Distant Touch

Distant Touch

Producer (UK)

Ashley MacLaughlin, the mind behind Distant Touch, delivers a driving fusion of full-on and nighttime psychedelia, rooted in both UK and South African dance floors. With a musical journey that began on guitar at age 8 and evolved into DJing London squat parties by 17, his sound today is a powerful blend of dirty, fractal textures and crisp, immersive production.

Since launching his project in 2004, Distant Touch has performed across the UK, Europe, and South Africa, sharing stages with top global acts. His discography includes EPs, collaborations with influential producers, and appearances on international compilations—plus several exciting side projects currently in motion. Expect high-energy sonic journeys with serious dancefloor intent.
