The industrial techno that Blawan and Pariah pump out as Karenn has an intrinsically physical nature to it. That's a result of both the analogue equipment the duo use to make music and of the setting in which it seems destined to be played at. Whether gully warehouse raves really still exist on a widespread level is rather inconsequential, but it's impossible to avoid that venue as the ideal place to hear Karenn play music. There are no bathrooms, security or ventilation in Karenn's world and we're all the better for it. The drugs your taking are probably bunk, but [...]
Paula Temple – Colonized EP Paula Temple’s forthcoming Colonized EP marks the first time in the 30 year history of R&S Records that a female will have a release on the label. The perplexing British producer is back with a vengeance as she unleashes 3 tracks full of hard hiding and brutal techno. The choice of putting out this sort of EP builds off the industrial sound the label has been espousing with recent releases from MPIA3 and Blawan. Although Temple is no newcomer to [...]
The line-up for Pleasure Principle festival has been discussed and fawned over at great length - and with good reason too. Boasting sets from the likes of Legowelt, Omar-S, TNGHT, Blawan, Rustie, Space Dimension Controller, Joy Orbison and Robert Hood, the festival will also play host to Hessle Audio co-owner Ben UFO . As most of the artists involved have been giving away little promotional freebies in the build-up to the festival, so too has Ben UFO. This mix, co-presented by Pleasure Principle and Bleep.com , was originally [...]
Techno en house zijn de nieuwe Dubstep, sort of natuurlijk. Massaal verlaten de pioniers het 'zinkende' dubstep schip om zich te storten op andere muzieksoorten. Evolutie noemen ze dat en wij bij Eclectro zijn er blij mee. De vrijdagmiddagplaat van vandaag is geheel in lijn met die trend. Op één of andere manier heeft Blawan namelijk nog een beetje een dubstep zweem om zich heen terwijl hij de ene na de andere vuige technotrack uitbrengt. Deze remix mochten we horen in de fantastische Xlr8r podcast van Benjamin Damage en zorgt er voor dat we [...]

Chris Page - Corpus Delicti (Blawan remix) Forthcoming on Decoy Records. OOOOF!
Om to uger gæster en af Englands mest interessante, elektroniske navne Culture Box i København. Boddika a.k.a. Alex Green spiller lørdag den 23. februar . Samtidig udgiver han her i februar en compilation på sit eget pladeselskab NonPlus+ med talenter som Four Tet , Pearson Sound , Martyn og Kassem Mosse . Jeg giver min varme anbefaling plus tanker om jord, kød og rå musik med på vejen. Boddika & Joy Orbison – Mercy (Baddika’s VIP) [...]
Back in November, in the Pavilion, Girl Band were supporting Honningbarna on their debut in Cork. I'd seen Dublin four-piece Girl Band a few times before so thought I knew what to expect. But nothing prepared me for the seven minutes plus cover version they pulled out of nowhere. It [Read more]

We at Soundlogik can all agree that 2012 saw the renaissance of almost every genre of electronic music. From speed garage to trap music, EDM from every angle blessed our ears as new young producers jumped onto the boat to not only steer the vector of innovation, but to paint a new destination altogether for themselves. Here, SL takes a tour of our favorite techno tracks of 2012 - ones we felt strayed far enough from the established norm of techno music to incorporate elements from 80s electro, UK funky, and even Chicago house. [...]
Well this seemed like another logical pairing for Blawan , it's with none other than Birmingham's equally dark producer Surgeon . Their collaboration comes as a four track EP called Trade and is due out on Sheworks come February 5.
Première sortie de l'année sur le prestigieux label allemand Ostgut Ton , qui sort donc un EP de remixs du duo berlinois Barker & Baumecker . Une release qui se fait donc au format digital mais aussi en vinyl, comme d'habitude en somme, on sait tous qu'Ostgut Ton est un bon label et pense aux puristes ! On y retrouve donc No Body remixé par Machinedrum , Silo à la sauce Kobosil , Crows revisité par Blawan et enfin Schlang Bang revu et corrigé par Third Side [...]
![Trade – Sheworks 005 [Preview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4708463_lg.jpg)
The following previews are like lessons for inexperienced techno-listener. Blawan and Surgeon are one of british-finest techno acts. Both stick together as Trade and give us this four track preview (the bad thing is, there are too short). The EP will drop at Works The Long Nights, it's the label by Karenn and Surgeon is one of them. "Sheworks 0053 will be out on the 5th February and the second bad thing is, it will be [...]
The four-track EP out in Feb...
Blawan and Pariah have been slowly cracking up the releases on their "She Works The Long Nights" imprint since its arrival in late 2011 and the latest release, its fifth, sees Blawan join forces with the mighty Surgeon for a four-track EP under the Trade moniker. As you'd expect, it's quality all the way with both producers unique styles worming their way into the DNA of all the tracks with crunchy kicks and machine funk prevalent throughout. Check the previews below and grab this EP on its February [...]
Le 5 février Sheworks lâche du lourd dans tous les sens du terme. Que ce soit au niveau de l'artistique avec Trade , fruit de la collaboration entre le grand Surgeon et Blawan , ou de la qualité de l'EP avec une techno sournoise et puissante, on peut dire que cette cinquième sortie va faire du grabuge. Quel meilleur endroit que le label de Blawan et Pariah pour une telle sortie ? Un peu plus d'un an après la première release de Karenn, le label accueille ce quatre [...]
Trade , vu comme ca peut être que ca ne vous parle pas, par contre, si je vous dis que c'est le projet qui réunit Blawan et Surgeon , il y a fort à parier que ca devienne intéressant ! En effet, le producteur d'un des meilleurs morceaux techno de 2012 avec le titre « Why They Hide Dead Bodies Under My Garage » revient fort en ce début d'année avec cette collaboration réalisé avec un autre producteur anglais. L'EP respecte parfaitement le style des deux protagonistes, on y retrouve une techno stridente et sombre [...]
![Rimbaudian’s Top 10 from 2012 [Techno / House ]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4700455_lg.jpg)
2012 belonged to the British. Especially, two blokes who went through a rapid process of acknowledgement and respect around the world - Blawan and Pariah . This is not to shed less light on the others featured in this list, for 2012 offered such a curious mix of development of techno and house into different directions. Several artists belonging to a wide range of labels had releases which will undoubtedly transcend 2012 and echo on into the future. Some will already be known to most of those who read this, but there are a few [...]
