Shadow Wulf Records presents Misfit EP featuring original tracks from Anina Owly and Thomas Klipps. Misfit EP features two original tracks “Misfit” and “Lower Back” along with three remixes from Paul Neary and Shadow Wulf label-bosses Crescendoll and Drew Blyther.
The German producing partners are back at it with their second collaborative EP marking their 10th and 11th tracks together. These two are a great partnership, in music and in life. Both have their own distinct sounds in the dark minimal community that lends to their collaborative style. Anina is known for doing all her own vocals which lends to distinct originality in the tracks. “Lower Back” was created after a trip to Iceland with Thomas´ family where his father complained of back pain saying in German, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, my lower back is killing me.” This sparked Anina’s inspiration. The words sounded so entertaining in English, Anina began singing these words over and over the whole trip. Most of Anina’s vocals originate with stories like this.

Thomas Klipps, born and raised on the German coast, always had a passion for electronic music. Inspired by his music minded friends, it was only a matter of time before he would find his way to the turntables. In 2014 he started DJing and quickly developed his own style, the main characteristics being driving-minimal techno, with unique synths and dark-hypnotic influences. After numerous bookings in northern Germany, Thomas decided to move to Freiburg in the south of Germany, where he quickly became part of the scene, receiving bookings in highly respected clubs like Hans-Bunte Areal and Drifters Club.
Mixing music wasn’t enough for Thomas, so to express his creativity Thomas began to produce his own music. He celebrated his first release in August 2018 for the label Heimatliebe Records. Afterwards he released tracks on labels like Phobos, Music4Aliens, Subios, Soupherb,Mothr and some others. Several of these tracks have been featured in the Beatport Minimal / Deep Tech Charts.
