GASH COLLECTIVE - Gash Trax Vol. 1 - LP - Vinyl

The A side features a deep dive into drums with iced out percs and shape shifting textures from Ellll (Glacial Industries, Paralaxe Editions, FSL). The drum work continues with dance focused, howling rhythms from hard drum icon Syn (Even the Strong). These tracks are then juxtaposed with the multi-layered, all engulfing soundscapes of acclaimed composer Irene Buckley. The B side kicks off with overdriven, commanding techno flavours of Caskré, followed by breathy pads, booming subs and precise percussion of Sculptress. Gadget and the Cloud features next, presenting a playful and woozy world with her signature lo-fi, off kilter production style. Last but not least, multimedia composer Anna Murray rounds the records off with immersive, minimalist rumblings of a sly groove in effect.
