Will U B Mine (Rise Ashen Remix)

Amazing old album I bought while I was in Cuba... Was such a fun adventure wandering through the streets of Havana looking for the little store that sold records and everything else... This is my favorite song on the album, had to straighten it out a bit so I could mix it in the club... Hope you love it as much as I do...

Los Karachi - Si Quiere Que Te Respeten Date A Respetar - Rise Ashen Remix

Amazing track I got to remix for Mixed Signals

Chris Hercules Ft Gina Penssi - Creed Of House - Rise Ashen Remix

Push The Light (Rise Ashen Remix)

Ashen re-works 'Red White And Mali' into a smoke-filled, dub-infused, downtempo groove fest. 

Red white and Mali (Rise Ashen mix)

Remix of brilliant Ugandan Artist Geoffrey Oryema.  I had made a bootleg remix of this song in 2001 and when Louie Vega started playing it, my friends Mike Fu Fresco and Jojo Flores at Gotsoul Records managed to get us the parts and license a bunch of remixes.   Trevor Walker and I made this remix with the parts we got, and we had our friend Stephane Vera (Teknostep) play some Rhodes on it... This version never came out but it's my favorite... Enjoy!

Deep remix of Dubmatix' track Lockdown featuring the amazing Ammoye... Spiritual anthem to open your third eye! Enjoy and share far and wide!

Dubmatix - Lockdown Ft Ammoye - Rise Ashen Remix

Here's an old one I came across, something I did almost 15 years ago, one of my favorite songs and favorite Sly and Robbie dubs... Straightened it out and added percussion, kicks and saxophone, was something I played extensively and it even ended up out on wax on the Dub Fu label out of Montreal... Love this chune...

Black Uhuru - Shine Eyed Gyal -  Sly and Robbie Shine Eye Dub - Rise Rub 2002

The first collaboration Rise Ashen & I worked on together which came out on "Easy Breezy" back in 2002.
The 12" is still floating around out there.
Was a lot of fun getting to know Rise's genius in the studio for the first time on this one!
Hope you enjoy the result!

Roy Ayers - 3rd Eye (Ashen&Walker 4rs Tribute Remix)

Was digitizing some vinyl the other day and came upon this record... A set of 3 remixes I made for Wikkid Records ten years ago.  Big love to JM Paige and RCola for letting me get it out into the world, still sounds pretty fresh to me :-)

Aiwa - Dioud - Rise Ashen Remix - Wikkid Records

Katalyst 5 - 2 Lovers - Rise Ashen 4-20 Remix

So proud to be presenting this amazing track I had the pleasure of remixing for the incredible Toronto indie musicians LAL (Rosina Kazi and Nick Murr).... Over the last 20 years I have had the pleasure of opening up and playing along side these amazing cats and I was so stoked to collaborate with them on this.   They are truly one of Canada's unsung heroes of soulful deep eclectic club music... Andy Roberts from Mixed Signals Music Toronto released this one in 2013 and I am super stoked he has allowed me to get it back out there now...  Thanks Andy! Enjoy!

Just a mashup I have been playing of a traditional Inuit throat song performed by Annie Ikkidluak that was on an album made by the amazing Francois Couture with a great record that came out on Guidance Records in 2001...  Soundclash :-)

Came across this track the other day and it took me back to 2007, hard to believe it's been ten years... Made this with my man Stephane Lefrancois when we were both living in Ottawa, Kind Sunshine was an amazing band run by Marc Shapiro out of Toronto... it featured a slew of amazing musicians over the years... Felt so blessed to get to make this mix with my homie Steflef and it never got released though I have played it at countless parties over the years...  I got in touch with Marc whom I came across again recently at Unity Hip Hop Festival in TO last summer and he gave me the blessing to give it away, so here you are!

Unreleased

King Sunshine - Sounds of June - Rise Ashen and Steflef Remix

So honored to get to be a aprt of the remixes for Bardo (Andrew McPherson - Eccodek)'s new project... This song hit me hard when I first heard it...  It's a bittersweet ironic testament to the art we make.  To playing for 4 walls and the bartender... To devoting your life to an artform that has changed so much in the last 15 years... Really spoke to my soul...  Did cuts on this one which is rare and a throwback for me... Hope you dig...

2017

Bardo - Audience of None - Rise Ashen Soul Stirring Symphony Mix

Fell upon the amazing Eivør Pálsdóttir and this incredible performance which you can watch on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpiFmZLICgM along with 3.5 Million other people who have watched this.   Chopped it up so I could play it, added a really old-school hip hop beat, pretty minimal really what I did to it, but the result's like nothing I have ever heard before and it gets great reactions when I play it out... Hope you dig!

Also included are the Ancient Astronauts instrumental and a special bonus instrumental version of "Alekuban" from the album. Enjoy!
