Here's to a special one..
Ashtar Afterhours is Kenneth Graham - originally from Los Angeles, he has been a defining presence in electronic music ever since the 90s. Buying his first classic synthesizer, a Yamaha CS01, in 1984, he delved into music production at an early stage. Kenneth put out over 40 releases over the years- under his own name as well as stepping up under various aliases- Estelle Montenegro, KG Beat, Exit Strategy and many others. Kenneth also formed some super-groups together with friends, his Sun Children / Sunkiss project- together with David Alvarado- put out highly influential music on legendary Peacefrog Records.
Body Music was originally released on Plastic City in 2001 and it has been a Smallville favourite since a long time, so we are super happy to present this beauty as a repress, as always with a full cover artwork by Stefan Marx.
All tracks written & produced by Kenneth Graham, B3 w&p by Kenneth Graham & Gabriel Ortega

A 5-track EP released by L.A.-based producer Kenneth Graham on Ashtar Afterhours. He’s known for his collaboration with David Alvarado—who had earned a reputation in the UK and worldwide through labels like PEACEFROG—on the project Sun Children, as well as for his work with Sunkiss and Terry Francis.
