DJ since 1994, Based in Cardiff Wales

Ive been into house/dance music in one form or another since the early 90s firstly as a fan and self confessed Raver. 

In 1994 I bought my first set of dex and taught myself how to mix.

Over the next few years I found myself playing at a host of local bars before setting up my own event in 1999.

This event saw the ‘FunkyDory DJ’s’ collective win numerous Welsh Dance Music awards and establish ourselves as ‘the place to be’ before heading off to the clubs.

Our accolades include being voted Wales’ Best Pre-club Bar two years running, with residencies at all Cardiff’s main events. Playing for the like of Time Flies, Lamerica, Bionic, ROAR & Enter the Dragon, to name but a few.

Residencies over the years inc FunkyDory South Wales & West, Radio Cardiff 98.7fm Cardiff, The Vanilla Rooms Cardiff, Lamerica Cardiff, Time Flies Cardiff , Bionic Cardiff , Cool House Cardiff Casa Fiesta Cardiff The Hippo Club Cardiff, Enter the Dragon Cardiff, Gatecrasher Cardiff, Cream Cardiff, Escape Cardiff & Swansea, The Model Inn Cardiff, PooNaNa Cardiff, Mi Casa Cardiff, Indigo Swansea, Cro Bar Swansea, Bar Med Cheltenham

Most memorable gigs inc Radio 1’s Big weekend Cardiff & warming up
for the legend Graeme Park @ Mi Casa Cardiff. 
Other memorable gigs include warming up for Paul Oakenfold, John Kelly & Jon of the Pleased Women @ the Enter the Dragon Reunion Party's Cardiff, warming up for Madam Friction @ the breakfast club Penarth and hosting our own monthly backroom @ nights such as Lamerica, Bionic and Enter the Dragon.

Most influential of all - Playing alongside local legends Oli Jaye & Shane Morris in my 1st ever live performance in front of a REAL crowd @
The Hippo Club Cardiff – 1996 seems sooo long ago now.

I recently lost all of my back catalogue live & Studio mixes in a fatal Hard Drive incident and im currently looking to refill my profile with all new mixes...

Thanks for showing an interest and please feel free to PM me with any questions, bookings or general chat & if you happen to have any of my old mixes floating about PLEASE forward me a copy to re-build my back cat after losing a whole load of mixes through the years. 

Thanks everyone

Hard Beat Asylum is an outlet for Kashi, to express himself creatively. After dominating the reverse bass scene with partner James Swankie, Hard best Asylum is a platform to get some of his more experimental ideas out there,directly through his own online shop.
Expect anything from 160bpm Hardstyle to hard electro to hard house.
Having been into harder styles of dance music for 16yrs, Kashi has been there from the beginning.He started playing hard house,Uk hard dance in the glory days,before gradually shifting to Italian Hardstyle. Massively influenced by the golden era of Hardstyle back in the early 2000's.
S&K got together and have played every major event in the UK and Ireland,narrowly missing Australia (we wont mention that).S&K have made their own sound and plan to continue,but with HBA adding a new dimension and fresh ideas in the studio.It can safely be said that the sole purpose of setting the new label up was to produce quality harder edged music and get it out there as soon as possible,so why not set up your own online  shop (Currently under construction).The future is exciting and Kashi hopes this new outlet swell as S&K Recordings can make a positive impact for the scene, and music he loves.
