Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Andrew Ashong

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Andrew Ashong (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2019-12-29 A South Londoner of Ghanian descent, Andrew Ashong is a singer, guitarist, DJ and producer who's only released two EPs so far. On a house, soul and jazz tip, those gained him comparisons with Marvin Gaye, Roy Ayers, Bill Withers or Lewis Taylor — which should intrigue already enough for you to be eager to give this mix a listen. He's been heard collaborating with various musicians such as Tony Allen, Auntie Flo, DJ Yoda, Nightmares On Wax, Theo Parrish, Hector Plimmmer, Sbtrkt, Submotion Orchestra or Swindle… So if you're not excited by now, then you either suffer from musical ignorance or you have a deep reading problem. Anyway, at Paris DJs, we feel this guy has a unique soul sound, combining a smooth cosmic voice with sweet and deeply layered grooves. Hence this mix gathering tunes from his two EPs long with various appearances and collaborations… Hopefully we'll hear more from Andrew Ashong in 2020! Tracklisting : 01.
