Review:
Flood Tide Rising sees ASC returns to the Space Cadets label in style for a second release, coaxing the London label deeper into the drum & bass ether with three absorbing examples of his trademark futurism. Commencing with the title track, ASC sets a foreboding tone of droning electronic pulses and swirling ghostly voices trapped deep beneath. Alongside it "Outflow" is an example of ASC's talent for sonically exploring vast cavernous soundscapes, whilst the releases finishes with the fidgeting dystopian machine funk of "Dream of the Future".

Review:
Instra:mental's Nonplus imprint are set to unleash US based producer ASC's debut album, Nothing Is Certain next month but first deliver a three track taster of this highly anticipated LP. "Phobos" sets industrial noises and sparse, dramatic tones as its backdrop but entwines electronic grooves and micro samples over the top to create his unusual but wholly captivating sound. "Oort Cloud" drops out into some cosmic, downtempo atmospheres of weightless space before "Matter of Time" explores wind-like sounds and melodies, deep oceans of bass and his intriguing use of Oriental sounding percussion. Once listen to this will have you holding your breath for July's LP.

Review:
Amazingly, this is the ninth album from experimental D&B veteran ASC. Those who've followed his career to date should know what to expect; an atmospheric and all-enveloping sound that uses traditional D&B rhythms and structures sparingly, instead flipping between clandestine electronica, IDM and shuffling ambience (see the crackly opener "Spheres", which recalls his recent work with fellow experimentalist Sam KDC on the Decayed Society LP). It's a fusion that delivers real quality, from the late night '90s vibes of "Glass Wall", and guitar-laden Balearica of "Oneironaut", to the beatless beauty of "A Song For Hope", technological grooves of "Prometheus", and glitchy oddness of "Stay True".

Review:
Samurai, the hugely respected drum & bass label that under the watchful eye of DJ Presha brings the world the finest in deep, dark beats from beyond the 170+ realm. This time they've hit up ASC once more for his own mashed up brand of techno-infused drum & bass straight from his own cold, calculating mind. Close, creeping and stunningly hard, although "Polemic" is softened slightly by a swirling sci-fi synth, there's no mistaking its clinical edge. "Oracle" takes off-beats and creates a master work of atmospherics with them. Minimal and clean, it builds to a shuffling crescendo amidst the smallest of pad interference. Unnervingly good.

Review:
ASC's influential traces and sonic lingers loom large amid bass circles. Peddling both the minimal D&B and Autonomic sounds before they were even coined, his depth and abstract clarity lead very much from the front. Examples of this abound across the originals, from the skittish triplet breakbeats of "Karma" to the all-encompassing bass drone of the title track. And the remixes from Chrissy Murderbot, Kangding Ray and Mike Slott aren't far from shabby either. Seldom does an EP live up to its title so literally.

Review:
One of electronic music's most forward thinking minds drops two cerebral cuts of darkly spacious D&B on Autonomic. Following the release of a slew of fine singles and the stunning 2010 long player Nothing Is Certain, ASC's sonic aesthetic is now inexorably linked with the oft-discussed Autonomic sound. Fans have been drooling over the release of these two cuts for a hot minute now, with the languid drums, eerie synths and ethereal vocal snatches in "Reform" slightly edging the more robust tribal rhythms and sub bass of "Starkwood". Brooding stuff from start to finish.

Review:
Following on from his hugely impressive "Nothing Is Certain" LP on Non Plus last year which blended downtempo and ambient soundscapes with stripped back D&B, ASC marks his return with an outing on dBridge's Exit Records. Stuttering beats, crackling SFX and snapping snares feature on title track "Stutter" which rumbles along morosely, with velvety dark b-line beneath and eerie atmospherics in the minor key dancing delicately above. The accompanying "Leviathan" pairs heavier-than-thou drum kicks with a discernable dubstep aesthetic and hazy synths. Experimental and enticing stuff here from ASC that comes highly recommended.

Review:
ASC is one of techno music's more intriguing producers, if you can call him that. His releases, be it on Pushing Red, Perc Trax or his own Auxiliary labels regularly canvas a far flung range of electronic beat making and music production styles. For The Remix EP, ASC is reworked by three artists known to his label. Drum and bass duo Synth Sense apply a Terminator 2 lurch to their remake of "Time Is Now", while Auxiliary staple and sometimes collaborator with ASC, Sam KDC, lowers the BPM in his remix of "Metronomic", which is like falling down a darkly hued rabbit hole in slow motion. The third and final remix comes from another drum and basser Jason Leder, aka Method One. He mixes up "Reality Check" which is on a similar tip to Sam KDC's dreamy atmospherics, only less trippy and more melodic.
