London-based producer and DJ Astral Bandit creates a high-intensity sound that thrives on movement, contrast, and textural depth. Blending elements of trance, techno, and psytrance, their music favors momentum over melody. They build energy through playful layering and shifting rhythmic structures. Their productions are calculated yet untamed, oscillating between precision and raw, surging energy.

‍

Astral Bandit establishes a clear direction with ASTRLBNDT001, the first in a series of self-releases. The dual-layer EP drives forward relentlessly, propelled by tight percussion and low-end pressure. Melodic elements are minimal, taking shape as waves of modulated synths and reverberated stabs that evolve over time. The release embraces the rawer edges of trance and techno, infused with a distinct psy touch and expanded by Agata, cunt remember, Shugo Noss, and DJ Hauge, each adding new depth.

cunt remember’s remix of Undertomb stays true to the original’s driving force while introducing a new level of playfulness and sound width. Tight kicks ground the track with sharp impact, while relentless pads and evolving FX create a sense of infinite descent. Granular processing and oversaturated synths rush in unpredictably, adding dynamic shifts that twist the track into a shape-shifting structure. Embracing controlled instability, the remix pushes forward without fully settling, echoing the release’s raw and unrestrained character.
