Oliver & Gilles: 10% looks, 90% spotlights. BOOKINGS / QUESTIONS & ENQUIRIES : asamoto101@gmail.com Formed in 2012 by friends Oliver Geerts and Gilles Noë, Asa Moto purvey non-standard body music from their Ghent outpost, Studio Martino. Closely affiliated with famed Soulwax imprint, Deewee, the Belgian duo’s recorded offerings carefully juxtapose expert synth-work with aesthetic imperfection. Charming melodies and throbbing rhythms come courtesy of archaic tone generators and acoustic instrumentation alike, landing Asa Moto in a zone of confident sonic idiosyncrasy. Their studio prowess has hardly gone unnoticed and during their breakout year of 2018, Resident Advisor, Redbull and the BBC were quick to take note of the group’s steady ascent. Italo-leaning Kifesh was handpicked off of Paradise, by Resident Advisor, for their coveted Track of the Month feature, while the album as a whole received critical acclaim over at De Morgen, one of Belgium’s finest newspapers. The duo ended their year with an impressive four nominations at the Red Bull Elektropedia Awards, for Best Producer, Album, Remix and Artwork. Via their ever-changing live performances, Geerts and Noë have become regular fixtures on the European touring circuit, touching down for club nights and festival appearances across the continent. As astute selectors, Asa Moto operate a bi-monthly radio show in Brussels, digging into their sprawling collection, ranging from obscure jazz records to contemporary electronic cuts. Heading into 2019 with a handful of new recorded works, Asa Moto look re-adapt their unmistakable strain of body music into a full band live show, the Belgian duo’s most ambitious project yet.
