quintessentials 97: andy ash - silent planet ep
out on 12"/digital very late october 2025

Andy Ash is a long time contributor to the sound of Quintessentials, with his album „All the colours“ being the highlight of his work. Until now! The Liverpudlian shows superb diversity on his new EP called „Silent Planet“. The opener, „Patch 2“ is a stripped down masterpiece of Dub Techno and a perfect club tool. „Hross“ can be called Acid House, and you know we love that! The B-side shows more of a relaxed vibe with the beautiful string-laded „Franco alley“ and the smooth low BPM track „Yellow“. This silent planet has something to say and shows great variety of styles and Andy’s skills as a producer - and yes, all AA releases have his own artwork!
