets, a wave of emotions washes over me. It's an incredible feeling to gaze out at those who listen, witnessing them undergo similar emotions. I sincerely hope you derive pleasure from this fresh perspective on Bicep's timeless classic; it is now yours to embrace. x

Born Sleepy - One Time (Tip Records)

DJ Qu and his penchant for sinister, house-y brilliance casts a shadow over our Debuts series today. The NYC gent has enjoyed an impressive run of releases for his Strength label over the years and racked up the air miles on his regular international excursions. 

"SS1" beats along the same trodden path of unerring four-to-the-floor - rhythmic, synth stabs and body-jerking percussive sways galore. It'll find a home on Secret Sundaze, that notoriously good Sunday daytime party and imprint from inner city London.

Ready yourself for its release on March 30 and get yourself down to the Secret Sundaze Easter party on April 2 to shake a leg.

Shift Work (@shiftworking) are an electronic duo who have previously released on JD Twitch’s Glasgow label Optimo Music. They debut on Houndstooth with ‘Document II’, an EP developed from live jams on outboard analogue gear. ‘Abandoned Hands’ is lean and raw, an angular bassline and indecipherable vox punctuating the relentless 4/4 kick drum and pattering percussion. ‘SBFM’ is fuller-bodied, with the modulating bassline taking centre stage, draped in loose synths and topped with a deadpan vocal refrain.

Shift Work invited remixes from their associates, and the results are impressive, with DVA Damas (@dvadamasdvadamas) dialling down the tempo and stripping back ‘Abandoned Hands’ further still, whilst Factory Floor (@factory-floor) return to remix duty on Houndstooth with a typically subtle yet infectious building take on 'SBFM'.
