Ancient Astronauts

Hello everybody,

we are proud to announce the release of our album The Orion Nebula Remixes through ESL Music. It was released on the 1st of may as a digital release and vinyl. you can have a pre-listen here:

Our aim was to gather some of our favorite producers on this album and let them do their unique interpretations of the original music. We are really happy with the result and the cast of producers. Maker from Chicago, J-Boogie from San Francisco, Subatomic Sound System from NYC, Kabanjak himself as well with his other solo moniker Deela, DJ Brace from Montreal and Second Sky & Thomas Blondet from Washington DC all did a great job and delivered a heavy doze of remixes. Timewarp Inc from Athens and ourselves did remixes that were not included on the album but soon will be given away for free through our Soundcloud account.

From booming Hip Hop to modern Dub to Latin inspired Downtempo to Afro driven and wobbly Breakbeats, everything is there for you on this album.

you can purchase the vinyl directly through the ESL Music webshop for an unbeatable package price of 10,- USD for 7″ and 12″:

Salute,

we know you´ve been waiting for some new Ancient Astronauts material since our album “Into Bass And Time” last year. As you might know Kabanjak has several solo projects and has been working a lot for new releases as Deela as well as his collaborations with Fat Albert Einstein or DJ Brace. And those of you that followed all our steps know that the last months saw releases of Reggae loaded Ancient Astronauts remixes for SEE-I, Subatomic Sound System & Anthony B as well as our DC homies Nappy Riddem. Recently finished remixes include one for our new ESL Music label mate Congo Sanchez, one for Kabanjak´s collabo EP with Fat Albert Einstein and one that is still a big surprise for you guys. We still cannot tell that secret yet but what we can tell you is that it´s one of the heaviest and heavy bass-loaded remixes we have done so far.

But we were talking about new stuff from Ancient Astronauts. On may 1st ESL Music will release our new album “The Orion Nebula Remixes” (ESL 197) which features a big load of remixes by cats like Maker, J-Boogie, DJ Brace, Subatomic Sound System, Kabanjak, Deela, Second Sky & Thomas Blondet and Timewarp Inc. Also featured on the album are Azeem, DJ Zeph, Monsoon and Entropik.

Here is the video for “Give It To You feat. Monsoon (Subatomic Sound System Remix)”:

The video is done by visual artist Uli Sigg from Cologne who also does the live visuals for our live sets. We hope you enjoy!

You can listen to a snippet mix of the new album “The Orion Nebula Remixes” here on this site in the “Music” section.

Much love from the Astros!

Hey world,

Here is a Mashup of 90´s Hip Hop classic “Come On Wit Da Git Down” by The Artifacts that we did in a smoky night session at Kabanjak´s Evergreen Studio around 2009/2010. We recently found it again, played it out a couple of times and were stoked by the great positive reaction of the people. This one is dedicated to the True School Hip Hop Headz out there who still follow the path of positive Hip Hop with a big portion of Soul.

This is a FREE download in exchange for your email.

Have fun listening!
