Hello everyone, it’s your host Oliver from DULAXI, and today I’m delighted to be joined by Super Gasey, an independent artist and label owner from Indianapolis, United States, whose music brings together melodic trap, emotional storytelling, and futuristic hip-hop. We are here to discuss his latest single, “Rari On Mars,” released on September 23, 2026, and the wider creative universe he continues to develop through his Astronaut on Earth concept.
Before we begin our conversation with Super Gasey, here is what you need to know about today’s featured project.
About Super Gasey
Super Gasey’s approach to music begins with the contrast between the world he inhabits and the possibilities he imagines for himself. Based in Indianapolis, he draws from his surroundings and personal experiences while creating music that reaches towards something more expansive. His identity as an independent artist and label owner gives this vision another dimension, allowing him to think about creative expression alongside ownership, decision-making, and the future he wants to build.
His influences include Future and Playboi Carti, two artists associated with distinctive approaches to contemporary rap. However, Super Gasey’s own direction centres on turning inspiration into a personal artistic universe. Melodic trap provides a foundation for his music, while science-fiction imagery gives him a way to explore ambition, emotional struggles, and the desire to rise beyond familiar limitations. The astronaut becomes a symbol of this contrast: someone navigating everyday life on Earth while mentally reaching towards another galaxy.
Within that concept, “Rari On Mars” serves as another expression of his developing identity. Its title places a symbol associated with earthly success in an unexpected, extraterrestrial setting, reflecting an outlook that refuses to confine ambition to conventional expectations. The track combines confidence with emotional depth, allowing Super Gasey to explore the relationship between what a person experiences and what they hope to achieve.
The production by Darkkustupid plays an important role in establishing this direction. Their creative connection, which developed through mutual links with artists such as Twenty Da Gasman and Tony Cleveland, helped bring the song into focus. Recorded in Indianapolis with Johnny Kaz, the single also demonstrates Super Gasey’s willingness to step outside his regular working routine in pursuit of a different creative atmosphere.
As an independent artist, Super Gasey is building towards a future in which his music and the world surrounding it can continue to grow together. His vision brings personal experience, imagination, and artistic ownership into the same space, with “Rari On Mars” offering another glimpse of what that combination can become.
Having this introduction to today’s featured project, it is time to hear directly from Super Gasey about the experiences, creative decisions, and ambitions behind his music. So, without further ado, let’s begin today’s interview.
INTERVIEW SESSION
Oliver:
Growing up in Indianapolis and building your career as both an artist and an independent label owner, what experiences from your life and environment have shaped the way you see yourself, your ambitions, and the world you are creating through Super Gasey?
Super Gasey:
Indianapolis is part of my foundation. It taught me to stay grounded, work with what I have, and make a way even when the path isn’t already laid out. Life has brought real pain and loss, but it’s also given me my family and reasons to keep pushing. Super Gasey is where all of that comes together: the person I am, the places I’ve been, and the bigger world I’m determined to build.
Oliver:
You describe yourself as an astronaut on Earth, surrounded by the trenches while mentally existing in another galaxy. When did that way of seeing yourself and your surroundings begin to take shape, and what does that idea allow you to express about your real-life experiences that you might not be able to communicate as directly otherwise?
Super Gasey:
I’ve always felt like my mind could take me somewhere beyond whatever was happening around me. The astronaut idea gave me a way to turn that feeling into a whole creative world. I can talk about real struggle, ambition, love, and pain, but frame it through space and imagination. It lets me be honest while still giving people somewhere to escape with me.
Oliver:
Independence and ownership seem to be important parts of your identity, particularly in the way you have built your own artistic universe rather than allowing your environment to define the limits of your vision. What has taking control of your own direction taught you about yourself as an artist and as a person?
Super Gasey:
It’s taught me that I have to believe in the vision before anybody else can see it. Owning my direction means I’m responsible for the music, the decisions, and the work behind the scenes. That pressure has made me more disciplined and more confident. I’m learning to build something with longevity, not just chase a moment.
Oliver:
Your music draws from artists such as Future and Playboi Carti, but you have taken those influences into a much more futuristic and personal sci-fi hip-hop world. What specifically attracts you to their fearless approach to sound, and how have you transformed those influences into something that feels distinctly like Super Gasey?
