The scent of freshly mowed grass, the smell of a freezer or the sight of wet pavements drying in the sun...Anything can work as inspiration for a new track made by AstroPoser. This young producer started his career at the tender age of 13. Initially churning out hardcore gabber tunes he gradually develloped a more subtle approach to making music. After 10 years of abusing vst's, mixing up idm, hiphop, and techno with the sounds of creased paper, plastic cups or copy machines, AstroPoser has managed to create a style that is uniquely his own but also akin. Surprised to see men like Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and many other great artists out there succesfully releasing music he has been making and listening to for all these years, AstroPoser decided it's time for him too to leave the basement. No holds barred.
