The dance music history of Spain comes to the foggy metropolis of Seattle on the latest release from Feral One Records, a three-track EP entitled Devil from the Seville-based electronic outfit Space Castorz.

Every new phenomenon within popular music comes with accusations of being “devil music.” It happened with jazz, rock, rap, and now electronic music is taking the hellish title via its association with pure debauchery.

The thing is, Space Castorz have been dancing with the devil for over ten years, and they’ve produced numerous genres during that time including dubstep and drum & bass, now moving towards house and techno.

The Devil EP in particular explores minimal sounds, with a trio of cuts that grab hold of your soul like Lucifer himself is possessing you to dance.

Beginning with “Bombon,” an affected vocal sample comes across like someone is so enthralled with the acid-tinged rhythms that they’re speaking in tongues. Not that anyone would need evil spirits to get them moving to this major groover.

The title track comes second with an equally effective minimal aesthetic, but with an added dose of intrigue through elements like an atmospheric, affected saxophone. The lyrics are clear this time, proudly proclaiming “Shit is the devil,” but with a seductive tone that elucidates this shit is real good.

Then to close, the Devil reveals himself with a shift to tech house on “Don’t Like.” Everything about this track is dark. From the galloping bassline pulled straight from a death metal band’s toolbox, to the haunting choral blast samples placed at the exact right moments, to the ominous breakdown that lets you know the prince of darkness is about to crash this party.

Acoustic Astronaut is recognized by the New Mexico Music Awards, VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, Song of the Year, Sirius XM, and has been featured on numerous compilation albums. The Songwriter & Executive Producer of Acoustic Astronaut is Dave Alyassin. His achievements over a 30 span are one small step for Creativity and one Giant Leap for Musical Freedom. Bands that have covered AA’s material include Texas’ own J Ryan, The West Coast original progressive rock band, Hands of Time, & New Mexico’s own songwriter Troy Garrity.

Acoustic Astronaut’s biggest hit single before Destruction Mill, was Mystical Ages released under the Racecar moniker. The self-titled album released in 2004, was distributed and played around the world with Mystical showing up on numerous compilations including the Guess Who’s Canadian label. The album was recorded by David Cragin in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Cragin produced all of the songs and added all of the cool instrumentation that make the album the great listening experience that it is. 20 years later the re-mastered song and accompanying new video is splashing down around the world again catching the ears of a new generation.

The 2nd album, Dance Like a Ghost, under the same band name was awarded Best Rock CD in New Mexico and was produced in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Academy Award nominee, Jeffery Mettling at Trinity Recording Studios. Both Racecar albums were mastered in Santa Fe, New Mexico by Andrew Click at Stepbridge Studio. Guest appearances include Simon Widdowson, Jon Trujillo, Anya Alyassin, Gamze Guckiran and Willy Magee. Also, David Cragin of Santa Fe Soundworks, Steven Howell of Jonasol Studio & Julian Lopez of Crazy Productions Studio.

Judges awarding the album Dance Like A Ghost included Rick Derringer, who has played with The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Alice Cooper, Steely Dan, Kiss, Todd Rundgren and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Rick’s classic hit, "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" is a standard. Other judges included Elvin Bishop and Randy Brecker. Randy has seven Grammy nominations under his belt and a double Grammy for the album "Out of the Loop''. He has played with Stanley Clarke, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Larry Coryell, David Sanborn and Frank Zappa.

Now with Acoustic Astronaut, Dave is flexing his production prowess on new releases such as Feathers From My Wing, Destruction Mill and Saving My Dream. Some good recordings recently came out of Stats Movement Records in Albuquerque, notably, an original looped riff called Just a Babe. Rojello and The Crazy Mexican did him right.

Acoustic Astronaut had an underground classic song called Music Heroes of America with their publisher in Nashville, Diamond Garden Music. The song has been pitched to prominent producers who listen to songs for Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Chris Stapleton among other recording artists. Another song is on the way to them.

Dave also plays in the Worship Band at Peoples Church of Santa Fe.

Heartbreaks ⚔️

After nearly a year of recovering from temporary damage to my ears, I'm slowly making my way back to music. During ADE 2022 I had a 7 hour long set in Escape Amsterdam, without hearing protection. While I thought that my music career was finished after this set due to hearing problems, I'm finding myself to be fully healed at this moment. 

After a year of reconsidering what to do, I recovered my old love for House music so here it is, my first official Tech House release.
