"Walking Target" is the new album by artist Ashtech and producer Gaudi, two UK transplants originally from Italy who have made the UK their home and their sound. The Ashtech sound is a fluid electro-dub melange of deep bass lines, long reverbs, funk guitars, reggae beats and Jamaican MCing that screams London all throughout. 13 tracks of trance-inducing, upper-body-swinging, chill-party-going deep dub where occasional MC's lines will wake your ass up from your hazy dream of strobe lights and dark dancefloors to keep it bouncy and keep up the motion. You can hear influences of Nick Manasseh, Jeremy The Equalizer, Prodigy, Bill Laswell, Surya, Almamegretta (whom he collaborates with steadily). Labels such as On-U Sound, Asphodel, Different Drummer, Select Cuts, Echo Beach would have been perfect for this release, but Interchill was quick at securing Ashtech to their roster. This album is the real deal. It certainly doesn't sound like two Italians making music (at first I didn't even know they were from Italy and I would have put my money on London for sure). If they are on a quest to evolve into an authentic London imprint, then they are certainly there.
