A few months ago when I published The Triforce mix, Joe Bastardo (aka Bastian Void) reached out to see if I’d be interested in another mix of video game music sometime down the road. When he told me about some of the more obscure and out-there stuff he was thinking about, I couldn’t say yes quick enough.
Not to repeat myself, but Joe and I go pretty far back, too. Bastian Void’s debut cassette was on Digitalis and I’ll happily admit to being a cheerleader for his work ever since. With Bastian Void he creates these interesting, vivid worlds that are sonically interesting, of course, but also suggest any number of narratives that could exist within their neon corridors.
He’s come a long way since that first tape as evidenced by the sheer brilliance of his new album, out tomorrow on Oxtail Recordings, Topia. To celebrate the new record, join the record release livestream celebration tomorrow at 8 PM EDT at topia.zone. Meanwhile, get blitzed with this incredible mix.
