He’s been making music since 2000, releasing a pretty vast number of records along the way, but we first became aware of West-Midlands-hailing ASC last year, when we heard snatches of his work cropping up on Instra:mental’s Autonomic podcasts, and later copped his storming ‘Porcelain’ 12″ on their Nonplus label.

Our interest was piqued even more by a promo mix that ASC (real name James Clemens) recorded for Fabric, showcasing his chilly techno, dubstep and garage-inflected take on drum ‘n bass perfectly.

That minimal, swinging style is full evidence on Nothing In Certain, a full-length album to be released by Nonplus on August 2. It features thirteen original tracks, including collaborations with Consequence (‘Fade Away Seasons’) and Vaccine (‘Opus’).  There will also be a vinyl edition featuring six of the CD album’s tracks pressed nice and loud, one to a side, across three LPs.
