             Opening up the fall season, Astral Records welcomes Arash 
             Shadram to the label for his debut EP. Initially recognized for 
             his BladeandBeard band, Iranian artist Arash Shadram broke out 
             in solo capacity three years ago with a highly stylized brand of 
             cosmic techno. Be Free Recordings,
             Einmusika, Radikon, Running Clouds and more have played host to 
             his elusive sound, while
             melodic house and techno tastemakers have championed his 
             creations along the way. Now,
             following a remix for Somatic Records, Arash makes his Astral 
             Records debut with 'Immaculate'
             alongside remixes from Ran Salman and Asonante.
             Beginning with the title selection Arash crafts a dramatic yet 
             emotive piece complete with
             timeless narratives. Following a DJ friendly intro it's a 
             selection of delicate arps which provide a
             cosmic storyboard over a bed of pulsating beats and driving 
             percussion. Wavy modulation and
             siren-like themes unite for a perfect combination of tension and 
             exhilaration, pushing onwards
             to a thumping finale. Meanwhile, on 'Little Ways' Arash 
             continues to explore the darker
             narratives for which he has become known. A tough, deliberate 
             groove sits at the foundation,
             while prophetic designs and lively percussive arrangements add 
             bounce and drive. Looking to
             bring greater emotional depth, the main break melts down to 
             symphonic synth phrasing,
             allowing the listener to relish in its colourful glow as the 
             groove returns for a tastefully
             triumphant conclusion.
             The first interpretation of 'Immaculate' is provided by Ran 
             Salman who makes his label debut.
             No stranger to the Movement Recordings family, the Israeli 
             artist made his Movement debut in
             May of 2017 with a remix of Natural Flow's 'Floating', before 
             going to remix Paul Anthonee's
             'Cheveux Roux' the following year. Also laying claim to projects 
             via Atlant, Radikon, The
             Soundgarden and more, Ran now makes his Astral Records debut 
             with a powerful take on
             'Immaculate'. Complete with striking melodic fragments, 
             hyperactive rhythms and a forest of
             prophetic designs, it's an adrenalized energy-rush for the ages 
             - one where Ran lands at his
             creative best.
             Returning to the label for the second and final interpretation 
             of 'Immaculate' is Asonante. The
             Spanish artist made his Astral debut last year with the lead 
             selection on the label's popular
             'Celestial' collection. His dark atmospheric sound has also 
             found a home on Infinite Depth and
             WOOD, the latter of which has been his primary home since first 
             emerging in 2018. Continuing
             to build a bond with Astral, Asonante makes a welcome return to 
             the label for his first remix,
             taking 'Immaculate' into otherworldly territory. Spanning seven 
             magical minutes, Asonante's
             imaginative rework resonates on a profound level, as he expertly 
             transforms the parts into a
             consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas where sleek 
             dance floor minded grooves
             meet icy percussion, ethereal effects and hopeful overlays.
