Video: One Million Eyes / Mustang

 

A new video for One Million Eyes’ ‘Mustang’, edited by Hary Yeoman who was also responsible for the full-length Quiet Places film. Here, trippy, mirrored visuals take the obvious title inspiration into new realms.

One Million Eyes / Brama is now available on 12” and digital.

 

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

 
ASIP035 Bandcamp DIGITAL Record MockUp.png

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.

ASIP - Label Mix for Diamondstein's Nightshift on NTS radio

 
NTSRADIO Mix.jpg

I was honored to be invited to compile a mix for Diamondstein’s regular NTS Radio show, Nightshift, which features music aligned to its aesthetic of: “Cold winds, empty streets, ambient techno and moody experimental music for night time noir moments.” Always a brilliant listen and a treasure trove of previous guests’ slots to check out.

Aired earlier this month, the mix is now uploaded to the NTS site for you to listen to again. I chose some more storied, dark pieces from the label to compile a little showcase, featuring six unreleased/upcoming ASIP tracks (not shown in the tracklist on the NTS site).

The ASIP mix is for the last hour, with Diamondstein for the first hour.

Big thank you to Diamondstein for the invite.
