By popular demand! Here is my full direct support opening set for Sam Wolfe at 808 in El Paso at the start of the month! 

Little backstory behind this recording. I arrived at 808 early to see if my iPad would be able to record the entire set. Tragically when I plugged in the iPad, 3 of the 4 mixers went into emergency loop mode, so I thought recording the set live was out the window! 

However, 15 minutes before I went on, @samwolfemusic himself showed up to the venue and as you can imagine, I was more nervous than I should be! What I wasn't expecting was him to offer to record my set for me! I was so extatic and I couldn't say no to that! 

This was my very first direct support set and I was astonished to have been given a full crowd by the time Jennnaay & Skyshinobi handed the decks off to me! Thank you so much to everyone whom came down to see me play my first direct support set, I had the best of times! Thank you to SMG Events & 808 for having me. And much love to Sam for bringing the raging techno to El Paso! 🔥 

Expect dark tunes from the likes of Cirez D, Rene Wise, Weska, Jay Lumen, Tayyar, Wehbba, & many more! Hope you enjoy ❤️

iamsvrp @ 808 El Paso, United States (3/1/2025) (Direct Support for Sam WOLFE)

The opening of "Shadow" introduces us to a world of musical subtlety, where a gentle piano melody dances gracefully upon the airwaves. It's a moment of tranquility, drawing listeners closer as they surrender to the song's enchanting allure. The piano's ethereal timbre invites introspection, setting the stage for what lies ahead.

With a calculated buildup of anticipation, Astro-Cat takes us on a crescendoing ride. A wave of energy washes over the crowd as the track drops into an explosive major beat. The room comes alive with an infectious energy, an electric current surging through every individual, igniting a collective euphoria that unifies the dancefloor.

As the beat drops, the power of "Shadow" is fully unleashed. A tidal wave of sound envelops the senses, anchored by a commanding bassline that reverberates through the very core of the music. The crowd becomes an integral part of the experience, their bodies moving in synchrony, propelled by the irresistible rhythm that Astro-Cat has meticulously crafted.

The progressive house elements in "Shadow" showcase Astro-Cat's prowess as a master architect of sound.

NE3ULA [A Future Memory]

Blurring the lines between electronic bass music, immersive design, and emotional storytelling, NE3ULA shapes frequencies into moments that feel both alien and deeply human. The sound is a signal—broadcasting from a parallel timeline where music evolves with the listener.

Each release is a piece of the larger world being built: the NE3ULAVERSE. This isn’t just music—it’s groundwork for something bigger.

The signal’s getting stronger. Stay tuned.
