Its apt for ASOY to call his new E.P ‘Anayen’, meaning ‘Rebirth’ in Greek… This is the Cypriot artist’s return to the scene after a handful of experimental releases since 2016 and a period away from production. His return is marked by a stunning new two-tracker with the debut release on the newly formed Jack Said What’s sub-label Jack Dubs, out on 4th Oct.
As an already seasoned producer and globetrotting DJ, ASOY returns with a flurry of fresh, new, and innovative underground electronic music for 23/24. Pushing his great production philosophy of ‘less is more’ in reaction to what he calls the dominance of ‘CO2’ music, he puts forward the notion that a DJ does not have to fill their sets with those predictable intense build-ups, crescendos, and drops but instead, as an alternative, can weave emotive, sophisticated and rolling beats together that build organically.
Here ‘Chasershade’ is the second track from his new E.P. This is a fierce and effective dancefloor DJ tool — it’s deep, driving, dark house music, designed for that peak-time flow and full of chemical energy. Heavy bass and low-end prevail with the hypnotic acapella plucked from an excerpt by David Mancuso of NYC Loft parties fame.
Release date: October 4th, 2023.
