Mind Against – Dreamcast [Afterlife]
Mind Against further their fruitful relationship with Afterlife as their cinematic, compulsively danceable single ‘Dreamcast’ drops on Friday 16th December, following their 2021 ‘Changes’ EP on the imprint.
Already very much on the music map, the Italian-born, Berlin-based duo released their eagerly awaited ‘fabric presents…’ compilation in September to critical acclaim from the likes of Vogue Italia, The Vinyl Factory, Mixmag, DJ Mag (Compilation of the Month), The Arts Desk… Mind Against aka Alessandro and Federico Fognini command the area between widely and wildly welcome dance fuel and technical mastery with deceptive ease.
‘Dreamcast’: a thumping beat and fuzzy synths launch house heaven, lent gravitas by anthemic slow choral chords, as off-beat clanging notes trip up and intrigue the mind and the relentless speed makes dancing compulsory. Euphoric builds and drops kickstart brain chemical production and bookend breaks with blizzards of portentous synth phrases.
The track has already won fans and inspired much joyful raving during their run of shows, including Time Warp NYC and Sao Paolo, Warehouse Project, plus the ever-iconic Afterlife Printworks and Art Basel. No doubt ‘Dreamcast’ will feature in festive clubbing and beyond into the new year.
