Tectonic Recordings

Shed, a German techno DJ and producer, was born in 1975 in Frankfurt (Oder), GDR. He is the founder of Berlin-based label Soloaction Records, established in 2004. Shed's unique sound has made him one of the most respected figures in the electronic music scene.
With influences ranging from Claro Intelecto to Vril, Shed has created a distinctive style that blends deep chords with atmospheric textures. His productions are characterized by their hypnotic rhythms and intricate sound design.
Known for his captivating live performances, Shed has gained a loyal following worldwide. His collaborations with other artists such as efdemin and Deepchord have further solidified his reputation as an innovator within the genre.

René Pawlowitz presents himself in many different forms; whether it’s as Head High, EQD, Wax, WK7, The Traveller or more recently as Hoover - he consistently, and without any fuss or hype - produces some of the most effective, quality techno you can find on the planet. The Shed alias is usually reserved for his best work.

With this in mind, it really is a special event to announce this amazing new EP from Shed on Tectonic, showcasing 3 distinctive and highly effective techno cuts.

Try takes a broken-beat techno rhythm for it’s spine - reminiscent a little of the 2008/9 dubstep / techno crossover period. Tension is set with dissonant elements pulsing around swooping subs until we are saved by the heroic pads that ease in, building ever upwards to a lush finale. Close your eyes and be transported back to the rave.

Box is a darker, more percussive affair - claustrophobic and industrial. 130bpm 4/4 distorted kicks set the stage as frantic drum machine hats and claps crash about heavily reverb’ed ghostly samples.

Lastly we come to Sweep, a hypnotic bleepy roller with a bass heavy presence. As the riff loops up and over, drums build and a dissonant synth part creeps in. The not-quite 4/4 kick drives you ever forward with a gentle stumble as rattling hi hats flair about over head. Great finish to a great EP.
