Who?

Askondo is a DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalist and digital artist based in Berlin.

Growing up in the Uckermark in Brandenburg, Germany, he developed a passion for electronic music, especially techno, at a very young age. At just 8 years old, he began experimenting with sequencers on the computer, and soon discovered the art of beatmatching records, becoming a skilled DJ.

Askondo’s style is a fusion of influences from different genres, from the melodic sounds of Daft Punk, Röyksopp, and Trentemöller, to the hard techno beats of Tresor.

Since moving to Berlin at the age of 17, he has been performing many live sets, playing as a DJ, and showcasing his talent as a musician in various projects.

Expect deep basslines, epic synth leads, and playful sound design, with a touch of (electro-)acoustic instruments like piano, guitar, and cello – all blended seamlessly in Askondo’s unique and captivating style.

Why Askondo?

The name „Askondo“ was randomly made up as a pseudonym when he was still a young kid.
Later he learned that it is an old basque word for „a place where people happily come together to celebrate“

As he is a very social being who connects many people and also organizes events it is an astonishing coincidence and the name now has a deep meaning to him and his followers.
