Press Info:
After collaborating with Subjected for his debut release in 2018, Andrejko now lands on the German’s other acclaimed hard techno label, Vault Series, with a thrilling three track solo EP.

Andrejko is part of the Berlin new breed becoming renowned for his dark and uncompromising closing sets at the legendary Stattbad on Sunday mornings and has gone on to get bookings further afield as a result. Both as a DJ and producer, his stripped down, hyperdriven sound is perfectly abrasive yet comes with exactly the right amount of detail to make it irresistibly hypnotic and escapist.

Opener ‘Eating’ is bleak, futurist, Terminator techno with unrelenting drums that hit hard each and every time. Subtle rising synths add to the tension while rugged loops keep you locked to the floor.

The excellent ‘From’ is less harsh and hard but just as perfectly distilled, with warmer rubber kicks rolling forwards at a real pace as eerie synth motifs survey a dystopian urban landscape. Closer ‘Knives’ shows another side again to this innovative artist as it pairs sci-fi pads with supple techno rhythms. Taking you on a trip to the outer edges of our galaxy, it has a rising sense of tension that is utterly enthralling.

Press Info:
VAULT SERIES’ 25th release sees label owner Subjected collaborate with Andrejko to release four haunting cuts entitled ‘Vault Series 25.0’.

Founded by Subjected in 2010, VAULT SERIES’ first 25 releases have seen Subjected give a platform to artists such as Sawlin, Mørbeck and his own music focusing on the raw, industrial side of techno with heavy distortion and experimental edged soundscapes. Over the past ten years VAULT SERIES’ consistent musical output of timeless releases made the Berlin label become a key player of the techno community worldwide. ‘VAULT SERIES 25.0’ sees the label owner Subjected collaborate with Andrejko again following their ‘Format’ EP together on Subjected Systems last year.

‘Pitchfork’ begins proceedings with heavy, distorted kicks scattered around eerie modulations and winding elements before ‘Pain Management’ follows with sinister lead synths, growling resonations and brutal textures throughout.

On the flip, ‘On’ deploys shimmering percussion, hypnotic oscillations and churning murmurs keeping the atmosphere dark yet intriguing. ‘Medication’ then rounds off the EP with pacey, drum progression and fizzing synths fusing with machine-like sound design and energetic grooves.

Press Info:
There is a dichotomy within the very definition of the word Vault…on the one hand, a vaulted ceiling is typical in many sacred places of worship, forming an arch that is perfect for a choir to sing their praises to a higher power. On the other hand, one must go into a deep underground chamber or vault in order to unearth rare treasures only found through deliberate exploration.

Strathy’s new release embodies this split personality with four tracks that climb to the roof tops with euphoric synths, only to plunge down into turbulent catacombs. ‘’Space Nation’’ begins with a static radio transmission coiled around a cluster of drums ready for lift off. ‘’Duruti March’’ takes us down a granular path full of dense texture and grit and doesn’t let go. ‘’Arggg’’ comes barreling through at a breakneck pace and just as you settle into the raucous, galloping groove, a radiant choir chimes in as a counterbalance to the chaos. ‘’Modern Slave’’ lets us breath and gives room for a slightly twisted vocal to meander around a broken beat including the hint of hopeful yet melancholic synths and a bag of symbols seemingly being dragged across a concrete floor.

Strathy weaves these elements together in a multifaceted ep that is sure to challenge the body and mind and leave ecstatic dancers wanting to dig deeper into the Vault.
