Asmodeus Arc Machine

Jasper Gape

South Auckland, New Zealand

R.I.P. She is dead! Asmodeus Arc Machine. Jasper Gape is the Asmodeus Arc Machine, a new electronic side project that fuses Techno/ Electro-clash/ Nu Disco/ Balearic and Weird. Influenced by Japanese techno music from the likes of Towa Tei to the music of Zombie Nation Jasper never follows trends in music and goes with his gut Pop culture is another source of inspired madness with AA Machine's love for video games of the 70s/80s/90s along with comic books Going through the gauntlet of eras and genres, Jasper was a huge Hip Hop head in the early 90s and became a fan of dance music when his brother’s friend stayed over and introduced acid house and rave. Being a kid from the notorious streets of South Auckland, Acid and House were much frowned upon and kept his obsession with dance music to a minimum. From that time he also had a love for early grunge rock, stoner rock, punk as well as influences of later electronic music via Kraftwerk and YMO He has also been Djing off and on for 16 years (starting from 1997) and working on local low powered radio station’s KFM (circa 2002) and the now defunct Fleet FM (circa 2007) which in his opinion was one of the best radio stations to ever become apart of for his 3-4 tenure. Jasper’s Blah Blah Blah radio show was considered an act of attrition going for 8 hours every Friday playing a broad range from Electro House, Ghetto Tech, Minimal to other genres such as dub and Nu Disco. Currently dabbling in the production of electronic music, the Asmodeus Arc Machine sees Jasper doing all sorts with electronic music and not limiting his aural palette to a ‘mainstay’ or ‘popular at the time genre.’ In the coming months of updating his studio, he will incorporate a live aspect utilizing Ableton Live 8 manipulating instances of Dub/New Wave/Electro-funk and Nu Disco as apart of the live set on the road Remixes, Edits and Mixtapes will be available shortly for free.
