MUSIC VIDEO: ASTR – “Operate”

We just recently came across ASTR, one of those diamond-in-the-rough Soundcloud finds. Amongst their minimal catalog, “Operate” immediately stood out and has continued to on repeat for the majority of this past week. “Operate” is a killer, catchy track with a thick beat, infectious hooks, snare claps, rolling high-hat, and ambient synth work. It’s smooth […]
