- The Vancouver duo's first album will come through Hybridity in January.
Max Ulis and Humans singer Robbie Slade have teamed up as Sabota.
The Vancouver artists' first collaboration hit at the beginning of the year in the form of "Next Time", which saw Slade singing over one of Ulis' chunky house beats. The latter is a longtime pillar of the Vancouver electronic scene, known for his role in the mid-2000s dubstep boom as well as a more recent move into house and techno. Slade, meanwhile, is vocalist for local synth pop band Humans, who released their first album last year.
After "Next Time" their partnership took off, and the two spent most of the year crafting their full-length, which is self-titled and will be released on Vancouver label Hybridity (also home to Humans) on January 27th. It's a ten-track affair that sees Ulis and Slade exploring the poppier sides of their personalities, and includes additional vocal spots from The Belle Game's Andrea Lo and local singer Chantelle Upshaw.
