Astral Magic

Astral Magic is a new solo project by ex-Dark Sun bass player Santtu also known as Dj Astro. During the covid-19 lockdown the idea came from the stars to do something creative to kill the extra time and get seriously into home-recording. Santtu plays everything by himself but some guests have been called in to help on drums, guitar etc. Musical styles vary from electronic/ambient/experimental to heavy space rock, kraut, psych rock, prog and even pop.

The first actual space rock vinyl debut album was released on Space Rock Productions in May 2021 and more electronic, experimental and ambient digital releases have been released on Bandcamp, CD-R and CD. In 2022 two albums were released on German labels Clostridium Records and Tonzonen Records. LP and CD called Am I Dreaming? was released on limited editions on Astral Magic Music (2023). Another LP release was Ad Infinintum with Bridget Wishart in 2024. This very prolific project will slow down a bit in 2025 while Santtu is focusing more on other projects like Chakra Vimana and Strange Vibrations.
