Label boss Will Saul is back in action once again with his latest project “Pedal Power EP”.

With anticipation for the release of his DJ-Kicks mix in June growing, he lets these two tracks loose in order to ease some of that tension. 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 12s 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.
