ASC

Cosmic drum & bass voyager ASC once again proves that his sound is like no other, topping up his now likely uncountable backlog of time-dilatory journeys with a fresh four-tracker, ‘Moving Through Dreams’. Indeed, for those in the know, the boundary between outer space and inner unconscious astrals can be blurred; it’s clear ASC is clued in in this regard, with this hat-trick-plus-one of both rollers and breaks frenzies showing off an understanding of the format than only seasoned somn-journalists can handle. On the dreamier end of the spectrum, there’s ‘Things Left Unsaid’, a wordless foray into the latent parapraxes that only real dream work can consciously upturn; and on the wilder end of things, there’s ‘Contrast’, which apposes, in stark *contrast* – the industrial scrape of a techstep break with the depth-scouring swells of nebulaic pads n’ basses.
