Based at 5 Gate Temple, he has collaborated with Planert Mu, contributed to Dean Blunt’s work under the name S. Bronze, and released music on “Docile” with Tribe Of Colin—also known as JOHN T. GAST—as well as on “The Trilogy Taoes.” He has been active behind the scenes in the experimental techno and dub-industrial, and other genres. This 2017 CDR by JOHN T. GAST under the alias Young Druid has now been released on vinyl. It features lo-fi, machine-like sounds reminiscent of an old-school PC game soundtrack. While all JOHN T. GAST-related releases have become rare, this is a welcome vinyl release. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
