BIO:
Ascion is the musical project of Pasquale Ascione, an Italian from Naples, currently based in Berlin. What makes Ascion’s music to stand out from the contemporary techno context, is its immediacy and intensity delivered in a genuine and open-hearted manner. Pasquale maintains the subtle tension in his tracks. There are constant upsurges of energy and unrest in these acidic formations calming down just to reappear with even stronger punch. The tracks sometimes build up to the intensity of hardcore or echoes the golden age of rave as well as contemporaneous monolith Berlin tech-vibes.

Even though the majority of its output bursts with utmost vigor of the heated-up climaxes of warehouse raves, these is also a place for the moments of icy lushness manifested on the darker sci-fi’ish release “The Cybernetic Drama”, more downtempo of “Public Head” EP both released on his 3TH Records or profound and drifting tunes of “Channel #9” released on Deep Sound Channel. Pasquale’s various musical guises are nicely manifested in his sole full-length “Joy Dexon Club” on his Repitch Recordings, where airy and vivid techno compositions are infused with electrified pulses and traces classic IDM nostalgia hinting at legendary Warp output of the 90’s. Despite these references, Ascion’s tracks are best described neither by retro of futurist discourses, but rather a sprawling and overwhelming moment of the now, this hypnotic physicality still experienced in underground raves. Pasquale nicely sums it all up in the interview for Self-Titled magazine: “My music is characterized by a certain energetic atmosphere and distortion, regardless the genre. I like Power for the right mind-body-journey”.

His curatorial activity as label manager, visual artist and creative behind Repitch Recordings, 3TH Records and Cosmo Rhythmatic showcases the vast musical taste of Pasquale and in a way reflects his own sonic endeavours. Whether alone or together with his colleagues (D. Carbone and Shapednoise), Pasquale’s adventurous approach and true underground attitude are treasures in the scene.

Gabriella Vergilov makes her return to Northern Parallels following her remix for DJ Hyperactive’s "Mixed Emotions" release. 

The EP’s title track ‘Don’t Be A Stranger’ is both foreboding and provocative, the opening feels like you’re entering a forbidden space where the few there are all privy to the same secret, in a nod to all the low ceiling basement clubs we only partially remember. The kick is fat and tight, claps are used with precision, and the flirtatious and alluring lyrics coax you in, and don’t let go.

So Cool So High is a classic slow builder, centered around a warm, wide kick and compact hat. The rest of the arrangement shimmers and dances over the top, progressing hypnotically toward a bridge that almost makes the room float as everything becomes lighter and your limbs hang in the air. Just as you reach inner peace, the track takes a psychedelic dip and you’re momentarily jolted from your trance, ready to be lulled back to a state of carefree, closed-lid swaying

Hiroko Yamamura adds her rendition of ‘So Cool So High’ with tight and snappy drums that sit under an acidic synth lead that fits where it needs to while leaving enough space left in the mix. The fast tempo sets a frenetic tone, creating a pulsating sense of anticipation. Gabriella’s ethereal vocals punctuate the track in all the right places, infusing an airy texture on an otherwise dark backdrop.

Jason Patrick & Mike Derer’s remix of ‘Don’t Be A Stranger’ make professional use of effects over simple chords, in a proper nod to the 90’s Tresor / Basic Channel. The drums hit hard but aren’t the center of the track, it’s that rare example where each sound sits just where it should in the mix, and together they are the center along with Vergilov’s vocals over the top.

A solid end to a great EP, ‘In The Jungle’ immediately pulls you into its orbit and wastes no time with the build up to peak time energy. Unpredictable and mercurial as the title would suggest, the senses become hyper attuned to every twist and turn. With a spooky and eerie overlay to an otherwise playful beat, this is a track for the big room in the dark club.
