The group, composed of GRAMMY-nominated producer, composer, and mixer Ethan Allen, piano prodigy, guitarist, singer, producer, and songwriter Josh Charles, and vocalist Steven Davis, represents a fusion of talents and expertise across pop, rock, R&B, and big band. With each individual member drawing from their deep experience and musical knowledge, they combine to form a sum greater than their parts.  The trio’s range of influences come together on “Different Kind Of Life,” which embraces their unique method of genre crisscrossing, colliding soulful disco and house music with vintage Afrobeat and post-punk. 

“DKOL is about the expression of samsara, the cycle of never being pleased with what you have, but always wanting more or something else.  When we went to write this song which started out with the bass line and polyrhythmic drums, we eventually mixed up our love of Afrobeat rhythms from the late 70’s with the post-punk soul dance floor anthems that Frankie Knuckles would be playing at Paradise Garage on a Saturday night.” — ASHRR

“Different Kind Of Life” will also see remixes out on June 3rd from Massimiliano Pagliara and ASHRR SOUNDSYSTEM, the made for the dancefloor alter ego of the band. The remixes have already amassed support from the likes of Kruder and Dorfmeister, Nightmares on Wax, Glenn Underground, Yuksek, Bill Brewster, and more. 

Emerging in 2018 out of the Los Angeles underbelly with support from the likes of NPR, ASHRR caught the attention of tastemakers by casting a wide net over electronic soul, space disco, and indie dance to capture a sound reflecting the melancholic haze of late summer combined with the thrill of late night adventure. Following their initial success, the trio expanded upon their debut EP with the release of their first full album, Oscillator, described by critics as a “set of pop tunes that balance easy hooks with rhythmic elegance, bespeaking a love of the sophisticated side of British new wave.”

After sharing a string of singles post-pandemic, ASHRR found a new home on Ralph Lawson’s 20/20 Vision with the release of “Talking In Your Sleep. Soon after, ASHRR joined their sound with dub legend Scientist and Felix Dickinson with a pack of remixes that came alongside the release of “Fizzy,” which garnered support from KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.. Most recently, the band ignited their hot streak with “What’s Been Turning You On,” with remixes by System Olympia and ASHRR SOUNDSYSTEM.
