I had a bunch of people asking about some of the music on the page. It seems that most of the links don't work for the tracks listed there, so I've moved everything onto the Auxiliary server and all the links are fine. If you've missed out on any of the free tracks so far, then click the tab in the top navbar and grab what you want.

Deepchord - Hash-Bar Remnants Part.2 (Soma) For me, it's all about Amsterdam Remnant Part.3.  Typical analogue warmth from Rod Modell here, especially when that pad and chords section comes in around about the 3 minute mark.  Probably one of the best tracks he's done on his own for quite some time. bvdub & Ian Hawgood - The Truth Hurts (Nomadic Kids Republic) This LP features four tracks

Brock Van Wey, otherwise known as bvdub needs no introduction to all of you who have your heads screwed on the right way.  Not much really to say other than go and get educated further on the main man himself in this recent interview he did for Organic. Oh yeah, Symbol #6 will be dropping Feb 2012 by Brock, under his East Of Oceans guise.  See if you can spot the tunes in Auxcast Episode 03.

I recently went back and listened to this LP for the first time in years. I wrote it between 2002 and 2006, and I think some of it still holds up now. Some of it I don't care for too much, but overall as an LP, it's pretty strong. Anyway, this was released on my now defunct Covert Operations label back in 2006. I thought I'd throw it up for free download for those that missed it first time

You should all know of Geoff Presha's excellent Samurai group of labels, if only via my work on there, so it gives me great pleasure to tell you about an exciting new project he's started.  Presha welcomes another new label to the fold, in the form of the exclusively vinyl-only, Horo.  Named after the cloaks the Samurai traditionally wore in battle on top of their armour, it fits the ethos

Up for grabs, is 1 test pressing of Auxiliary 003. Test pressings are white label reference vinyl which are sent from the pressing plant so we can make sure the cut sounds as it should before it goes into mass production. These have been approved, so this record will sound the same as the final cut when released. AUX003 - ASC - Time Is Now EP The EP features the title track, Time Is Now, the

Yes, you read it right.  bvdub presents, not ASC presents!  This is the first time I've thought about letting anyone else into the Deep Space inner circle, as it were, and who better than one of ambient music's finest?  Brock Van Wey delivers a sumptuous mix of exotic blends, spatial dimensions and just about every other superlative that comes to mind when you think of the Deep Space series.

It's 2011.  There are a multitude of options.  Digital, analogue and even hybrids of both, but still there remains this belief that if you are not mixing records the old fashioned way - i.e 2 pieces of vinyl, 2 turntables, a mixer and nothing else - then you are cheating. I decided to make this post after a friend of mine played a Serato set tonight on a net radio show and got accused of cheating

A vinyl exclusive, coming very soon. Two of my tracks that have been popular over the last couple of years are finally getting a release. 200 copies only, white label, hand stamped with the Auxiliary logo. No repress, so once they're gone, that's it! Have a listen to what you're getting for your money right here:http://soundcloud.com/auxiliarylabel/sets/auxwl001-asc/

I had an idea recently to put out a limited edition white label run of some stuff on Auxiliary.  Probably a very small number of 'no frills' vinyl - i.e plain sleeve, 10" or 12" black vinyl of a decent weight, and white label.  So anyway, I'm looking at what my fans would like to see on vinyl that hasn't been released yet by me.  It can also include things that have been digital only so far also,

http://www.auxiliarymusic.com/shop Bookmark this!  Free MP3's when you buy the vinyl.  Also, when you buy direct from the Auxiliary store, the label earns more money, so your support is greatly appreciated.  This is the official Auxiliary store, so I'm encouraging you all to buy from here when purchasing your Aux music!

The Zone of Avoidance is the area of the night sky that is obscured by our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Interstellar dust and stars in the plane of the Milky Way (the galactic plane) obstruct our view of around 20% of the extragalactic sky at visible wavelengths. As a result, optical galaxy catalogues are usually very incomplete close to the galactic plane. It's also the title of my third

Congratulations to '@Himmel_' who won the recent competition I held via Twitter.  A pack of 5 Auxiliary test presses is on it's way to you this week. For everyone else who didn't win, fear not.  I will be running another competition around about the time I receive the test presses for Symbol #4 by Consequence.

"You cannot force good music, as creativity will rise and fall" This statement is very true. I'm no stranger to 'writers block' or just lack of creativity in general sometimes, as I'm sure most producers aren't either.  It would be inhuman to be able to keep writing constantly and for the quality to remain so high.  Even your favourite artists will have a stack of tracks that have probably

I just got back from Tokyo a few days and I'm still on a high from the experience, so what better time to write a blog update! First of all, I'd never been to Japan before, so I was excited from all the images and my pre-conceptions about what it was like.  The whole place is just alive.  There's always something going on and I loved that.  So anyway, I was there to play 3 gigs in the space of 5

So if you direct your attention to the navigation bar along the top, chances are, you've already noticed a Free Music Archive section that you'll probably have pillaged already.  If not, then what are you waiting for?!  Anyway, just to keep it updated, I've added Reach Out, which I gave away free on Soundcloud a week or so ago.  I've removed it from Soundcloud, so if you missed it, grab it here.

