DIssident founder Noel Sanger returns with his first original single in over FIVE YEARS. Noel has been releasing music (remixes, collaborations, etc) regularly in that time, not only on Dissident but also on top global labels like Ride Recordings, Intricate Records, Black Hole, Silk Music, Nueva, and more. But he’s also been holding back dozens of original solo tracks intended for inclusion on his upcoming artist album, which is slated for completion in 2020. A.F.F.T.E.R. is the first offering from this long-awaited album. A.F.F.T.E.R. promises and delivers a breezy, summery feel, offered in two distinct flavors, both at 120bpm, reminiscent of those extended hours, dancing well after the sunrise, the creation of common memory that we all miss so dearly. The title, A.F.F.T.E.R, is not only a reference to such extravagances, it’s also an acronym with a deeper meaning. With its emotive horn-section melodies, it aspires to provide the soundtrack to a joyful homecoming of sorts - A Fanfare For The Exiles’ Return. In 2020 we all feel like exiles of one sort or another, and we look forward to the day when our beloved community gathers again, on the dance floor, in the name and unity of house music. All of us, exiles returning home. We think A.F.F.T.E.R. is also an appropriate return to form for Noel, after 5 years without a solo single release, and it is a wonderful foreshadowing of what’s to come in 2020 and 2021 for this veteran producer. Stay tuned, more soon.
