⌨️ Sarah de Warren - What U Like EP out on Black Hole Recordings
Following four singles released throughout the first half of 2026, Sarah de Warren now brings them together on her debut six-track collection, ‘What U Like EP’. Featuring two brand new tracks, ‘Angels’ and ‘Goddess’, the EP captures the different corners of her evolving club sound.
Angels is a hypnotic tech-trance track, built around driving percussion and an uplifting melodic payoff. At its centre is Sarah's vocal, exploring themes of release, transcendence and finding clarity through chaos. The repeated refrain, "I hear the angels call my name," gives the track a spiritual, transcending edge without losing its peak-time focus.
Goddess takes a darker melodic techno approach, pairing tribal-inspired rhythms and rolling percussion. A choral chant-like vocal hook carries the breakdown, centering on strength, self-belief and renewal, before the track returns with driving 303s and a harder final section.
The ‘What U Need EP’ is available now through all good streaming and sales platforms.

SUMMARY REVIEW
Sarah de Warren’s ‘What U Like EP’ on Black Hole Recordings is a masterclass in polished, high-impact electronic music production, gathering the four singles released earlier in 2026 and complementing them with two brand-new tracks, ‘Angels’ and ‘Goddess.’ The EP opens with a sense of clarity and cohesion that immediately sets it apart. The melodic hooks and harmonics flow effortlessly through each track, with a striking balance between vocal-driven elements and instrumental peaks. Every layer feels deliberately placed, creating a lush soundscape that’s both accessible and deeply immersive.
From a technical perspective, the sonic engineering and production quality are pristine, with every frequency controlled and articulated. The mixdown allows each element to breathe, while the mastering pushes the energy to club-ready levels without ever sounding over-compressed. The use of effects and spatial design is handled with care, building environments that feel both intimate in headphones and massive on the dancefloor. Tracks like ‘Angels’ excel in emotional resonance, with Sarah’s vocals soaring against shimmering pads and trance-infused leads, while ‘Goddess’ leans into darker tones, driven by tribal rhythms and rolling low-end energy.
The arrangement and build dynamics demonstrate a keen understanding of modern club flow. Each track evolves naturally, rewarding attentive listening while maintaining relentless dancefloor utility. Transitions, risers, breaks, and drops are sculpted to maximize energy flow and set momentum. Cue points and loop potential are intuitive, and the intro and outro sections provide seamless mixability for DJs, making the EP highly functional in live sets. The crowd reaction potential is palpable; these tracks are engineered for emotional peaks and collective release.
Creativity and artistic identity shine through in the way Sarah merges tech-trance, melodic techno, and vocal-driven electronica. Her lyrics and performances strike a deeply personal chord, reinforcing the thematic arcs of transcendence, strength, and renewal. The emotional impact is unmistakable, and the catchiness ensures high replay value across platforms. The EP’s arrangement also aligns perfectly with streaming algorithmic preferences, offering instantly recognizable hooks that make it highly shazamable and playlist-friendly. With its versatility across club, festival, and social media edits, ‘What U Like EP’ is pure gold—a meticulously designed body of work that resonates with both casual listeners and dedicated dance music enthusiasts..
