The singer has become a deejay

The eleventh release on DEEWEE was the debut EP by ASA Moto. Oli Geerts and Gilles Noël entered the scene with this two track 12″ in 2016, though Oli became part of the Soulwax family a couple of years earlier with Ego Troopers. He was just a teenager when he formed Ego Troopers with Mozes Mosuse, who’d get on the DEEWEE imprint himself a couple of years later as Movulango.

Here’s a short review from 2016:

ASA MOTO’s excellent effort features two incredible, irresistible tracks.
Firstly – ‘Wanowan Efem’ blends touches of disco and house into a nice neat package with an undeniably danceable groove. It draws it’s unearthly, cosmic powers from a funky analogue bassline, bongo-infused beat shuffle and polished off with a ‘Wanowan Efem’ vocal chant.

‘Stay Awake’ meanwhile, harnesses a much more down-tempo rhythm. Combined spaced-out synths, phased drones and metallic percussion, with a sort of slo-mo state of hypnosis and a groove that reaches into the realms of late ’80s / early ’90s Balearic acid house. Two highly danceable tunes that captivate entirely, from two rather promising producers to key an eye on.
