having impressed with his stripped back, percussive remix of alan fitzpatricks gridlock track, drumcode are delighted to be giving gary beck his full debut on the label with his askaig ep. askaig illustrates becks understanding of the drumcode aesthetic as he contrasts the brutal force of a slamming kick, huge throbbing bass and crunchy pads with the delicate, ever-so-trippy plucked string hook via an arrangement that enhances and the raw power of the individual elements. on the flip side, mock tease completes the package with an end-of-night bridging track that combines the shimmering euphoric qualities of pulsing harmonics with splashes of sound effects and a marching, percussive rhythm that extenuates the epic feel of the track
