A Fan Boy Moment: Astronoid

When I do find the time to write, I typically focus on new releases. Seeing as how music blogging has come fourth to a full-time career, being a dad, and trying to have a 30 minutes of silence once in a while, hunting and posting new tunes has fallen by the wayside.

That said, I discovered Astronoid a few months back. To be perfectly honest with you, I can’t stop listening to them.

If you’ve spent any time on this site, you’d know that we don’t really don’t cover anything heavier than crunchy riffs on an Americana track. This contradicts a large portion of my personal tastes, as I’m an avid fan for the heavy stuff–speed metal, metalcore, post-metal, post-punk, etc. Seeing as how Astronoid is the perfect blend of both dreamy, hazy vocals, long builds, and brutally fast and technically sound instrumentation, I figured today would be the day to bring some head banging to TMN.

If you’re the type that says “I can’t stand the screaming in metal. No matter how talented the band is, I just can’t get past it,” then today is your day. Think of Jonas Bjerre from Mew. Ah, those dreamy, all-encompassing vocals. Now pair that thought with the speed and oft-brutal double kicks, insane shredding, and brutal breakdowns you’d find in a metal track. You with me? That’s what you’ll find with Astronoid. Two worlds, perfectly mashed together.

[House] Introducing: GENESI – ‘Everything You Have Done’ + ‘See Your Sweat’

In a few transformative years, GENESI has swiftly made his mark on the sprawling universe of dance music. The Italian DJ and producer brings a fresh blend of Melodic House, Techno, and deep underground currents, crafting a sound that’s uniquely his own—immediate, distinct, and brimming with atmosphere. There’s an intentionality in every moment, a feeling that carries GENESI’s passion for the culture he came up in, pulling listeners into his intricate web of evocative, kinetic energy.

Among the standout moments of GENESI’s journey are two heavyweight tracks: “Everything You Have Done (Meduza Edit)” and “See You Sweat” alongside Max Styler.

“Everything You Have Done” is a story in itself, moving through hypnotic basslines and melodic textures that have propelled it to over 65 million streams on Spotify. It dominated — sitting charting comfortably on Beatport’s All Genres and Bass House charts, supported in sets by scene icons like Solomun, Dom Dolla, and John Summit. Then there’s “See You Sweat,” a showcasing of GENESI’s groove-driven tech house side, which simply impresses from start to finish.

But the story doesn’t stop in the studio.

On stage, he’s left his mark at legendary spots—Hï Ibiza, Creamfields UK, Drumsheds London—turning these venues into extensions of his sound. As 2025 unfolds, GENESI’s upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing, as the energy around him continues to build, feeding off the magic of his music and the audience’s collective anticipation.