Super Gasey:
I’m drawn to artists who aren’t afraid to take risks with their sound and their identity. Future and Carti both make music that feels like its own world. I take inspiration from that fearlessness, but I bring my own experiences, my Indianapolis perspective, and the Astronaut on Earth concept into it. The goal is for people to hear the record and know it’s Super Gasey.
Oliver:
The Astronaut on Earth concept has grown beyond a single song into a wider creative identity supported by visuals, storytelling, and a long-term rollout. What was the original idea that sparked this universe, and how has your understanding of that world changed as you have continued building it?
Super Gasey:
The idea started with a feeling: being here on Earth, dealing with real life, while my mind was reaching for something bigger. The astronaut became a symbol for that. As I kept building, I realized it could hold more than songs. It could have its own visuals, story, merch, and experiences for the fans. Now it feels like a universe I can keep expanding.
Oliver:
“Rari On Mars” takes that universe further by combining melodic trap, pain, ambition, and science-fiction imagery. What personal experiences or emotions were you carrying when you began creating this particular record, and what made this song the right vehicle for expressing them?
Super Gasey:
I wanted the song to feel like ambition carrying you away from whatever’s weighing you down. There’s confidence in it, but there’s also emotion underneath. The melodic trap sound gave me room to bring both sides out, and the space imagery fit naturally with the Astronaut on Earth world. It felt like the right record to show that you can be chasing something bigger while still carrying what you’ve been through.
Oliver:
The title “Rari On Mars” immediately places something associated with earthly ambition inside an entirely different world. What does that contrast mean to you, and how does the title connect with the way you approach ambition, success, and escaping the limitations around you?
Super Gasey:
“Rari On Mars” is about taking a symbol of success and putting it somewhere people don’t expect. To me, it means thinking beyond the limits around you and imagining your success on your own terms. I’m still grounded in where I come from, but I don’t want my surroundings to decide how far I can go.
Oliver:
There is a strong sense of movement between real-life struggle and the imagined world of Mars throughout the concept surrounding this release. When you are writing, how do you decide which parts of your actual experiences should remain grounded in reality and which parts should be transformed through your sci-fi imagery?
Super Gasey:
I usually start with the real feeling. If something hurt, inspired me, or made me hungry for more, that emotion stays honest. Then I use the sci-fi imagery to give it a larger frame. The details can become cosmic, but the feeling underneath has to be something I’ve lived or can truly connect with.
Oliver:
Your music often brings emotional experiences into a world that can sound larger than life. When you are dealing with themes such as pain, ambition, and struggle, what do you want listeners to understand about the person behind the larger-than-life Super Gasey identity?
Super Gasey:
I want people to know there’s a real person behind the name and the visuals. I’m a father, a family man, and somebody who has had to keep going through hard times. The bigger-than-life energy is part of the show, but the emotions are real. I hope people hear that they can be ambitious and still be human.
Oliver:
“Rari On Mars” came together with Darkkustupid, whose production helped create the hypnotic, outer-space direction of the record. How did the connection between your artistic vision and Darkkustupid’s production develop, and what did you hear in the production that immediately made you feel it belonged inside the Astronaut on Earth universe?
Super Gasey:
Darkkustupid understands the kind of atmosphere I want to create. When I heard the production, it had that hypnotic, spacey feeling that could take the listener somewhere else, but it still had the energy I wanted for a rap record. We’ve built a strong creative connection over time, and the beat felt like it belonged in the Astronaut on Earth universe right away.
Oliver:
You also made a deliberate change in your recording routine by working with Johnny Kaz in Indianapolis instead of your regular engineer. How did stepping into that different creative environment affect the way you performed, approached the song, or experimented with ideas during the recording process?
Super Gasey:
Recording with Johnny Kaz gave me a chance to hear the song in a different setting and approach it with fresh ears. Sometimes changing the room and the people around you helps you get out of your usual routine. It made me more open to trying ideas and focusing on what the record needed in that moment.
Oliver:
Recording in your hometown of Indianapolis added another personal dimension to the process, especially given how strongly your music speaks about navigating the environment around you while imagining somewhere beyond it. How does being in Indianapolis influence the way you create, and what parts of the city or your experiences there find their way into your music?
Super Gasey:
Indianapolis keeps me connected to my roots. The city gives me a real perspective and a sound that comes from my own life, not something I’m pretending to be. I carry the people, the pressure, the ambition, and the resilience of home with me. Even when the music takes off into space, that foundation is still there.
