| Biog A DJ since the age of fourteen, Danish born Asle (born Asle Bjørn) was inspired and encouraged by his musical family. Asle mastered the flute by age nine before adding guitar, drums and piano to his repertoire. Asle is a child of the acid house era and put his classical training to use within the synthesized world of electronic music. The combination of raw talent and passion for dance music has resulted in an impressive rise to prominence within the global dance scene. Stand out releases for some of the coolest house labels around including Cr2, Size and Yoshitoshi have cemented Asles reputation as one of the best around at creating a cool but accessible sound placing him in the same league of “turn to guy” as Seamus Haji, Steve Angello and Raul Rincon. These skills have led to invitations to work with labels such as Sony, Universal, Positiva, Ministry Of Sound, Southern Fried, London to provide remixes for frontline acts including New Order, Luther Vandross, Nickleback, The Source ft Candi Stanton and Funky Green Dogs. Asle has twice been no. 1 on the DMCUpdate Buzzchart (Full Blown “Some Kinda Freak, Asle “Golden Sun”) With a strong production portfolio secured Asle has spent the last three years developing his own Blow Out Records label in to the main outlet for his music. The culmination of this journey is the release of his debut artist album, My Places. It is clear from the first listen of My Places that this is a piece of work that is as close to a pitch perfect cross-over dance album as you could ask for. Asle has stepped up his game, by fusing pop-standard song writing and radio friendly production with a beautiful and subtle sonic palette. “My War”, the first single off the album, is a fantastic example of Asle’s magic touch. Big room ravers and daytime radio listeners will all be enchanted by the combination of Engelina Andrina’s emotive, heart-felt vocal and Asle’s understated but euphoric melodies, all set to a unique sounding deep-trance-house backing track. Coming up over the summer 2009 Asle has releases lined up with CR2 and Pool-E music. A 2009 vocal version of hit classic “Golden Sun” is due to hit Ibiza and the rest of the worlds beaches. And one of the most played tracks at this years WMC, Full Blown “Elsa’s Anthem”. |
