Aggborough - Slag Heap

Aggborough and Ashworth

 Slag Heap EP

Released 19th November 2015 via No Real Value

No Real Value is a new concept-based record label commissioning electronic music artists to create club music from a series of field recordings.

The label's ethos is to explore the value of sound when associated with a particular time, event or location through the context of underground electronic music. The inaugural release, Slag Heap comes as a collaborative 12” between London-based producer and live act Aggborough and rising talent Ashworth. Together, the pair present an enticing and focused vision of mystic techno.

The set of field recordings for this first release were gathered by artists William Richard Green and Morgan O’Donovan, as they documented the Slag Heaps in the slate mines of Snowdonia, as part of an exhibition they presented at the tank.tv space in 2014. The recordings were initially played in the gallery space in their unprocessed format, and the artwork is made up of photographs from the Slag Heap exhibition.

Aggborough and Ashworth took the raw audio back to their music studios and each made a track. The A-side, from Aggborough, is a trip down the murky rabbit hole, fusing techno and euphoric, unpredictable synths with elegance and intensity. Ashworth unearthed different potential in the source material, creating an impressive slab of acid-flecked techno which throbs with percussive energy. The track moves you physically and intuitively, with charred atmosphere only making it more hypnotic.

Borrowing depth and energy from the purest of sources to create immersive techno soundscapes, “Slag Heap” is a truly magnetic listen that never loses its collective coherence.

[Premiere] Aggborough - The Rhubarb Triangle

The Rhubarb Triangle is an area in Yorkshire, England, that is considered the forced rhubarb centre of the world, and it was there where William Green, aka @aggborough, captured the set of various field recordings which now forms the backbone of @no-real-value's latest release. For those not familiar with No Real Value, it is a label whose 12" outputs all include pieces of music by Aggborough himself, as well as other leftfield underground electronic music producers, based around a particularly unique set of field recording samplings sourced by Aggborough.

@dj-ford-foster's 'Ramblers (Set On Fire)' is part of the label's third outing, "The Rhubarb Triangle" EP, now available via the label's official website: https://norealvalue.bandcamp.com/album/the-rhubarb-triangle

Premiere: Ford Foster 'Ramblers (Set On Fire)' - No Real Value

William Green aka @aggborough recently featured on The Rhubarb Triangle, a various release on his own imprint No Real Value which bases each track released on field recordings sourced by William himself. Continuing this signature style, Aggborough presents the EP Stone Circle. The title track is built around a recording of a contact microphone strapped to a dancing flag pole in Iceland. With this, the percussion is organic and raw. The hypnotic nature of Stone Circle bleeds into Not Tripping which started as a bootleg of It’s Love (Tripping) by Goldtrix, but evolved into it’s own creature completely. Deeply rooted and pulsing, Saving Bacon is a workout of varied percussion, carefully placed atmospheres and frisky chords. Talos Principle is left to show a more aggressive side to Aggborough, featuring more noise oriented drums while also keeping the atmospheres intact.
