Only a few years ago an unknown producer released his inaugural track which flew up the Resident Advisor and Beatport charts, something usually done by an experienced producer under a fresh alias. Sable Sheep however cut his teeth in the heavy metal scene and his heavy percussive house pays tribute to the likes of Slipknot and Bury Your Dead. In a mere two years the German newcomer has played major events including Barcelona’s Sonar and ADE in the Netherlands. His work has been championed by the likes of Marco Carola, Matthias Tanzmann, Luciano and Loco Dice as well as emerging on the catalogues of Moon Harbour, Be As One, Defected and now the latter’s sub-imprint DFTD with this release. ‘Constitution EP’ employs the energetic tactics increasingly associated with the German’s work and the title track is an avid demonstration by layering a groovy hook, soulful lyrics and looped wailing vocals

Sable Sheep is the relatively new musical incarnation of a German artist with years of experience.
It was his releases with Be As One Imprint and being part of the Moon Harbour booking agency that put Tillman on the radar of Loco Dice, who signed him to the Desolat roaster.

Heavily influenced by metal music (Tillman is the frontman and singer in a metal band),he might be a rare thing in the electronic world but his straight and groove driven productions are forever ramping up acclaim with Desolat releasing his stellar Vagabond From Hell EP just this past year. 

What's most remarkable is how a character with such an unknown background managed to emerge from the shadows in late 2011 and then has been snapped up by three ground-breaking modern day labels and is enjoying an ever increasing fan base all around the world.
