I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

EXPLORING ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

\\\ OCCULTURAL RITVAL DANSE MUSICK ///

TRANSMVTE now available at https://exastra.bandcamp.com/

Tracker chiptunes to divert the Evil Eye. Funky grooves to de-weaponize the universe at war with you. Ambient music to quell early 21st Century paranoia. Don't forget your complimentary motel bath towel...

As we drift away... 
Focused on a melody... 
The rhythm carries the mind to a place beyond...
An ocean of sound envelopes our body as  we   float    away
To a place we reach when our thoughts escape the confines of order.
For a moment we melt into the music and feel home.





Funkadelic Astronaut is a New Jersey based Funktronica group.  Initially formed in 2013 as a duo, the group has gone through multiple lineups in the never-ending search for the perfect sound.  Currently the band consists of Keyboardist Ryan Gavin, Drummer Kevin O’Neill, and Bassist Sam Luba.

The band is known for their heavy improvisational style: mixing intricate compositions with extended jam sections, never playing a song the same way twice. Drawing on inspirations from classic funk bands and present day electronica, Funkadelic Astronaut blends the best of both worlds to provide a unique sound known as “Funktronica”.

The group remains committed to their ongoing mission of bringing their “A-game” to their true passion-moving people with their music.

In 2017, Funkadelic Astronaut released their first EP as a full live band titled “Emergency Exit”.

In 2018, the band released their second EP titled “Magrathea”.