Oliver:
Your approach seems to involve building a complete world around the music rather than treating a song as an isolated release. When you are creating something like “Rari On Mars,” how do you think about the relationship between the music, visuals, storytelling, and the experience you ultimately want your supporters to have?
Super Gasey:
I want the song to be the entry point. The music gives you the emotion, the visuals help you see the world, and the story gives fans another reason to connect. With “Rari On Mars,” I want people to feel like they’re stepping into the Astronaut on Earth universe, not just hearing one song and moving on.
Oliver:
As an independent label owner, you are not only responsible for your own creative work but also for understanding the business and ownership side of building an artist-led project. How has taking on both roles changed the way you think about your career, your decisions, and the kind of future you want to create?
Super Gasey:
It’s made me look at every creative decision with a bigger picture in mind. As an artist, I’m focused on making music that connects. As a label owner, I’m thinking about ownership, planning, and how to build a foundation that can last. I want to create more control and opportunity for myself and the people who build with me.
Oliver:
You have described your environment as something that does not have to limit your vision. Looking back at the obstacles or difficult experiences that have shaped your journey so far, what have those moments taught you about persistence, creativity, and continuing to believe in a vision before other people can see it?
Super Gasey:
Difficult experiences have taught me that I can’t wait for everything to be perfect before I move. Sometimes you have to create the opportunity while you’re still figuring things out. I’ve learned to stay persistent, keep improving, and trust what I see in my mind. Belief doesn’t mean the road is easy. It means you keep working when the results haven’t caught up to the vision yet.
Oliver:
With your September 30 performance and plans for an official Astronaut on Earth album-release party, you are beginning to move the concept from recorded music into a live experience. What do you want people to feel or understand when they step into that world with you in person for the first time?
Super Gasey:
I want people to feel like they’ve entered a different world, but one that still connects to real life. The music, visuals, and energy should make them feel part of the mission. I want them leaving with the feeling that they can dream bigger about their own lives, too.
Oliver:
As people respond to “Rari On Mars” and the wider Astronaut on Earth world, what kind of connection are you hoping to build with listeners who may recognize their own struggles, ambitions, or desire to escape through the universe you have created?
Super Gasey:
I want listeners to feel understood and inspired. Maybe they’re dealing with pressure, chasing a dream, or just looking for a break from what’s around them. If the music helps them feel less alone and gives them room to imagine something bigger, then it’s doing what I hoped it would do. I want them to feel like they’re part of the mission.
Oliver:
Looking beyond “Rari On Mars,” where do you see the Astronaut on Earth universe going next, both musically and creatively, and what are you most interested in exploring as you continue expanding Super Gasey’s sound and identity?
Super Gasey:
I see the universe continuing to grow through new music, visuals, live shows, and ways for the fans to be part of it. Musically, I want to keep experimenting while making sure the emotion and the identity stay clear. I’m interested in showing more sides of Super Gasey and taking the story to places people haven’t seen from me yet.
Oliver:
When you look at everything you are building as an artist, label owner, and creator of this larger world, what do you ultimately want Super Gasey and Astronaut on Earth to represent to someone discovering your work years from now?
Super Gasey:
I want it to represent independence, imagination, and the strength to keep going. I want somebody to look back and see that I built a world from my own experiences and believed in it enough to bring other people into it. If Super Gasey reminds them they can create their own path and dream beyond their circumstances, then I’ve left something meaningful behind.
“Super Gasey’s vision reaches beyond the music itself, turning the realities of everyday life into a world where imagination has no fixed boundaries. What stands out is the purpose behind that ambition: a determination to build independently, remain connected to his roots, and invite listeners to believe that their circumstances do not have to define their future.”

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE
What makes “Rari On Mars” particularly interesting within Super Gasey’s developing catalogue is the connection between his personal identity and the fictional world he is creating. The space-themed concept gives him room to explore familiar human experiences without presenting them in an ordinary setting. His collaboration with Darkkustupid and the decision to record with Johnny Kaz also demonstrate a willingness to explore different creative approaches. Beyond the single, Super Gasey’s emphasis on ownership, visual storytelling, and audience participation points towards an artist interested in building a lasting identity rather than relying on individual releases alone.
