Last Saturday I had the honour to open and close an amazing gathering called @disco_necta 🍃In its second year, it has in my opinion, become a place where music dictates moods and the people are often in for a sonic ride.

My opening set this year is a special one to me as it features songs that I have been digging all in vinyl and a majority of them are from independent artists from Brasil. Most of these records were found through the guidance and incredible curatorial skills from two unique music researchers a.k.a diggers from Brasil. @gustavokeno and @rodrigobreaksandbeats who I thank you for the love and sharing of invaluable music.

In all, this is a little bit of a story telling, some would say it’s not dance-floor oriented, I beg to differ. I am also dedicating this one to my father, my biggest music mentor 🪘❤️

"Coming from a planet far far away, there's something different about Astronafrica. Outlandish grooves and spacey vibes accompany his every move, and his cosmic soul radiates intergalactic dance-vibrations through every living organism he comes in contact with." words by @subsonicmusic

"Amante da antropofagia, Astronafrica transita e transmuta pelo organico e o eletronico de forma bem peculiar. Ha 15 anos morando em Sydney- Australia, Astronafrica entre outras coisas alastra a musica Brasileira e as influencias afro psico-tropicais que formam sua identidade. Atuante da cena independente em Sydney, Astronafrica faz um bem bolado atraves da festa Mixagi cujo e fundador, mas tambem e DJ residente da festa Afrobrasiliana e foi apresentador do programa semanal Vibez Brazil por onze anos (2007 - 2018) na Eastside Radio 89.7FM (Sydney).  

Como DJ ainda se considera um aprendiz, mas ja tocou ao lado de Nicola Cruz (ZZK) Chancha Via Circuito (Wonderwheel Recordings) Nickodemus, Miles Cleret (Soundway Records) Hugo Mendes (Sofrito) Millos Kaiser (Soundway Records), Thiago Guiselini (Soul.Set) Martha Van Strateen (Laut & Louise) Mike Steva (Yoruba Records) entre outros."
