Artist Info:
Born and raised in Rome, with German DNA and a diverse musical palette Ae:ther is an artist who has quickly established his pedigree as a formidable producer and selector through scintillating DJ sets and a batch of stunning releases. Now based in Berlin, the 29-year-old has returned to the motherland where he is steadily cultivating a reputation for haunting melodies and narcotic rhythms. With strong connections to Damian Lazarus at Crosstown Rebels and the Afterlife crew, Ae:ther has considerable industry support with his focus on delivering high quality dance floor ready cuts that channel his love for ambient electronica and transmitting deep emotion, while keeping the energy levels high. Ae:ther discovered club music early in his life, inspired by Underground Resistance and the early Detroit sound, along with artists like Autechre, Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream and Miles Davis - pioneers who pushed boundaries. As producing and DJing became a daily obsession, he left Rome to go and study in Milan. It was there, at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) that he studied Sound Design and his lifelong commitment to the exploration of sound and vibration really took hold.

From there he moved to London, a city where he matured and grew as an artist. After a couple of years he found a space at Fortress Studios in Old Street, where he befriended neighbours such as Bicep and assisted other artists with their music, his knowledge of sound design giving him the ability to add a whole other dimension to the artists he worked with. Six years in London gave Ae:ther all the experience he needed of life in a city that many consider to be the centre of the musical universe. In 2017, enticed by the prospect of expanding his network and pushing his career forwards Ae:ther moved to Berlin. There he joined like-minded collaborators Mind Against and Tale Of Us, alongside a whole crew of new friends, and immersed himself in the highly fertile electronic music scene. The Berlin lifestyle; liberal, inclusive and supportive of the arts, has fed back into Ae:ther’s love for production, and taken him to a whole new level of musical expression. 

As a producer he has been blazing a trail, his natural aptitude for crafting emotive, captivating compositions landing him several releases with Afterlife, including his exceptional EP ‘Spectre’, which was released in July 2018. Ae:ther’s love for experimental, ambient music lies at the core of his distinct sound. Coupled with deep underground influences and a meditative atmosphere, he programs taut percussion and juxtaposes it with dreamlike soundscapes, telling mesmerising stories with his synths. This inimitable approach has brought him to the attention of one of the scene’s most influential figures, Damian Lazarus. He has commissioned Ae:ther to compose a remix of his exceptional single ‘All I Need’ with the Ancient Moons, released Ae:ther’s ‘Stardancer EP’ on Crosstown Rebels, and has also signed his debut album ‘Me’. Besides that, Ae:ther has unleashed his debut live set at select clubs and festivals, including performances at Get Lost Miami, Tomorrowland, Audioriver Festival, Day Zero, Afterlife and Sandbox Festival.

Desert Hearts - words still fail me, that festival is perfection. The nature, the people, the vibe. Nothing but love. Here’s the recording of my Sunday afternoon set. <3

Patrice Bäumel - Live at Desert Hearts Spring 2016

The third episode in Afterlife's Voyage podcast series comes from the label's latest signing, Patrice Bäumel. Ahead of the release of 'Glutes'/'Engage' (http://bit.ly/AL004Glutes) on May 12, Patrice ushers in the Summer with a tour through carefully-selected, feel-good records. Subtle, driving and uplifting in equal parts, this Voyage is mixed with the elegance and expertise of someone with over two decades experience behind the decks.

As displayed by his 2016, Kompakt track 'Surge' (a hit in the sets of Tale Of Us), remixes of Depeche Mode or Cubiculor and the upcoming AL004, Patrice is a master of transmitting energy and emotion through his synth lines, arrangements and perfectly-timed vocal sections. He is equally adept as a DJ and this Voyage is a stellar example. Over the 1h45m run time, you're guaranteed to be moved in body and mind. A soundtrack for the summer.

Øostil Closing Cercle x Mind Against

On Saturday, February 29th, beneath a halo of shimmering lights and amidst a dizzying array of lasers in Great Hall, Rodriguez Jr. delivered his newest opus, featuring tracks from his new album Blisss, (debuting on April 24 on Mobilee) to an eager, captivated audience at Cityfox LIVE. The impending album name accurately portrayed the overall mood of the whole live set, a body of work that projected elation and sheer beauty upon listeners. Each sound meticulously crafted and placed to create a grandiose ambiance, at times orchestral in its arrangement, elicited the sense of being part of something bigger than oneself. Coupled with entrancing visuals, a frenetic circle of lights that extended into the audience, and various lasers, it seemed quite clear that our production and Rodriguez Jr.’s music were simply made for each other. 

Harkening back to this amazing 1-hour live set, easily some of Rodriguez Jr.’s best work yet, recreates the magic of the night in the mind’s eye without any difficulty. For those who were unable to attend - here is a chance to experience a sliver of what makes Cityfox LIVE so special. The epic melodies, vocals, and range of sounds - even touching upon some acid house notes - makes this set an aural feast.

Rodriguez Jr., hailing from Paris, France, has graced many Cityfox events past and it is always a pleasure to have him. One of the leading artists on the longstanding label Mobilee, Rodriguez Jr. has championed melodic house and techno and really refined its sound all the while remaining prolific in his productions and constantly performing spectacular live sets. We look forward to a less-troubled time, when we are able to welcome him back to our stage. In the meantime, please support his new album Blisss here: https://mobilee.lnk.to/Blisss
