Ashique Subhan, (aka Subb-an) was born in 87’ and hails from Birmingham, UK.
Teaching himself to mix from scratch via trial and error from as early as 12 years of age,Ash’s musical education was highlighted by the study of Sound and Multimedia at the University of Central England, where he learned production techniques and began to define his aural identity.
His inquisitive nature led easily to the development of a variety of live sets, landing him a residency at Birmingham’s respected ‘Below’. Known for it’s ever inspiring atmosphere and a finger firmly on the pulse, Below’s line-ups have enabled Ash to grow as an artist, supporting the likes of Mobilee artists Anja Schneider, Sebo K and Ralf Kollmann, girl-wonder Dinky and the UK’s own Jamie Jones and Clive Henry. Appearances at London’s The End, T-bar and Technique in Leeds, have ensured that Ash’s talent has not been confined to the West Midlands.
The 2008 release of Italia on Leftroom, having received accolades from M8, Mixmag, and IDJ, has gained support from some of the leading names in the industry, with his productions being played by Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Paul Woolford and Luciano to name but a few. His first signing to Immigrant records, 'The Corridors Of Life', released in May 2008 gained support from Josh Wink, Loco Dice, Solomun, Jimpster and Soul Designer and is followed by the ‘Opiates EP’, with a remix from dance music mainstay John Tejada.
2009 is set to be a big one for Subb-an with more blinding Below parties, releases imminent on Shva Muzik and Hypercolour, as well as summer dates in Barcelona and at the 'Like Minded' Festival in Croatia. Ash’s talent is certainly one to monitor.
