Emerging New York City-based producer ASTOR has dropped his most powerful release to date with “Poison,” out now via ASTOR Records. Premiered exclusively on Magnetic Magazine, the single marks a bold new chapter for the rising electronic artist, known for fusing festival-sized energy with emotionally immersive soundscapes.
Following a string of 2024 and 2025 releases that include “Fly Alone,” “Storm,” and “Holding Tight”—his debut on Revealed Radar, the sub-label of Hardwell’s iconic Revealed Recordings—“Poison” delivers a darker, more introspective edge to ASTOR’s ever-evolving sound. The track solidifies his growing reputation, with over 2.16 million streams and support slots alongside major acts like Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Sam Feldt, Loud Luxury, and Julian Jordan at venues including NOTO Philadelphia and The Summer Club NYC.
While ASTOR’s path to electronic music began during the pandemic—transitioning from a career in finance and political analysis—his rapid ascent is anything but ordinary. Influenced by the likes of Martin Garrix, Alesso, DubVision, and Third Party, he crafts high-impact progressive and big room anthems that blend emotional depth with dancefloor power. His sound has drawn comparisons to Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, yet remains distinctly his own.
“Poison still delivers the energetic, hard-hitting drops that I love producing,” says ASTOR, “but the heart of the track lives in its darker, more emotional core. The breakdowns and build-ups lean into a moodier, almost haunting vibe—driven by twisted arps, cinematic piano lines, and lyrics about obsession. I wanted the whole track to feel like a beautiful kind of chaos—seductive, intense, and hard to escape.”
With thunderous drops, sweeping synths, and a haunting vocal line that underscores themes of desire and destructive obsession, “Poison” reveals a deeper layer of ASTOR’s artistry—one that moves beyond pure energy into evocative storytelling.
“Poison” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
