AstroLogical

There multiple artists with this name: 1)Astrological - real name: Kai Kasprzyk. Started as a dj in 1992. 1993-95 has played at the legendary Sun-Spirit Parties (with Christian Lindner, Tschaba, Phillip, Joti Sidhu). Then played at Mother Earth (Hamburg), Sub Body Experience, Shabnala, The Experiment and Contact To Fly (with Mike Maguire). In 1994 his project Astrological was launched. 2)AstroLogical (Nate Drobner) is a multi-instrumentalist hiphop/trip-hop producer from Vancouver B.C. His music develops between organic sound textures of jazz, ambient and future beat, passing by the clear influences of seventies prog. His work is instrumental but often records his own voice. Currently releasing music under the Jellyfish Recordings net label (www.jellyfishrecordings.com), he is also the main beatmaker in Elekwent Folk (www.facebook.com/elekwentfolk) and plays bass and keyboards in Panther & The Supafly (www.facebook.com/panthersupafly). "Once in a while, there comes an artist that will make an impact on an entire scene. Like J-Dilla before him, I believe that Vancouver’s own AstroLogical is the next step in hip-hop evolution. Within his solo works, and the 3 groups he is part of (Elekwent Folk, Potatohead People and Panther & The Supafly) there is a constant. That constant is unending creativity and an absolutely captivating style. An AstroLogical album is something that is meant to be put on and fully listened to, something that is easily done. Each song is a step in a complete journey, and by the end of each album all you can do is want more. I had the opportunity to speak with Astro about his process and his many projects. I suggest you throw on his latest EP ‘Polynesian Dream’ " Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
