Astral Mixtape is one of the most exciting new music ensembles with "out-of-this-world sounds" presenting a "one-of-kind event" to quote their most recent host, Meadowlark Music Festival Lincoln, Nebraska. Astral Mixtape is a multifaceted band based in Los Angeles, Astral Mixtape blends classical instrumental virtuosity with the sounds of their generation. They collaboratively create and perform original compositions and arrangements using a unique line-up of two violins, a cello, a piano, a synthesizer, and electronics. Their music combines the spectacle of pop, the spontaneity of jazz, and the experimentation of contemporary music. 

Beyond their cutting-edge performances in clubs and concert halls, the quartet has contributed to the soundtracks of numerous short films. Many of these films – such as Leaving the Factory, Broken Layers, and Ink – have won prizes at Cannes and BAFTA film festivals. Most recently, the quartet was named a winner of the prestigious Astral Artists National Competition.
