Sandwell District to release debut album 'Feed-Forward'

Sandwell District have announced details for their first artist album, Feed-Forward, slated for release this month.

As a label and as an artist collective, Sandwell District have become a favorite among techno connoisseurs over the past few years, both for their epic DJ sets and purist-leaning 12-inches. Feed-Forward features production work from all three of the outfit's core artists: Dave Sumner, AKA Function, Karl O'Conner, AKA Regis and Juan Mendez, AKA Silent Servant, with contributions from Female. Its nine tracks follow the same blueprint as much of the group's work to date, melding steely techno beats with strings, field recordings and abstract semi-hooks. The album consists entirely of unreleased material and will see release on CD and triple-vinyl. Rather than committing to a specific release date, Sumner says the album will simply "appear" at some point this month.

01. Immolare (First)
02. Immolare (Main)
03. Immolare (Final)
04. Grey Cut Out
05. Hunting Lodge
06. Falling the Same Way

The album will be released at some point this month and will be available from the usual outlets. Keeping tabs on Sandwell District isn't always that easy but adding Function on Myspace

Ahead of Sandwell Districts fabric performance this Saturday, they've teamed up with Clash Music to release some music from one of their foremost producers, Female, with a remix by Regis.

It's dark and moody, with plenty of atmospherics. Synth patterns come and go throughout only adding to the tension, complimented with great percussion programming and a series of clicks and dial tone type sounds to increase the depth of the track. Can't wait to hear it on the monstrous sound system in fabric's room 2.

You can get tickets to Saturday's fabric event from the Resident Advisor Event Page. Line up also includes Cobblestone Jazz (Live), Thomas Brinkman (Live) and Craig Richards in room 1, Terry Francis and Luke Slater joining Function & Regis in room 2 and an Echocord Records Showcase with Kenneth Christiansen, Brendon Moeller (Live) (If he managed to get his flight out of JFK last night, waiting for word back on Twitter), Substance (Live) and Reseo. It's going to be a big night!
