Glenn Astro and Hulk Hodn are connected through a long-lasting musical friendship. With their Detroit-inspired house releases, they gained wider recognition by critics and listeners alike. Nevertheless, they’ve never been one-dimensional artists. Berlin-based Glenn Astro‘s diversified approach to production as showcased on labels such as NinjaTune and Tartelet bridges the gaps between ambient, hip-hop, techno and bass.
Ahead of their new full-length record
Ghosts
via Kommerz Records on August 26th, the duo kick starts by dropping singles « Deep » featuring super talented singer AGGi from Aarhus and lo-fi garage beat « RX5“. For « Deep » producers Glenn Astro and Hulk Hodn invited Danish singer AGGi (formerly known as AGGi DiX) to refine their spacious and detailed production with psychedelic layers of neo-soul vocals.
The young songwriter explores her desire for intimate and meaningful encounters with herself, explaining,“I wrote “Deep” in a period of time when I was frustrated about my life situation and how my relations were going. I was not paying attention to the ones I love and I was not paying to myself either. Music was my only friend – and enemy – at that time. I wanted to be accepting and let go of my ego.“
B side track « RX5 » is a deep, but hard-hitting solo instrumental featuring progressive UK garage aesthetics and a funky bassline. The duo develops their exploration of new aesthetics even further through synthesized soundscapes and numerous collaborations with young talent from all over the world.
