Born in a small town and not knowing much about music, Joshua David, living as the guise
Upsidedown Astronaut, began getting into records and DJing in high school. He spent his
college fund on a new computer and drum machine and expanded his musical taste to indie
rock, funk, jazz and hip hop. After a brief stint of making purely sample-based music, he
started sampling his own melodies and beats and joined a new genre of electronic noise
expanding the hip hop genre.
Influenced by almost every genre of music, the debut album from Upsidedown Astronaut
titled "FLIGHT 1998" has songs with a noise pop feel reminiscent of bands like Spritulized or Arcade Fire. From the original compositions written by Joshua David, a band will be formed to accomplish what one man cannot on his own.
"I want to do something new with my music,"
UA said. "I found what I wanted to do musically
while working on this new album," which meant
more synthesized effects, pop melodies, and funk,
rock and disco samples for the debut album Flight-
1998 released in 2008 on Kid Without Radio.
