Review: It's fair to say that this release has been a labour of love. Five years in the making, label owner Emmanuel has chosen a collection of tracks from his dream team of techno producers. This means that ASC's breathy ambience "Stasis" sits beside deep, at times acid -soaked pulsing rhythms from Boston 168, Unbalance and Forward Strategy Group as well as peak-time rollers from emerging artists like Cleric and industrial bangers courtesy of scene veterans like Dustin Zahn. While the inclusion of producers such as Subjected and the fast rising I Hate Models is sure to put increased focus on this compilation, its real, lasting value are the more cerebral contributions such as Emmanuel's own "Bridge of Quietness".
Review: This is the first ambient release from James Clements aka ASC on Auxiliary since 2011's collaborative album with Sam KDC entitled Decayed Society. As with the majority of Clements' recent work, this release continues the theme of his fascination with space. The term title refers to dwarf planets and asteroids that lay beyond Neptune and are usually found in the Kuiper Belt. With that being said, you can guess that this album is seriously deep space ambient. A total of eight tracks spanning 73, which will take you to the deepest regions of our solar system. One of the most instrumental figures behind the seminal Autonomic sound in the late noughties continues to impress us with his studio wizardry.
