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 Devil’s Walk is the 4th Apparat album: having released his earlier records on cult electronics label Shitkatapult, where he worked for a number of years, this album is his first for Mute. And if his last one, 2007′s Walls, hinted at a move away from the heat of the dance floor, The Devil’s Walk , with its cool, contemplative dream-pop and bruise-tender Sigur Rós texture (“60% of chilling + 30% of working + 10% of smoking cigarettes”), makes that explicit.
