Maximiljan has been a close friend of ours here at ALiVE for some time now. After a few tracks for our big sister label, as well as a busy year with releases on Souvenir, Suara and Get Digital, we thought the time was right for his debut ALiVE Black EP....

Maximiljan - Shine Through [ALiVE Black 009]

Available from Beatport: Monday 22nd October 2012

For the 10th release on ALiVE Black, we're pleased to welcome Amnesia resident - 'Mar-T'..

'islikethat' slinks along on a bed of deliciously techy beats and tight drum programming, vocal snippets and an infectious groove keeping the dancefloor jammin' into the early hours; 'Out of Mars' ups the energy level with a pure slice of peak time perfection - maxed out synth work taking the intensity higher for maximum madness whilst 'Perpetual Blue' rounds things off nicely, a nicely balanced effort of groove with anthemic qualities make it clear that Mar-T is a producer to keep an eye on!

Early support from: Pirupa, Dyed Soundorom, Wally Lopez, The Junkies, Reset Robot, Kolombo, Gel Abril....

Mar-T - Out Of Mars [ALiVE Black 010]

Mar-T - Islikethat [ALiVE Black 010]

ALiVE Black 011 // Ross Evana // Honey Trap EP

Available on Monday 19th November 2012

Early support from / Paco Osuna / Dubfire / Nic Fanciulli / Dyed Soundorom / SLAM / Karotte / Kolombo / Anil Chawla // 

Ross Evana is next up on ALiVE Black and will be a name familiar to followers of our label, having already released two prior eps with us, each passing track marking out the man as a producer that is piquing serious interest. 'Honey Trap' see's Ross in typical big room form, cavernous beats and large synth patterns combine for maximum peak time effect. Ross teams up with Exacta and sultry songstress 'Kate Elsworth' next for a sleek mood setter on 'Called Affair'; the deeply atmospheric vibe of the track coupled perfectly with Kate's sensual vocal delivery. Finally 'See No Evil' makes clever use of a sampled vocal refrain, as catchy as it is hypnotic giving the track a really distinct edge. //

Ross Evans - Honey Trap [ALiVE Black 011]

This weekend just gone saw the last ever High Tide Boat Party in Southampton. I was lucky enough to be asked to play. The set was meant to be recorded but it didn't happen.
I thought, while I still remember what I played, I'd re-record it (Ableton as no cdj's at home)
