Already on his ninth album, by rights The Gasman should be well and truly running out of ideas by now, but Chris Reeves (for that is his real name) shows no signs of taking it easy. 'Ruter' instantly situates you in that familiar Planet Mu mindset, scambling erratic beats with lightly detuned, Aphex-influenced synths. Once that's despatched it's onto 'Helpline' a frosty configuration of discordant choral-sounding synth pads, acidic basslines and shattered drum sequences buried relatively deeply in the mix. Perhaps one of the most successful aspects of this particular long-player is its deplo… Read more

Gasman's disturbed opus "Remedial" comes to us from Portsmouth's Christopher Reeves, jacking out an oddly compulsive mixture of hardcore revivalist f**kups and haunted ballroom ambient stretches. The juxtaposition is set from the off - 'Horses On Ice' supplying the eerie materials in a layered fashion while 'Ajax' keys in the right piano sequences and breakbeat tumbles for a nice mashup that sounds like the Ragga Twins on consciousness depriving Ketamin, melodies supplied by RDJ in finest regressive stylee. Ace. 'Neuro Feedback' is awesome, another Hardcore tribute on ice, brilliant production… Read more
As the price of natural gas rockets and the world seems poised on the brink of carbon-fuelled oblivion, there's not a lot of love these days for your trusty gasman. Possibly taking this as inspiration (although we seriously doubt it...), 'Love Collection' is the latest album from Portsmouth based Christopher Reeves (aka The Gasman), wherein he follows up the 'This One's For You' with some more of the shattered digital plates that made his name originally over on Sublight. Consistently teeth-juddering throughout, 'Love Collection' is a heart shaped dispatch to all things electronic - hug… Read more

FLAC Download // £8.99If you've ever hid from the gasman when he's come round to read the meter, it's worth pointing out that THE Gasman (aka Christopher Reeves) isn't an employee of the energy industry - so whacking the TV off when you spot him down the street isn't necessary... Unless you have an aversion to hardboiled, glitch-fed electronica of course. In that case; do one! Making the permanent move from Sublight over to the Planet Mu roster, Reeves hasn't changed his sound one iota - but given the relative success of his deformed IDM 'ardcore, you wouldn't want it any other way. Opening with the subze… Read more
Planet Mu mainstay The Gasman manages to piece together another twelve tracks of post-rave electronic oddness for this fourth full-length album. It might not be the most contemporary sound on the block any more, but 'Audiogold' is a successful exercise in mischievous retrograde enjoyment and should have regular followers of the Mu in fits of rabid pleasure. If you've heard any of the man's back catalogue you should know what to expect; ear-pounding beatplay straight out of the Rephlex instruction manual somewhat strangely accompanied by haunting classical strings and faux-emotive melodies. Oc… Read more

"Portsmouth resident Christopher Reeves was born in 1976 and grew up mainly listening to Cliff and Elvis until he got a radio of his own, when he got into taping synth-pop music off the airwaves and prolonging the good bits using the tape-to-tape function on his cassette recorder. Then he started playing chords over the top to make it more exciting and satisfying, almost turning them into his own bits of music. At the age of 17 he was lent a Yamaha keyboard that let the user programme melodies, and started making music incorporating records, tapes and that synth. Soon after he found an old Grun… Read more
Back in stock. There's really no stopping this feller is there? The improbably prolific Christopher Reeves returns yet again with a disc jam-packed with old-school raver motifs, classic IDM sensibilities and more than a few forward-thinking mentalist tactics. 'Skud' has Reeves setting out his stall with some spectacularly dissonant acid manipulations before straightening out nicely for the 303 workout 'Battery'. Reeves seems to revel in his ability to take elements of hardcore, acid and Artificial Intelligence-era electronics and corrupt it with his often uncompromising tendency towards discord and … Read more

Christopher Reeves (aka The Gasman) has been tending his digital boilers for some years, releasing work through Planet Mu and now Sublight. With a sound that is textbook hard-boiled electronica, Reeves delights in pock-marking IDM rendered backdrops with polished bursts of cascading beats, analogue melodies and needling breakbeats; the result being a sound you've heard a million times before, but is still capable of delighting. Opening with the AFX battered smear of 'Gas Man' and closing with the grubby electo'n'bass of 'Ultrum', Reeves thoroughly proves his Corgi credentials in between as melodies… Read more
12" // £6.99The gasman delivers some high octane glitchin elctronic hardcore for terminal dusk. Manipulated mentasm samples and breakbeat hardcore are processed with some heavy glitch application and hackneyed ravin IDM melodies for all the 'lectronic rave nerds. Fans of the electronica rave edits of dev/null, ceephax or the amen andrews series will find space to slot these dj friendly cuts into their sets. Limited copies!!
Massive double-cd set from Portsmouth's Chris Reeves for Planet Mu, once again pairing his love of Aphex-style playful intricacies with a harrowing line in abandoned dancehall instrumentals. The opening of this album defies expectations with its dense splice-up of choral phrases and ghostly ice-rink vibes, seemingly influenced by VVM's Caretaker and Akira Rabelais' haunting choir re-arrangements. 'Imodium' does this particularly well, you don't quite now what you're listening to as the dis-assembled choir start to sound like they're building themselves up for an Amen tumb… Read more
