Asem Shama

Biography

deutsch

Der in Hannover aufgewachsene Asem Shama steht seit den frühen Neunzigern für Elektronische Musik. Mit sechzehn beginnt er mit Musik zu experimentieren und mixt zuhause Hip Hop und Acid Tracks. Wenig später gründen einige Freunde ein kleines Heimstudio in dem er seine ersten Hip Hop tracks produziert, die er auch live auf Jams performed. Er betritt die Technoszene als er mit Axel Bartsch die berüchtigten Ravesydrome Events in Hannover ins leben ruft. Die beiden beginnen auch an Synth und Samplern herumzuspielen, bauen ein eigenes Studio auf und Gründen das Label Syndrome Audio. Es folgen zahlreiche gemeinsame Veröffentlichungen und Asems erste Solo-Releases auf renommierten Labels wie Planet of Drums, Frisbee Tracks, Utils und Spiel-Zeug.

Zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends startet Asem das Label Ghostline um seinem ganz persönlichen Stil zu entfalten. Während er viel als DJ unterwegs ist, launched er auch mit Axel die Drumfiles Serie und ein Stück namens Flash, welches den internationalen Durchbruch für ihr Vanguard Projekt mit unerwartetem Top 20 erfolg in England und Deutschland markiert. Vanguards liveperformances erhalten internationale Beachtung.

In letzter Zeit konzentriert sich Asem vor allem auf sein neustes Imprint Sportclub, wiederum eine Zusammenarbeit mit Axel, wobei er seine subtile und minimalistische Seite betont und auch unter dem pseudonym Franco Zeiger agiert. Bis jetzt hat Asem schon über 50 Releases und Auftritte in vielen der wichtigsten Locations rund um den Globus zu verzeichnen.

Grown in Northern Germany - Hanover, Asem Shama is a trademark for electronica since 93. Asem starts his first musical experiments at the age of sixteen when mixing hip hop and acid tracks at home. Some friends put up a small studio where he produces his first own hip hop tracks which he also performed live at jams. He first makes himself heard in the techno scene on his notorious Ravesydrome events and starts playing with synth and samplers together with co-organizer Axel Bartsch building a studio in the following years and also the Label Syndome Audio. Next come numerous solo releases and collaborations on respected and upfont labels like Bush, Planet of Drums, Frisbee Tracks, Utils and Spiel-Zeug.

In the beginning of the new millennium Asem feels the need for an own label to create a very personal output completely under his control, „Ghostline Electronics“ was born. While increasing his presence as a dj playing clubs all over, him and Axel Bartsch launch the „Drumfiles“ project on „Spielzeug“ and create a track called „Flash“ which marks the international breakthrough for their Vanguard project with unexpected Top 20 entries in U.K. and Germany. Also Vanguards liveperformances gain international recognition.

Recently, Asem concentrates on his latest Imprint Sportclub, again a colllaboration with Axel, on which he emphasizes his subtle and minimalistic side. Till now, he released more than 50 records and played many of the key clubs and events around the globe.
