‘Mericas own WMD Astronomar is set to leave Australia a cratered smokey mess as he heads out on a nation wide club tour with stops in Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide and Brisbane. We checked in with the part owner of the relatively new forward thinking electro and house label Main Course for a quick streamable chart of what we’ll be expecting to hear and a good snapshot of some ridiculous club bangers.

The LA based producer showcases his taste in dance with a strong Hip-Hop influence that permeates in his productions and has inadvertently put him at the forefront of a core G-House movement that has been headed by the likes of Justin Martin and co.

Astronomar ‘#Austronomartour Dates
Melbourne: August 30th, Cant Say,
Sydney: August 31st, The Usual Suspects, Soho Bar
Newcastle: September 1st, King Street Hotel
Adelaide: September 6th, Electric Circus
Brisbane: September 7th, The Bowler Bar

2. Atumpan – The Thing (Switch & Trooko remix)

8. Tony Quattro – Super Bad
THIS JOINT! god damn.. pure lava. coming soon as a SNACKS on Main Course.

9. DJ Fresh VS Diplo feat. Dominique Young Unique – “Earthquake (Astronomar remix)
(Only charting myself so I can share the story behind this one, I promise!)
I initially made a ragga-jungle inspired bootleg edit of DJ Fresh’s “UP (Earthquake)” for my edit series called Untrapped . I sent it to JWLS, and he insist I send it to Diplo; so I did. then maybe 4 days later I received a message containing a mail chain with the folks at Ministry Of Sound expressing interest in releasing it. so I go the stems, cleaned it up.. and now it has been released by one of the biggest dance labels ever.. weird how this stuff works out sometimes lol.

10. Motez – Take Off
From right in your own backyard! First heard this track in an Eats Everything radio mix, and was chair dancing like i wasn’t driving a car, but I was…. I was being careful tho. Motez also contributed (along with myself) to the remix pack for What So Not’s “High You Are” Remix EP which should be available very soon!
