Aspetuck is an artist based in the Hudson Valley, just north of New York City. As a producer of electronic music, he is drawn to the tactile, meditative approach of recording & processing sounds through various pieces of analog & digital gear. Aspetuck’s music can be characterized by deep, repetitive grooves that delicately evolve without feeling static. There is a balance of influences that he conveys & distills into his own voice, drawing from elements of ambient, house, techno, electronica, IDM, dub, krautrock, etc. He is also deeply inspired by synthesis & the technological side of music & sound creation. A lush, sublime melodic moment usually isn’t too far away when you hear one of his tracks & it’s usually preceded by a collage of sequences & percussive grooves unearthed from his modular system & gently assembled like puzzle pieces.
Growing up in sleepy Vermont, without easy access to any inkling of a nightlife scene, the internet was Aspetuck's only form of musical discovery for those formative days. Years later, after living in both Brooklyn & Los Angeles, Aspetuck was very quickly drawn into the robust nightlife cultures of both cities that was so absent in the rural hills of the northeast. He views performance, in the form of DJing or playing live, as a platform to share, showcase & test out all of this studio output. Followers of his online presence are regularly privy to clips of music in progress from his studio & he occasionally shares set recordings consisting of collections of recently finished unreleased music.
He has amassed a large & diverse catalog of music over the years including a handful of albums, some of which have been self-released on his own Bandcamp & his two most recent albums, ’Early Color’ & ‘Inanimate Distraction Object’, were released in 2022 & 2023 on his own label Never Late & South Korean imprint Oslated consecutively. He is also known for his ‘Mind Wandering’ EP on Wex Recordings imprint Telomere which released on vinyl in late 2022.
