apaull February newsletter

After the success of 2025’s Homogeny album I’m getting ready to release my third album, Gunfactor. The 10 track LP, executive produced by Abe Duque and on my furnace room records label, will be released in April 2026.

“King Dome” is the second single from this album. My original techno mix (and shorter radio edit) are accompanied by a very danceable remix from Berlin’s Pyrame. 

The track “King Dome” is notionally about the competing narratives and infamies that are created during wars and conflict. Who does one believe? How do you use Occam’s razor to shave away through the noise to find the kernels of truth? Musically this techno track crackles with noise, driven by a pulsing, acid adjacent, bass line and solid kick combination and patched with a sweet melody that belies the darkness of the track. Vocals, almost spoken word, beseech mostly, and then plead: “Please, don’t shoot the ambulance”.

Berlin-based producer Pyrame—physicist turned poet of the dancefloor—brings wanderlust and cosmic energy (and driving techno) to his King Dome remix. Pyrame’s sound balances surreal heritage and underground grit, honed across acclaimed mixes and techno collaborations. From moody electronica to tribal slow techno, he keeps it indie, fearless.

In other news, I’m gearing up for some live performances in 2026, most notably (so far) opening for the “baron of techno” Dave Clarke in Brighton UK, on 15 May. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been starting to build this set. So far, the focus is on tracks from the Gunfactor album.
