EDLX 035EP

The second part of Sawlin & Subjected's Foreign Awake picks up the pace with three more "Textures" halfway between part one's ethereal wanderings and the pair's deeper Vault Series offerings. "Texture 1.1" and "Texture 1.2" wrap typical Vault tropes with acid-washed melodies and grainy distorted pads, turning two rusty, hydraulic workouts into weirder and warmer dancefloor reliefs. "Texture 5" concludes with more yin and yang experiments, pooling Foreign Awake's gentler, dream-like sentiments together with punishing bass, splices of hats and mechanical modulations that keep the reverie in check. Housed in a die-cut sleeve.

EDLX 033LTD-EP
|
Packaged in a special multicolored art sleeve. Forged in the pitch-black recesses of underground Berlin, Sawlin and 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, spacey homage than we've yet heard from the pair. Swapping their usual gung-ho floor artillery for swirling, atmospheric vistas, subtle tones and cavernous empty spaces, Foreign Awake Part 1 sees Sawlin and Subjected paint chilling, post-apocalypse landscapes in three parts. Deep, dark and dangerously hypnotic, this is Sawlin and Subjected at their most compelling.
