Afterlife Voyage 013 by Tale Of Us
Melodic techno casualties standing perfectly still with their eyes closed, waiting for an upside-down man to appear on a screen—it’s the classic Afterlife experience. These are the "spiritual experience" merchants who think a 16-bar synth build is the equivalent of a religious awakening. The vibe is ethereal, brooding, and heavily cinematic, like a journey through a beautifully lit void.
Dive into the Tale Of Us Afterlife Voyage 013 tracklist for this Tale Of Us live set, and you're met with a deep, sweeping Rominimal and techno masterclass. They keep the tempo incredibly steady at 123.8 BPM, heavily exploring the 12A, 7A, and 3B keys to craft a profoundly emotional energy arc. Their mixing style is famously patient, layering massive, dramatic arpeggios over rolling basslines.
Crate diggers will love the selection of unreleased IDs and deep cuts, featuring massive atmospheric tracks like "Fideles - Endless Sacrifice" and the brilliant "Floorplan - Ritual". The journey is meticulously constructed. It begins in the shadows with an unidentified opening track "Unknown - Unknown", hits a massive, tear-jerking peak with "Adamant (IT) - Last Promises", and finally resolves the tension with the soaring closing track "Kevin de Vries - Phoenix".
