We are supporting the music of the Fognini Brothers ever since they put themselves on the map of the international electronic music scene.

Similar as it is the case with us, Mind Against also select their output very carefully and this also reflects in their DJ sets that can be long and challenging at times. Like their sets also their discography speaks for itself; with a variety of originals, remixes and collaborations, that are not bound to one genre, Alex and Freddie already left a mark in the more melodic realm of techno and house and are continuing to do so in full force.

We are happy to have them on board and it is great to see that their interpretation of our ‘Home‘ is so well received.

Enjoy.

For over a decade, Protoje has become a frontrunner in modern reggae and is now set to headline City Splash this year. With his expansive catalogue of music that spans across 6 studio albums, Protoje has consistently taken inspiration from roots, making him one of the most authentic artists on the scene as he fuses the genre with his fresh reggae stylings that incorporate rap and hip-hop. With over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and having worked with a series of A-list names including Tory Lanez, Ty Dolla $ign, and Wiz Kid, Kranium is a much-welcomed headliner of this year’s line-up and will be taking the festival to another level when he takes to the stage. Also headlining City Splash in Brockwell Park this summer is the Grammy-nominated afropop, dancehall, and reggae virtuoso Stonebwoy, who has become a leading name in the genre through his ability to traverse across multiple sub-genres to create a sound that is both invigorating and addictive.

Joining her is the spectacular roots-reggae singer Luciano, who will be bringing his silky smooth beats and supple vocals to the festival stage. Also added to the bill is the genre-fusing sensation AMARIA BB, who despite releasing just a handful of singles and EPs has already become one of the most exciting artists to have emerged in recent years. Her blend of pop, afropop, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and more will be one of the highlights of the festival in 2022.

City Splash 2022 is set to be one of the parties of the summer as the line-up continues to overflow with stellar names, including the Tottenham-born proto-jungle tastemaker Congo Natty, whose exhilarating beats will be taking the festival to new heights in May.

Joining them are the historic Channel One Sound System, who have been ingrained into roots and reggae culture for over 40 years and are integral to the scene. Also being announced as stage partners are the London-based music and broadcasting legends Rampage Sound, who are famous for their presence at Nottinghill Carnival in which they present their phenomenal static sound system, the largest of its kind in Europe. Their impressive resume dates back 20 years and counting, and they have worked alongside the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, NAS, Usher, Wyclef, and more. The final stage partner to be announced are the viral internet-radio sensations and live event creators Recess, who have undergone an almost overnight success having first emerged just a few years ago and have since gone on to become a leading voice within the UKs Black community.

Joseph Capriati presents Metamorfosi at Amnesia Ibiza

by

Sign up now for tickets at https://www.amnesia.es/

Globally renowned DJ and producer Joseph Capriati is to play three exclusive parties at Amnesia this summer. Each one comes under his Metamorfosi banner on Fridays July 22nd, August 5th and August 19th and they promise to be an immersive dive into the Italian tastemaker’s unique musical world alongside a carefully curated mix of special guests.

Metamorfosi is the artistic evolution of the Neapolitan giant and showed real personal and musical development. Since then he has constantly tweaked his sound, exploring fresh new ground and always building on the past to take his sound, his sets and his fans into the unknown.

Joseph has always been on a mission to constantly push forward as an artist as does his commitment to making a lasting mark on the global dance music underground through his music. As such, when he arrives at Amnesia he is sure to step up his game and take the vast crowds to the next dimension.

Says Joseph, “It’s a dream come true to have these dates at Amnesia. I have been dreaming about this since the first time I went to the club. Every party will be packed with passion from me and my whole team. Everyone will feel that when they step into the club. We decided to do just three nights so that we can really put everything into each one. I can’t wait to see you there and make sure these events are truly special and unique experiences.”

These are set to be three unmissable events for techno lovers. Sign up now for tickets at https://www.amnesia.es/.

