Today, May 30th, 2025, ASTOR drops his latest single ‘Poison’, released under ASTOR Records. This New York City-based electronic producer has already racked up over 2.16 million streams across platforms, proving his knack for commanding dancefloors and playlists alike. His resume boasts opening gigs for titans like Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Sam Feldt, Loud Luxury, and Julian Jordan at venues such as NOTO in Philadelphia and The Summer Club in NYC. With nods from outlets like We Rave You and EDM Nomad, ASTOR’s trajectory has been steep since his 2024 tracks ‘Fly Alone’ and ‘Storm’, followed by his Revealed Radar debut ‘Holding Tight’ earlier this year. ‘Poison’ cements his rise as a force in the electronic scene.
‘Poison’ hits with a raw, gripping energy, weaving Progressive House’s emotive layers with the unrelenting drive of Big Room and Electro House. Expect towering synth lines, driving beats, and carefully crafted melodies that crash into massive drops—balanced by vocals that carry a restless, yearning edge. The track digs into the pull of obsession, painting a sonic picture of chasing something toxic yet irresistible, with moody breakdowns that shift the vibe into darker territory. ASTOR himself put it best: “‘Poison’ still delivers the energetic, hard-hitting drops that I love producing, but the heart of the track lives in its darker, more emotional core. The breakdowns and build-ups lean into a moodier, almost haunting vibe—driven by twisted arps, cinematic piano lines, and lyrics about obsession that really stuck with me. It’s about that feeling of knowing something isn’t good for you but being drawn to it anyway. I wanted the whole track to feel like a beautiful kind of chaos—seductive, intense, and hard to escape.”
By day, ASTOR crunches numbers as a finance pro and political analyst, but his nights are spent channeling influences like Martin Garrix, Alesso, Third Party, DubVision, Avicii, and Swedish House Mafia. His music journey kicked off during the pandemic, a shift from spreadsheets to soundwaves that’s paid off with a style that’s equal parts heartfelt and high-octane. Based in the pulse of New York City, he’s honed a sound that stands out in the crowded EDM landscape—‘Poison’ is proof he’s got the chops to keep climbing, blending emotional weight with beats that demand movement. This is no fleeting hype; it’s the sound of an artist finding his stride.
