Guy J announces South America tour From sold out Amsterdam Dance Event parties to launching a new record label, 2017 was non-stop for Guy J. Now the soft-spoken Israeli star is heading to South America for eight shows to ring in the new year. "South America is very special place for me," Guy says. His tour begins 27 December in Argentina, where he touches down at Kimika, BPM Club and The Bow. New Year's Eve will see Guy spin out the year in style at Universo Parallelo Festival in Brazil.

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
