MOS 025EP
|
M>O>S Recordings kick off 2019 with Better Dead Than Alien, a new EP from ASOK. The Liverpool, UK artist releases his first on the label since 2015. The title track is a twitchy and futuristic bit of house with glistening and distorted textures, "Find A Way: has a rubbery bassline and old school rave breaks, and "Many Locations" is a bumping bit of deep Detroit house with a real sense of serenity. Closer "Baal" ends in the heavens, with celestial ambiance, spinning hi-hats, and broken beats all sounding delicate yet dynamic as rasping bass ties everything together.

MOSDEEP 024EP
|
Liverpool producer Stu Robinson aka Asok follows EPs on M>O>S Recordings (Poltergeist, MOSDEEP 018EP, 2014) and his own Scenery label with the Future Wars EP. The beautiful, melancholic "Future Wars" features its doleful pads, paddy drums, and generous sense of space. Then comes the pricklier "Final Battle," with its spinning hi-hats, daubs of acid, and lingering pads. "Interaction" is a cleaner, clearer track focused on a squelchy lead synth-line. It's nicely mechanical and perfectly offsets the swirling soft-focus pads. "Abandoned Places" is a slo-jack track with skittish, broken-sounding hits and drums, more flecks of acid, and vivid, rusted textures.

MOSDEEP 018EP
|
Stu Robinson aka ASOK is the man behind house and techno label Scenery Records. Opening up his Poltergeist EP is "Project Poltergeist," a fizzing brew of incessant hi-hats and prominent acid lines that duck and dive between nicely roughshod claps. "Smash Dimensions" places lots of focus on a lively acid wiggle, but this time dealing in a more serene sense of mood that loosely chucks open and closed hi-hats into a grainy arrangement that gently jacks throughout. "Walker" takes us on a cerebral voyage through melodic droplets and "Captain Blood" pairs a dirty, gnarly bass line with crisp cowbell tinkles and more nicely frayed percussion.
