"I was immediately blown away by the potential talent. With all these young producers bursting onto the scene at the moment, he’s rightfully earned himself a spot on the list of artists proving that age isn’t an issue when it comes to making beats. Taking a large influence from artists such as Flying Lotus and James Blake, his beats are wonderfully crafted with some of the most well produced percussion I’ve heard in recent times." - Riccardo Villella @ Truants Blog "It seems like in these days you can find a talented bedroom producer in almost every nook and cranny of the world. College kid, Zak Brashill (aka Etch), is stirring up some inspirational beats in his hometown of Brighton, UK. Following in the footsteps of fellow beat enthusiasts: LA’s Flying Lotus and the experimental mind music from fellow Englishmen, James Blake and Burial, Etch is twisting the boundaries of space and time and adding to the expansive Experimental genre that flows through the souls of the intellectual. This kid is definitely something to remember!" - Taylor Freels @ Kidcity "The 9 tracks on his soundcloud immediately grabbed my attention, with bass driven dubstep beats, yet filled with the emotional intensity that the likes of Burial and more recently James Blake and Sepalcure are bringing to the genre. His music is both suited to the dancefloor as well as just listening for pleasure during the day, the perfect form of IDM for me. I tried to find out more info on the artist as soon as I heard the tracks, and the first thing I found out was that the kid is only 17 years old. He has no doubt got great things ahead of him, and it wouldn't surprise me if his tracks are soon being played alongside the likes of Joy Orbison, A Made Up Sound, Young Montana? and Flying Lotus by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs and co." - Ben Roberts @ The Daily Bugle 2. Etch's music varies widely, covering a large range of genres, including; breakcore, dubstep, jungle, dnb, dub, ska, tekno, minimal techno, house[some], gabba, trance, minimal, IDM and many more. His music attempts to draw on all these genres, combinig different sounds and production techniques, along with hefty sampling of everything and anything around him to create a fusion of sound, that attempts to take the listener on a journey throughout the course of the track.
