Asle Bjorn

Asle has been a dj since the age of fourteen – but spinning records was not really his first musical experience. Being out of a musical family he started playing instruments at an early age, mastering the flute at nine. The flute was later exchanged to the guitar and drums and eventually the instrument of choice, the piano. The latest three or four years Asle has developed his own style – ‘tight, dirty, and pumping house’ is the closest descriptions in words. His escapes in to the progressive and later on more funky sounds has got him tracks/signings on Hook/UG, Oven Ready, Records, Fluid. Now with a more soulfull funky electro flavor he is remixing and producing tracks on Yoshitoshi, Positiva, Cuba, Whoop, Size, Bigstar, Funktion, Nebula and more, not to mention massive support by the likes of Sasha, Pete Tong, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, Darren Emerson, Seb Fontaine, Paul Oakenfold, Roger Sanchez, Sander Kleinenberg, John Digweed, Deep Dish, Groove Armada, Paul van Dyk, to mention a few. As a remixer Asle is taking more and new ground as each day go by. He’s 2001 remix of Funky Green Dogs “Burning Up” reached #1 on Bilboard’s Dance Chart and his mix featured on the FGD’s album “Super California” as the first track. He has among others done remixes for Nickelback, Safri Duo, Infernal, Ortz, Blue Foundation, Camille Jones, Swan Lee, Lost Witness, Candi Staton, Tom Novy, Moi Caprice, New Order and more. His 2004 remix of the Danish pop/rock band Swan Lee earned him a Danish Dee Jay Award as ‘Remix of the Year’. Presently, Asle is doing well with his own project and the track ‘Golden Sun’. It is out on Cr2 right now. In the middle of April it hit # 1 on DMCUPDATE’s chart, The Buzz Chart (the most important dance chart in the world). Here his alter ego ‘Full Blown’ also did well last year. The re-released of the 2004 Whoop! record ‘Some Kinda Freak’ went to No. 1 on the UK Buzz Chart.
