Moniker of 22-year-old Brighton based Charlie Baldwin who cites Steve Reich & percussion heavy jazz as main influences for excursions into complex rhythmical territory. Uses found sounds, live drums, synth & vocoder for unearthly beauty. Kasket kicks off the EP with Fallen, and it is apparent from the off that here is an artist very much ploughing his own unique furrow – the track has a polyrhythmic bounce that veers towards bhangra, tethered by a deep melancholic synth chord sequence and a heavily distorted vocoder.


It’s a deeply idiosyncratic piece of music and illustrates immediately that Kasket is emerging as a real ‘voice’, eschewing genres and trends within electronic music to instead pursue his own brightly coloured vision. Following on from Fallen, Kasket eases back into Mia, a piece of low slung, breathy post r&b, that slowly and surely burns into a full blown piano epic – backwards keys and strange reverbs and effects that propel the track towards avant garde territory. Rounding off, we have the title track – Autumn Fades, perhaps the EP’s most dazzling moment, which kicks off sounding like a techno Captain Beefheart before shifting up into a manic bounce: a vivid riot of bass, crisp percussion and impatient drums. Next Kasket introduces a vocoded vocal and wild synths swirls, before dropping the intensity with a beautiful string led breakdown and ending with what sounds like a mournful, synthetic colliery band.
