Since dropping SickElixir on XL Recordings on 10 October 2025, Blawan has not stopped. He’s toured across the world, playing at the best clubs and festivals including Rewire, Primavera Sound, and Roskilde, made his US live debut with performances at Movement Festival in Detroit and Good Broom in New York, and along the way, he linked up with Skrillex to perform at CONTRA Festival at Berlin’s Kraftwerk and release a collaborative single “Thistle” with Randomer, and Brazilian artist MC Dricka.
Praise for Blawan
“sleek, muscular electronics” – CLASH
“an atmospheric, gritty track that pairs scuttling drums and a compressed, twisted vocal sample.” – Mixmag
“the record builds on his mischievous modular techno sound of recent years, while leaning back towards dance floor territory after the more experimental reaches of last year’s SickElixir LP” – The Quietus
