Additionally, he has taken his talents to international venues, playing in some of the finest clubs in Ecuador, including Guayaquil and Quito, as well as in Buenos Aires, Argentina, São Paulo, Brazil, Montreal, Canada, and New York City in the United States.
He has had the privilege of performing alongside DJs including Cesar del Rio, José De Divina, Sebastian Gamboa, José de Melero at Cocoon, El Pasha, El Divino, Jhon Acquaviva, Carl Cox, Felipe Volumen, Nick Warren, Xl Garcia, Santos, and Darren Emerson. He aspires to further his journey and share his passion for music.
Guest DJ (second hour) Ash.
This week's second guest is Ash, a notable presence in the lively electronic music scene of South Africa, where she has been an influential figure since its early days. With a career that has extended over several years, Ash has not only observed the evolution of this dynamic industry but has also played an active role in its development and diversification.
Her profound enthusiasm for music is clearly reflected in her ability to stay attuned to the constantly evolving realm of electronic sounds, thereby ensuring her position at the cutting edge of musical innovation and trends. Her taste in music is both sophisticated and diverse, demonstrating her extensive understanding of various genres while remaining approachable and adaptable to a wide array of musical preferences.
This unique combination allows her to connect with a diverse audience, solidifying her status as a valued figure within the community. Throughout her performances, Ash adeptly weaves together a lively assortment of sounds, offering a carefully curated mix of both traditional and modern beats.
Her selections feature jazzy, funky, lyrical, uplifting, and melodic basslines, encompassing an impressive range of genres such as Disco, Deep House, Afro House, Funky House, Indie, Tech House, Melodic House, and Techno.

Ash's talent for seamlessly integrating these different elements not only highlights her technical prowess as a DJ but also demonstrates her acute intuition for gauging the crowd, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Andres Fierrro kicks off Assemble 2 with an energetic first hour that pulses with tech house and deep tech vibes. His selection from Ren Phillips & Ying Yang’s “Cult Fiction” and Camao Beats’ “The Paradise” to Match Point’s “Positivity” establishes a driving rhythm that is both infectious and inventive, while tracks like Pedro Pires’ “Change” and Felipe Michellin’s “Stone Jungle” add a minimalist edge and relentless groove.
The journey continues as Fierrro’s set evolves with a spectrum of sounds: from the hypnotic interplay of Tavo Under’s “Raw” in a peak-time techno surge to the refreshing groove of Sascha Dive’s “String Theory” in deep house, each track is chosen to build layers of intensity and texture that keep the energy steadily rising.
ASH takes the reins in the second hour, shifting the mood with a vibrant mix that weaves together melodic house, Afro house, and hints of indie dance. Opening with Ryan Murgatroyd Feat. Sobantwana’s “Wooma” and Rene Amesz & The Deeshakerz’ “Tribal Mantra,” the set immediately immerses listeners in rich, soulful rhythms and intricate percussion that spark a unique atmosphere.
ASH’s performance builds momentum through a diverse palette from Gimbrere’s uplifting “Makosa” and Deer Jade’s “Elevation” to the creative twists in tracks like Doctro Dru’s “Kloeppel” and John Summit’s “Deep End.” The mix wraps up with a mellow organic house and downtempo finish on Junior Akwety & Lost Desert’s “Rattlesnake Charme,” inviting you to sit back, relax, and let the eclectic journey carry you away.
