Shed is the moniker of renowned techno artist René Pawlowitz. Born in Frankfurt, Pawlowitz first became interested in electronic music in the early 90s. By 2002, he had moved to Berlin and, with the support of iconic Berlin record store Hard Wax, founded his own label Soloaction Records. On his own label he released his fist EP as Shed, Red Planet Express in 2004. 2008 saw the release of the first album ‘Shedding The Past’ which went on to be named album of the year by Resident Advisor. Since then René has cemented himself as an evergreen producer with releases on a number of household labels including Ostgut Ton and Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons imprint to name a few, adding to his impressive work under alias including Head High and The Higher. Whether it be through track selection in his DJs sets or the raw power of his live show, Pawlowitz manages to merge rough dance floor skeletons with detailed melodies, harmonic structures and airy arrangements for an evocative performance that isn’t easily forgotten.
