Asta Hiroki is an electronica/experimental hip hop producer and visual artist based in Brighton, UK.
Having honed his craft working as a composer & audio specialist in the world of contemporary dance, video games and moving image installations his works are typically nuanced, textural and deep beats with an ethereal quality usually found in film soundtracks.
Drawing from jazz, electronica, post-Dilla hip hop, lo-fi and glitch music he builds layered compositions in his own brand of intelligent and modern, soulful electronica. Flitting between downtempo hip hop, ambient moments and glitchy compound-time signature beats it’s a widespan sound yet always constructed with the same attention to detail and jazz sensibilities.

Via a handful of singles and an EP he has steadily built up strong support across press, radio and streaming sites…

Multiple spins on BBC 6Music, FIP, Radio 3, Couleur3 and LA tastemaker station KCRW, coverage from La Belle Musique, Magnetic Magazine, Bandcamp, and a ton of editorial spots on Spotify including the coveted ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist.

After an extended period spent hibernating in the studio while the world as we know it changed significantly, electronic he emerges in 2021 with his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Entropy’.

Spanning leftfield electronica, downtempo, contemporary jazz, and hip hop, and recorded across studios in UK, Colombia, USA, and Cyprus, it’s a glorious collection that sees the producer teaming up with some sizeable talents.

Across ten tracks he combines with a truly wonderful cast that features: Lalin (The Seshen, Tru Thoughts), Muhsinah (Robert Glasper, Flying Lotus, Common) Dontmesswithjuan, Tristan de Liège (Loci Records, Future Archive) and more.

The first single to be taken form the record is the heavy eyed electronica cut ‘Slumber (feat. Dontmesswithjuan) out 19.2.21 via Jalapeno Records.
