Paul Sawyer & Madison Palmer - Shelter in The Dark - Frequenza

Paul Sawyer & Madison Palmer Deliver High-Octane Melodic Techno with “Shelter in the Dark” on Frequenza – Out June 27

As the cinematic world gears up for the release of the highly anticipated F1 movie this June, UK veteran Paul Sawyer and rising talent Madison Palmer channel that same adrenaline-fueled spirit into their latest collaboration, "Shelter in the Dark", a gripping journey through progressive and melodic techno, releasing on Frequenza Records on June 27.

Inspired by the raw speed, tension, and emotional drive of Formula 1 racing, "Shelter in the Dark" captures the essence of motion in its purest form — dark, propulsive rhythms meet ethereal synth lines, cinematic atmospheres, and an uplifting vocal breakdown that brings a moment of emotional release before launching back into high gear. Whether on the dancefloor or in your headphones, this is music built to move you.

Paul Sawyer is a resident on BBC Radio 1, a respected label owner, and an active race car driver competing in the UK’s Mini Challenge series — a life literally lived at full speed. With decades of experience behind the decks and in the studio, and releases on storied imprints like Perfecto, Pure Progressive, and Black Hole Recordings, his refined production continues to evolve with energy and precision.

Madison Palmer brings a fresh, emotionally rich touch to the release. Known for her textured sound design and cinematic approach to melodic techno, she’s quickly making a name for herself not only as a producer, but as a DJ who has recently shared the stage with global names such as Paul Van Dyk, Lilly Palmer, Gioli & Assia, and Nora En Pure.

"Shelter in the Dark" is more than a track — it’s a cinematic experience shaped by high-speed inspiration, crafted with club energy, and destined for peak-time moments.

Out June 27 on Frequenza.
