             Astral Records rounds out the month of November by welcoming 
             Re-Type to the label for their debut EP. Based in Belgium and 
             made up of Pieter and Lucas, the Re-Type duo first emerged in 
             2021 with a release via Found Frequencies. Finding a nice 
             balance between progressive and melodic house and techno, 
             'Reasons' firmly established Re-Type as a new duo to watch. 
             Continuing on an upwards trajectory, Re-Type continues to build 
             on their creative synergy with their Astral Records debut 
             'Drowning', alongside a remix from Alex Haube.  

             Beginning with title selection 'Drowning' Re-Type calls upon the 
             vocal talents of Luke Coulson. This multi-genre artist has a 
             complementary attitude that channels his inimitable ability to 
             inject an already profound track with authentic soul. A precious 
             talent that has already seen him collaborate with some of the 
             world's finest labels such as Days Like Nights and This Never 
             Happened. Smooth and mysterious from the outset, its warm low 
             end and undulating rhythms provide hip swinging drive, while 
             flickering percussion and haunting atmospheres fill in the 
             framework. Luke's vocals emerge as the first act progresses, 
             blanketing the pulsating groove with goosebump worthy moments, 
             before astral stabs and emotive chord changes provide a bridge 
             into the main break. Cavernous and calm, the centerpiece melts 
             down allowing the vocal to breathe with its hopeful qualities 
             stealing the air, before an understated drop sparks a smooth and 
             emotive finale. The companion piece 'Endless' follows with an 
             equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Its muscular 
             groove, striking percussion and hopeful sensibility set the 
             stage for quirky arps to emerge leading into the break. Opening 
             up further, the interlude adds depth as clustered phrasing and 
             blustery sonics spearhead a charged drop and trance-inducing 
             final act.  

             Rounding out the release with the lone interpretation of 
             'Drowning' is Alex Haube who makes his label debut. Well 
             established as a producer and DJ for over a decade, Belgian 
             artist Alex Huabe has showcased his music via Infinite Depth, 
             Running Clouds and Watergate Records, while performing on some 
             of the world's premiere stages in Tomorrowland, Extrema Outdoor, 
             Paradise City Festival and more. Now making his Astral Records 
             debut, Alex dials in a strong rendition of 'Drowning'. Drawing 
             on the sensibilities of the original, the Belgian artist reworks 
             the foundation with punchier kicks and tighter grooves. 
             Resonating perfectly against the thunderous backbone are 
             enlightening vocal phrases, striking at opportune moments, while 
             crunchy sonics provide additional colour onwards to a heartfelt 
             break and thrilling finale. A heady interpretation from Alex to 
             cap off an excellent release for Astral Records, one where 
             Re-Type and Alex Haube make impressive label debuts.
