ASHLEY CASSELLE
(ASHTRAX / THE REMOTE / GLOBAL UNDERGROUND)

When Ashley Casselle spotted his then girlfriend chatting to a peroxided spikey haired youth with makeup which reminded him of Daryl Hannah playing the replicant in Bladerunner, he moved away from his spot in the dj booth at London's Heaven nightclub and asked her who the 'weird looking guy' was. A brief introduction followed and the curiously named Ben Lost chatted about his job at a music distribution company and a passion for David Bowie, electronic music, Guns 'n Roses and Brian Eno. "We exchanged details and then a week later, to my surprise, I started receiving everything from weird drum 'n bass to thrash metal from him. He told me he'd been the singer in a band called Charlie when he was 14 and that he'd like a shot at performing on my Ashtrax project," says Casselle.

The year was 2000 and Ashley was taking his djing out of London and onto an international circuit, playing festivals in Japan, terraces in Ibiza and hot nightclubs all over the world while he honed his dj skills and experimented with the ever expanding sounds of dub house, breakbeats, indie and electro. This in turn fed and influenced an array of productions and remixes which he developed with Ashtrax partner James Christopher (JC), a microchip whizzkid and studio pro fresh off the train from Sheffield raised on a diet of Aphex Twin and film soundtracks. At the time they were working on a track set for release on London imprint Deviant records after single releases 'Kafka' and 'Helsinki' were met with widespread approval. 'You look so digital' sang Ben mysteriously on the haunting result, 'Digital Reason', a blend of deep suburban bass and frosty electronics with snappy beats. Ben Lost sounded classic yet modern, a bizarrely poppy but intoxicating voice "like the Buzzcock's Pete Shelley meeting David Bowie on a robot farm" says Ashley.
