B. Ashra has been producing electronic music for 30 years. Based in Berlin, B. Ashra's
music ranges from meditative ambient music to sound experiments and acid techno. Since
this sometimes led to confusion, B. Ashra releases only ambient, downbeat and
experimental music since the beginning of the 2000s. As Robert Templa, he releases
techno/electro and as Hackbert, he releases tech-house, glitches, very experimental, and
harder sounds.
B. Ashra has made a name for himself in the international electronic music scene with numerous live concerts in many clubs and at open air festivals.
