BIO : 
Meelk is the sublimation of the mind through music: an expression of motions through a cathartic work, a singularity taking its essence through a multitude of sound universes.

Passionate about sound design, he has gradually developed and cultivated an atypical sound identity thanks to an analogical and hypnotic sound, powerful, sometimes dark, sometimes luminous. 
Between Bass Music aesthetics, Experimental and Cinematic influences, he defies conventions and tries to write his own tale of modern electronic music.

In December 2018, he releases his first album "The Birth" on Hadra Altervision Records and starts touring in various parties and festivals.
In 2020, he offers us several releases and an emotionally charged EP called "Catharsis PT.1".

A second album is currently being composed. Meelk continues to deepen his narrative path: "On this album, I aim to put more emphasis on the cinematic and storytelling side. Currently in the sound research phase, I wish to explore other musical horizons while keeping my identity.

When he is not busy composing music for the stage Meelk also work into composing music for video projects.

We are all connected through the same frequency.

Askata : A Journey Through Sound and Freedom

The tracks presented here are the result of collaborations with artists, friends, and musical encounters that have shaped my project.

Askata: A Quest for Musical Freedom

The name Askata is derived from the Basque word Askatasuna, meaning Freedom.
Freedom is precisely what drives Askata when he plays his electronic percussion alongside various artists.

From Dub to High-Tech, through Psytrance, Acid Techno, and Full-On, he seamlessly adapts to the complex and unpredictable rhythms of his fellow musicians. Nothing is pre-planned, nothing is written in advance—his performances are a direct response to the atmosphere, the energy of the place, and the connection with his co-performers.

Each set becomes a unique musical journey, translated live into improvised and semi-acoustic music.
He primarily plays with Roland HPD-15 and HPD-20, modern electronic percussion instruments, digital avatars of classical percussion.

Blending Electronic and Acoustic for a New Dancefloor Experience
A lifelong percussion enthusiast, Askata is dedicated to fusing the raw energy of acoustic sound with the power of electronic music, crafting dancefloors that resonate with tribal and ethnic vibrations.

Présentation d’Askata :

L’ensemble des morceaux présentés ici sont le fruit de collaborations avec des artistes, des amis et des rencontres musicales qui ont façonné mon projet.

-Askata : Une quête de liberté musicale-

Le nom Askata est une abréviation du mot basque Askatasuna, qui signifie Liberté.
C’est cette quête de liberté qui guide Askata lorsqu’il joue de ses percussions électroniques aux côtés d’artistes variés.

Du Dub à la High-Tech, en passant par la Psytrance, l'Acid Techno ou encore la Full-On, il s’adapte aux rythmes complexes et imprévisibles de ses partenaires de scène. Rien n’est figé, rien n’est écrit à l’avance : ses performances sont une réponse directe à l’ambiance, à l’énergie du lieu et à la synergie avec les musiciens qui l’accompagnent.

Chaque set devient alors une aventure musicale unique, retranscrite en live à travers une musique improvisée et semi-acoustique.
Il joue principalement avec des HPD-15 et HPD-20 de chez Roland, des percussions électroniques modernes, véritables avatars numériques des instruments de percussion classiques.

Unir l’électronique et l’acoustique pour réinventer le dancefloor

Passionné de percussions depuis toujours, Askata cherche aujourd’hui à fusionner l’énergie brute de l’acoustique avec la puissance du numérique, créant ainsi des dancefloors aux sonorités plus ethniques et tribales.

-2016-2017 : Il collabore avec Opale pour une tournée chill-out ethnique, jouant sur les scènes des plus grands festivals trance :
HADRA Festival 2016 (France)
Boom Festival 2016 (Portugal)
Atman Festival 2017 (Sri Lanka)

-2018 : Il cofonde Ordures Passagères, un groupe de punk aux textes engagés, avec Low Filter.

-2018 : Il lance Gnaman Koudji, un projet de Tekno tribale, avec Stanimals.

I am a DJ born in Barcelona. SlowLo elegant style and close to lively sound, deeper and richer in nuances. I adopted native rhythms and melodies that fuse ethnic instruments with contemporary electronic music. Punch hypnotic sessions, 4x4 and double HiT.
