The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

South London’s DJ Counselling, aka Ash Arnold, is known for creating hand-played rhythms with an original approach to groove. Being part of the electronic dance scene for over 20 years, Ash has worn many hats: producer, remixer, DJ, record label owner, band leader and, first and foremost, drummer. First surfacing as DJ Counselling with his debut single “Pollard’s Thrill” in 2018, Ash uses real instruments and live recording techniques with analogue synthesisers to create deep, atmospheric music that is as uplifting as it is emotive.

Whether in his home studio in London or mobile studio in Berlin, Ash explains how he knows he’s onto something special “when it doesn’t feel like the music is coming from me anymore. For a moment, I get so lost in what I’m creating that I hear it as though someone else is making it.” The DJ Counselling project gathered momentum in 2020 with lauded releases “Every Day the Sun Comes Up”, “Cool Air” and “Wide Awake in an Open Space”, which drew fans like Tom Ravenscroft and Jungle.

With DJ Counselling, Ash doesn’t intend to deliver big club hits but rather creates music that reflects his mood or location at the time of writing. Nonetheless, his music is hugely popular on the dancefloor; being played by the likes of Richie Hawtin and Bonobo. Esteemed for his eclecticism and versatility, Ash brings the club to the concert hall, and vice versa, with his ever-evolving live performances. Expect percussion instruments, classical sensibilities, and complex analogue synths being given equal attention on stage.

DJ Counselling’s new album, Alt-Mobeat, underscores Ash’s symphonic craftsmanship and esteem as a musician. It is difficult to place DJ Counselling into a specific genre. From tracks like “Cool Air”, one of Spotify’s Best Electronic Songs of 2021, to his latest works, Ash has never tried to fit himself into a box. Instead, he applies an emotional connection to everything he creates, with a strong groove always being the main focus.

remabookings@gmail.com My Debut Album, Rave & Roses out now.

Kiala Ogawa has grown and developed the music that has accompanied her since childhood.

Being the daughter of one of the Fela Kuti great guitarists and a Japanese mother, she was brought up with Afrobeat from an early age but also with traditional and eclectic Japanese culture.

She first made a name for herself with the duo Kodäma, that she forms alongside Thomas Hugenel, in which she knew how to combine this unique mix through compositions as well as singing.

Kiala also had the opportunity to collaborate alone on several French and international projects, in particular alongside the conductor Uèle Lamore for the "Série Mania" project as a keyboardist, or even as a singer with the Japanese group Soil and Pimp Session for their album Dapper in 2018.

Sponsored by Bradley Zero, Laurent Garnier and Gilles Peterson, on her solo project, the artist invites us to gliding trips, sailing between ambient, pop with trip-hop accents and broken beat. »

Record label for ravers, curated by @roni_nza

Demos: nehzarecords@gmail.com

Relentless raver and Rinse France resident RONI launched her first imprint Nehza Records in 2021.

Naming the label after the animated film ‘Nezha Conquers The Dragon King’ by Wang Shuchen published in 1979, the mythical tale resonates with RONI on both personal and artistic levels. 

With an attitude that questions social constructs and inflated authority, RONI’s vision for Nehza Records poses questions about our natural environment through the medium of sound. 

Combining elements of sound with the fantastical flourishes of Suchen’s film, Nehza Records is about raising awareness of our connexion to nature and how we need to protect the Earth.
