I first got turned on to Astro Nautico by checking out his dope mixes. Little did I know that he formed a collective! His crew has released an EP based on the tune Corcovado, and being a Bossa Nova fanatic I am interested. I’ll let the crew tell you more about the release:
Brooklyn beat collective Astro Nautico’s latest effort Quiet Nights EP is a kaleidoscopic journey from the heart of Brazilian jazz to the outer limits of experimental hip-hop and bass.
Featuring tracks by all three Astro Nautico artists (Kuhn, Obey City, +weed) and guest spots from both sides of the Atlantic (Young Montana?, Termeric, InfinitiRock, Thirsty Jefferson), this compilation album is tied together by the common departing point for each artist’s version: Brazilian jazz classic Corcovado as performed by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto
