The New York duo ASTR has been causing a stir lately with their lush, retro style of dancey dreamwave music. Following the release of their Varsity EP, the two have been killing it on tour offering an honest, live-electronic performance as well as more traditional DJ sets. Just the other day, the two appeared on Diplo‘s Diplo and Friends radio show and laid down a killer set of originals and choice remixes and in case you missed it, we’ve got the first look back at their performance. The mix starts off with one of my favorite tracks of theirs, Blue Hawaii and then bounces between some serious 80’s style grooves and harder, more urban tracks. There are some great selections in here! I’ll have to catch them when they roll through for LA’s Red Bull 30 Days in LA  but in the meantime, here’s a mix to get you acquainted! Let’s show some love:
