"Style is The Answer" is the first single from Mash's forthcoming album for Glasgow Underground. Released as a limited (200 only), hand-stamped & spray-painted, 12". 

"Style is the answer to everything," booms the gravelled American drawl over Mash's bass-house groove. The Bukowski monologue continues, "To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art", and develops into one of the finest examples of spoken word house up there with Sagat's "Fuk Dat" or DJ Duke's "12 Minutes of Dreams". Early supporters include; Francois K, Seth Troxler, Agoria, Marc E, Round Table Knights, Pezzner, Tom Flynn and Untold. Radio support comes from Rob Da Bank, Andi Durrant & Mash himself. 

Mash (real name Martyn Henderson), broadcasts on Capital FM every Friday from 2am to 5am. His show is known for playing the best in underground house, bass & techno. Recent featured acts have included Disclosure, MK, Andrew Weatherall, Maya Jane Coles & Maceo Plex. He has released on labels such as Dirt Crew and Blue Black as well as on his own Tracktion and CompactDisco Dot Net labels. His single ‘Somebody’s Property’ (featured in i-F's classic mixed up in Dublin '06) has recently been re-released with new mixes from Sei A, Ooft!, Kevin McKay & Rob Etherson.

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
