Dutch live performer and producer Pascal Terstappen, better known as Applescal, recently unveiled his first full length studio album, A Slave’s Commitment.  The debut album was released on August 3rd by the esteemed German dance label Traum Schallplatten.

“A Slave’s Commitment” is an exciting arrangement of Applescal’s musical diversity, featuring a variety of arti techno, intelligent dance music, breakbeat, and ambient. 

Laurent Garnier, impressed by Applescal’s debut said: “Very VERY good album. Very cinematic at some points, very musical, raw, organic with a couple of dance-floor strong numbers…… this is very GOOD!”

At the tender age of 21 Applescal is making quite a name for himself in the international scene, and is gaining support from industry icons such as Pete Tong, Sasha, and Digweed.  His talent also drew the attention of  Hernan Cattaneo; he and Martin Garcia remixed Applescal’s track, “Describe the Doc” for Hernan’s latest Renaissance Master Series compilation.

Traum headman Riley Reinhold, thrilled with the budding superstar’s creations said, “We were attracted by the approach of releasing a full long player by a very young talent person who has more to say than a dozen 12-inches could actually carry.”

A number of other respected artist have also released albums and tracks for Traum such as Extrawelt, Minilogue, Fairmont, Dominik Eulberg, and Nathan Fake.

“A Slave’s Commitment” is currently available worldwide at www.kompakt.fm/releases.
