Astralix é o projeto do DJ e produtor Caique Souza, natural de São Paulo. Atuando desde 2023, Astralix constrói sets que unem técnica e sensibilidade, criando atmosferas hipnóticas e pistas sempre em movimento.

Com formação em mixagem pelo Studio Leo Casagrande, Caique complementou sua trajetória com mentoria em produção musical com Mitsunari, buscando aprimorar cada detalhe do seu som. No palco, já dividiu line-up com nomes como Dickster, levando sua identidade para públicos diversos.

O trabalho do Astralix vai além da seleção de faixas: cada apresentação é pensada como uma jornada, conectando o público de forma orgânica através de timbres psicodélicos, drops bem construídos e uma condução dinâmica que mantém a pista viva do início ao fim.

Sempre atento às tendências, mas sem perder sua essência, Astralix representa um psytrance moderno, dançante e com assinatura própria.
