Magnetic Magazine proudly presents an exclusive DJ mix by Astara, a rising star whose unique sound blend redefines the dance music scene. Astara’s journey, originating from the vibrant streets of New York City, has been a remarkable blend of diverse musical influences with early exposure to classical piano and the mellow tunes of James Taylor and Simon & Garfunkel, which laid a foundation for his evolving sound.
However, it was the underground house music of New York that directed his fate through life, steering him toward a world where nuance and niche make or break a career. Astara’s mix for Magnetic Magazine is a captivating showcase of his journey as an artist, highlighting a sound that marries the soulful storytelling of Nashville with the infectious grooves of New York and Chicago house music.
The mix features an eclectic tracklist, including Astara’s own “DSCO Girl” and the unreleased “Walk Through Fire,” highlighting his adeptness at crafting tracks that resonate on a deeper, more personal level. Tracks like “In My Soul” by Zsac and “Take Me Away (Qubiko remix)” by Mirko and Meex complement Astara’s work, creating a seamless journey through sound.
