New Music: "Time Dealers (Rewind)" & "Suave" Out Now!
About a new perspective on "Mid 20s" (2024) and a first new project for 2025.

Hey everyone,
The new year starts off with different perspectives and a couple of new projects that I can’t wait to share. Before concluding the long process of creating and releasing last year’s album Mid 20s, singer Lia J and I will be releasing two reprise EPs.
Mid 20s: Reframed will be released at the end of February and, with guest contributions from Awon, Georgia Lock and Díbora Matos among others, reflects thematically on the issues we deal with in our twenties: supposed places of longing, self-care, getting older...
Mid 20s: Lofi Sessions together with Mr. Mahous is an instrumental lofi interpretation of 6 of the 12 songs on the album and will be released a month later.
Plus, I'm excited to introduce you to a handful of new projects soon, starting with Suave from a new instrumental project.
New Release: "Time Dealers (Rewind)" (out now!)
Released on February 6th as a part of the upcoming EP Mid 20s: Reframed, the song Time Dealers (Rewind) is a collaboration with singer Lia J and UK rapper ZZ The Pharao. The track explores the concept of time as a tradeable resource. What if time could be bought and sold? Between alternative hip-hop and alt-pop, Time Dealers (Rewind) draws parallels between our current lifestyle and the analog era before the internet, tying in with the core idea of the album that captures the duality of a generation that grew up between the analogue world before digitalization and the digital age.
Also Out: "Suave" (Jan 31st)
Suave is the first single from my upcoming instrumental Lofi EP Teide, releasing April 25th. Teaming up with long-time collaborator Mr.Mahous, the song invites to unwind and visualize yourself in the versatile, laid-back nature of the Canary Islands, where the clocks literally run differently.
Next week Friday, the second single, Calle Santa Barbara, will be released. You can already pre-save the song on your favorite streaming service, which is a cool way to push the song algorithmically in advance: https://bastido.lnk.to/CalleSantaBarbara

More music and a couple of new projects are on the way and I’m looking forward to finally sharing it with you. Thanks for listening and for being part of this journey.
Best,
Bastido
