French producer, composer and Berlin Atonal favourite Aho Ssan is well known by now for his theory-driven explorations of electronic music’s outer limits. His 2020 LP Simulacrum is a head-spinning labyrinth of sonics with a tantalisingly elusive centre — and so any indication of where his electronic avant-garde philosophy comes from might yield some insights. That’s the feeling you get from his revelatory exclusive Bleep mix. Echoes of Aho Ssan’s work resonate in the scorched sub-techno fury of unreleased Emptyset and Exzald S tracks, while his own remix of Childish Gambino’s ‘This is America’ drenches trap snares with an unruly noise edge.
