Astral Black started in 2013 as a London club night, but it has morphed into a whole lot more. Now based in Brooklyn and entering its second decade of operation as a label, it has focused on releasing a wide variety of forward-thinking British rap and club music. Their mix for Nina runs along similar guidelines, which is to say: eclectic within certain parameters. “It’s asking quite a lot of the audience to ride with us from a techy 130 Jossy Mitsu EP to a 12-track beat tape of Memphis rap and then a folk album about an imaginary ancient singing cult-leading wizard,” Astral Black founder John Phonics noted in our interview. But that’s why it’s such a great label—and a great mix.
