AR38 are Ashley Fearn and Rob Day, two Midlands DJs who’ve been playing together since early 2019. The AR38 Unorthodox Showcase Mix is number 004 in our showcase series.
Ask them what they play and they’ll say groovy and upbeat. In practice that’s house and tech house, with disco and minimal in there too, and a bit of trance if the room’s right for it.
Where AR38 cut their teeth
Ash and Rob have done a lot of residency work. They’ve played regularly at Bunker, Forbidden Forest, Discotech and Groovebox, and this year Superfly in Leicester took them on as residents.
Their bookings have taken them all over the UK and last year made their international debut in Budapest, twice for Nota Bene. If you want to hear them in a club, episode 12 of their Mixshow podcast was recorded live at Superfly.
They make music as well as play it. Records have come out on Moxy Muzik, Purism and Sense Traxx. Whoyostro put out four of their tracks in August: “Just Do It”, “Bring Me Up”, “Same Place” and “Signls”.
The AR38 Unorthodox Showcase Mix after Misnoma
Dom Mayes did Showcase Mix 001, Lisa Sharred did 002. Misnoma’s 003 brought dub, bass and garage, and now AR38 are on 004.
The mix includes a couple of their own works, “Freestyle Fanatic” and “2People”, and Fleur Shore‘s “Think Positive”. It’s great to see them supporting another local artist, Fleur Shore, a DJ and producer from Birmingham.
