After how well-received Time Heals All was, I already knew I was going to write a follow-up.  I had in mind that I would build upon the themes and ideas of the previous album and try to expand upon them slightly, while trying to retain everything that made Time Heals All so special.  Truth Be Told is 9 short stories based around love, depression, fantasy and my ever on-going fixation with science fiction.  I hope you find this album as rich and rewarding as the experience I had making it.

ASC 'Imagine The Future' - The Mix

ASC [ Auxiliary, NonPlus+ , Exit ] U.S.

Growing up in different areas of England, on a steady diet of Motown, Techno & the blossoming UK Hardcore scene, his productions manage to encompass such a wide range of these influences. Starting out DJ’ing with a bunch of like- minded friends on pirate radio stations while still in school, ASC soon found himself getting interested in how the tracks he was playing were made. This led to an investment in a modest studio setup, which proved to be a defining point in James’ life.

An initial batch of tracks were written between 1997-1999, and eventually a 7 track demo appeared, of which 6 were signed to West Midlands based Nu Directions, and the remaining track was signed to LTJ Bukem’s well known Good Looking Records. Around about the same time, the offer came to sign to Good Looking exclusively, but James felt this wasn't the right move for him at the time, so after a handful of successful releases on these labels and a few others, he started his own label, Covert Operations, which went on to put out a total of 30 vinyl releases & 8 CD’s between 2000 & 2009.

After receiving much praise for his intricately detailed and well thought out productions, ASC amassed a serious back catalogue of releases on some of the most forward thinking labels out there, such as 720 Degrees, Offshore, and Paradox’s Outsider label.

2010 saw the release of 'Nothing Is Certain', the ground breaking LP which received critical acclaim from many of the top music magazine, blogs and sites. This marked a culmination of the 'new' ASC sound that had started to form steadily over the last few years. Gone were the old jungle breaks, replaced by a more cross-over friendly IDM style sound. This was music that reached far outside of the drum & bass circles that ASC had been confined to and it did so with great success.

Auxiliary is ASC's new label and where he focuses the majority of his underground releases these days. Outside of that, James has been busy working with Hollywood music companies such as Liquid Cinema, releasing a library of custom tracks designed specifically for film, adverts and TV. Add to this a love for ambient and techno production and it's easy to see why he is rated so highly by his peers and fans, as he is able to turn his hand to most sounds with ease.

Grey Area Remixed

ASC - Horo Vision Podcast 07

Music at it´s core enables us to drift throughout different landscapes constructed out of waveforms, like a UFO exploring the inner workings of the cosmos. Some artists have such a diverse array of work that their musical expeditions are considerably more complex, and tell a tale of many different bizarre and extraordinary planets. James Clements, also known as ASC, is such an artist. With a back catalogue of work that stretches 20 years and a variety of genres, it is safe to say he has established himself firmly within the music community. Through heading a number of his own labels such as Grey Area and Auxiliary, he has successfully explored the relationship between ambient, techno, and drum and bass inspired material like few artists have before. James is also well known for his work with the endlessly dubby Silent Season imprint, and has recently released records on ARTS and the new Horo label to much acclaim as well. For this edition of UNRUSH we catch up with him to see what musical paths he has been following recently, and find out what has lead him in these enticing new directions.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter LXXVI

Mysteries of the Deep LXXVI - ASC | A MYRIAD OF SILHOUETTES

** Podcast #51 – ASC (aka James Clements) **

James Clements, otherwise known as ASC is the man behind On the 5th Day podcast #51 and this, 5th Day friends, is something really really special!

If you’re familiar with ASC then simply seeing the name will most likely get your heart racing, as you’ll have a fairly good idea of what’s in store. Here is a madly talented artist who perfectly personifies On the 5th Day – with an undeniable talent for capturing and communicating feeling through his music, injecting a multitude of heart and soul into an everlasting stream of consistently beautiful tracks across ambient, techno and beyond for near on 20 years. Yeh, that pretty much does it for us!

Producing since 1997, with his earlier musical undertakings focused on drum’n’bass (for which he was a prolific producer for over a decade), ASC’s sound took a more ambient and experimental direction in the late 2000s, at which point he took a strong following of dedicated, open-minded admirers of the Clements originality with him, all hungry to see what would follow. What was to follow was some of the most original and impactful music to circulate the electronic world, melding together ASC’s earlier cross-genre musical influences as well as his ongoing inspirations, the sci-fi world included.

The launch of ASC’s Auxiliary label in 2010, intended as a blue print for quality deep electronic music (soon after growing a few sub-labels) went onto become a pioneering platform for his sound, with Sam KDC bought on board to help bring the boundary pushing vision of the label to life. Today, the imprint does everything it says on the tin - providing an abundance of quality deep vibes to lock you in, with its latest release being a collection of sequences programmed, performed and recorded live by the man himself.

If ambient is your thing, then ASC is 100% your man! Naturally drawn towards emotional, atmospheric sounds, ASC’s outputs in this field – including 7 stunning releases on the renowned Silent Season label – are scintillating and alluring, so much so that some of this music led him to work on both film and video game scores.

The musical journey ASC has crafted for us here, largely formed of brand new, unheard material, is the perfect trip showcasing the heavier side of his sound, whilst still encompassing the more emotional, atmospheric techno he's known for. This is another super special addition to the stream and one we’ll wholeheartedly treasure for a long time to come. Thank you ASC!

On The 5th Day Podcast #051 - ASC

I’ve got a mix, and yes, another mix for you, and really, I spoil you, don’t you think? There’re all these albums to enjoy and then I go ahead and get these artists to select their favorites for you, to pave a journey through their mind with all these sounds and all this music. James Clements, producing under his ASC moniker, has recently jumped to the forefront of my favorite composers when it comes to atmospheric, drifting, and dark space music (because you know, if space had music, that’s what it would sound like, right?). And at the heart of this selection are a few of his very own ambient meditations, sonic reflections, and spatial retreat. Join us for an unforgettable departure with no particular arrival in time…

#SlamRadio - 349 - ASC

There's nothing quite like a trip down memory lane, especially if it means we get to re-live one of our absolute favourite On the 5th Day gatherings.

Go back in time to July 21st 2018... following a good few months of excited anticipation, we finally welcomed the hugely talented, boundary pushing electronic music virtuoso, ASC (James Clements) to Corsica Studios, and heck was it immense!

The night left a beautiful imprint on our hearts and minds. The love and appreciation in the room for what was ASC's only European gig of that trip was cosmic, and the energy on the dance floor pure magic from the start to finish.

We couldn't help but dig through the archives to retrieve his hybrid set from the night and we've no doubts that settling into it will give you as much happiness as it did us.

Big love and thanks to ASC, and to all of you who were a part of it. Absolutely one for the books!
