Life And Death founder DJ Tennis is back on his home ground for the first time in 8 years, bringing Melbourne's finest new gen producer Luke Alessi to the party. For their first studio collaboration, they deliver an ecstatic floor-driven bomb with winks at early 90s house, all within a contemporary sound palette. 

With its pumping groove, rapturous stabs, and hallucinatory acid notes, the record is poignantly tied together via heavy tribal drums and euphoric vocal samples. “Dale Dale” is a late-night to early-morning anthem that should keep the neighbors awake all summer. 

Already part of the Life and Death family since his 2023 breakthrough release “Bey Beh,” Luke Alessi’s music sits in its own lane, refusing to be pigeonholed into any conventional genre. A frequent collaborator of Chloe Caillet, Carlita, Rüfus Du Sol, and many more established talents, 2024 has been a huge year for Alessi, with noticeable DJ debuts from Mexico to Asia via Europe and North America.

Even with a nonstop touring schedule this summer - with appearances at Glastonbury, Circoloco, Kappa Futur Festival, Sonar, and his own Life and Death parties in Berlin and Los Angeles - DJ Tennis has continued to prioritize his time in the studio. With this new collaborative single, he confirms once again his love for championing fresh, groundbreaking talent and bringing together a strong family around Life And Death.

Right on cue for the busy S/S season ahead, Adam Ten punches in with a much anticipated second transmission for Life & Death, ‘Comusa’. Composed in collaboration with DvirNuns and true to both their signature hi-NRG style, this latest iteration is a proper magnetic piece of exotica-laced, acid-dipped house tinged with a strong balearic DNA. Primed for peak time use, ‘Comusa’ oozes vibrant coastal vibes and fleshes out its sun-streaked atmosphere with cutting-edge bass boost and French-spoken vocal playfulness. Absolute hazard of a seemingly lo-slung house tune, ready to bring the ruckus no matter the hour of the day.

Fully devoted to the art of setting dance floors ablaze ever since he first stepped into the London house scene, Archie Hamilton has piled up killer tracks like one stacks gold in their vault. His newest sonic missives for Life & Death, ’The Rhythm’ feat. multi-faceted Canadian artist Myst Milano and 'Blow My Mind', vouch for Hamilton’s propulsive take on the club-ready medium with two joints locked-and-loaded. Shockwaves coming in hot.

Muscling in with the sinewy bass maneuvers, melancholy-drenched chords, crunchy rap hooks, and equal levels of bouncy poise, ’The Rhythm’ finds Hamilton doing what he does best, i.e. dishing out a vibey tsunami of jacking house patterns draped in hypnotic folds of 303-powered lysergic psychedelia; mixing the dogged punch and in-your-face honesty of early Chicago material with the textural sophistication of our fractalized age's all-digital rendering. A further sludgy piece of acid bass-forward business, ‘Blow My Mind’ takes us on a bumpy ride across funky meanders and neon-splattered ‘90s electro scapes, roller coasting its way from fuzzy, elastic grooviness onto electrifying bursts of free-flowing peak time tour de force.

Zurich-born, New York-based DJ Tony y Not is best known for her free-spirited sets, seamlessly weaving together techy acid, progressive, dark disco, and heart-opening indie. She brings that signature energy to her Kompakt debut with striking precision. Have You Lost Your Mind channels a touch of Swan Lake-era Todd Terry – one of NYC house’s legendary figures – delivering a razor-sharp acid line, a rock-solid groove, and one of the most flawlessly executed breakdown/drop combos in recent memory. Deep Don’t Stop follows suit, skillfully reviving the essence of ’90s New York club culture in a way that would have set Junior Vasquez’s Sound Factory ablaze. True to her mission, Tony y Not continues to spread joy and uplift others, both on and off the dance floor.

TEE MANGO’s first release on Kompakt has been a long time coming. Ever since Michael Mayer heard his sunkissed remix of The Invisible’s ‘K Town Sunset’ back in 2017, he’s been obsessed with his music. The two tracks here, ‘Moonshots’ and ‘My Mind Is Making Up Monsters’, are prime examples of TEE’s ability to create heartfelt, uplifting modern house music. There’s a sense of bacchanal liberation, a potent transcendental element that opens the mind to joyful bliss.
