There are some elements in electronic music that make them timeless, elements that if melted togheter they can give an impressive result, to the mind and to the body. Sawlin - Ursprung is the first album of the career of Sawlin, after his debut in 2010 he evolved like a wonderful orchid, an orchid that never followed the flow of the other flowers around him, but found his own way to the music. Ursprung is the result of an interminable evolution in the mind of the artist, 8 elements that complete a circle builded on a very mysterious athmosphere, like a film that you never saw, but you always had in your head,
something more bigger then a memory, and something more deep then a picture. This 8 elements are the blueprint of the work that comes from the background of the artist, Deep raw imaginary pictures, mixed with oldschool wallpapers of a new wall based on an old concrete. Sawlin Mix the new to the old in a way that no-one can do, and probably no-one risked to do. This is the power of an artist that needs more attention and more time, you can feel at the first listening that there is something really big going on, but you need time to understand what he wanted to create, miticulous details that he wanted to paint, in a way that we cannot see them at first, but we find them quite impressive after. Sawlin present himslef in the most modern way he can, no compromises, he don't want to please you, he want to paint the future. in the most Artistic way possible. This is Sawlin - Ursprung LP on ARTS. More

Subterranean Techno Cuts with a strong Ancient Underground Texture. Sawlin reveals himself to us with something totally unique, just like the spirit and the soul of ARTS elite, but there is one more thing, we give you James Ruskin remix served on a silver platter. No more words needed here. More

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 'Weibhaupt' is made up of metal loops, punctured drums and rasping synths that sou nd 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 More

Sawlin's debut EP on Delsin off shoot Ann Aimee went down so well it only made sense to have him craft another. 'Eviment' is that EP, made up of three more deep and subterranean techno cuts that play with plenty of textures. Title track 'Eviment' is a tortured and paranoid offering that has a nagging vocal stretched out over splashy claps and a foreboding bottom end thud. It's vast and dark, spare and haunting where 'Kretze' is a bigger and bolder track. The analogue percussion and serrated lines all sound old and aged as they mark out a scraping, dystopian vision of a world well away from here. 'Sour Tear' has a more syncopated, techno-funk groove but is still padded out with plenty of dubby undercurrents. Sawlin's percussion sounds are wholly non standard, from clanking metal to twanging strings, everything sounds like a real world sound, which makes his music as arresting as anyone's, despite being made firmly for the techno back room.

Having lain out it's darkened techno vision with the epic and enthralling Inertia compilation over the last few months, Delsin's little sister, Ann Aimee, is back. Back with another bang, this time from mysterious Vault Series associate Sawlin who drops four cuts of grainy, scratchy sounds with his Techno Dumping EP. 'Boring Feels' is the deepest offering, gently pushing forward as sharp percussion sounds roll off the heavy and hunched over bottom end. 'Techno Dumping' is a punchier affair with trippy background atmospherics and a cantering bottom end that’s paranoid as hell, whilst 'Datamen Working' is a dubbed out destroyer with eerie shapes craft sounds and muffled vocals throughout. Closer 'Neid Auf Vacuum' lets in some shafts of melodic light to its clappy house heart, with rippling keys and train-track sounds fleshing out the backdrop: more finely crafted dance floor weapons you simply need in your collection.

With Code Is Law 003, label head Moerbeck plays with this artistic device with great success: “Movies For The Blind” takes direct aim at our imagination without allowing its intent to shine through to the surface. XVII from Leipzig’s Institut für Zukunft begins by laying an unshakable foundation for this short story with his eponymous ambient production. Delta X, Moerbeck and Eomac are telling the rest of this mysterious story with a Four-to-the-Floor-Beat More

For the second release on his young label, Code Is Law, Moerbeck has brought together four producers who all in different ways converge on the idea of “Wolves”. Eomac demonstrates his exquisite sense for harmonies, Sawf spirals into the convolutions of your brain with his vocal track on “System” and the newcomers Janzon and Hound Scales slip in their take on industrial sounds. Four tracks with emotional depth that create a powerful pressure on your chest that you can’t evade. … the wolves are coming. The wolf as mystical creature, his idealisation as an isolated, artist of survival or his transcendence beyond the pack as collective structure all lend themselves to highly diverse interpretation. A snarling wolf in comic book style is emblazoned on the cover, provided by friends and fellow artists Drik the Villain (Death Graff) and Cop 81 (Death Graff). Moerbeck selected the four track titles himself which each embodying a unique standpoint from which to view the contribute and their own ways of seeing. It has turned out well for the label owner to unite these different artists, for they blend harmoniously into the over-arching theme of the release. Eomac, also half of the duo Lakker next to his solo project, demonstrates anew his equisite sense for harmonies and lays atop the dry drumming in “Myth of Origins” a melodie that contributes to the track’s pathos, without seeming overdone. For Stuttgart’s Janzon this is his very first release. His track “Run with the Pack” picks up the tempo and unleashes its force right out of the loop. Just like with the other tracks on this realease and with those on codeislaw001: this is techno for listening, with the greatest value placed on emotional depths and harmonies, all the while maintaining dance floor functionality. Sawf pumps in an endless loop and the Athenian drapes “System” over his droney modulations like a mantra. Hound Scales brings in industiral-esque sounds on “Scent of Flesh”. The Brooklyn producer manages to create a track that generates an unsettling atmosphere, the exact origin of which remains concealed to the listener. You can only sense it … the wolves are coming.
