WAKE UP SLEEP

Wake Up Sleep (formerly known as Taser or Sleepinpatterns), producer, composer and performer from the outskirts of Sintra, Portugal, founder of the label/collective Slow Habits.

There is already a wide variety of instrumental music published by the producer on the internet as Taser, since 2010 it is possible to acknowledge a large number of releases including two edited albums, ‘Alma Livre’ (2015) and ‘Entropia’ (2016).

By the end of 2016, the artist finds himself diving into new realms of creativity, as he kept improving his musical approaches further, combining now concepts and themes accompanied with a visual language of its own, that’s when ‘Levity’ is released, the last single published with the alias Taser, marking a new journey to the producer. That’s when he starts releasing music under the name ‘Sleepinpatterns’, a second phase that underlines a sensibility for introspective, meditative and a close glimpse to a trance state sound.

You can feel the complexity of ‘Sleepinpatterns’ world and yet, he decides to enhance both spiritual and physical realms in his craft, transforming the way you think simplicity works. The artist releases two albums ‘Blu Box’ (2018) and ‘Atomic Universe’ (2019) through Vinyl Digital, here it is possible to listen and visualize a change in his production approaches where he merges his looping skills with progression techniques while turning his music to a non linear basis, filled with downtempo schemes and a broken beat feeling where the percussion is now more ‘off the grid’ than it used to be.

In the mid 2019, when finishing up the album ‘Atomic Universe’, he founds himself inspired by the idea of merging his artist name to a more cohesive identification of self, meaning that it was being hard to him to identify with ‘Sleepinpatterns’ alias on a long term run.

When producing and editing the album ‘Wake Up Sleep’ (released on 2018 as ‘Sleepinpatterns’), the idea came up and the alias ‘Wake Up Sleep’ was kept on the his mind until the end of 2019. During the production and editing process of ‘Atomic Universe’ a track by the name ‘wake up sleep’ comes up and the artist uses that as manifest of change that should’ve place at that time.

‘Wake Up Sleep’ full length album was re-edited by the end of 2019 on Slow Habits, an album with 21 tracks filled with a sensitive minimalistic approach but yet fulfilled with specific rhythmic, melodic and harmonic elements that gives us space to breath while submerging in a deep wave pulse, the beats gain an accurate texture, you can easily find yourself sleeping or waking up to it.
By the beginning of 2020 the producer releases ‘What’s New’, a beat tape of 9 tracks with different flavours preparing our ears for future releases.

Wake Up Sleep is also involved in two musical projects, Chakuth (with Lily Kashunattsu) and Strolinflows (with LostSoul) that have released music on the label as well.
