The end product is a recognizable, emotional, and compelling signature that leaves a mark on every stage they grace, and that will include the mts Dance Arena<\/a> at EXIT on Sunday, July 9!<\/b><\/p>\n

Alessandro and Federico Fognini first crossed paths in 2008 while studying audio engineering in Milan, and soon after, they moved to Berlin, where they began to create music together. As <\/span>Mind Against<\/b>, they introduced their first single, \u201c<\/span>Cagliostro<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u201c<\/b> to the world in 2011 on the groundbreaking label <\/span>Life and Death<\/b>. Notable EPs followed, starting with \u201c<\/span>Atlant<\/b><\/a>\u201d<\/b> and <\/span>\u201c<\/b>Avalon<\/b><\/a>.<\/b>\u201d<\/b> Three years later, they signed a contract with <\/span>Deutsche Grammophon<\/b> and released their first album, <\/span>“Endless.\u201d<\/b> This led to key collaborations with the likes of <\/span>Tale of Us, Somne, Locked Groove<\/b>, and <\/span>Aether<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, the duo returned to the <\/span>Afterlife<\/b> record label with a new release, <\/span>\u201c<\/b>Days Gone<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u201c<\/b> a year after the<\/span> \u201c<\/b>Solaris<\/b><\/a>\u201c<\/b> EP, again demonstrating why their expertly-produced, emotionally-infused tracks are so cherished. Their most recent release for this label is last year’s EP \u201c<\/span>Walking Away<\/b><\/a>.<\/b>\u201c<\/b> The title track on this album garnered <\/span>over three million Spotify streams and reached the top three most downloaded songs on Beatport<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

They recently introduced their new music label and platform, <\/span>HABITAT<\/b>, describing it as “a world where music transcends boundaries, where art defies limitations, and technology unlocks endless possibilities.\u201d The first single, <\/span>\u201c<\/b>Criseide<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u201c<\/b> has already won over listeners, and its beat will resonate at the Petrovaradin Fortress as early as next week!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind Against <\/b><\/a>have established themselves on the global electronic music map as a highly sought-after duo, performing at leading clubs and the most prominent festivals. <\/span>DJ Mag<\/b> classified them among<\/span> the top 100 alternative DJs in 2018.<\/b> Their mutual understanding is manifested in the dynamics of their sets, where a refined selection and intricate mixing intertwine to lead the audience on a memorable journey. We are set to experience one such journey on <\/span>July 9 at the EXIT Festival<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
