A trailblazing electronic music sensation, Israel-based DJ and producer ASKAIØ may have had one of the most uncommon musical foundations as a DJ, as he started with classical piano, but that’s partly what has contributed to his present success in the EDM music scene. Leveraging his discipline from classical music, combined with a relentless work ethic and an insatiable passion for both music and technology, this rising artist has established himself as more than just a superstar in Tel Aviv and beyond, with his eclectic mixes winning over fans, critics, and culture heavyweights. He is a dance floor annihilator who always leaves revelers thoroughly entertained…once he graces the stage, he always makes sure you never forget his name. And why should you? I mean, have you listened to his epic productions? His talent is exemplary, weaving together the best of electronic dance genres and subgenres to create a sound uniquely his own.
Having generated positive buzz on the international music scene with his dazzling cover of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P” house remix, ASKAIØ is capitalizing on this success with his new release, “What It Takes” scheduled for January 19th.
An uplifting, highly energetic, and synth-heavy body of work with a driving house beat and a plethora of electronic components, “What It Takes” completely gets you lost in the music as you dance the night away with carefree abandon.
The pulsating bass, rhythmic pulses, ethereal pads, and sawtooth synths are blended with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a hauntingly beautiful piece made more appealing by captivating male vocals sliding over the driving rhythm with emotive resonance.
The catchy and repeated lyrics, “Maybe this was just a mistake, and I don’t have what it takes to love you” encapsulate the song’s emotions and linger in your ears, resonating even when you’re not actively listening to the track.
An outstanding banger that cuts across the deep house with tech twists, “What It Takes” will undoubtedly be on heavy rotation once it drops!
