Asa Moto hail from Ghent, Belgium, a city where concrete collides with cathedrals. Their music obeys the same law: rhythm wired into noise, melody bent out of shape. No genres. No safe zones.
They’ve taken this across Europe and beyond: festivals like Dour, Best Kept Secret, and Boiler Room Bangkok; clubs that shape the underground including Panorama Bar, Opium, Lux, XOYO. Sacred halls turned into dancefloors, basements stretched to capacity. Wherever they land, Asa Moto rewire the room.
Us, Resident Advisor and the BBC were listening from the start. Altın Gün brought Asa Moto in to produce the critically acclaimed "Yol" (2021), the band’s first collaboration with outsiders. Remixes for Polo & Pan, Chloé Thévenin and others spread the same edge further out, each a glimpse of their method, a vision in motion.
All signals run through Studio Martino in Ghent - their own control room for recordings, remixes, transmissions. The records surface on DEEWEE, the label founded by Stephen and David Dewaele of Soulwax / 2manydjs - the only one reckless enough to carry them. "Music For Disk Jockeys Pt. 1" continues the line: four tracks as proof that Asa Moto refuse limits, because the world refused them first.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Proper wiggy DEEWEE tackle from Asa Moto who seems tailor made for the label. Anyone else hear a bit of Modeselektor on this EP? Big room electro with a bit of gnarly punk swagger too. Very nice.TRACK LISTING
