A*S*Y*S - Bio:

A*S*Y*S aka Frank Ellrich has been a frequent player on the global scene since 2000. His revolutionary studio productions, ranging from dark acid odysseys to driving hard funky floor fillers continue to set dance floors ablaze the world over! He has also performed at some of the most prolific music festivals and events in the world. From Time Warp to Mysteryland, and EDC to Tomorrowland, he has covered more than 20 countries across five continents. His music shares a vision for the techno progressive, and harder genres, which is equal parts euphoric and energetic whilst laced with his signature pounding groove and acid undertones. His music has influenced entire genres through his career at Tracid Traxxx and his own label “Fe Records”.
While he has sought innovation throughout his career, he always stayed true to his passion which is the ultimate dynamic energy combined with the one element that makes the difference: acid has been the soul of A*S*Y*S until today. In Summer 2018, Frank founded Fe Chrome with a clear vision on how to enrich and inspire the techno scene. The 4th release (A*S*Y*S - The Acid) already climbed to #1 of the Beatport Techno Top 100 charts (overall charts #3) and held its position for 6 weeks.
Within one year only, Fe Chrome has become no. 7 of the best selling techno labels (Beatstats). A*S*Y*S meanwhile gained more than 30 mio plays on Spotify and heaps of top five tracks on Beatport's Techno Charts. Recently his new single "Verknipt Nochmal" (on his brand new sub label Chrome Red) hit the no1 hard techno charts again.

Currently considered as one of a few pioneers for the new era of Hard Techno music, Steve Shaden marked the Techno and Hard Techno scene worldwide with countless productions that brought to him success and acclamation from colleagues and the public.

His productions are characterized by very aggressive kicks and basses, modern grooves, and a strong influence from the early sounds of hardstyle, hard trance, and progressive techno from the early 90s.

Graduated in music production and sound engineering and a teacher within the same subject, Steve got his music supported by artists like Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Carl Cox, Charlotte De Witte, Chris Liebing, Dax J, Ellen Alien, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Sam Paganini, as well as played in the major world festivals ranging from Awakenings to Tomorrowland and the Kappa Future Festival to name a few.

After releasing on world-famous labels within the Techno and Hard Techno panorama, Steve entered in 2014 to the Beatport TOP100 Hard Techno artists. Shortly following his debut he started to rise through the ranks where he found himself at the top of the list in 2018.  

In the same year, he was also awarded the title of best Hard Techno producer by the famous German magazine “Faze Magazine”, cementing him as an international symbol of this music genre.

Alongside the recording and engineering business, since 2014 to date, he has played in 15 different countries, spreading his sound in the most prestigious clubs throughout Europe, as well as performing exclusive DJ sets for FM radios all over the world.
Among the latter, we remember his participation in the "KNTXT invites" by Charlotte De Witte, aired in May 2019 on the Belgian radio Stu Bru.

Today Steve also runs also a Sound mastering studio and two successful record labels, EXE, and LEVEL. Finally, he also collaborates with the German school SINEE as a sound designer.

In order to understand what all this means... you just need to listen!

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.

My name is Mickey, a.k.a Mickon-A. I'm from Israel.  In each set I try to draw a line from start to end, you might call it storytelling.. I usually play new tracks, few weeks old, and travel between Progressive Techno to Ethereal Techno. Always aiming for a good ride.. 😍