Amnesia Presents: Gorgon City & Sonny Fodera The Club Hosted By Danny Howard

by

Terrace guests include: Dom Dolla, Nora En Pure, John Summit, DJ EZ, Paul Woolford, Lee Foss, LP Giobbi

The Club guests include: Logic1000, Ewan Mcvicar, Cinthie, Special Request, Franky Wah, Ben Hemsley

Mondays from June 20th til October 3rd at Amnesia are set to be the talk of the season as Sonny Fodera & Gorgon City will be joined by Danny Howard in The Club each week while international guests like Paul Woolford, Nora En Pure, Dom Dolla, John Summit, Logic1000, Ewan Mcvicar, Lee Foss, DJ EZ, plus many more will all play throughout the summer. Those who buy the Night Tales Roof Garden – Balcony Ticket will get access to the exclusive open air Night Tales roof garden and their signature cocktail menu for a high class night with a difference. Head to amnesia.es now for tickets.

Now that the International Music Summit and the unforgettable opening party has kicked off the season and the party vibes are already in full flow, Amnesia is ready to take up its place at the top of the tree as the most authentic and essential club experience anywhere on the White Isle. Kicking off each week in style, Sonny Fodera and acclaimed duo Gorgon City will host their all encompassing events with a carefully curated selection of exciting guests from across the house spectrum.

This comes after both titanic house acts hosted their sold out London festival together in August last year and spent the last decade defining the house underground with plenty of chart topping hits, world tours, high profile radio support and picking hundreds of millions of streams across YouTube and Spotify. They have a truly global fan base that is all set to descend on Amnesia this summer to hear them play alongside a forward thinking mix of guests including Hot Creations man Lee Foss, melodic selector Nora En Pure, Defected’s latest hero John Summit, garage legend DJ EZ, Moon Harbour’s Miane, plus Biscits, Dom Dolla, Saffron Stone, Space Motion and others.

Meanwhile, every week in the Main Room – which for this year is known as The Club – will be Radio 1 tastemaker and underground influencer Danny Howard. An authority on the culture, the sound and the scene, a decade-long tenure at BBC Radio 1 has positioned him as the tastemaker of a generation. He continues to build on his unique legacy as a musical all-rounder by creating and hosting Vodcast series Planet B, with mentionable guests such as Jax Jones, Heidi, TSHA, Franky Wah, Sub Focus and more.

Danny’s transition from underground champion to fully-fledged star of BBC Radio 1 is credit to his unwavering commitment to musical discovery and a pair of the sharpest A&R ears in the business.

He will be joined in The Club by a broad spectrum of talents such as the new school star Bklava, Berlin house queen Cinthie, jacking house star Heidi, the always thrilling Special Request vs Paul Woolford, breakout tunesmith Salute, Polish pair Catz ‘N Dogz, Watergate’s Kristin Velvet, Toolroom boss Mark Knight, garage spinner DJ EZ, plus plenty more inlying Hannah Wants, LP Giobbi, Mele, Jamie Roy, Ewan McVicar, Ben Hemsley, Prospa, Shermanology and others.

Says Danny Howard of the season, “It’s hard to put into words exactly how excited and proud I am to be part of a brand-new era for Mondays at Amnesia, Ibiza’s original super club!
Like all of us, I’ve sorely missed the summer trips to the White Isle, so to return after so long with a huge residency feels like the perfect way to unleash all of the built up energy and create a party worthy of fulfilling three years worth of raving.

“I’ve been DJing in Ibiza for over a decade now and have been fortunate enough to play at most of the major clubs, but Amnesia is the island’s most authentic venue in terms of what Ibiza represents, and I can’t wait to capture the essence of the true Balearic vibe every single week. Musically (with house music at its core), I’ve had the privilege of inviting some legends of the scene, special guests and the hottest new names in dance to join me every week making up a diverse and exciting line-up that will create something truly special.

“I hold the Main Room (now named The Club) in Amnesia very close to my heart, having spent most of my first ever visit to Ibiza in there, so to be now hosting it blows my mind! Together with Gorgon City and Sonny Fodera hosting the Terrace, we’re ready to bring 16 weeks of pure love and energy under one roof and pay homage to Ibiza’s roots and heritage… See you on the dancefloor!”

