Straddling the boundaries of post-dubstep and techno, British-born producer and DJ James Shaw, aka Sigha, combined the basic drum elements of dubstep with the atmospheric sound of techno. Signing to Hotflush Recordings in 2009, Shaw released his first three singles that same year. In 2010, he set-up his own vinyl-only label, Our Circula Sound. The first release, Early Morning Lights, signaled a move in a more techno-focused direction. A flurry of releases on Hotflush, Blueprint, and Our Circula Sound rounded out the year. Early 2012 saw the release of the EP Abstractions I-IV; a mix of drone-inspired techno and atmospheric ambience, it would become a precursor to his debut album, Living with Ghosts, released at the end of 2012. ~ Richard Wilson
