Paying tribute to his favourite video game soundtrack ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’, Glenn Astro lays down Zonin’ - an EP made up of two acts, releasing September 23.

‘Hydrocity Zone’ is a level on Sonic The Hedgehog 3, and its theme has become recognized as a pinnacle of chiptune music composed by Howard Drossin.

On ‘Hydro City Zone (Act 1)’ Astro replaces the new jack swing groove of the original version with a steady house beat and expresses the warm, imaginative melodies through his own array of synths. More than just an exercise in nostalgia, it’s a killer track in its own right bursting with playful, psychedelic themes and infectious eccentricity.

‘Hydro City Zone (Act 2)’ is the deeper downtempo flip to the sprightly bounce of the A side, taking a more interpretive approach that simmers down the frenetic pace of Drossin’s composition with a minimal backbeat and a moody bassline broken up with buoyant jazzy keys.

Alongside the digital release, Astro’s Zonin’ EP has been pressed up in an ultra-limited run of just 30 copies, available exclusively through Bandcamp

Heat

This world just doesn't feel right anymore.
Sometimes, everything just becomes too much. So I keep locking myself away in thoughts of better times.

This is Volume 5 of a series of nostalgic Synth-Pop songs with the distinctive sound of the 1990s, meant to send you back to a time when everything felt so much better.

Immerse yourself in lush analog synths, atmospheric and melancholic synthesizer sounds, and retro drum machines that paint a bittersweet story of memory, longing, and the search for hope.

Whether you're driving alone at night, working from home, or simply closing your eyes and drifting away — this music is your ticket to another time.
Perfect for late-night drives, creative moments, or simply letting go, drifting lost in thought.
