There was a gentle throb as the train rumbled beneath the city up above. It travelled from borough to borough between stations, pulsing its way through the endless city. People came and went from each carriage, from time to time they might be so interested as to cast a glance at one another but most of the time they remained solitary and silent, engaged only in the pulse of their technology and headsets. This was life in the present, a blurred reality in which faces were forgotten and replaced by screens. 

ELLLL is an Irish producer and DJ of who we have been following with intrigue in recent years. Her own music has been widely acclaimed and we ourselves have enjoyed what she has released. Now she has teamed up with Irish label Art for Blind Records to formulate the release of a compilation called Gash Trax, a record featuring all female, LGBTQ+ and queer artists from around the island of Ireland.

GASH TRAX VOL.1

PREMIERE: Gadget And The Cloud - Pulse [Gash Trax]

"Mixing electronic sounds with acoustic instruments playing, Fahmi has combined his different skills to create electro-acoustic compositions that in some cases also wear resemblance to the style of what we used to call post-rock. Composition and playing with the sounds or of instruments are merged close together here, resulting in an atmosphere of ethereal and austere."
- Post Global Recordings

"I got hooked on Fahmi’s music before, and … honestly, far from playing favorites, I find I keep accidentally running over it through aliases and different links and enjoying it over and over again. (While I was just in Indonesia for Nusasonic, it wasn’t the trip that made me discover the music – it was the work of musicians like Fahmi that were the reason we all found ourselves on the other side of the world in the first place, to be more accurate. They discovered new sounds, and us.)"
- Peter Kirn / CDM

"Although the excellent Tandem Tapes label is based in Jakarta, they’re run by an ex-pat Aussie and have a decidedly international outlook. Nevertheless they do showcase plenty of great experimental Indonesian artists, and we finish tonight with Bandung-based “sound sculptor” Fahmi Mursyid, who uses granular synthesis to transform found sounds, guitar and traditional Indonesian instruments into surging drone and glitch works. I love the snatches of choral harmonies floating in and out of this particular track."
- Peter Hollo / FBi Radio

"With an ever-increasing array of powerful, portable and affordable electronic instruments available, the temptation for producers is to go maximal with their sound. But as these videos—courtesy of Indonesian musician Fahmi Mursyid—prove, a seriously affective and versatile sound can be crafted from the most limited of means."
- Telekom Electronic Beats 

"Jakarta Indonesia based Tandem Tapes is quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. It seems like half of their artists are pulled from the pool of experimental music that the Tome swims in and half are undiscovered gems from around the world the Indonesian based Fahmi Mursyid. I find myself lucky to have discovered something like Fahmi's soundclash of the sacred and profane. Gorgeous vocal drones beneath playful, exploratory electronics that ward off any tendency for the heavy hand."
- Tome to the Weather Machine
