ASC presents some of his most minimal, brooding, and spaced-out productions on the 'TMA-12 EP. The title track sets the flex with flickering steppers percussion synched to half-heard subs and ghostly abandoned space station ambience while 'Aqualoop' sinks back into supremely spacious ambience, all droning reese bass and misty, fleeting melodies. Flipside 'Esper' rides a [...]

ASC's extensive back catalogue is filled to the brim with top quality electronica, drum n bass and lovely ambient meanderings. He continues to add to it at a rapid pace however and the latest to appear is this chunk of crunchy 170 BPM funk. Crystal clear percussion rattles around a body of raw sub bass and spacey atmospherics to fill up this brilliant 123 that opens ASC's account nicely for 2012. Released 16th of January through Samurai Music .

I recently went back and listened to this LP for the first time in years. I wrote it between 2002 and 2006, and I think some of it still holds up now. Some of it I don't care for too much, but overall as an LP, it's pretty strong. Anyway, this was released on my now defunct Covert Operations label back in 2006. I thought I'd throw it up for free download for those that missed it first time around. http://theasc.blogspot.com/201 1/11/research-and-development. html deepgoa.blogspot.com underground music [...]

Another from the forthcoming vinyl-only release series on Samuri Records. This time by ASC. This is headspace music. It is much more dubstep/dnb than the Tokyo Prose release featured yesterday. The track to go for is the first one - No Secrets - which balances the astringency of its approach with a lovely synth melody. Zenith loses out in such company, despite the bass that's brought to bear. Blurb: ASC - 'No Secrets' / 'Zenith' Samurai Horo - HORO002: After the success of the last 2 [...]

I have to say I thought Paul missed a "trick" last week as he gorged himself on doughnuts. What with it being Halloween and all. We, thankfully still have some teeth wreckers left in the shape of toffee apples, guaranteed to remove those loose fillings. Jacques Greene pops up this week with a freebie called "Motivation". Its the type of quality production we have come to expect from the Canadian. Expect more from the man once he finishes his mammoth tour in the coming months. [...]

ASC has been busy of late with his new Auxiliary imprint and it's Symbol offshoot releasing some top quality electronica for those who prefer their beats on the deeper side. He's taken a wee break from those labels though to release this cracking EP for BLKND . The three tracks across the release span the BPM range but all retain the space and atmosphere that he's become known for. The title track is the one for me though, its a 118BPM grinder with eerie pads crawling over grungy synth work [...]

It's 2011. There are a multitude of options. Digital, analogue and even hybrids of both, but still there remains this belief that if you are not mixing records the old fashioned way - i.e 2 pieces of vinyl, 2 turntables, a mixer and nothing else - then you are cheating. http://theasc.blogspot.com/201 1/08/technology-and-art-of-dji ng.html deepgoa.blogspot.com underground music guide _________ © dg , 2011
BURIAL/FOUR TET/TOM YORKE A side: Ego B side: Mirror [ TEXT010 - 2011 ] Se ne parlava da un po' di tempo ed alla fine è uscita fuori questa prima edizione da 300 copie. Il sold out è stato praticamente immediato mentre, a quanto mi risulta, la ristampa è ancora reperibile. In passato vi erano già state altre collaborazioni tra i tre pezzi grossi in questione ma mai tutti insieme. Burial e Four Tet avevano già collaborato nel [...]

ASC has a reputation for top quality electronica and while a lot of his work hovers around the 170 BPM mark, he's also responsible for a huge amount of quality downtempo and IDM work (also under his Intex Systems alias). The folk at Liquid Cinema signed him up for an album of soundtrack work and the result was "Music For Pictures". The album's 33 pieces range from full on drones to more percussion driven material and it's a beautiful piece of work and perfect Sunday fare. Grab a couple of tracks [...]
