2020 ASIP Label Showcase (Mixed Edition + CD)

ASIP2020 4 Panel CD Sleeve Mockup 08.png

After our successful 2019 edition, our annual label retrospective has now evolved in tradition to include a mixed edition available on CD (and of course digital).

Featuring one track from each of our 2020 releases, the digital download is now available alongside the CD, with the latter featuring a few additional tracks that aren’t available individually.

The artwork is always a personal choice for this compilation - and reflects my year in some way or another. This time, it features screen-grabs from a film that not only visually felt relevant, but captured the notion of everyone being inside - wishing to be somewhere else. I won’t say which film it was incase I get into issues, but lets just say it’s a heart-warming film about a man who did everything he could to escape reality and get in contact with others.

A big thank you to all of the artists for a brilliant year, and to you, for listening and supporting our music.

We also have a limited set of download cards available to purchase with this release - a perfect gift to introduce someone to the label maybe!

Available on Bandcamp.

 
 

Video: Gadi Sassoon & Luigi Ziliani - MACROCOSMO

 

We are excited to present a new film by Gadi Sassoon and the visual artist for his new record, Luigi Ziliani.

Titled MACROCOSMO, the film features music from Gadi’s album Multiverse (available here) and stunning visuals by artist Luigi Ziliani that debuted as part of their TEDxLakeComo presentation late last year.

Music:
Gadi Sassoon - Moto Perpetuo
Gadi Sassoon - Life On A Tidally Locked Planet
Listen to Multiverse, here.

 

Now available: Gadi Sassoon / Multiverse

 

Today we released the debut album from Gadi Sassoon, titled Multiverse.

Ever since I plugged this one in, strapped on my headphones and effectively continued to dismantle every neuron in my brain using the plethora of musical tactics Gadi employs in this album, I have been excited to present it to the world.

Look out for a podcast where we aim to go into detail on the story behind the album so you can start to grasp the enormity of the effort, team and people behind the music on this one. but until then, have a listen on Bandcamp or your preferred service, and snap up the dark matter 2LP.

Pre-order: Gadi Sassoon / Multiverse

Today we announced the debut album from Gadi Sassoon, titled Multiverse.

I still remember the moment I first sat back and absorbed this demo. I had little idea how it was made or the story behind it (I put the music first) but it blew my socks off. Crazy, unexpected sounds, twist and turns, rooted in a deep sense of atmosphere. It wasn’t until I got back to Gadi and we met up in LA that I started to understand the massive amount of detail, history and effort that went into this album. It’s one-of-a-kind, and for some, maybe a little startling, but for many, it will undoubtedly go down as a future classic in its ambition and innovation. Call it experimental in function, ambient in form and soundtrack in nature - it’s a beast best absorbed in either one of Gadi’s performances, or loud on a great system at home.

Watch the video preview featuring the track, ‘Life on a Tidally Locked Planet’ below.

Pre-order now available.

 

ASIP - Cabin In The Woods

Just finished up a lovely session with the Modern Therapy crew who hosted a massive 24+hr Halloween takeover on Twitch also featuring Mr C, Bunny from Rabbit in the Moon, Jon Charnis, Tara Brooks + more. I prepared a 2hr trip into the woods - dark, weird, trippy and storied to bring in Sunday morning, scare the beats off, and raise the… living.

It features a few upcoming ASIP releases too for good measure. Halloween may be over but everyone likes a trip to the dark side every now and then.
