AYASHIGE wears at least two hats.
One as the front man & vocalist/synthesizer of the ever awesome rock band WRENCH,
which have mesmerized worldwide audiences since 92. Their unique blend of rock and techno,
dub and electro, industrial and noise can be heard on any of their 8 studio albums or seen on
their countless music videos and live DVDs. After playing FUJI ROCK FES and the SXSW and tour of the United States.
Now for the second hat. Both as a solo artist and dj, AYASHIGE has worked with a wide
range of worldwide talent. Appearing on Ken Ishii and DJ Tasaka second album
as vocalist as well as performing live with the likes of Tsuyoshi Suzuki. His chillout
project Cafe Himalaya('00) is a truly amazing musical work. Not only has he
remixed acts such as Coolio and Loudness but his own tracks have been gaining
recognition and demand from abroad. His single HIGH ENERGY even found itself at
the top of Italian dance charts. He experienced 2 times dj tour of the European area.
