From Disco to Techno – The Story of Fragmnt 

Born with country roots and a restless creative soul, Ashley Finessi (Fragmnt) channels raw emotion and connection through music. What began as curiosity has evolved into a deep devotion —a lifelong dialogue between rhythm, energy, and the human spirit.

 His journey truly began in the UK, where a small DJ competition became the spark that lit an obsession. Nights in Norwich’s underground clubs shaped his sound — hypnotic, melodic, and deeply human. The dancefloor became his sanctuary, a place where stories unfold without words.

Returning to Australia, Fragmnt found his tribe within Perth’s thriving electronic scene. His sets weave between the sensual pull of melodic house, the drive of progressive, and the pulse of techno fluid, immersive, and always connected to the moment. 

He has shared the stage with icons like Guy J, Patrice Bäumel, Khen, Mariano Mellino, Ezequiel Arias, GMJ & Matter, Dosem, and Funkform, Jamie Stevens, Emi Galvan — artists whose soundscapes mirror his own journey through emotion and groove. 

As the founder and curator of BIOMA, Fragmnt extends his artistry beyond performance — crafting spaces where sound, connection, and culture intertwine. 

Each set is a narrative — a slow burn that builds, breathes, and unfolds. 

Fragmnt doesn’t just play music; he tells stories through frequencies, guiding listeners through deep textures, subtle tension, and transcendent release. 

Expect the unexpected. Feel the connection. Lose yourself in the Fragmet’s of sound.

Shannon attended her first rave in 1993 & was instantly hooked. Her early days were spent on Perth dance floors at Buzz Bar, DC’s, Krush, Geisha, Aqua, and Frost Bites, soaking up the energy of a scene that would shape her for life. Those nights sparked a lifelong love for music, & the  underground community. 

She eventually followed the music to the UK, where she lived in London through the early 2000s and bought her first pair of Technics 1210s. Weekends were spent crate-digging for vinyl and exploring iconic venues like Bedrock, Renaissance, The Cross, Fabric, & Camden Palace, fully immersed in the progressive and trance sounds of that era. She never played publicly back then, just mixed for fun and for the love of it.

After moving home to Perth to raise her family, life shifted focus, but the passion for music never faded. Two decades later, Shanwa began sharing what had always been part of her. She’s started carving her path in Perth’s underground scene, DJing at Blossom, Blazing Swan (TBC and Funbrella theme camps), Pachamama’s Disconnect to Reconnect, Earthdance, Noise Contour’s Viking bush doof, & Above All Else, where she opened for MOS. 

A familiar face long before stepping back behind the decks, Shanwa has thrown herself into the community, helping with door and gate duties & creating/painting artworks for Bioma’s Full Circle festivals. Her love of music, dedication & creativity earned her the recent title of resident DJ for Bioma events, with a growing list of gigs and collaborations in the works. She has also made a guest appearance on RTRFM’s Loony Choons earlier in the year. She has made a guest appearance on RTRFM’s Loony Choons & was invited to join the Red Ginger Music team ahead of summer, with many regular gigs she’s looking forward to.

Her sets drift between styles with ease, tied together by her love of deep, melodic, & progressive sounds, Shanwa reads the room intuitively & delivers sets that connect. With an upcoming Bioma/Above All Else collaboration event supporting Ezequiel Arias, she continues to grow as both an artist and a contributor to a scene that’s always felt like home.
