Pedal Power
About
Up next for Aus is label head Will Saul. Following his vocal heavy collaboration album as CLOSE for !K7 last year this 12″ see’s Will venture back to the dance floor for some light relief. With anticipation for the release of his DJ-Kicks mix in June growing, he lets these two tracks loose to tide listeners over. The high-octane “Pedal Power", which also features in his DJ-Kicks mix, and the weighty but spacious “Valhalla". Both tracks were born out of a number of live jams on a small outboard setup with a laptop used only to record. A Jomox Xbase 999 drum machine triggering a Moog Minitaur for bass, all running through a number of highly tweak-able pedals and outboard fx units with a Roland Juno for pads. It was a refreshing low maintenance change for Will following the CLOSE album and there will be a few more 12″s of this ilk released over the coming months. This summer sees Will embark on an extensive world tour to promote his DJ Kicks album and look out for another CLOSE EP at the end of August which features 3 collaborative tracks with Second Storey (Houndstooth) and vocalist Kid A with an extra special remix from Seven Davis Junior
