Synopsis
This session documents Mac Hues recording live on set for AYMSK’s latest collection, The First Layer.
Rather than focusing on performance or release, the intention was to capture the recording process itself, the moments where experiences are spoken and committed to tape. The emphasis is on process over outcome, and on allowing space for stories to surface naturally.
The First Layer
The First Layer represents a foundation for what AYMSK is becoming.
The collection is more restrained in form, while still carrying the same fingerprint of process, imperfection, and failure that has always defined the brand. It marks a shift towards an everyday uniform.
This project exists to show that the ethos of AYMSK extends beyond clothing, into how we collaborate, how we document, and how we create space for other creative practices to exist alongside our own.
Why Mac Hues?
Mac Hues approaches music from a place of instinct and heritage. A producer, pianist, and recording artist based in Peckham, South London, his relationship with sound began early, growing up in a musical family where creativity was part of daily life. Since childhood, he has been surrounded by instruments, rhythms, and the quiet discipline that comes from learning music from the ground up.
That foundation is present in the way he builds his work today. Mac’s process blends musicianship with modern production, moving between keys, melody, and arrangement with ease. His ear is guided as much by feeling as it is by structure, allowing him to shape records that feel textured, considered, and emotionally grounded.
What connects us to Mac is that same commitment to craft. Like our own process, his work develops through patience and repetition rather than urgency. The result is music that feels deliberate and personal, a reflection of someone who has been immersed in sound for as long as he can remember.
