PRESS
"Afinque is an 12-piece, classic salsa y salsa dura band from Burlington. Featuring many of the finest musicians in Vermont, Afinque pays tribute to the sounds of New York’s famed Palladium club and the great Fania record label. This energetic outfit plays fiery and intense salsa, with the sultry sounds of vocalist Miriam Bernardo floating over a funky, percussive Latin beat"
-Burlington First Night

"Afinque was exciting. They played fiery, intense salsa, with Bernardo’s sultry lyrics floating over a funky percussive Latin beat. It’s one of the best First Night gigs I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been going to First Night performances in various cities throughout the Northeast for 20 years now." 
-Brent Hallenbeck, Arts & Entertainment reporter for the Burlington Free Press

"Afinque plays fun, energetic salsa led by a stunning, lively female vocalist (Miriam Bernardo) Their sound is more a tribute to older styles, like Salsa Dura, which features fat, brass-heavy compositions characterized by multiple percussive elements and a less romanticized, down-and-dirty kind of style" 
-Amanda Macchia, Performer Magazine.





nettnettradio is an expansive network of radio makers working to cultivate an art and information channel that aggregates stories from citizens around the world. As a freethinking radio community, we advocate for accessibility, the exchange of knowledge and the development of safe spaces for the production and broadcasting of diverse cultural and artistic practices – essential processes for social, physical and mental well-being. We operate as a self-organized, non-profit, non-corporatized group of artists, activists and innovators that believe in revolution through radio. Now, more than ever, we must work together to develop solidarity among a diverse and impactful web of trans-continental voices.

When a label carries the same name as the artist behind it, you can already assume artistically synchronized expressionism. This is the case for Dimitri Schnider, alias Definition and his label of the same name. Definition himself has been busy composing electronic music since 2009, and standing behind the decks since ’07. However, it all started with a drum set - the rhythm of which flows unbridled in his veins.

Definition is calls himself neither producer nor label owner nor DJ. He is all in one. This three-in-one combination manifests itself undeniably in his music. He relies on harmony, a music that is round in itself and at the same time knows no boundaries. If you enjoy your music, you embark on a journey without limits – precisely which definition, as its name predicts, is defined for the listener.

This is not the only factor in making a name for himself over the years as DJ, Producer and Label Owner - in diverse clubs, well-known labels and top artists on his label. It is also due his special characteristic to - despite his success - stay firmly grounded. Unless he’s making music, then he really takes off.
