Australian producer Luke Alessi is back on DJ Tennis' iconic Life and Death label with his latest record, the After Five EP. Picture a roaring 1920s debauched, excessive and riotous cocktail party with screaming brass moments meets 1970s funk and disco grooves that loop and tumble you into a hypnotic state while Barry White's voice guides you through the whole experience. After Five was designed to make you feel sexy, groovy and a little bit wild. A sonic journey through moody elegance and late-night allure, the release is complemented by remixes from boundary-pushing producers Pablo Bozzi and Aldonna. The title track, "After Five," released to an avalanche of praise, proving Luke Alessi's knack for crafting sophisticated beats that resonate across dancefloors. Named as Pete Tong's "Essential New Tune" on his coveted BBC Radio 1 show as well as over ten placements on Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, and heavyweight DJ support from tastemakers like DJ Tennis, Dixon, La Fleur, Laurent Garnier, Jimi Jules, and Demi RiquÃsimo, it's clear his track has struck a universal chord. Pablo Bozzi's remix follows this, putting his signature Italo flex on the title track turning it into a hedonistic and raucous party anthem. Known for her idiosyncratic sound that mirrors her deep sonic interest for the nineties and early noughties, Aldonna finds her sweet spot between house, progressive and trance with her remix of "Day Dreams of Beaches" reflecting exactly this. Already part of the Life and Death family since "Bey Beh" and "Dale Dale," Luke Alessi's music sits in its own lane, refusing to be pigeonholed into any conventional genre.
