The Ancient Astronauts played a bunch of their bootlegs at the Lollapalooza 2010. One of them is called “Blitzkrieg Dub” and features the legendary punk rockers “The Ramones” and their classic “Blitzkrieg Bob”. Have fun!

Enjoy your space & time!

Our Ancient Astronauts are back from their latest USA tour which included heavy gigs at the Mustock Festival, the legandary Lollapalooza (video in the post below) and more. They’ve made a stop at the well-known Ableton (and of course more) specified trainee center DUBSPOT in New York. If you’re an Ableton producer, please visit their homepage for great tutorials: https://www.dubspot.com/

If you’re interested in the roots of the Astros production techniques, the new album and their love for music, watch this video interview!

They’ve took their time to present the Dubspot team a great DJ mix, full with new stuff by the Ancient Astronauts and their bootleg project The Beatstalkers! Aight, oh, lets go! (Minute 13:00 in the DJ mix, you’ll know what I mean)

Enjoy your time!
