Andy Ash – Silent Planet EP [QUINTESSE97]

hipodrome, , , , , Leave a comment

Andy Ash is a long time contributor to the sound of Quintessentials. The Liverpudlian shows superb diversity on his new EP called „Silent Planet“. The opener, „Patch 2“ is a stripped down masterpiece of Dub Techno and a perfect club tool. „Hross“ can be called Acid House, and you know we love that. The B-side shows more of a relaxed vibe with the beautiful string-laded „Franco alley“ and the smooth low BPM track „Yellow“. This silent planet has something to say and shows great variety of styles and Andy’s skills as a producer.

A new signing for Quintessentials: Life Recorder. The man from the south of France represents a very Detroit and Chicago inspired house sound, with deepness, melodies and groove. To complete the full french package, another hot producer adds the remix : Aleqs Notal.

Growing up in the deep south of Germany with multi ethnic friends and big interest in many different music genres of the world, Borrowed Identity built his wide knowledge in music. This variety in his musical taste is also the reason why he is working under different aliases producing a big variety of sound from ambient to house to experimental music and everything inbetween. Borrowed Identity debut EP on Quintessentials is another great example for his multistyle approach to music. You’ll find elements of house, disco, techno, ambient and more – always with an imminent love for music.

The second Deep Space Orchestra (Si Murray and Chris Barker) EP for Quintessentials is some raw and analogue business topped with the DSO funk. Wolf Music hot shot KRL adds some piano and old school power on his remix and we must admit we’re delighted.
