Ashley Casselle
Ashley Casselle sprang into action in the early nineties with singles and remixes as Daydreemer, recording and remixing for labels such as Guerilla and Brute which led to remixes for DMC such as the balearic breakbeat sounds of Chris Issac's Wicked Game.
Around this time fellow Hastings homeboy John Digweed offered him a gig in the alternative room at Bedrock, which gave Ashley the chance to play anything from dub, funk, soundtracks, house and breakbeats, this led to gigs on Sasha and Digweed's Northern Exposure tours and regular appearances at Bedrock for the next few years.
A residency at Stuart Patterson's deep house club Rivera followed which is where Ashley developed his dancefloor drive and built his groove awareness. At around this time his productions as Ashtrax were signed to Deviant Records where his remix of Paul van Dyk's 'For an Angel' became a dubby breakbeat classic.
After Paul Van Dyk invited Ashley to play in Berlin and at Gatecrasher, Casselle was granted a residency at the Sheffield club, his long twisting grooveathon sets being the ideal start to the night for the Northern colorful clubbers, he then began touring with the Global Soundsystem playing everywhere from China to Brazil.
He now plays regularly, holding down regular appearances at clubs such as London's Heaven and The Cross, as well as DJing for his favorite international clubs like Giant in Los Angeles, Spundae in San Francisco and Colors in Glasgow and playing at his favorites such as Underlounge in Osaka and Global Underground parties in Singapore as well as his new residency at Sheffield's Bed in England, he manages to blend funky house with breaks and techno progressively in his unique and stimulating style, his Deviations and Response mix compilations, recent Essential Mix and of course work as Ashtrax have helped him foster a loyal following.
As Ashtrax, alongside production partner James Christopher, he has had a string of successful singles such as Helsinki and Digital Reason, along with well received remixes for labels such as Lost Language, Automatic and Distinctive Breaks which have further helped define their sound Ashtrax manage to blend breakbeats and spacey house along with their love of sublime melodies and twisted production with the addition of Ben Lost on vocals their sound is forever shifting and evolving and they are now recording their debut album, a new offshoot project, Casselle and Christopher is an alias for their Housey tunes and a single 'Midnight Sun' has recently been released on Fuju / Junior.0
