New York-based producer ASTOR continues his unstoppable rise in the electronic music scene with his latest single, “Stars”, released on September 5th, 2025 via ASTOR Records. The track made its debut on EDM Nomad, adding to a growing list of tastemaker support that’s quickly turning the artist into one of the most exciting new names in dance music.
Following his acclaimed single “Poison” — which premiered on Magnetic Magazine and earned praise from NOTION and YourEDM — ASTOR continues to impress. With over 3.2 million streams across platforms and performances at major venues like NOTO in Philadelphia and The Summer Club in New York City, he’s shared stages with industry heavyweights such as Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Sam Feldt, Loud Luxury, and Julian Jordan.
Blending festival-sized energy with emotionally-charged melodies, ASTOR has earned accolades from the likes of We Rave You — and it’s easy to hear why.
“Stars” – Emotion Meets Energy
ASTOR’s new single “Stars” builds on the success of 2024’s “Fly Alone” and “Storm”, as well as this year’s “Holding Tight”, his debut signing with Revealed Radar, a sub-label of Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings. The track balances ASTOR’s signature mainstage-ready production with heartfelt emotion, appealing to fans of Martin Garrix, Lost Frequencies, and Avicii.
Described as a “masterclass in emotionally resonant EDM,” “Stars” captivates listeners from the very first note. Sweeping synths, intricate layering, and a soaring topline come together to create a soundscape that’s both euphoric and vulnerable. The lyrics tell a story of taking a leap of faith in love, wrapped in shimmering production and driving rhythms.
“Stars brought me back to the sound that first made me fall in love with dance music — soaring, euphoric builds balanced with raw, emotional breaks that let the crowd lose themselves in the moment,” ASTOR shares. “That kind of roller coaster ride is something I love to create in not only my individual tracks but also my sets.”
From Finance to Festivals
Unlike many in the EDM world, ASTOR’s path to the decks was far from conventional. A finance professional and political analyst by day, he began producing during the pandemic — channeling his structured mindset into creative expression. Drawing inspiration from legends like Martin Garrix, Alesso, and Third Party, ASTOR’s sound has evolved into a blend of melodic intricacy and explosive energy, reminiscent of icons like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia.
With “Stars”, ASTOR proves he’s not just another DJ — he’s a storyteller in sound, capturing emotion through melody and rhythm. As his fanbase continues to grow, it’s clear this rising artist is just getting started.
Listen to “Stars” on all major streaming platforms now, and keep an eye on ASTOR’s Instagram and Spotify for upcoming shows and releases.
