Astral Walkers- Passage (Astral Stroll)

A colourful whirling vortex, the true embodiment of an astral stroll.

Quite often you’ll be able to find decent music among the recommendations on various streaming platforms. Sometimes you’re met with gold, which is exactly I’ve found in this entrancing Deep House with vibrantly painted with jazz. The Astral Walkers are a collaboration between the artists AYBEE and Lars Bartkuhn of Berlin and Frankfurt respectively. While this is my first encounter with either of these artists, each has a reasonably lengthy back catalogue there to be explored.

The Passage (Astral Stroll) is the second side of the Passage E.P. released in 2017. The E.P. as a whole is a magnificent journey through different textures, feels and instrumentation held together by a the consistent mixture of primally charged rhythms and swaggering jazzy lead instrumentation.

Rhythmically this track is hypnotic. Arpeggiated bass, melodically proficient drum parts and rhythmically whispered vocals intermingle through a fog of synthesisers to create a vibrant soundscape for the lead instrumentation to shine through. The organic tones and jazz chording of the piano add a particular warmth and colour to the piece. It is a great melding of styles that makes this so attention grabbing and worthy of recognition. 

If you enjoyed, the check out the whole E.P. on the link below.
