The formidable Italian DJ/production duo Mind Against have just released their latest Love Seeking EP, out now via DJ Tennis’s Life and Death label. The EP includes the soulful title track, available in both original and extended club mixes, as well as a climactic remix from the respected German duo Âme. The release is available on both digital platforms and vinyl.
As Billboard described in their weekly dance music guide, the original mix of “Love Seeking” is like a “very cold glass of rosé at 6:00 p.m. on a summer Friday… the sonic and spiritual opposite of the duo’s typically dark and more pummeling output, but which proves they can do both equally well.” Although the track marks a departure from their established sound, with its euphoric backdrop, it serves as a full-circle moment for Mind Against, who influenced a massive wave of melodic house and techno back in 2013 with their debut release Atlant, also on Life and Death.
“This EP is very special to us as it marks our return to our very first label,” remarks Mind Against on Love Seeking. “Since the release of our Atlant EP in 2013, both ourselves and Life and Death have grown our own paths, and it’s a great feeling being back to our very first mothership with an artistic proposal transcending the usual genre boundaries.”
The Innervisions bosses Âme take the track to new heights with their cinematic remix on the EP. Featuring symphonies of luscious pads and a deep, thunderous kick, Âme shifts “Love Seeking” from an indie dance bop to a theatrical techno escapade. Following a slow-burning psychedelic intro, Âme deconstructs the track down to just the vocal during the breakdown, spotlighting it before rebuilding the energy into a massive crescendo.
Hailing from Italy and currently based in Lisbon, brothers Alessandro and Federico Fogini—the minds behind Mind Against—have made a significant impact on the global dance music scene. Known for their emotionally rich sound palette and deep, immersive take on house and techno, the duo has risen to become one of the most in-demand acts in the underground dance music space, celebrated for their masterful “all-night-long” performances.
Life and Death, founded by DJ Tennis (real name Manfredi Romano), has become a pivotal label in the electronic music landscape. During a time when minimal, percussive music dominated the underground, Romano broke the mold by bringing soulful, lively sounds to the forefront, alongside his post-rock influences. This unique approach has led to beloved records from artists like Red Axes, Recondite, Carlita, Jimi Jules, and more.
With a career spanning over a decade, DJ Tennis has become a tastemaker in the music industry, evolving from a punk band tour manager to an event organizer, artist, and label head. He has collaborated on original music with LP Giobbi and Alex Metric, remixed tracks by Maribou State and Jungle, performed b2b sets with Gerd Janson and Kerri Chandler, and has managed renowned acts like Tale Of Us and Carlita.
