Shrouded in conjecture and just a wee bit of good fun, Gescom is the more dancefloor-friendly identity of <a href="spotify:artist:3nu5upBa3eLiejjFnda2Tp">Sean Booth</a> and Rob Brown, aka <a href="spotify:artist:6WH1V41LwGDGmlPUhSZLHO">Autechre</a>. The bulk of the pair's Gescom material (save for an EP a piece on "future funk" label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Clear%22">Clear</a> and David Moufang's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Source%22">Source</a> label, as well as a mail-order-only 12" offered to members of the group's fanclub) has been issued through the Manchester-based experimental techno label Skam, owned and operated by occasional collaborator Andy Maddocks. Focusing on the more uptempo tendencies of <a href="spotify:artist:6WH1V41LwGDGmlPUhSZLHO">Autechre</a> paired with a harder, rougher, more driving rhythmic edge, Gescom material remains committed to the more adventurous side of electro/techno even as it gives DJs a bit more backbeat to work with. The group hit a bit of popularity (apart, of course, from the thick-and-thin dedication of <a href="spotify:artist:6WH1V41LwGDGmlPUhSZLHO">Ae</a> trainspotters) when a track ("Mag") from their second Skam 12" was included on South London breakbeat virtuosos <a href="spotify:artist:5wnhqlZzXIq8aO9awQO2ND">Coldcut</a>'s celebrated Journeys by DJ mix session. The first Gescom full-length, MiniDisc, appeared in 1998. Silence then fell upon Gescom releases until 2003 when the Iss:Sa EP came out the same day as the <a href="spotify:artist:6WH1V41LwGDGmlPUhSZLHO">Autechre</a> full length Draft 7.30. ~ Sean Cooper, Rovi
