about

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.

Sawlin & Subjected – Textures – by EDLX’s in-house designer Jan Willem van den Ban Consistent with their music and profile, the artwork for the Sawlin & Subjected releases had to be similarly dark and enigmatic. Revealing little of what’s inside, the cover gives only the slightest hint, but just enough to trigger curiosity.

Dark and underground aren’t necessarily synonymous with black, so the insides reveal a world rich of sound and colour, step by step.

Varied techno trip from the master himself. Love every track on this release but all for a different time and place in your session. Sensory Deprivation and Misphonia are more banging and driving, while the rest of the tracks are moving more into the deep, dark, hypno realms. Testbeeld

Techno to get you moving; driving kicks and synth patterns with sparkling hats makes the first 5 tracks of this release an unstoppable techno train for peak-time pleasure. Closer 'Mixtion' seems to give you a minute to reset and roam into the more deep and hypnotic atmospheres. Testbeeld
