Since 1996, the project ASURA has polished a personal electronic universe sound, between trance psychedelic, Ambient and World music. Made by many influences, their music does not remain about it less one personal and considered creation, centered on the perpetual search of infinite spaces and multiple origins. Powered by both electronic machines and acoustic instruments, they have created a very distinctive sound which has contributed to making Asura one of the most recognizable bands of the World Ambient Trance genre. Monotonous melancholic lyrics, symphonic waves, fast and slow rhythms, heavy or throbbing, liturgical songs, ASURA introduces a certain solemn vision of the world. Recognized everywhere, little known in France, their titles "Code Eternity" and "Lost Eden" however had many dance at the time of large Trance raves all over the world. Vincent Villuis left the band to concentrate on his new project, Aes Dana, in 2001, and was replaced by Alex Ackerman.

The second album, Lost Eden, was released in 2003.

Since July 2005, after the departure of Christopher Maze and Alex Ackerman, ASURA became a solo project, composed by C. Farewell, co-founder of the project.

The third and newest album, "Life", was released on July 7, 2007, through Ultimae Records.
"Life" marks its time as the return of the original Asura sound, with 10 strong tracks, composed by melodic echoes, Aramean tribal rhythms, ethereal duduks, hypnotic basslines, symphonic orchestrations, fusion of gentleness and strength blending into acid themes. The outcome is melancholic yet positive, as any renewal would be, a tangible passage, sort of a second life...

Right now, Asura made an agreement with electronic music label Soundmute Recordings, and first ambient EP will be released for this record label at Ambilight Group, sub label of Soundmute Recordings.
Enjoy

Our next release will be tech trance project Le Saboteur on EP named "Lost".

Behind the name Le S4B0T3UR is Joakim Hakansson from Sweden, who earlier produced tracks under the name Dopamin who was released alongside heroes such as X-Dream and Midimiliz on Moonflower Productions. First release as Le S4B0T3UR with the track Sabotage came out on Mechanical Dragon and got great reviews.

Joakim has been producing psytrance since 1997 and was discovered by Nephilim Records who released several tracks of his on various compilations together with vinyl EP, other labels that has released Joakim's work are High Society, Nephilim Records, Chackra Delic Rec., ZMA, ZYX, Moonflower productions, Mechanical Dragons.

The change to the name Le S4B0T3UR came to the realization because there where too many people on the net and in the electronic music whose names were similar to Dopamin. It was also a way to break free from a mould created with the Dopamin releases; Le S4B0TEUR gives room to more experimentation of IDM influences in the creation of his new music.

At the moment he is signed for electronic music label Soundmute Recordings, and if you like dirty and hard music, then Le S4B0T3UR has real tunes for you!
