Devils Walk

It is safe to say that any electronic music enthusiast will have come across Berlin artist Sascha Ring at some point. Whether it be via the releases of his first three albums under Apparat, through the music of electronic supergroup Moderat, through his collaborations with other music greats such as Ellen Allien, or at one of his epic live club or festival performances, Sascha's restless presence within the field of electronic music is unavoidable and elementary to the evolution of the genre. The past year has seen Sascha's creative focus return once again to Apparat and he will release his highly anticipated fourth album, The Devil's Walk through Mute on September 23. The album was conceived during a trip to Mexico in early 2010, where Sascha enlisted the talents of Joshua Eustis (of Telefon Tel Aviv) and Fredo Noguerira to help him write the music in a makeshift studio in the small town of Sayulita. After experiencing a lull in creative productivity induced by his return to Europe, it was upon meeting Patrick Nackt Christensen (formerly of electro-goth outfit Warren Suicide,) that Sascha became re-inspired. With the Nackt on board as a co-producer they re-worked the Mexican material taking it in a new and more esoteric direction, arriving at the majestic finished product that is The Devil's Walk.
