The name "Sabota" comes from the infamous area in Nelson BC, where kids congregate late at night to smoke weed, hook up and watch the sun come up. Both Max Ulis and Robbie Slade (of Humans) both have (if somewhat indirect) roots in the area, making it a fitting concept for their collaboration. With the release of "Next Time" on Discobelle., Sabota immediately caught the attention of journalists and fans alike, and before any kind of formal release they have played SXSW, Sled Island in Calgary, Vancouver International Jazz Festival with Nosaj Thing, and Symbiosis Gathering. The two full-time music collaborators have been making ethereal goodness. The bumbling synths and beats harmonize together filling your ears with a whimsical wonderment.
Vital Sales Points:
This is a brand new collaboration between 2 very talented, and separately quite successful artists. Robbie Slade, is one half of Humans, and Max Ulis has been a lynch pin in the West Coast Electronic Music scene for over a decade. After establishing themselves as prolific artists on other projects, with Sabota, their individual sounds (which range from techno, bass, and house to vocal heavy pop music) are being synthesized in a highly nuanced and beautiful way.
