Austin Bascom, has carved himself quite a niche in the global dance scene over the past decade through quality productions, innovation, and a business sense rooted in integrity. A Toronto transplant born and raised in London, he has performed across five continents showcasing his epic sound.
Under the monikers Abacus, A:XUS, and Charlie Brown, he has produced for numerous imprints including Balance/Prescription, Airtight, DNH Records, EMI (France), 83 West, and Guidance with which he released his first full length album entitled "A:XUS SOUNDTRACK FOR LIFE" which is still a timeless classic. His collaborations and remix work have seen him finesse a palette of talent as diverse as Esthero, Nick Holder, Ivana Santilli, Badmarsh+Sri, and countless others.
April 2007 sees the re:launch of his own imprint RE:THINK RE:CORDINGS with nothing but the best to be expected from this man who can only be described as PURE genius.

That's his official bio. I might wanna clean it up for him so what names are spelled wrong? Did notice the setence structure was a bit off.
