Pariah’s solo records skew hard and precise, with clipped drums, low-end pressure, and a cleaner-than-average UK techno finish. In club mode, he can lean into stripped pressure or pivot into more broken, sound-design-heavy territory; in Karenn, it gets rawer and more analogue. ([ra.co](https://ra.co/dj/pariah))

More about Pariah

Arthur Cayzer came up through the UK underground and put out key releases on R&S, while also working across Hessle Audio, Clone, and Hinge Finger. He’s best known outside his solo alias as one half of Karenn with Blawan, a duo that built its identity around live analogue hardware techno. ([ra.co](https://ra.co/dj/pariah))
