DJ tool a tool for the DJs or a DJ who is a tool, (DL would be appreciate either way)

Chris Decato remembers 1988 in Portsmouth by the private hours he spent over a Tascam 234 stacking layers of guitar and pulsing synth on tape. The recordings from these sessions, Transmissions, are now available to the public via Astro Nautico on cassette and digital formats for the first time.

Mazing through clouds of arpeggiated guitar (“Spectral Interference”) and foggy Roland D-50 pads, Transmissions soothes and coaxes with youthful romanticism (“A Promise”) and somber mystery (“The Call”). Decato wrote the music as a 17-year-old living with his brother in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Decato says his tape experiments sounded like “fairy princess music” in comparison with the hard rock popular in the region at the time, so he mostly kept it to himself.

“This was stuff that I never ever thought anyone would want to listen to,” Decato said. “It was this hidden side of myself that no one knew about.”

For years, the only people who had heard Transmissions were a handful of family members, friends, and a small group of commercial video producers to whom Decato had sent his demos. When Astro Nautico’s Sam O.B. heard the recordings on a visit to Lake Mascoma in New Hampshire (as seen in the artwork of Transmissions)...  more

The Newcomer - Crossing Into New Life

Glot - DJ Tool

Sam O.B. returns to Astro Nautico with a rolling dance single featuring vocals by Brooklyn-based indie-pop artist Denitia. Bass guitar leads the way for fat kick-snare interplay, and Denitia’s voice floats together with dreamy swirling synth arpeggios on top. A potent mixture for cleaning a bedroom or filling a dance floor.

“When We’re Awake” is available now digitally on Astro Nautico.

When We're Awake

Sam O.B. feat. Denitia - When We're Awake

Photay and Sam O.B. collide once again for the second of two EPs this year under the moniker Ensemble Entendu. Pastoral Dusk Themes EP evokes images deep and rolling. Lead off ‘Hully Bully’ portrays a nighttime landscape turned into electric jelly jiggling to the beat of forlorn drums. Ensemble Entendu’s take on library music here expands to include the stoic cumbia inflections of ‘Ritmo Antiguo’ and the fourth world ambient reflections of ‘Loon Interlude’ and ‘Mascoma.’ Each track brings a palpable imagined geography, a space within which to think and feel emergent states of departure. ‘Lakeview’ finishes the release with a colorful, astral spaciousness, something like aurora borealis converted into synthesized sound.

Ensemble Entendu began as a collaborative project of Photay and Sam O.B. They set out exploring library music and the tradition of rhythm tracks, emphasizing driving drums and basslines in their stripped down productions. The Brooklyn-based producers are now shaping a music uniquely situated between their already unique solo artistic voices.

Pastoral Dusk Themes EP and its recently released companion Music For The Densely Populated, Vol. 2 are available for digital download via Astro Nautico.
