We’re back in action with a stellar DJ mix from Italian duo Mind Against, riveting electronica from CloudNone, a new indie-electronic collab from TWO LANES and Panama, and much more.
FABRIC PRESENTS: MIND AGAINST DJ MIX [FABRIC RECORDS]
Following the footsteps of underground royalty, such as Leon Vynehall, Overmono, Amelie Lens, and more, Italian brother duo Alessandro and Federico Fognini – alias Mind Against – are the latest to contribute to the esteemed Fabric Presents series. Known for their blend of euphoric melodic techno and electronica, the Berlin-based duo has gained global acclaim with their consistent streak of quality productions and meticulously curated live performances. Their Fabric Presents mix reflects everything that makes them a standout act: unparalleled selection, emotional soundscapes, and blissed-out transitions. Opening with Aurora Halal’s ‘Just Tell Me,’ the mix starts languidly, subtly, and mindfully building. Their DJ sets typically tease fans with many unreleased tracks to track down later, and true to form, the mix includes 11 exclusives such as Red Axes’ euphoric cut ‘Connector’ and Yotam Avni’s ‘Take One.’ From established names like Frankey & Sandrino, Butch, and Roman Flügel, to up-and-comers Nandu, Aera, and Shiffer, the duo showcases the artists they love. The mix concludes with their July-released collaborative effort with Dyzen.
TWO LANES x PANAMA – LEFT BEHIND
Indie-electronica lovers can rejoice at the latest from rising electronica duo TWO LANES, which sees them join forces with multihyphenate Panama. “Left Behind” is a gorgeous – yet chilling – airy synth-driven single that tells the story of making sacrifices in life and having to leave something important to you behind. The Berlin-based duo has recently carved a name for themselves due to their impeccable knack for blending analog and gentle electronic beat elements with stunning piano melodies. Their instrumental for “Left Behind” provided the perfect landscape for Panama’s raw and emotional songwriting. More impressively, the track was a product of an entirely remote process between the artists, sending samples and ideas to each other until the “Left Behind” was finalized. The single arrives ahead of TWO LANES’ debut headlining North American tour, which is slated to kick off in November. Dates and tickets can be found here.
CLOUDNONE x DANYKA NADEAU – LOST [ENHANCED RECORDINGS]
On the heels of his joint 2-track EP with Direct, Elixir / Nectar, anonymous producer CloudNone continues his hot release streak with “Lost.” The single sees the enigmatic talent join forces with Monstercat mainstay Danyka Nadeau for a stunning slice of shimmery electronica. Since his official debut in 2018, the mysterious CloudNone has climbed the release ranks with his unique ability to create uplifting melodies that transport listeners into a comforting plane of existence. His continuous affinity for crafting airy and plush instrumentals is inspired by his alias, which is a play on the term “cloud nine.” His latest production, “Lost,” is unapologetically CloudNone. Boasting a cocktail of swirling synths, a subtle breakbeat bassline, and Danyka Nadeau‘s powerful vocal topline, “Lost” evokes the feeling of elation that is ever-present in CloudNone’s music.
OBLVYN x ROSEANNA – LIFETIME
Two female powerhouses with drastically different styles unite in their latest collaborative effort, “Lifetime.” Meshing OBLVYN’s distinct take on melodic dubstep and Roseanna’s hauntingly alluring vocals, the track is reminiscent of early fan favorites from the genre. Boasting emotional valleys and epic and melodic peaks, “Lifetime” is a prime example of how the duo’s styles are a match made in heaven. The story behind the track parallels a fairytale love story driven by fate; guided by silky smooth synth pads, euphoric vocals, and a smooth percussion selection, all elements cohesively capture a cinematic vibe that’s all its own. Since debuting with the self-released “Terrestrial” in 2018, OBVLYN has turned heads with her youthful, yet relentless, spin on future bass and melodic dubstep. With “Lifetime,” she continues to cement her position as a force to be reckoned with in the dance music space.
KILL FEED – TOASTY!
Adding another unique, unpredictable, and ever-changing beat to his discography, Belgian native KILL FEED continues to extend the boundaries of his production style without compromising the quality of his releases. “TOASTY!,” despite the title is not predictable nor comforting in nature. From the moment you hit “play,” you enter a different world. The song begins on an eerie note. Slowly, notes begin to emerge and the tune transforms from a rock-like style to a sci-fi feel. You are no longer in the real world, you are in a simulation- a video game. Formerly known as 50HMAN, KILL FEED continues honing into his experimental sound with “TOASTY!”
