Vessel is the pseudonym of 22 year old Bristolian Sebastian Gainsborough. Having only been producing for a few years Seb rose to prominence in 2011 through acclaimed releases for Throwing Snow’s fledgling label left_blank, along with a sold out cassette release for Rekordah’s boutique imprint Astro-Dynamics. In early 2012 Seb signed with the all conquering Tri Angle records (home to Balam Acab, oOoOO, Holy Other, Clams Casino, The Haxan Cloak) to release his debut album.

Taking influence as much from the bass heavy heritage of the city around him as from sounds emerging further afield, Seb creates exciting, unclassifiable music across shifting BPM’s. From the warped EBM pulse of Nylon Sunset to the stuttering house swing of Patina, through to the recently unveiled, industrial tinged Tri Angle debut Scarletta, there is a unique grasp of rhythm and an undeniable musicality at work in his productions.

As part of the Young Echo collective alongside fellow left_blank artist El Kid, and Punch Drunk signees Kahn & Zhou, Seb is at the forefront of a groundbreaking generation of new producers for whom 2012 should be a stellar year.
