Boldly detuned and expertly defined, The Last Dance showcases trademark E&B arpeggio sequences, backed with tumbling, vintage drum machines and percussion. The flip sees two reinterpretations of the title track, where nineties broken-beat is accompanied by a beatless, sunrise edit. Los Angeles based artist continues to make confident paces forward.

Dixon on balancing health, family and the demands of touring Originaly featured on innervision facebook fangroup for melodic diggers: Facebook and MelodicDiggers Do you ever look in Innervisions fangroup when you’re bored? Yeah, I do. But I am not sure if this is not like raiding a fridge at 4am and then regretting it. How many shirts do you have? Between 50 and 70, but that’s just numbers. Shirts are seasonal objects. So they come and go. I only keep what I consider the most iconic pieces. What is your vision of the techno music scene in 10 years? Honestly, I refuse to think about the future. That would be nostalgia in reverse, taking me away from the shifts happening not yearly, not daily, but hourly nowadays. I try and enjoy what is around me, graspable, as long as it's there. Culture disappeared forever through uniformity and whitewashing. We should definitely not crave for knowing the future or its protagonists, but push for our shifts today. What makes you special, or at least, different than the other top DJ Read More

Mind Against returns to Afterlife with Days Gone EP ‘Days Gone’ is the highly-anticipated return of core Afterlife act and fans favourite, Mind Against. A year after their ‘Solaris’ EP (AL002), the duo of Alex and Federico Fognini show once again why their moving, supremely-produced tracks are held in such esteem. The title track takes you to another dimension, with a synth line spiralling into cosmic space and drums beating into oblivion. ‘Cloud Nine’, a classy, comparatively-understated cut for the early hours brings the energy back down. Stepping up to remix ‘Cloud Nine’ is Dystopian talent Alex.Do, who strips the sound back and distills the original’s graceful flourishes, completing a high-quality chapter in the Afterlife story. https://soundcloud.com/afterlifeofc/al010-mind-against-days-gone Tracklist: 01. Mind Against - Days Gone 02. Mind Against - Cloud Nine 03. Mind Against - Cloud Nine (Alex.Do Remix) Afterlife will release Days Gone on January 19, 2018. Read More

Edu Imbernon Remixes The XX on Young Turks // Out in December New official remix of Edu Imbernon for the band The xx. The new re-work is for the song “Lips” included in the last album of the British band entitled “I See You” (Young Turks, 2017). It is nothing more and nothing less than the third time he does it! He already remixed “Crystalised” in 2010 and “Reunion” in 2013. It is an honor that the group led by Jamie Smith aka Jamie xx continues to trust Edu Imbernon even if the years go by. In Edu’s own words: “This is now my third remix of maybe my favourite band of the current times, the xx. Back in 2010 I was honoured to remix “Crystalised” from their first album, and working on that changed my perspective on making music. I’m super happy to reimagine their music once again, with a different take on their song “Lips” https://soundcloud.com/imbernonmusic/the-xx-lips-edu-imbernon-remix Read More
“El Jefe” is the debut collaboration between Sasha & Alan Fitzpatrick Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave celebrated its 10th release in November and to close out a truly outstanding year, they continue to set the standards higher than ever, welcoming Sasha to the WATB family this December. ‘Sasha and I got to hang out a little through 2016 at various gigs we played together and the idea for the collaboration was born’ Alan says. ‘I have been a Sasha fan for some time, so for this collab to now be actually happening and for it to have come together pretty quickly, given our crazy our touring schedules, just goes to show that dreams can come true if you want them bad enough.’ The release features one original track, with two outstanding versions, and is a true example of the work, exploration and compromise that goes into musical collaboration. ‘It was great to collaborate with Alan’ Sasha says. ‘We kept going back and forth, sharing ideas, trying different melodies, synths and beats.
