Born in South West London, England towards the end of the 20th Century, Ashley Burchett was drawn to synthesized sound from a young age. His first exposure to Detroit techno came in 1988 by way of a cassette tape recorded for him by an older friend.

Born in South West London, England towards the end of the 20th Century, Ashley Burchett was drawn to synthesized sound from a young age. His first exposure to Detroit techno came in 1988 by way of a cassette tape recorded for him by an older friend. Although it would take a further five years or so for Burchett to even begin to realise the significance of those recordings, they were undoubtedly the seeds of a life-long obsession with underground electronic dance music.
Burchett came on board with the Belgian Token imprint in 2007 and has made it his exclusive home ever since. He has largely pushed a fast-paced,rolling sound, one that often evokes the more shadowy corners of Jeff Mills' Purpose Maker series. Token marked its fifth birthday at the start of 2012 with Burchett's relentless BinaryOpposition, a release that would be remixed by an eye-catching selection of modern techno's finest—Ben Klock, Peter Van Hoesen, PlanetaryAssault Systems and Sigha. The label also released his 2013 debut album, Frames of Reference to critical acclaim.
