    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Few artists move as fluidly between club culture, sound research and practice as Sarah Wreath. With over two decades spent collecting electronic music and a DJ practice, her relationship with sound is the result of long, patient craftsmanship - rooted in vinyl, deep listening, and an intuitive understanding of atmosphere and flow. Sarah’s work resists fixed categories. Her sets and productions unfold as immersive journeys, navigating a wide spectrum of tempos and textures, from ambient and tribal rhythms to techno infused with a distinctly psychedelic charge. Regardless of form, her music is guided by a sensitivity to frequency, space, and the body’s response to sound. Through live sets, sound baths, and curated gatherings, she consistently explores sound as a connective force - capable of fostering introspection and collective experience. After dedicating her time to studying sound engineering, in 2024 Sarah released her debut LP Integration on the renowned label The Bunker New York, underscoring her commitment to immersive rhythm and sonic exploration. This path led to her collaboration on Sandwell District’s album End Beginnings, placing her within the current vanguard of experimental techno while continuing to explore sound as a tool for connection and transformation.
    Their RA profile lists Sandwell District and The Bunker New York.
