From the press release:

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.

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. The next, DEEWEE082 — Music For Disk Jockeys Pt. 1, continues the line — four tracks as proof that Asa Moto refuse limits, because the world refused them first.

You can order the DEEWEE 082 12″ on the DEEWEE store. As you might have noticed, this 12″ vinyl comes in a die cut sleeve – which is new for the label. The DEEWEE logo with the two shoes has also been given a slight update.

They have also made a mix for Ransom Note, containing 82 tracks, to celebrate their EP with catalogue number DEEWEE 082:

Dave and Steph, as 2manydjs, have curated a playlist for Self Service Magazine. The October issue is curated by Pieter Muller and is called ‘Belgium Fearlessly’.

All tracks are by Belgian artists only:

And finally, Bolis Pupul has announced tourdates in China in December:
