Marc Ashken Lupine EP

Spilt Milk Recordings launches with fresh new material from Marc Ashken, a proficient producer who's worked with the likes of Safari Electronique and Leftroom. The original mix of title cut 'Lupine' sees Ashken embrace his signature mood-driven and hypnotic style, fusing sturdy rhythms, tripped-out meandering melodies, resonant synth glitches and a processed vocal murmurs to kick things off in style. Following is the 'Acapella' offering then the 'Beats' version of 'Lupine' steps in, doing exactly what it says on the tin. The flip side of the release gives us two versions of 'Squat'. The original takes on a contrasting format to the preceding track. This time veering into more reduced realms with sparse drum programming, rumbling sub-bass and sporadic menacing synth stabs to create a mind-bending composition. The package is then closed with the '606 Edit' of 'Squat'! We're treated to an analogue drum-driven take on the original number.
