ASEC [live] for DifferentSound Podcast #260.

This set was recorded live in RSO Berlin

ASEC is a Berlin-based artist and label project specializing in raw, hypnotic, movement-oriented electronic music. Though his roots trace back to Manchester's underground scene, he has masterfully redefined the interplay between building sonic tension and atmospheric release. His high-intensity tracks create irresistible momentum on the dance floor—a bold fusion of musical vision, tradition and innovation.

Central to ASEC's distinct identity is his modular live set—a storytelling journey that showcases his expansive musical vision. Through a blend of dark textures and idiosyncratic melodies, ASEC offers a live performance that goes beyond the conventional, as demonstrated in his Boiler Room debut last year.

A music technology innovator, ASEC has been instrumental in advancing the landscape of electronic music production, particularly through his leading contributions to Ableton Live. Far from a mere technical endeavor, this work has allowed him to push electronic music production and live performance into uncharted territories, manifesting a skill set and sound palette unparalleled in the techno landscape.

ASEC's recent releases include a full-length EP on Counterchange Recordings titled 'Trauma Bond,' and a vinyl debut on Ellen Allien’s BPitch. His discography also features exclusive releases on his own label, the most recent of which includes remixes from Kaiser (KEY Vinyl) and Inland (Ostgut Ton). ASEC's tracks have also been featured on household name labels such as Planet X and MORD.

“Group Dynamics’ is inspired by this kind of captivating energy you feel in a crowd—think sports fans, a packed dance floor, a mass of humans––people aren’t themselves in crowds. I was interested in capturing that invisible social group dynamic that makes many people move as one.” - ASEC

On the A-side of ASEC’s ‘Group Dynamics’ EP, dropping via his eponymous imprint this November and following up a series of releases supported by the likes of Rødhåd and Tommy Four Seven, as well as output on BPitch and MORD. The title track enters the fray with a mystifying energy, percussion clicking and shifting while cavernous synth hits echo across its evolving soundscape. ‘Scala Naturae’ then continues with rolling drums shot through with bleeps and squelch, the steady beat of weighty kicks footing its looming psychedelic sequences.

Side B invites Counterchange Recordings founder Inland and KSR boss Kaiser to remix the original tracks. First up, Ostgut Ton, Figure, and Nonplus+’s Inland remixes ‘Group Dynamics’ by adding scratchy textures and the thrum of long-forgotten machines before Kaiser reimagines ‘Scala Naturae’. The Key Vinyl and Soma artist turns the track into a prime-time, tripped-out dancefloor cut.

Lastly, Inland provides a dub techno version of his contribution as a digital bonus, with ASEC dropping the excellent ‘Enough Is Enough’ on online platforms. In this track, typewriter-like hats skitter over imposing drums while warped melodics twist and turn on top, closing out yet another mind-melting techno offering from the Berlin producer.

CEASEFIRE [NRFVA00FP]

ASEC – Eternalism

ASEC debuts on Float Records with his "Snake Eater" EP, where he channels the electric momentum of the dancefloor. Delving into a distinct sound palette, ASEC refined compositions with intricate details, favoring texture and atmosphere over conventional hooks. 

"Traffic," featuring field recordings of car horns from the Modena-Brennaro autostrada, and "Orbital," enriched with harmonics from an acoustic guitar. ASEC commitment to immediacy and genuine sound is evident. Influenced by classical techno with a sci-fi twist, "Equus" and "Orbital" embody this vision through a synthy, abrasive lens.
