Under the name M.E.S.H., American-born, Berlin-based producer James Whipple produces hard-edged club music that pushes the jagged beats of grime into the realm of abstract sound design. M.E.S.H.'s first release was the 2012 EP Share the Blame. M.E.S.H. traded remixes with Fatima Al Qadiri and Arca and released several well-received mixes, and was signed to Bill Kouligas' Pan label in 2014. His first release on the label was the critically acclaimed Scythians EP. The year 2015 saw the release of digital single "Infra-Dusk"/"Infra-Dawn" on Renaissance Man's Black Ocean label, as well as M.E.S.H.'s full-length debut, Piteous Gate, which was less club-friendly than his prior releases, instead creating punishing, bombastic soundscapes. ~ Paul Simpson
