[GlobalU]

Ashtrax - Bad Red E.P. (GUSIN008) RELEASED 4th April

A1 FREELOAD (FREELOVE)
B1 SOMETHING TO GET THROUGH
B2 PLAY IT ROSA (INSTRUMENTAL)

GU[MUSIC]’s latest stellar signing made up of DJ Ashley Casselle, producer James Christopher and vocalist Ben Lost. They are a band with an alternative edge ready to deliver an amazing diverse album citing influences such as The Smiths, Andy Weatherall and Joy Division.

Their first E.P. for GU[MUSIC] has the silky grooves and stabby riffs of ‘Freeload (Freelove)’, the guitar embossed epic ‘Something To Get Through’ and the lush, breakbeat fuelled ‘Play It Rosa’.

Already a big track hitting the cool cuts chart and going down a storm for the usual suspects with Danny Howells already including it on his Global Underground - Miami (GU027)
