UK house phenom debuts on the Factory 93 imprint with his new single, a nostalgia-laced cut born after his set performing to a crowd of 20,000 ravers this past summer.
Northeast England’s Gaskin makes his debut on Factory 93 Records with “Ultraman,” an ID that has been in high demand since summer.
Hailing from Newcastle, Gaskin is the brains behind the Bass Jamz operation, the label and event series that has cut through the noise of the UK house circuit with its culture-first philosophy.
Every track he produces reflects that same authenticity, with refined, groove-laden productions that have earned him the coveted BBC Radio 1’s ‘Hottest Record’ status, as well as heavy support from tastemakers including Patrick Topping and Chris Stussy.
For his Factory 93 Records debut, Gaskin brings his dancefloor instincts to the fore. “Ultraman” oozes ‘90s rave nostalgia, interspersing its timelessness across propulsive drum work, proggy synth leads, and raw MC vocal loops. The sum of its sleek textures equates to a record built for big rooms and even bigger festivals.
Created in the wake of Gaskin’s set at Creamfields, performing in front of 20,000 ravers, “Ultraman” distills that energy into track-form. It has served its purpose ever since, causing an uproar at Amnesia Ibiza’s closing parties and a string of dates at ADE. The momentum is set to continue as he takes it to his upcoming open-to-close warehouse session at Nowhere in Manchester.
Shedding light on the moment that sparked the idea for his new single, Gaskin says, “Music with feeling wins over just making slammers for clubs, if you make a track with feeling, that’s when people are going to want to listen to it in 50 years’ time—that’s when timeless music is made. This is what I try to do with all my music, ‘Ultraman’ is a good example of that.”
Tying in old-school elements with forward-thinking influences, “Ultraman” is a testament as to why Gaskin remains one of the most talked about talents in the UK.
Over the last 2 years Gaskin has made a big name for himself in the production world releasing on some of the top labels such as Up The Stuss, You & Me, Locus, After Caposile Music and many more. Gaskin also has a lot of exciting releases forthcoming over the next year… In 2021 Gaskin started his own brand and record label Bass Jamz which has had massive success over the last year with his number 1 release “Dirty Mindz”.
2024 has been the biggest year of his career so far playing at some of the biggest clubs and festivals across Europe such as Amnesia Ibiza, Pacha Barcelona, Cova Santa Ibiza, Creamfields, Hide & Seek Festival and many more.
Gaskin’s new single “Ultraman” is available on all platforms via Factory 93 Records.
