“Raw, improvised techno.
Blawan and Pariah have been playing slamming, improvised techno together as Karenn for the better part of five years now. They’ve become one of techno’s most in-demand live acts and although they haven’t released original recordings since 2014, their back catalogue still turns heads. Both Englishmen caught the techno bug around 2011, feeding the tensile funk of their UK dance music heritage into a new palette of grinding gears and serrated textures. However, as both Arthur Cayzer and Jamie Roberts would admit, improvising from scratch with an imposing fleet of synths, drum machines and effects is no mean feat, especially when you’re playing for over 90 minutes. They’ve spent the intervening years stripping out the fat, trading sensory overload for a sleeker, stripped sound with greater shades of emotional subtlety.”
