John Ashraf is an Egyptian medical student and electronic music producer, who recently began to take his passion for music professionally by releasing his work through the various digital streaming platforms.

Ashraf’s latest single, the cinematic “Assassin’s Story” is centered around glistening synth arpeggios, skittering beats, twitter and woofer rattling thump and woozy bursts of oud paired with HSN’s sultry delivery and an enormous, rousingly anthemic hook. The end result is a track that sounds as though it could be on the soundtrack of a major action movie — or video game — while being club friendly.
