Ali Asker
ASCENT EP
(DJ SPIDER & PARICE SCOTT REMIXES)
Green Village / GV 009
12 Inch
Green Village has already proven itself to be a trusted outpost for all kinds of adventurous souls in the US house and techno game. Transmitting out of Jersey City, the label now invites Ali Asker to serve up a mixed bag of treats. Standards heads into classic electro territory, while Concatenate swerves into strange, fractured lands somewhere between deepest techno and outright tropical ambience. Ascent is a celestial soarer, all achingly beautiful arpeggios and sub bass pressure, which DJ Spider then drags into one of his knotted grooves. Patrice Scotts version is understandably lighter, favouring his trademark strain of soul-stirring deep house as a framework for whispers of the original to dart around
