The Null Club is the project from Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan-Borges, he recently dropped new single “Frameshift” featuring Brooklyn-based rapper E L U C I D (Armand Hammer). The song follows previous single “Slip Angle” feat Mandy, Indiana‘s Valentine Caulfield last month.

Alan has spent the last few years writing and producing music using an array of old synths, drum machines, and guitars – leaning into noise, techno and experimental hip hop, as well as post-punk. On 4th April, he’ll release his self-titled debut EP and includes both tracks as well as another with The Horrors’ Faris Badwan.

Working with E L U C I D previously, Alan says of the track “ELUCID had reached out to say hey and I ended up producing a track – RFID – for his record “Revelator”. Frameshift was a track that I had for a good while but I didn’t know what to do with it. I had written and recorded most of it at home. For a good while I had seen it as an instrumental, but part of me always imagined vocals in the second half. I had resigned the track to being an instrumental, and mixed and mastered it. But very late into the making of the EP I reached out to ELUCID to see if would be into working on it. I sent him the track and he came back with his part. He made the track what it is”.

The Null Club’s EP will be released on a limited run of 500 12” white label records, each hand stamped by Alan and released independently on a label ran by his wife and himself. The EP was mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), and mastered by Jamie Hyland (M(h)aol). with vocals contributed by the artists. All instrumentals were performed and recorded by Alan in his home, and rehearsal studio in Dublin, Ireland. with vocals being recorded in a mix of places – NYC, London, and Manchester (sometimes in studios, sometimes in the artists homes).
