Profile GeneratorSubb-an, aka Ashique, was born in 87’ and hails from Birmingham, UK.
Like many youngsters of his generation, Ash’s interest in electronic music began in his teens. Having no idea how to use his first set of decks, purchased with a small amount of cash at the tender age of 12, he gradually began to buy records and listen to a broad spectrum of music, the sounds of detroit techno and house music having particular effect on him.
Teaching himself to mix from scratch via trial and error, Ash soon became curious about the world of production. Setting out to learn methods that would see him begin to cultivate a wealth of samples to define his own aural identity, Ash’s musical education was highlighted by the study of Sound and Multimedia at the University of Central England.
As ever, Ash’s inquisitive nature let to the development of a variety of live sets, landing him a residency at Birmingham’s respected ‘Below’. Known for it’s ever inspiring atmosphere and a finger firmly on the pulse, Below’s line-ups have enabled Ash to grow as an artist, supporting the likes of Mobilee artists Anja Schneider, Sebo K and Ralf Kollmann, girl-wonder Dinky and the UK’s own Jamie Jones and Clive Henry. Appearances at London’s The End, T-bar and Technique in Leeds, have ensured that Ash’s talent has not been confined to the West Midlands.??The 2008 release of Italia on Leftroom, having received accolades from M8, Mixmag, and IDJ, has gained support from some of the leading names in the industry, with his productions being played by Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Paul Woolford and Luciano to name but a few.
The latest signing to Immigrant records, 'The Corridors Of Life', released in May 2008 has support from Josh Wink, Loco Dice, Solomun, Jimpster and Soul Designer and will surely see this becoming Ash’s year , the fruits of his efforts to be rewarded with several planned releases and remixes.
Confirmed for billing on coveted line-ups alongside Jamie Anderson and Jamie Jones, Loco Dice and the Mobilee crew, as well as summer dates in Barcelona with Jay Haze and Michael Ho, Below's 'Like Minded' Festival in Croatia and an additional residency with Immigrant’s T-bar parties, Ash’s talent is certainly one to monitor.
