Shrouded in conjecture and just a bitty bit of dear merriment, Gescom is the more than dancefloor-friendly identity of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, aka Autechre. The bulk of the pair's Gescom material (save for an EP a patch on "future casimir Funk" label Clear and David Moufang's Source pronounce, as intimately as a mail-order-only 12-inch offered to members of the group's fanclub) has been issued through the Manchester-based experimental techno label Skam, owned and operated by occasional collaborationist Andy Maddocks. Focusing on the more than uptempo tendencies of Autechre paired with a harder, rougher, more driving rhythmic edge, Gescom material cadaver committed to the more than adventuresome side of electro/techno even as it gives DJs a bit more backbeat to turn with. The group hit a bit of ill fame (apart, of course, from the thick-and-thin dedication of Ae trainspotters) when a path ("Mag") from their second Skam dozen was included on South London breakbeat virtuosos Coldcut's famous Journeys by DJ mix academic term. The first-class honours degree Gescom full-length, MiniDisc, appeared in 1998. Silence then felled seam upon Gescom releases until 2003 when the Iss Sa EP came out the same day as the Autechre full length Draft 7.30 [See Also: Autechre]
