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

Technorama records is very happy to bring you this superb second release by Sawlin (Vault Series, Ann Aimée) and an additional remix by MRSK from Sweden (Rush Hour, Skudge, Sushitech). After the succes of their first single 'Intolerance' Ep by Skat with remixes from Jonas Kopp & Norman Nodge, Technorama continue on the right track with this brand new release. After his brilliant 'Techno Dumping' Ep on Ann Aimée (Delsin's sub label) with support from the likes of Sven Väth, Marcel Dettmann, Jonas Kopp and Ame/Dixon, Sawlin makes his début on Technorama with a sublime darker track. 'Restless' is a masterpiece of energetic dark techno, nearly eight minutes of composition which can’t help but remind us of the first productions of Green Velvet ,).
After his excellent remix of Anthony ‘shake’ Shakir and his record ‘Black Keith/Close To Me’ on Rush Hour, along with his more recent collaborations on Skudge Records or Sushitech, MRSK signs here for us a masterful hard house remix which contrasts perfectly with the original mix. Enjoy !.

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.

Mancunians AnD have lead the way when it comes to the industrial techno revolution of recent times and now serve up three such tracks on Ann Aimee. Coming after plenty of great work on their own eponymous imprint. The titular track 'Ard Core Krew' kicks things off with squealing machines, huge dump piston sounds, metallic synths and brutalist kick drums. It?s a hostile world of sound in which it is easy to get disorientated, and ?Changed My View? is much the same, with every single element sounding raw, frazzled and under plenty of strain. It?s a fuzzy, dirty track with lots of detailed activity as well as huge stomping kick drums, which pin it all together. 'Free At Last' is the most propulsive and forward moving; surging as it does on a grimy brew of splintered hi hats, incessant kick drums and low fizzing frequencies. Aggressive techno never sounded so fresh! More

Delsin’s sister label Ann Aimee (pronounce it however you like) has unearthed another techno talent here in the form of Yan Cook. The Ukrainian has collaborated with a number of people in the past, as well as working under aliases like Eigenes Rezept, but is now focusing on his own style fully: heavy dancefloor techno with haunting atmospheres. Listen to his (vinyl only) 2x2 EP and you’ll get the picture immediately: ‘Rhomb’ is as heavy and subterranean as they come. Apocalyptic sounding searchlight synths pan over the whole arrangement as microbial sounds busy them selves in the foreground. Vast, echoing claps seem to hang in the air and you can imagine someone like Dettmann dropping this in Berghain to a rapturous reception. ‘2x2’ bangs the box even harder – the kicks hammer the same spot over and over rather than rolling onwards, where the gradual forward motion instead comes from the rattling, melting synth chords that flood the arrangement each bar. This one’s aggressive and raw, splintered and forceful: Yan Cook’s grip on the dancefloor, then, is a firm one to say the least.
