ASTROCAST5: Blank & Kytt's Semi-Sensual Mix

Astrocast5: Blank & Kytt's Semi-Sensual Mix by Astro Nautico on Mixcloud

This week's Astrocast is brought to you by a pair of Matthews from Coventry, England who know how to make beats that bang hard but still feel smooth as a baby's ass.

The Blank & Kytt catalogue includes last year's smash 3010 LP and the recent FastSlowJamz, which is also a full-length. Quality & Quantity.

A bunch of influences get thrown into the B&K blender--- future funk & classic soul, hip-hop & bass music, etc.

This mix, selected by Kytt, highlights the more sensual side of the B&K audioverse. Everything from T-Pain & Young Montana? to Jackson 5 & Kate Bush. Just don't get carried away... this is only 'semi-sensual.'

ASTROCAST4: Railster's Stupendo Sensation

Astrocast4: Railster's Stupendo Sensation by Astro Nautico on Mixcloud

ASTROCAST4 is a monster from Italia.

The premier Italian ambassador of future beats n' bass, Railster has a well-established history of mixes for major cybernetic bass outlets like Jus Like Music, GCC Magazine, and UrbanSoul.ru.
Also a producer and ace remixer, Railster's philosophy comes through everything he touches.

"It's all about style. It's not always about music theory or audio skills to a make good song. I like when I hear an equilibrium of elements, with simple new ideas, with a new original style. That's what I care about."

*special thanks to Kae "Kaesthetics" for the voice.

ASTROCAST 3: Betsberg Mix by GwS

The third installment of our still newly born AstroCast comes from a man named Geert Wijns, running under the alias GwS. Hailing from Oosterzele, Belgium near the Betsberg woods, G's mixes (Bonzai!s) sound like they are coming straight from the heart of the darkest forest you've never been lost in... and this one is no exception. Having done a killer bonzai for us last August, asking G to partake in this series was a no-brainer.

When I asked Geert to describe himself, he responded with "??".

Please check out some of his other mixes here and fill in the blanks for yourself.

ALSO, be sure to peep this compilation - Sample Based Life vol. 1 - that Forrest Reiff put together, featuring two tracks from Geert Wijns himself! and a bunch of other artists. The album is free, but an $8-$10 donation will get you a physical copy of the tape in cassette format.
