[Dance] ASTR – Activate Me (Darkchild Mix)

ASTR
Activate Me (Darkchild Mix)

It’s been a hot minute since ASTR‘s last release. After gaining much popularity over their track “Operate” and their cover of Drake‘s “Hold On, We’re Going Home”, the NY-based duo explores a new sound heavily influenced by disco music. With the help of Rodney Jenkins a.k.a Darkchild with the mixing of the track, ASTR creates yet another masterpiece. The drums are cleverly crafted and versatile, further bringing out the suspense of the tune. Zoe’s vocals perfectly accentuate the catchy melodies in what seems to be another popular hit single.

ASTR once again shows high-quality in their music. There’s not a track they came out with that we do not favor. With an everchanging sound, sky is the limit for the duo.

[Denver Giveaway/Event Preview] TMN Presents: ASTR + The Knocks (Live) – 6/24/14 – Larimer Lounge

The Music Ninja is ecstatic to be presenting two of our absolute favorite burgeoning acts, both out of New York, ASTR and The Knocks (Live)  next Tuesday in Denver, CO.  There’s a veritable buzz circulating around the TMN office as of late, and it’s pretty safe to say that is has to do with June 24th. Just 6 months removed from their Varsity EP, ASTR, whose story sounds like something out of a movie, bring their cimmerian, R&B tinged brand of electronica and pop for the first time to Denver with an incredible supporting cast. Also on the stacked bill is a very special live set from nu-disco revivalists The Knocks. While they’ve brought performances with regularity to Denver in recent times, most have come in the form of DJ sets, and to have them plying their craft in their true vision is always an inviting, raucous experience. We’ve once again teamed  up with our friends at the Larimer Lounge to get you ninjas involved in what will be without a doubt a can’t miss concert and one of TMN’s most anticipated nights of 2014. We’re giving away not one, two or three, but FIVE pairs of tickets to our studious readers through Facebook (just follow the instructions below) and for our friends who would rather not take their chances and want to secure a place in what will be a tightly packed venue, grab your tickets here.

Entering is a breeze. Simply “like” The Music Ninja, ASTR and The Knocks Facebook pages and share our Facebook status here for a chance to win! The contest runs until the day of the show, June 24th, at 5:00 p.m., and our winners will be contacted via Facebook but there are a few rules of course:

– You must be 16 or over to enter.
– You are responsible for transportation to the venue
– You must bring a valid form of ID to pick up your tickets at the door..
– You must promise to have as much damn fun as possible on our behalf

Listen to a couple of our favorite tunes below from ASTR, “Operate” and The Knocks “The One” below to tune your cochlear cavities before the show.