170SD is a new night hosted by Calculon, Guise, Sinistarr and myself. This is the second night we've done so far, and at the moment, there's no set pattern, just sporadically, but not too often. If you are in the area, we are at the Kava Lounge, near the airport in downtown San Diego.

A remix I did for Rubik Records is out now.  Calculon - Odessa (ASC Remix) is available digitally at all good stores now, and the vinyl won't be too much longer.  The vinyl was due out at the same time, but there were complications at the plant which caused a delay.  Here's some audio for you, and look out for a clear green vinyl of this very soon. http://soundcloud.com/calculon/

Won't be too much longer until you can all get your hands on this piece of vinyl too.  Again, it will be limited edition (250 copies), this time, white vinyl.  More info on this soon, but for now, if you haven't heard the tracks, you can check them out on Soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/auxiliarylabel/sets/auxsym002-symbol-2-by-asc/

Symbol #1 by ASC - Out April 18th. Limited Edition 250 copies. Orange vinyl. No repress, don't miss out! For inquiring minds, you will be able to get this at all the usual places you normally get your Auxiliary vinyl from - i.e Redeye, Chemical, Juno, Boomkat etc.

The first EP on Auxiliary Transmissions is available now from all major digital stores.  This is a new series that will feature tracks that are just a little too risky or 'out there' for vinyl.  The first EP features 4 tracks - As The Dust Settles, Black Hole Collapse, Ambitronic & Moonraker.  You can check out the tracks on Auxiliary Soundcloud.

I've been talking about this for a while, but it's finally out.  900mb of pads, atmospheres, keys, beats, bass, glitches, fx and everything else you might possibly need.  All sampler formats are covered too, and all for the low price of 29.95 GBP. http://www.loopmasters.com/product/details/780/ASC_-_Experimental_Drum_&_Bass Here's a short production related interview I did with Kmag for the

I'm seriously late on this one, but since I just discovered it today, I figured I'd throw a link up here for those of you who might have never checked it also.  I'm a big fan of the film and this website is extremely well done.  It includes tons of little things from the film, including sound-bytes and other bonus stuff to sink your teeth into. http://www.donniedarkofilm.com

Me and Vaccine have contributed a track to this benefit compilation put together by Hearts Of Bass to raise money for the recent tragic events in Japan. The track in question is called Somnolence. I'll post up more information, including how/where to donate very soon.

Back to the music for a bit, hehe. I've updated my Official.fm with two playlists. One for forthcoming stuff (Unreleased) and one for all the stuff yet to find a home, or that might possibly never come out (Unsgined). I figured it would be a good idea to have an online catalogue of what I've been up to all in one place, so here's the links: Unreleased - http://official.fm/playlists/57206

It's rare that I get all fanboy-ish around these parts (is that even a word?!), but I have to kind of make an exception for this masterpiece of a game.  For those of you not familiar with the game, you play James Sunderland, a man summoned to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his now deceased wife.  The general tone and feel of the game is one of sorrow, mystery, regret and damnation.  As

So I've been going back through my old consoles and finding games that I haven't touched in years, as I've been telling you about on here and on Twitter.  I'd all but forgotten about Panzer Dragoon Saga, up until recently when I stumbled across an old Saturn site which reviews some of the classics from yesteryear.  Without going into too much detail about the game or trying to review it, it's

First of all, if you are reading this and you don't have this game already for your Xbox 360, then do yourself a favour.  It's worth every single penny you spend on it.  The atmosphere of this game is unreal, and a lot of that lends itself to the amazing soundtrack.  It ranges from ethereal soundscapes, white noise static, to eerie backdrops as you make your way through limbo.

AUXSYM002 - Symbol #2 by ASC & Bvdub.  Serious collaborations happening here with me teaming up with ambient legend, Bvdub (Brock Van Wey).  4 tracks were crafted, from beat-less ambient, right through to 170bpm autonomic styled tracks.

Bit of a nerdy post, but I don't care hah.  I recently got all of mine and Christine's old consoles out of storage.  For the record we have a NES, a SNES, an N64, a PS1, a Japanese PS2, a slimline US PS2, a Sega Saturn and a Sega Dremcast.  I also found an old GBA and my first gen DS, both of which are gathering dust.  I hardly have the time these days to sit and replay old games, but when I do,
