Astralasia

Astralasia

Astralasia is a British electronic music group originally started in 1990 as an Ambient-Dub side-project to the psychedelic pop/rock group Magic Mushroom Band, with members taking part in both groups. Astralasia soon began to explore the dancefloor space as well, and while the Magic Mushroom Band has been dormant since 1995, Astralasia is still active. Astralasia play a mixture of ambient, dub, house and psychedelic trance.
