Now available: Comit / An Ocean Of Thoughts

After the success of 2019’s Remote Viewing, I was keen to see James Clements going with his newly established Comit alias, so it was a pleasant surprise when he turned around a very quick successor to his debut album. It may have taken a few years to come to life (as most vinyl releases do) but I’m excited to present another beautiful slice of IDM and early 00’s electronica-inspired music from James, titled An Ocean Of Thoughts.

I’m also pleased to see Nick Brzostowski back on artwork duties. As our first artist we worked with on an ASIP vinyl and a life-long friend, it was only a matter of time before Nick returned with his beautiful, intricate textures, which we first witnessed with Europe, and Markus Guentner’s Theia.

Preorder: James Bernard / Unreleased Works (1994-1999) Volumes 1&2

Today we announced a Preorder for a very special collection of Unreleased Works by James Bernard.

Sat in the vaults for over 25 years, these tracks were only previously available to a select few people via CDr, and have become a cherished collection for those in the know. So I am very proud and excited to present the music once again in a more realized format, including 20 tracks as a digital album, and two themed 2LP’s.

Markus Guentner - Overtone (David's Song) [For Charity]

This upcoming Bandcamp Day, March 5th, we have released a brand-new 9-minute track from ASIP faithful, Markus Guentner.

What began as a joke between two friends, ended with Markus Guentner creating a new track entirely from just one instrument all for a good cause.

A normal gift wasn't on the cards for David Westlake's (of Sneaker Pimps) Birthday and instead, he challenged Markus' aversion of the Saxophone to see if he could make a track using this instrument as the only source. The result is, Overtone (David's Song), made of nothing but 100% Saxophone. Whether you can recognize it or not, stylistically it's up there with Markus' best music to date and proof that a limited palette can sometimes bring out the most creative output. The track is only available here on Bandcamp (for Bandcamp Day) to help raise funds and support for Choose Love helprefugees.org - a charity nominated by David Westlake.

We also have some other MG goodies to help bump up the support if you’re quick…

Buy / download on Bandcamp and thank you in advance for all your generosity.

Preorder: One Million Eyes / Brama

Many of you will know I have a fondness for the Balearics; sunsets and lazy mediterranean summers. It was a big part of my musical upbringing and a style of music I still very much enjoy. It's also a musical aspect that the label has yet to explore, so I'm excited to finally present a record that goes some way to being inspired by, or stylistically attached to the times spent watching that golden glow against the horizon.

Today we announce the debut album from One Million Eyes. Previously together as Tempelhof, working with Gigi Masin on albums such as Tsuki (2016), and Hoshi (2014), Luciano and Paolo's new alias represents a progression in musical style and freedom.

Whilst it's easy to describe this album as 'Balearic', it goes much further than your usual stereotype. I feel both light and dark emotions throughout the record and Brama is just their first statement detailing the depth of emotion found amongst their arsenal as One Million Eyes.

Now available: Illuvia / Iridescence Of Clouds

I'm very excited to introduce our first record of 2021 and a return to the label for Ludvig Cimbrelius, under his Illuvia alias.

This record was born upon first hearing Ludvig's self-titled Illuvia album and in particular, the last track 'Illuvia (Exaltation)'. It's an absolutely immense, atmospheric drum'n bass tune, and left me yearning for more. So once I had picked my jaw up off the floor, I asked Ludvig to complete an entire record in this style for ASIP.

Not only has the result exceeded any expectations, but the journey has also been extremely gratifying, with Ludvig allowing me close to the progression of the album over the years (?!) and the rare chance for us to meet in person when he visited LA last summer, discussing the record in depth.

'Iridescence Of Clouds' evokes memories of falling in love with the classic, atmospheric side of drum'n bass whilst providing a completely new take on the genre with ambient at its heart.
