Change your tune for the weekend with BURO’s weekly playlist brought to you by the ‘IT’ djs and artists in town.
Today, look no further than this super-duper playlist curated to take you on a sonic adventure by ASTRO. So, whether you’re looking to jam out with friends or chill this week-end, hit play and let the music take over. Get ready to be transported to a whole new world of sound and enjoy the ride.
Meet ASTRO, the Palestinian artist of Moroccan-Lebanese roots who’s taking the Arab music scene to another dimension. A sonic trailblazer since 2020, he’s one of the rare voices daring to dive head-first into psychedelic hip-hop, and he’s making the genre not only heard, but felt across the region.
Think atmospheric beats, trippy textures, old-school rock echoes, and new-wave rap energy, ASTRO’s sound sits somewhere between a dream, a memory, and a late-night cosmic trip. Inspired by the likes of Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, and Kanye West, he’s crafting his own universe, and the Arab world is tuning in.
His boundary-pushing music has earned nods from industry favorites like Blvxb, Lhaj, and Synaptik, and with distribution via In Lights, his influence is expanding across borders and playlists. Speaking of playlists, ASTRO’s tracks have already landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Arabia, New Music Friday Levant, New Music Friday السعودية, and New Music Friday UAE.
He’s also electrified stages, including a standout performance at BLTNM’s Berlin takeover alongside Shabjdeed and Al Nather.
And this weekend, he’s doing more than soundtracking your mood, ASTRO has officially curated BURO’s weekend playlist, bringing his cosmic taste straight to your speakers.
Buckle up. You’re about to enter ASTRO’s universe, HERE.
