A/S/L - "Candy"

In the vibrant and ever-evolving landscape of music, there are those artists who carve out their own niche, blending influences and sounds to create something entirely unique. One such artist making waves in the scene is the enigmatic A/S/L, a LA-based producer and sonic collagist whose double single, "Candy," and "Joy Boy" is poised to captivate audiences with its infectious blend of nostalgia and innovation. Having already garnered attention and editorial support from industry giants like Spotify and TIDAL, A/S/L is no stranger to the spotlight. His debut single, "Eros," served as an impressive introduction to his eclectic style, earning placements on coveted playlists such as Spotify's Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Dance. Now, with "Candy," A/S/L is ready to take his sound to new heights, offering listeners a tantalizing glimpse into his sonic universe. At the heart of "Candy" lies a fusion of influences that spans decades and genres. From the smooth saxophone glosses reminiscent of ‘80s disco to the intricate sample work that nods to the innovative spirit of artists like The Avalanches, A/S/L seamlessly weaves together disparate elements to create a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. It's this ability to blend the old with the new that sets A/S/L apart, offering listeners a sonic experience that is at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. But A/S/L's journey to this point has been anything but conventional. For over a decade, he has been quietly crafting his sound, steadily trickling sonic inspiration into the ears of LA tastemakers through a series of underground releases. Operating under the guise of the secretive PAZ label, A/S/L collaborated with creative director Young Replicant to curate a collection of outré club music and sprawling "soundtracks" that found their way into the hands of artists, filmmakers, and musicians alike. Now, in 2024, A/S/L finds himself at a pivotal moment in his career as PAZ teams up with Future Gods to bring his music to a wider audience. With a full-length album entitled 'Live From Selby' on the horizon, A/S/L is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of electronic music. It's clear that A/S/L's unique blend of sonic experimentation and nostalgic charm is poised to leave a lasting impression. With each new track, he invites us to journey deeper into his sonic universe, where the boundaries between past and present blur, and anything is possible. So, sit back, press play, and let A/S/L take you on a musical adventure unlike any other.
