Glassmasterer, Scotland On Sunday, 26 August 2018

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 26 August 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) GLASSMASTERER Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayEdinburgh-based DJ and producer, Glassmasterer made us sit up and listen on Monday when his latest track was premiered on Vic Galloway’s BBC Radio Scotland show (click to listen).Subverting the current hit-making formula based on lots of short-lived good bits which are over before they can be properly appreciated, Last Chance To Make Plans takes the listener through various beguiling stages which are enjoyably weird. Featuring synth pop duo Chuchoter, it begins with that organ sound popularised by Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight, then morphs into a sleazy disco vibe reminiscent of eighties trio Imagination, continues with a female vocal, then finishes with a selection of curious noises and recordings. It’s tempting to say ‘you couldn’t make it up’ but Glassmasterer has, in the process created an aural chop suey and one of our favourite tracks of 2018. An album featuring a wide range of guest musicians is in the pipeline and on 14 September he plays with a full band at Edinburgh’s The Mash House supporting Future Get Down visit www.facebook.com/glassmasterer Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide music industry events and seminars www.borntobewide.co.uk Under the Radar is in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) AIM is a trade body established in 1999 to provide a collective voice for the UK’s independent music industry.