For house lovers, Mondays at Amnesia will be pure heaven. For full listings and to get your tickets now, visit: amnesia.es

MEUTE release latest single ‘PLACES’, taken from forthcoming TAUMEL album

by

Stream now: https://spoti.fi/3kH78kJ

FTechno marching band MEUTE delivers the next brand-new single on in-house label TUMULT. Out now, ‘PLACES’ is a MEUTE rework of the same name by French duo ‘The Blaze’.

Compared to previous MEUTE singles, ‘PLACES’ has a slightly softer touch and more of a tropical vibe. Exceptional for the band are vocals by MEUTE’s bass saxophone player Philip Morton Andernach. In this setting, MEUTE again finds new ways between the characteristic live techno sound and a more receivable house vibe, ready for the next summer rave.

This unique band has been making worldwide waves since 2016. The 11 musicians from Hamburg wear their iconic red jackets and love to break the rules and defy boundaries. What started as a small experiment on the streets of St. Pauli quickly became a globally acclaimed phenomenon. The band revolutionises techno and redefines the concept of a brass band using only acoustic instruments. They have crafted viral hits, sold-out clubs, had props from Dixon, Laurent Garnier and BBC Radio 1 amongst many more, and generate real excitement every time they play.

The new single shows the versatility of the upcoming album TAUMEL, out on November 18th. After finishing their second North America tour at the legendary Coachella Festival, MEUTE is embraced to unveil a world of electronic indulgence on Europe’s Festival stages.

“The release features remixes from the likes of Carl Cox, ANNA, Masters At Work, Dave Clarke, Mathew Jonson, DJ STINGRAY and more…”

Order & Snippets

Joseph Capriati is to release a selection of remixes of his epic 2020 album Metamorfosi. They arrive on limited edition triple vinyl on April 29th on his Redimension Music label, and feature the likes of DJ Stingray, Frank Wiedemann & Toto Chiavetta, Steve Rachmad, Dave Clarke, Carl Cox, Francois K, Masters at Work and more.

Released throughout 2021, this project has brought some of the world’s best producers together. It sees them all add their own unique spin to the superb source material by Italian Capriati, who is one of the foremost techno artists on the planet. Each of the artists Joseph called upon for the remixes has shaped his sound in some way. Their influence has loomed large over his career, which on this album found him broadening his palette to take in a wider array of sounds across both the house and techno spectrum.

The triple vinyl pack is an essential addition to the racks of any underground music lover that is packed with highlights. It kicks off with UK techno titan Dave Clarke tackling Joseph Capriati & Eric Kupper ft. Byron Stingily’s ‘Love Changed Me’. Steve Rachmad turns in a version of ‘Psychic Journey’ that is a hypnotic and engaging trip andFrancois K brings his masterful electronic dub sound to ‘New Horizons.’

Elsewhere Sterac Electronics offer a brilliantly melodic Italo remix of the same tune, Carl Cox goes big with his game on ‘Goa‘ and the likes of Oxia, ANNA, Steve Rachmad, the legendary Master At Work and Mathew Jonson all offer their own original takes. DJ Stingray brings Detroit flavours to his version of ‘Physic Journey,’ and there is still time for more from from Innervisions staples Frank Wiedemann & Toto Chiavetta and Neapolitan legend Gaetano Parisio.

This is a vital collection of club ready tracks that offer something for all dance floors at many different moments in any night.

As a much anticipated 10th anniversary edition fast approaches, Dimensions Festival unveils the stage breakdowns for its return to The Garden Resort of Tisno. It runs from 1-5 September 2022 with full information and tickets at https://www.dimensionsfestival.com.

One of the stars of the festival is of course the location, a beautiful natural bay on the Dalmatian coastline. The glistening seas, sweeping beach and pine forests make for a gorgeous background to the music which comes via an array of boat parties, baking sunshine and beachside sessions by day and star-lit skies for open air dancing at the cult Barbarella’s Discotheque by night. All of this happens with Dimensions‘ famous attention to detail in terms of light, sound and production.

On Thursday things kick off on The Beach hosted by cult underground house crew Butter Side Up and key associates including Francesco Del Garda, Laurine & Cecilio, Truly Madly and founder Hamish next to fellow deep digger Toby, while the Olive Grove welcomes Leeds bar Outlaws Yacht Club which is famous for hosting eclectic DJs who play all manner of weird and wonderful records.
