'RNDR 5' released on Gash Trax Vol. 1
A new compilation album of electronic music released by Gash Collective and Art for Blind Records includes new ‘immersive minimalist’ track Rndr 5.
About the album:
GASH Trax Vol.1 : Irish fem focused collective, GASH presents a pick n mix selection of some of the many varied voices in Irish music at present, blurring the lines between experimental dance and contemporary electronic music.
The A side features a deep dive into drums with iced out percs and shape shifting textures from ELLLL (Glacial Industries, Paralaxe Editions, FSL). The drum work continues with dance focused, howling rhythms from hard drum icon SYN (Flood, Even the Strong). These tracks are then juxtaposed with the multi-layered, all engulfing soundscapes of acclaimed composer Irene Buckley.
The B side kicks off with overdriven, commanding techno flavours of Caskré, followed by breathy pads, booming subs and precise percussion of Sculptress. Gadget and the Cloud features next, presenting a playful and woozy world with her signature lo-fi, off kilter production style. Last but not least, multimedia composer Anna Murray rounds the records off with immersive, minimalist rumblings of a sly groove in effect.
