International platform Illegal Alien Records welcomes USAW for their official debut on the imprint. Formed in 2021, the Berlin-based live duo has rapidly established itself at the core of the city’s scene, earning well-deserved recognition through a signature sound that seamlessly fuses raw dancefloor energy with deep, immersive melodic structures.

The project unfolds functional soundscapes tailored for the club, armed with hypnotic synth lines and precision-driven rhythms. Their approach seeks to create a unique experience without ever losing sight of techno‘s core purpose: moving the crowd. Through high-powered live sets, USAW continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with a distinct sonic identity.

CF Signals: Procombo – Evil Talisman [Illegal Alien Records]

Over recent years, the duo has built a formidable reputation with releases on heavyweight labels such as ARTS, Truncate, Clergy, and their self-titled imprint USAW, solidifying their standing within the contemporary techno landscape. Orbital arrives as another statement of force from the Berlin duo and a standout addition to the Illegal Alien Records catalog.

Titled Orbital, the EP gathers four meticulously crafted cuts that showcase the duo’s artistic vision. Built upon robust club architecture, the record delivers rich melodic synths, immersive atmospheres, and a solid groove that naturally draws the listener into an unbroken journey, building emotional tension while sustaining relentless momentum.

«Afterglow» serves as the opening piece to the Berlin duo’s sonic universe. Literally referring to the light remaining in the sky after sunset, the term metaphorically describes the lingering warmth felt after a profound experience; this exact evocative essence is translated into the track’s sound design, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Overall, Orbital by USAW demonstrates a refined balance between melodic storytelling and peak-time functionality, delivering a track collection engineered to engage both body and mind. The result is an EP that operates with equal intensity in intimate listening environments and in the peak-hour frenzy of a packed club.
