A*S*Y*S (aka Frank Ellrich) has been a leading force in the global techno and acid movement since the early 2000s. Known for his revolutionary studio productions, ranging from dark, hypnotic acid odysseys to relentless hard-driving floor-fillers. He continues to ignite dance floors and shape the sound of the underground worldwide.

Having performed at some of the world’s most iconic festivals and events, including Time Warp, Verknipt, EDC Las Vegas, and Tomorrowland, A*S*Y*S has taken his unmistakable sound to more than 20 countries across five continents. His music bridges the gap between techno, trance and harder styles, channeling a vision that has influenced generations of producers and clubgoers alike.

From his early impact on Tracid Traxxx to the creation of his own imprint Fe Records, A*S*Y*S has always pushed boundaries while staying true to the element that defines his artistry, Acid. For Frank, that unmistakable 303 energy isn’t just a sound; it’s the heartbeat of his creative identity.

In 2018, he founded Fe Chrome, a label built to enrich and inspire the modern techno scene. Its fourth release, A*S*Y*S – The Acid*, stormed the Beatport Techno Top 100 to reach #1 (and #3 overall), holding its spot for six consecutive weeks. Within a single year, Fe Chrome ranked among the Top 10 best-selling techno labels worldwide (Beatstats).

Today, A*S*Y*S has surpassed 45 million Spotify streams and continues to dominate the Beatport Techno and Hard Techno charts with a steady stream of top-five releases. His recent singles  “Verknipt Nochmal” (Hard Techno) and “BAM BAM TSCHAK” (Peak Time/Driving Techno) both hit #1 on Beatport, while his collaboration with Marie Vaunt – “Give Me Acid” became an underground anthem, merging her dark melodic edge with his unmistakable acid energy.

In 2025, A*S*Y*S remains at the forefront of the global scene with ongoing releases on his label and his long-running Filter’d mix series, now over 200 episodes deep. His newest track, “Das Pixel” (2025) with Dominique Schwartz, continues his mission to blend raw energy, precision, and unmistakable acid power, a formula that has made A*S*Y*S both a pioneer and a perpetual innovator in modern techno culture.
