For the next entry in the Mesh mix series, we welcome Mesh artist Evan Gildersleeve, who brings an hour-long journey weaving together distorted textures, visceral rhythms, and fragmented melodies, unfolding a world that feels both intimate and expansive.

In Evan's own words, 'Having grown up listening to a lot of heavy, guitar based music, I’m often drawn to artists who channel a kind of unwieldy energy. I’ve also become increasingly fascinated by manipulations of the voice, something that appears in many forms across the hour. This mix is very much representative of the artists I admire whose music has had an undeniable impact on who I am creatively. It’s a selection of tracks that I often return to and continue to resonate deeply'.

linktr.ee/duncedog

Duncedog is an enigmatic SoundCloud artist and curator known for their eclectic taste and dedication to the platform’s underground music scenes. Operating as a SoundCloud tags archive project, Duncedog’s presence is felt through meticulously curated playlists that showcase a diverse range of genres, including phonk, drum & bass, hip-hop, and experimental electronic music. Their work reflects a deep passion for discovering and promoting lesser-known artists, with playlists like “2024,” “PHONK,” and “DRUM & BASS” serving as love letters to the SoundCloud community—crafted manually with care to highlight tracks from both emerging and established creators.

Beyond curation, Duncedog contributes original music, such as their track RÅÅJGNÅÅSÖBÅÅB (interlude) featured on the 2022 SCUMTAPES Halloween compilation The Many Faces of Filth III: Pantheon of Worldwide Ruin. This interlude showcases their experimental edge, blending raw, gritty sounds with an avant-garde sensibility. Duncedog’s approach emphasizes authenticity and community, fostering connections between artists, listeners, and the platform’s unique subcultures. Active across social platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, Duncedog remains a vital force in amplifying the raw, unfiltered spirit of SoundCloud’s creative ecosystem.

Mesh - the platform for exploring the intersection between music, art, and
science.

Founded by London-based artist and electronic producer Max Cooper, 
Mesh isn’t a typical record label, more an avenue to pursue ideas and 
collaborations with creative people who are pushing the boundaries of their
disciplines.

Evan Gildersleeve is emerging as a distinctive voice in electronic composition. His music explores the intersection between emotive storytelling and immersive sound design, often shining a light on challenging aspects of the human experience.

As a frequent collaborator, Evan has contributed towards projects from some of the most celebrated figures in modern music, including Jónsi of Sigur Rós and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson. 

His glimmering debut Mortal arrived in 2020 through London label Human Worth, offering a gentle meditation on solitude, the conflict of isolation and the transformative impact of nature on a fragile mind.

“Stunning” - Self-Titled

“Mesmerising” - Electronic Groove


“Deeply Evocative” - Aural Aggravation

Evan’s expansive compositions would go on to catch the ear of acclaimed electronic artist Max Cooper, who’d invite the composer to join his venerable Mesh imprint.

Wake arrives March 14th, marking Evan’s most introspective work to date. A deeply personal account, documenting a turbulent period of self-recovery and exploring the power of collective empathy.
