PREMIERE: Âsan - Bass Bin [ÂSAN]

We’re excited to be premiering ‘Bass Bin’, a track off of our dear friend @asan_cellar’s brand new ÂSAN imprint. ‘Beychen’ in Âsan’s native tongue of Urdu means ‘restlesss’ or ‘uneasy’, words that are poignantly analogous to this mood & tone of the tracks on the EP. ’Bass Bin’ is a track that materialized out of Âsan’s time experimenting with the Buchla Easel.

‘Beychen’, the 4-track, 140 gram vinyl, will be available April 1st on Âsan’s own Bandcamp & stocked at record shops worldwide.
