One Week (UK) - Origins EP - ASTIR recordings
We start the year with three new originals from One Week (UK).
Beginning its life as a concept EP, Origins tracks the birth of One Week’s hometown of Bath in the south west of the UK. Known for its ties to the Roman invasion circa 44AD, there is a rich folklore that tells of a leper prince in the dark ages who was banished from his land and became a swineherd. During this time, his pigs found a seemingly magic mud pit that transformed their skin, leading the prince to wallow in the mud himself and curing his leprosy. That prince returned to claim his land and became King Bladud, a fabled king of the ancient Britons.
Across three tracks, One Week explores rhythm and groove mixing melody with rap lyrics to create a cohesive, floor-focused EP. On ‘Bladud’s Pigs chunky grooves and repeated phases create an upfront floor filler for the warm up DJs. ‘Origin Story’ continues the theme the a smooth prog trance vibe that undulates with grace and style. Finally, ‘The Mind’, already favoured by scene hero Anthony Pappa, brings it all home. Chunky grooves for the cold nights, just like we like them.
Keep it ASTIR in 2026

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
