Chris Johnson - El Salvador - ASTIR recordings
Chris Johnson returns to the label with a stocking original - El Salvador.
One of our original artists, Chris ran his own label back in the day (Axon) and has gone on to have great success in the Trance scene with several releases for Activa’s sensational Borderline imprint, as well as Black Hole, Lost Language and Pure Trance.
Back in the prog world, El Salvador lays down a solid tribal groove that vibrates with life. Lush sonics, ethereal vocals and whip-smart melodics complete this unashamed summer jam. The clouds are parting and the sunshine is pouring through. Embrace joy!
Just the single track here, no need for remixes when the original is so good!
Big ups,
TeamASTIR

Mid 2017 and some friends are discussing the music scene. They are unsatisfied by the way the big labels appear to sell out to a bandwagon sound that would eventually fall out of favour 6/8 months down the line and reminisced about the great labels of yesteryear, for whom quality and integrity played as much a part of the A&R process as originality and production value.
From this discussion came the idea of starting a new record label founded on old-fashioned ideals, a place where original, forward thinking music would be not only celebrated but be the norm. A place where the producer would not be abused and expected to master their own productions at their own cost and see most of the profits from their hard work swallowed up in distribution fees and label costs.
A place where the artists could build a community; a place of shared ideas and off the cuff collaborations. A place where the art of music would not be lost, giving way to mass media marketing and watering down of ideas for mass consumer consumption. A record label you can once again trust to weed out the mediocre and deliver time and again GREAT music.
A label by DJs, for DJs and the music-loving public. A label such as ASTIR recordings
