DJ Astrality recently shared a remix of Tommy Down’s soul track ‘Mrs Blue’ via Declo Grey on Magnetic Magazine. His personal blend of techno, house, and pop has apparently been praised by artists like Benny Benassi (with whom he collaborated on the tracks ‘Fade To Black’ and ‘Golden Knights’), Disclosure, Friendly Fire, and Diplo, to name a few.
With over 200 million streams, a Gold Record, releases on labels such as Tomorrowland Music, Armada, Universal Music, and Selected, and a following of more than 30,000 fans across platforms, his music aims to resonate. He has brought his sound to stages including Tomorrowland Belgium 2024 and Nameless Festival.
London multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Tommy Down’s single ‘Mrs Blue’, off his 2024 album ‘21st Century Living’, has garnered over 7.6 million Spotify streams alone, earning him support from publications such as NOTION Magazine, CLASH Magazine, METAL Magazine, and Earmilk, as well as radio stations Radio X, RTÉ 2XM and NPR Music.
He has worked with producers such as Jeffrey Silverman and Grammy-nominated artists Jon Shave and Jason Pebworth of Invisible Men. He has played events like Camden Rocks Festival, headlined by Frank Turner. Notably, he has had six of his songs featured in just as many episodes across all three seasons of HBO’s hit series Industry.
Anchored by a stripped-back, Al Green-inspired rhythm section and an atmospheric organ subtly woven with airy backing vocals, ‘Mrs Blue’ captures the tender ache of longing with a blend of adoration and deep melancholy.
Astrality alchemises the track’s soul essence into something that could work on the dancefloors of Tomorrowland and Ibiza with fans of Solomun, CamelPhat, and ARTBAT. Tommy’s vocals are retained as melodies and house rhythms allow the emotional impact of the song to hit new heights.
Astrality: “As soon as I heard the record I was very interested in giving it my own spin. The challenge was preserving and even accentuating the intense emotional delivery of Tommy’s vocals."
