ASHRR are turning heads again, and this time, they’re taking it straight to the dancefloor.
The Los Angeles-based trio just dropped Sunshine Low (ASHRR Soundsystem Versions) on July 25, 2025, and it’s not your average remix album. Released via UK tastemaker label 20/20 Vision, home to names like Maya Jane Coles and Crazy P, this project reimagines their 2024 album Sunshine Low from the ground up. We’re talking new live drums, fresh programming, and lush instrumentation crafted under their club-focused alias, ASHRR Soundsystem.
This isn’t just about swapping a beat or slapping on a four-on-the-floor rhythm. The whole thing feels like it was made with sunrise sets and late-night undergrounds in mind. Think Ibiza meets Echo Park. The band’s signature soulful songwriting and rich vocal harmonies are still the emotional core, but the sonics now drift through dub, Balearic house, cosmic disco, and post-punk territory. It channels the spirit of LCD Soundsystem, Khruangbin, and New Order all in one go, and the groove is undeniable.
ASHRR, made up of vocalist Steven Davis, jazz pianist/songwriter Josh Charles, and Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Ethan Allen, first linked up in 2018 with the mission to make music that moves people. Literally and emotionally. Over the years, they’ve earned co-signs from KCRW, KEXP, DJ Mag, and FLOOD, with remix support from heavy hitters like Ron Trent, Lovefingers, and dub legend Scientist. But Sunshine Low (ASHRR Soundsystem Versions) feels like a major evolution. A full-band approach to dance music that doesn’t sacrifice musicality for the sake of the drop.
This new record’s vibe is built on hypnotic grooves and a widescreen sense of mood. From the dreamy pulse of “Sun Song” to the post-disco shimmer of “The Glow,” every track feels built for both headphone trips and dancefloor lifts. “Please Don’t Stop The Rain” even gets a full-on ASHRR Soundsystem remix treatment, proving these guys aren’t scared to push their own material into new territory.
The full tracklist includes:
“Sun Song,” “Different Kind Of Life,” “No Garden,” “Lion,” “Deux Sons,” “Sunshine Low,” “What’s Been Turning You On,” “Please Don’t Stop The Rain,” “The Glow,” and “Sway”, each now given that warm, analog-laced ASHRR Soundsystem finish.
More than just a club-ready refresh, this album is a bold bridge between the raw emotion of a live band and the communal high of club culture. It solidifies ASHRR as one of the few acts out there genuinely living at the intersection of songwriting and sound system science.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering them via a midnight shuffle in a Berlin basement, Sunshine Low (ASHRR Soundsystem Versions) makes one thing clear: ASHRR aren’t just remixing their past, they’re building the next chapter, one deep groove at a time.
