Don Kashew returns to Subject To Restrictions Discs with the album 'Bellows'. A haunting, melodic, maudlin affair, as one would expect from the Zurich-based producer, with a variety of 'breathing' instruments as a fulcrum, that challenges any physicality.

The compositions draw from the pool of New Age music and neo-folk of the 80s and 90s. But 'Bellows' stretches and looks at the future, deliberately blurring lines that were supposedly anchored. So, Don Kashew has begun a new phase in his musical expression; quivering, but grounded and interwoven in a rich arras of synth work and overlapping woodwind sounds.

Don Kashew is a sonic Dilletant, who is digging, compiling and composing music. Inspired by the DJ and sampling culture, his work focuses on recontextualising music to dissolve boundaries and create new connections between different eras, regions and genres. His musical style is raw, hypnotic and yearning at the same time.
