Representing NonPlus+, Exit and the highly influential Autonomic, UK-transplant ASC is no stranger to the progressive face of underground music. Club Muse first booked him in 2004 and has since had him back 3 times to bring our crowd something different. So naturally, when going over candidates to guest star in our Podcast Series, there was no doubt he would be among the first.

The Interesting Times collection is all about the vastness of today’s deeper sounds and Version.4 paints a great picture of our intent. Ethereal, moody and thought-provoking, ASC’s compilation takes us back to the experimental days of the ’90s where every track is laced with a haunting comfort and the direction of each mix remains unforeseen. We hope you enjoy this exclusive Media Contender pre-release and strongly suggest you check out ASC’s album forthcoming next month.
