Asymmetric Dip introduces Christian Reich , a Dusseldorf based artist . Born in Jena, he had already come into contact with the electronic music segment at the beginning of the nineties, but he preferred to be a little adventurous for a while first. Christian listened to all sorts of musical genres, starting with German and American hip hop, through rock and punk rock, all the way to choice samples of his father's record collection and began producing under the name "Shapeless". Considering this wide range, it is not surprising that techno and house experiments on belt-driven record players were the order of the day at some point, fascinating the fledgling DJ. Influences coming in from all sides, such as jazz, funk, soul, reggae, soca, and breakbeat, meant that in addition to the techno-electronic sphere he also felt at home in the drum & bass sector, formed his own style, and transcended narrow-minded genre thinking with a mischievous smile. With Christian, anything goes as regards the choice of media too. This means that in addition to the classic vinyl, he also always carries the trusty laptop in his club kit. Brimming with ideas and full of energy like a windup toy, Christian, who has a degree in business informatics, has also fulfilled the role of booker, webmaster and resident DJ in the Lysa Club from 2006 up to 2009. Since 2009 he released on Legotek Records from Tel Aviv and Moma from Barcelona .

Tom Ellis provides an excellent remix which takes the original title in a more soulful direction. Tom enveloped himself in the world of electronic music and embraced the technology behind it. His unique blend of funked-up, jazz-inspired house and techno can be found on such labels as Logistic Records, Hartchef Discos, Floppy Funk, Mindtours, Frankie, True to Form and many more, including a lot of the growing underground labels.The natural progression for him was to setup a label, which he did with his best friend Leif, along with the support of his brother Joe and other close friends who inspired him so much.

His recent live project with Leif, co-founder of Trimsound, has taken him all over the world headlining some high profile club nights in Tokyo, Cologne, Munich, Budapest, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Leeds, Bristol and more.
