Asher Levitas first emerged as a member of Old Apparatus, an enigmatic London collective who have released music via dubstep label Deep Medi and their own Sullen Tone imprint. More recently he has worked with vocalist Linn Carin Dirdal in Saa.

Levitas's debut solo album Lit Harness finds the artist exploring personal themes of anxiety, madness, serenity and acceptance while touching on the experience of sleep paralysis. The uncanny space between dream and reality accessible to those who suffer from this condition serves as an apt metaphor for the pervasive mood of the album as well as that of Levitas's mix.
