Hard to say... a little bit of all my influences me thinks!
The Astrolabe is a blender of electronic music styles, from Chicago and Progressive house to electro, breakbeats and even a tango thrown in for good measure.
influenced by 90s dance titans like The Orb, Moby, Orbital, Underworld, NIN, and New Order, I started making music at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in the mid 90s. I tried on every musical hat possible...drum n bass, ambient/idm, synth pop, house, electro. I finally settled on borrowing a little bit from everywhere, but the aim is to always make you dance.
Started doing bootleg remixes in the 2000s to sharpen my technical skills and just to have a good time.
