CW/A are producers Thomas Feriero and Francesco Leali present Ringleader EP. The duo return with their first original productions since their debut full length, 2015's critically acclaimed Words Unspoken, Acts Undone (PAR 006CD/LP). Inspired by global trends towards Orwellian mass surveillance and cyber espionage, Ringleader aims to be an audible interpretation of big data, ubiquitous connections and the acceptance of corporate and government spying. Grim and mechanical by nature, the six tracks - named after leaked code names of government tools used to watch on citizens - work as a soundtrack to the destruction of privacy. Artwork by Atilla Fidan.

The passing of time... what has been spoken is now unspoken. All that has been has been undone. CW/A present their remarkable debut album, Words Unspoken, Acts Undone. Since their inception CW/A have forged a path through the murky world of electronic music with a number of releases on Vakant, M_REC, and their own Parachute Records. Previously accomplished musicians in their own right, Thomas Feriero (Avatism) and Francesco Leali (Clockwork) joined forces in 2013 to begin a live project that took the act of performance into the club. Shying away from typical setups so prevalent nowadays, CW/A bring to the club a level of live performance that they've now translated into their first full-length. Weighing in at 11 tracks, the album demonstrates the duo's musical heritage of early Warp-style bass but also UK jungle and Downwards-influenced dub techno. This isn't an album that looks back with any misty-eyed nostalgia, though; it respectfully brings its '90s influences straight into 2015, seamlessly weaving from genre to genre with an up-to-date element to the production. If you're expecting an album of rave breaks or straight-up 4/4, you won't find it here, but if you're ready to leave behind what you've heard already, Words Unspoken, Acts Undone is for you.

Three road-tested live extracts alongside remixes from Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy and Ilian Tape co-founder Dario Zenker. CW/A is the live collaboration between long-time friends and studio partners Thomas (Avatism) and Francesco (Clockwork). Originally a live amalgamation of their solo material, it eventually evolved into a broader, more dynamic, improvisation-centric performance focused on experimenting around the outskirts of techno, jungle, and electronica. Day of Riddance offers a glimpse of both Parachute and C/WA's vision: a barrier-trashing wall of sound that goes from live settings into the studio and back.
