Mind Against (Afterlife, IT)

IDM, House ve Tekno türlerinin birbiriyle harmanlanmasından esinlenerek müzikal bir yolculuğa çıkan Mind Against, İtalya doğumlu, Berlin asıllı Alessandro ve Federico Fognini kardeşlerin ortak projesidir. Müziklerine stüdyolarında verdikleri ruh, eşsiz şekilde dans pistine yansırken, Tekno müziğine kattıkları kendilerine özgü tınılar, kulüpte türünün tek örneği bir deneyim yaşatmalarını sağlamaktadır. 

2012’de ilk single’ları olan ‘Cagliostro’yu, dönemin en ses getiren plak şirketi Life and Death etiketiyle yayınlamış, Tale Of Us ve Somne ile yaptıkları önemli ortak projeleri takiben, Cocoon ve Recondite’ın plak şirketi Plangent etiketiyle çıkan seçkilerde kendilerine yer bulmaya başlamışlardır. Art Department, Roisin Murphy ve Green Velvet gibi sanatçıların eserlerine sihirli dokunuşlar yapan İtalyan kardeşler, yakın zamanda yeteneklerini SHDW & Obscure Shape ve Hakimonu’nun parçalarında sergileyerek, beğenileri üzerlerine toplamayı başarmıştır.

Tüm bunlar olurken Mind Against, artık geniş kitlelere dokunan, romantik Tekno olarak bilinen bir akımın öncüsü haline gelmiş, elektronik müziğe yön veren kulüp ve festivallerde gösterdikleri öforik performanslarıyla efsaneleşme yolunda emin adımlar atmaya başlamıştır.

Mind Against (Afterlife/IT)

Expressing a musical venture which draws from the combined roots of IDM, house and techno, Mind Against are the Italian-born, Berlin-based duo of Alessandro and Federico Fognini.

Their gift for creating emotion through the synths and percussive instruments in their studio translates uniquely onto the dancefloor, where their slick, moving take on techno makes for a special kind of peak in the club. They draw from the psychedelic hooks of 1980s soundtracks and from modern dance music’s emphasis on sound design to create a distinctive and immensely powerful sound.

In 2012 they recorded and released their first single ‘Cagliostro’ on breakthrough label Life and Death, following that up by essential collaborations with Tale Of Us and Somne for the same label and compilation appearances on Sven Vath’s Cocoon and Recondite’s label Plangent. Through a string of remixes, Mind Against leant their touch to the work of, amongst others, Art Department, Róisín Murphy and Green Velvet. More recently also for SHDW & Obscure Shape and Hakimonu, inspiring a remix EP of the latter’s “Insular Realms” through a masterstroke club edit.

All the while, they have become consumate and globally in-demand DJs, dazzling at many of electronic music’s leading clubs and festivals. Their understanding of each other plays out in the dynamism of their joint DJ sets, where a refined selection and intricate mixing forms a journey like no other. Case in point: their revered Essential Mix from 2016.

Mind Against’s discography has grown with standout releases for Tale Of Us’ Afterlife label and Scuba’s Hotflush, including further collaborations with Locked Groove and Aether. In 2018, they will return to the Afterlife label with a new EP and continue enchant the crowds they play for.
