NEWS: Sawlin “Niedertracht” Ep | Label: Ann Aimee
+++BUY+++
It's now almost two years since German producer Sawlin made his debut on Ann Aimee, but now
he is back for a third EP on the Delsin sister label. Entitled 'Niedertracht', it features four more
tracks of searing techno in truly uncompromising Sawlin style.
'Kontraktion' goes first with heavy metallic hits, lots of industrial machinery found sounds and
thumping kick drums. It's lumpy, mechanical and stiff stuff that is slow and purposeful. The
surface of 'Padjam' is then covered in squirming, scratchy little effects as syncopated drums
swing deep down below. Eventually the thing gets fleshed out with some malfunctioning
melodies and slurred vocal stabs yet still it sounds like no other techno out there.
'Niedertracht' takes up the b1 with a spangled techno track that has gurgling synths and fizzing drills all encased in a
ravey arrangement of horns and windy howls. The broken sounding 'Weißhaupt' is made up of metal loops,
punctured drums and rasping synths that sound like factories in melt down. This is truly inventive electronic music
that’s laced with a very real and unmistakable sense of industrialism, and proves Sawlin is one of the day's most
exciting producers. [...]
