about

There is a belief that our ancestors speak to us and guide us through our consciousness. This belief that they live within us and live through us, to emcee Pastense is self evident. They are the light behind closed eyes. Pastense (Boston) and John Sarastro (Switzerland) team up to bring you music with this in mind. We asked various artists how their ancestors impact the art they make today , these responses are scattered throughout the ep. The sound itself is a throwback to our hip-hop ancestors, admittedly dated on purpose. Pastense and John Sarastro first worked together on a song with uncommon nasa on John’s “Sarastro” album and decided to script “the light behind closed eyes”. Written and performed by Pastense and produced entirely by John Sarastro.
