Having released music from the likes of Boards of Canada, Autechre, Bola, Mr. 76ix, & Jega, Skam Records is at the very forefront of the leftfield/experimental electronic music scene.
In the past, no one was really sure who was involved with the Gescom music project- some expected it was perhaps a mixture of ‘IDM’ staples Autechre, Aphex Twin, and others. To this day, I’m not sure if anyone really knows who is in the current Gescom lineup, though it seems that, along with Russell Haswell, Gescom is indeed Autechre related.
The only certainty I have of Gescom is that, whoever is involved, ‘they’ make very interesting electronic music. Gescom usually dabble with electro, acid, and hip-hop beats and then destroy shit via rhythmic skips & glitches. Their sound is like a malfunctioning music software program gone wrong. I love it.
‘A1-D1′ is a collection of six tracks taken from 2 vinyl EP’s Gescom released prior to the CD. Here are two of them.
