Emerging from a background steeped in improvisation and live musicianship, Aspen channels a tactile approach to electronic music, one that is textured, deliberate, and deeply kinetic. His productions navigate between rhythmic precision and melodic fragility, exploring the edges of UK club music. With a focus on texture, movement, and restraint, he crafts immersive spaces where groove and introspection coexist in quiet tension.

Aspen is the solo project of the keyboard player and producer of alt-jazz band Zoe’s Shanghai. In December 2025, he made his debut on the Paris label Bambe with Nests pt. I, a focused, immersive IDM release where precision meets emotion. Across three tracks he builds a landscape of hybrid grooves, widescreen harmonics and finely tuned tension, from the submerged weight of Deep6 to Placid Heights, co-produced with Bambounou, to the introspective drift of Dweller. In April 2026, Nests pt. II extended that world with a more nuanced and intimate pull, moving from rolling breakbeat pressure into meditative drift and leaning towards light.

Aspen is currently working on his first LP, set for release towards the end of 2027, and in parallel on a live set built around his productions.
