As a teenager, the non-binary artist released a 5 track EP with their first solo project Hasta la otra méxico!, of which especially 'Túrána hott kurdís' attracted a lot of attention, hitting almost 1 million views on vimeo & youtube. Driven by their love for electronic music, Asa started producing and DJing as ASA 808, releasing on George FitzGerald's ManMakeMusic, Soundspace, Blank, Yarn Audio and their own TOYS imprint and playing in venues such as ://about Blank, Tresor, Ritter Butzke, Le Java (Paris), Lehmann (Stuttgart), B90 (Gdansk), Corvin Club (Budapest), Menagerie (Belfast), Gewölbe (Cologne), Karlstorbahnhof (Heidelberg), Bahnwärter Thiel (Munich) & Baalsaal (Hamburg).

VICE / THUMP: "Rudolf is truly a man of many talents. Under his ASA 808 alias, Rudolf has honed his craft as a producer while simultaneously running some of Berlin's biggest house and techno events." Data Transmission: "One of the city’s brightest new lights is Ansgar Rudolf, better known as ASA 808 (...) 2015 saw the release of his wonderfully eerie Ignorance EP via George Fitzgerald‘s ManMakeMusic, a record that insured our spotlight was firmly fixed on ASA 808 and will continue to do so this year.“ George FitzGerald: "a very talented man, a lot to come from him I think" Local Suicide: „the future is looking pretty damn good for ASA 808“ BBC Radio 1: „Quality“
