Kassian w/ Asa Tate AKA Tech Support - May 2022

Tracklist & Interview here: bit.ly/3wJQo0s

Artist Info:
With a growing stack of heralded EPs and a long list of aliases, dabbling in all facets of electronic dance, Tech Support stands amongst some of the most prolific DJs and producers out there. Yet despite a vigorous work ethic the young artist still maintains a sense of playfulness and irreverence in his work, demonstrated by his tongue-in-cheek curation of communist memes and quippy referential track names (‘That Record With Friends On It’ ring any bells?). Combining lashings of house euphoria, mind-melting chug, dirty basement disco, obscure italo and more, Tech Support is primed and ready to send you offworld to a strange yet familiar place of feel good, immersive dance music. And it’s not just dancefloor clientele that have been captured by these far-out frequencies, gaining support from the likes of Mixmag, Rinse FM, Houseum and fellow artists Black Loops, Late Nite Tuff Guy, and Dan Shake on a number of productions and mixes.

Releasing both digitally and on 12” wax you can find his work immortalised on a number of labels including Nocturne, Silver Bear Recordings, Together Alone Records, plus dive deeper still into his wealth of self-released edits and re-imaginings of iconic club tracks, each more infectious than the last. Alongside his talents as a producer Tech Support has moulded himself into an impressive crate digger and DJ too, cutting his teeth through deep, explorative sets and regular radio residencies at spaces like Mick’s Garage and stations like 1BTN, Threads, Netil, SWU FM and current monthly home Balamii respectively. Out on the festival circuit Tech Support has played stages on both home soil and overseas via Alfresco Festival in Tunbridge Wells to Defected in Croatia, and Tenby’s Westival to Solas in Dublin. Known for his effortless and intricate sets, Tech Support’s record bag is forever deep and his creative mind always ticking; equally comfortable locked in a disco groove or deftly joining the dots between sonic obscurities like darkwave and italo, he’s an artist capable of fully expressing himself unbounded by the limits of conventional genre narratives.

Tracklist & Interview

Asa Tate @ Chicago Calling #130 - United Kingdom

Tech Support always finds a groove in everything he touches. Be that through his DJ sets, mixes or his own productions, there's a rhythmic fluidity and depth that always guides his way.

He never confines himself to one sound or style but there's a distinct nod to the 80s in his influences and output; be assured you'll find lashings of Italo, vintage darkwave, euphoric house and slo mo chug when he's behind the decks or laying it down in the studio.

His work rate as a producer has been on the up over the last few years. If he's not sharing his solo work, which has formed releases for Nocturne, Together Alone, Futureboogie, Silver Bear and, most recently Ano Ano, he's crafting his own self-released edits and reworks of legendary new beat, new wave and Italo Disco tracks like 'Burning Down The House', 'Je Suit Passee' and 'Drop The Deal'. Lately he's been making music under another alias, Asa Tate, with a track penned for this year's Rhythm Section SHOUTS compilation. 

For his Shine A Light On mix, he dives into the sounds we've come to know him for: there's revving Italo, hypnotic Goa, groovy acid not acid and dusty progressive trance. Dig in...

Tech Support: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

SOLACE SPACE 007 ✼ @asatatemusic (@tech-supportuk)

A mix that has been coming for nearly a year, London based DJ and producer Asa Tate steps up to provide a stunning power hour of house, prog & 90s tech house. Commonly known under his Tech Support moniker, Asa Tate explores faster, more grooving sounds than his usual downtempo Italo style. 

"Recorded back in July in the midst of that blistering heatwave I figured I'd put together some bits and pieces that had been getting rinsed on the sticks at my sets, leaning heavily into the more up tempo high energy side of house and techno. Old and new, all killer no filler."

Counterterraism Guest Mix 280: Tech Support

Tech Support is London-based producer Ned Dickinson, who has released music on labels including Futureboogie, Nocturne and Dansu Discs. He also operates under the guise of Asa Tate. He never confines himself to one sound or style but there’s a distinct nod to the 80s in his influences and output; be assured you’ll find lashings of Italo, vintage darkwave, euphoric house and slo mo chug when he’s behind the decks or laying it down in the studio.
 
His work rate as a producer has been on the up over the last few years. If he’s not sharing his solo work, which has formed releases for Nocturne, Together Alone, Futureboogie, Silver Bear and, most recently Ano Ano, he’s crafting his own self-released edits and reworks of legendary new beat, new wave and Italo Disco tracks like ‘Burning Down The House’, ‘Je Suis Passee’ and ‘Drop The Deal’. Lately he’s been making music under another alias, Asa Tate, with a track penned for this year’s Rhythm Section SHOUTS compilation.

Radio On Vacation with Tech Support

Delighted to welcome Tech Support to the podcast series with a live recording from Grey Area in Taipei!

"London based DJ and producer Tech Support never settles on one sound, finding inspiration in anything from low slung chug to stripped back ethereal techno. Releasing EPs for the likes of Permanent Vacation, Ano Ano and Nocturne, he has made a name for himself through innovative edits of overlooked dance tracks from the past. His music has garnered support from influential figures such as Bradley Zero, CC:Disco!, Unai Trotti, Moxie, and ISAbella.

Recently, Tech Support has graced the decks across Europe in Berlin, Paris, Dublin, Belfast, and Brussels, while also making his Asia debut in Taipei this October. An adept remixer, TS has crafted remixes for notable artists including Sean Johnston (Hardway Bros / ALFOS), Benjamin Fröhlich, Manuel Darquart, and Demi Riquisimo."

In the words from Tech Support: "This mix was recorded live at Grey Area in Taipei, a rough and unguided 2 hours through Tech Support's varied sonic palette, locked in a groove of 90s house and prog that leads into a frenzy of techno and electro, you can pick out the odd bit of crowd noise in the recording too which I love!
