Magnus Asberg (SE)

After earlier years playing hip hop and rock, Magnus first caught the fever for house music in 1985. Since then he’s honed his craft amongst the best there is, pushing the sound everywhere and anywhere he’s been. Unsurprisingly, a DJ career that has lasted more than 20 years has seen Magnus play at (probably) hundreds of clubs and parties all across Europe. From world renown super-clubs like Fabric through mountain-side bars to hard-to-find warehouses in a city near you, this man has done ‘em all. Having DJed (and, of course, partied) with a who’s who of the Tech House and Deep House over the years as well as over a decade with the UK’s South Coast’s favourite, Positive Soundsystem, it is with this crew that he has defined his sound , playing to some of the most demanding and loyal party people, building a strong underground following. Magnus currently holds down several residencies in his Brighton hometown as well as in London and Sweden. Check the site http://www.positivesounds.com for updates and party plans. Almost 3 years down the line, Magnus’s recording project C-Soul has become a popular addition to his DJ work. Involving a fluid and groovy collective of like minds (keyboards, sax, vocals and percussion), the name has appeared on labels like Flyagaric Trax, Is This, DiY Discs and Suspect Package and of course his own On The House label. Whilst Magnus holds down a busy DJ schedule, C-Soul are available for bookings as well. Although in it’s early days, On The House has already lined up names like Jay Cowley, Nathan Coles, Colin Dale, Toka Project and Rithma (vocals) for releases and remixes. Future releases have been appreciated across Europe and America by a long list of established DJs.
