Ashley Beedle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ashley Beedle (born 25 November 1962, in Hemel Hempstead) is a British disc jockey and record producer.
Beedle made the leap from music lover to DJ in the early 1980s when British disc jockeys started playing disco and house music records over (Jamaican) soundsystems. London's melting pot of cultures provided the young Beedle with a wide interest in reggae, soul music, techno, and jazz. Beedle's first big musical project, Black Science Orchestra, reworked old disco songs into house tracks which quickly turned up in the record boxes of American DJ's such as Frankie Knuckles and Masters At Work.
Other musical projects include Ballistic Brothers, X-Press 2 and Black Jazz Chronicles. In the late 1990s Beedle was an in-demand remixer for mainstream acts, due to his eclectic output.
Beedle is still active as a DJ, and focuses mainly on his X-Press 2 project, and solo outings as far as production is concerned.
