Afterwork is pleased to announce the release of our third EP, Neutral, available on September 15, 2025.

This release comes from Sebastián, known artistically as Nøctem, a Colombian DJ and producer based in Barcelona. With a deeply personal approach and refined production, Neutral is a testament to the artist's talent and sonic evolution.

Across six tracks, Nøctem guides us on an immersive journey where hypnotic techno and dynamic grooves converge with soundscapes that evoke both euphoria and nostalgia. Each track is designed to progressively release energy, creating a sonic narrative that captivates from the first moment.

This EP is a clear example of Nøctem's vision and the spirit that defines Afterwork: music with identity, depth, and purpose.
