I had a blast playing this DJ/live hybrid set at Movement Music festival in Detroit. This set was performed using Traktor, Maschine and Guitar Rig by Native Instruments, an Allen & Heath Xone K2 for looping and effects control, and mixed on my favorite board - the PlayDifferently Model 1. Hope you enjoy it!

Aphotic Relics 002:
Asher Perkins - Live at Aphotic Techno Afterhours (29.11.2014) - 8:30AM

Aphotic Relics are documentations of artistic expression occurring beyond the reach of light. This music series features exclusive live recordings of performances from deep within the Brooklyn New York underground movement.

"Detroit's Asher Perkins lit up the dance floor with a blistering set for our Aphotic Brooklyn Techno Afterhours Thanksgiving weekend. Recently signed to MINUS, his first EP under the label was released earlier this year. The EP features the track, "Aphotic" which was inspired by the weekend spent in Brooklyn with us. We are honored by this gesture and are happy to share this live set with you!"

Asher Perkins @ Aphotic Techno Afterhours Brooklyn, New York

The “Anti-Normal” EP is inspired by moments that happen at parties and clubs. The moment when the vibe is so intense that your skin tingles (Anti-Normal). The moment when everything feels a bit...weird (No Sitting). The moment when your friend gets lost in the party and starts acting a little ridiculous (It’s Fucking Bumping in Here, Dude). The moment when you lose your ego in a pitch-black warehouse (Aphotic). And finally, the moment when you fall in love… and the moment when it all goes wrong (Dancing With A Demon).

Darkly lush at times, and mischievously playful at others, the EP pays homage to classic Detroit techno while remaining fresh, modern and unique. Through careful synthesis, Asher has crafted an otherworldly soundscape, ensuring that the individual personalities of each layer are distinctively showcased. The breakdowns are meditative, playfully embracing the absence of sound. The sparsity often gives the illusion of an alteration in rhythm, causing the listener to feel as though they are free falling. When the intensity returns, a sonic adrenaline rush fills the dance floor with a feeling of absolute euphoria.

In Asher’s words, “Anti-Normal, more than a synonym for abnormal, describes an active aversion to normalcy. In my experience, the best people are those who confidently enjoy their own quirks… Those who aren’t afraid to be looked at as a little different. Especially within the world of dance music, I think it’s important to push the envelope as far as possible, both musically and otherwise.”

I'm happy to share my set from Loop 2, at Detroit's Works club on August 5, 2017. The atmosphere at this party was as any good techno party should be; Wacky, dark and playful. I like to think this recording reflects that. :)
