Amstra (Stefano Tidona) is 26 years old dj and producer from Italy. A music afficionado since an early age, the refinement comes from a sound both sophisticated, yet polished, but still raw. He draws his inspiration from ambient, symphathetic and friendly melodies which results in a sound that is sometimes utopian or melancholic. Next to obvious feeling-inducing chants, Amstra knits it together with brutal armour-penetrating techno. A concise and rhythmic raw percussion base underneath idyllic synth riffs and weeping and bleeding pad movement.
