Get Back Uphttps://soundcloud.com/ausmusic/will_saul_visions_2444_d-master_mmmWill Saul is a key figure in UK dance music. Approaching his twentieth anniversary as a DJ, producer and label founder, Saul has helped break the career of key artists such as Leon Vynehall, Midland and Dusky via his Aus Music label, has himself played some of the worlds finest nightclubs and contributed to !K7s storied DJ Kicks mix series, which he also curates.Finally returning to the production fold himself with his first full-length album in thirteen years, Open Too Close is a condensed trip through the influences, discovery and sense of history that have helped shape his career and drive a forward-facing, unblinking passion for new music. The records concept reflects Wills enormous skill and knowledge as a DJ, and as its title suggests, "represents what I play in a club if an 8 hour set was condensed into 10 tracks.Having held residencies and made regular appearances at some of the worlds finest clubs including The End and Fabric in London, Panorama Bar in Berlin, Trouw in Amsterdam and Robert Johnson in Offenbach, Saul is uniquely qualified but this refreshingly straightforward approach. Eschewing the lingering, almost cliched expectations for a dance artist to create an album that sounds good at home, as well as in the club, Open Too Close instead draws on the timeless futurism at the heart of the music that drew Saul into electronic music culture. Simply put, futuristic, melancholic sci-fi soundscapes meets stripped back raw sample driven house music, all executed with the precision and panache of an artist who truly understands how to move a dancefloor.
