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.

TECHNO & ACID RAVE
@tommytraxrecords

Jay Tommy is believed to be the one to watch amongst the new breed of techno artists from the UK, creating a sound that combines the pounding acid warehouse with the deep and melodic, heavily influenced by the underground rave scene. 

His progress has taken years of dedication in the studio and mentoring under the innovative Mark EG at his renowned music school, resulting in an instantly recognisable sound of techno and acid. 

Since an early age, Jay has been performing with the biggest artists in techno. Having made his FOLD debut at the age of twenty-one, performing an emotional and explosive set with the king of acid techno D.A.V.E. The Drummer at the legendary London club, leaving a packed dance floor craving more. Now a regular at parties in the capital with his energy building sets, having shared the decks with the likes of Perc, Slam, Annē, Angy Kore & Gabriel Padrevita and more. 

This was followed in 2023 by his first UK festival appearance at Boomtown in Area 404, performing a high-energy acid-techno set alongside some of the best underground artists in the scene. Although some know him for his high octane sounds, his versatility is shown when supporting major artists, with his ability to adapt making him stand out from the crowd.

In spite of his young age, Jay has already released music on some of the biggest labels in techno. His main highlight so far has been the collaboration ‘Movement EP’ with Mark EG on the mighty Hydraulix at the start of 2023, with the release enjoying chart success in hard techno. This has been followed by collaboration requests to work with more heavyweight producers on prestigious labels, so listen out for those exhibited at upcoming events in the near future.

Alongside performing and producing music, Jay runs his own dark techno and acid label, Tommy Trax, which was founded in 2019. Tommy Trax has provided the perfect platform to experiment with his own unique sound and has already attracted the attention of the big hitters in techno. This has also given Jay the chance to collaborate with some huge artists, no more so than on the ‘Delete EP’ in 2021 with Dino Maggiorana, propelling the label into the spotlight of the underground rave community. The start of 2022 has seen the ‘Renaissance EP’ with Roentgen Limiter and Ayako Mori played by some of the scene’s most respected names, like Parfait, deservedly enjoying hard techno chart success at the same time. 

At the end of the same year, the ‘Intoxication EP’ by ROBPM, Nusha and Jay Tommy exploded onto the late night dance floors, with support from T78, Ben Dust, Lessss and more. The pinnacle moment when ROBPM dropped the main track at the huge Affenkäfig Festival in Germany. His final success of the year came when Jay’s rework of his original track ‘Hidden Addiction’ was supported by Nusha on her world tours.

As the hype increases over the coming years, it will be interesting to see how his music ascends into the global scene and shakes the late night dance floors. It’s clear that Jay Tommy will influence musical trends with his own unique take on the warehouse rave.
