About ASKII

Erik Rettig aka ASKII was born on 10th May 1989 in Dresden, Germany. From a young age he dreamed of making his own music. As he was 11 years old he got his first musical equipment, a Casio Keyboard, and began making his first tracks. After some years of practicing he discovered the possibilities of digital music production and started creating tracks in 2007, using Steinberg Cubase.

Almost 2 years later he began spreading his music on the internet. Getting a lot of positive feedback, he decided to work towards getting signed to a label within the next 3 years.

Having tried different styles over the years, including Techno, Chillout, Drum & Bass and Minimal, his main focus changed to Progressive, Uplifting, Tech and Vocal Trance, Progressive House and Nu Skool Breaks.

His pseudonym "ASKII" is actually adapted from the ASCII-Computer-Code. In order to make a link to his forename, he changed the 'C' to a 'K'.
