Shield by salute
‘Shield’, salute highly anticipated new EP is out 5th May, via Technicolour.
The Austrian producer has created a dynamic back catalogue, moving through RnB, dubstep, dance, hip-hop, even jazz and gospel. The release of the ‘CONDITION’ trilogy saw salute move closer towards chopped up electronics and garage-style samples.
Their most recent singles ‘Sternhimmel’ and ‘Joy’ provided a slice of euphoric dance music, garnering acclaim from Mixmag, DJ Mag, Notion, BBC Radio 1 and more. Recently they’ve built an impressive catalogue of live sets, including Boiler Room Melbourne (where they debuted ‘Wait For It’), Lost Village, Secret Garden Party, The Warehouse Project, Parklife, fabric and Field Day, as well as their first tour across the US and Australia. Named as one of the DJs who defined 2022 by Mixmag, salute also remixed the likes of DJ Seinfeld and Kaytranada.
They kicked off 2023 after a sold-out show at Village Underground with new single ‘Wait For It’, the first release to mark new signing to label Ninja Tune’s imprint Technicolour. Clara Amfo of BBC Radio 1 made it the Hottest Record, and the track has already amassed over 18K Shazams.
