Afterlife is a forward-thinking record label that is owned by the internationally recognized electronic music duo Tale Of Us, which consists of Carmine Conte (MRAK) and Matteo Milleri (Anyma). Today, Interscope Records made the announcement that it will join with Afterlife. As part of the relationship, Interscope will be responsible for the publication of Anyma’s debut album and will also distribute all Afterlife releases, which will include both upcoming recordings and the label’s back catalog.
Anyma’s upcoming single, which is scheduled for release on June 8th, will be the first piece of music to come out as a result of the new deal. The highly anticipated tune, which is titled “Welcome To The Opera,” features Anyma and Grimes. The sought-after track was a mainstay in the live sets of Anyma and Tale Of Us throughout the course of the past year. It was the result of a collaboration between two of the most influential musical geniuses working together to produce a song that is genuinely unlike any other. The release of Anyma’s debut album is slated for later on in this year.
Over their tremendous careers as artists and label owners, Carmine and Matteo have helped shape dance music culture for an entire generation. We are excited to collaborate with them to bring their music to an even larger global audience. – John Janick, Chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M
Afterlife: the Past, the Present and the Future with Interscope
Afterlife is a music streaming platform that debuted in 2016 and exhibits a continual dedication to musical excellence and artistic creativity. Realm Of Consciousness was Afterlife’s first compilation, and it featured singles from artists such as Mind Against, Recondite, and Woo York, among others. The compilation received widespread recognition almost immediately, and it helped establish the label as the leading destination for techno music. The duo made their musical debut in 2017 with the release of their album titled “Endless,” which was issued by the classical music label Deutsche Grammophon. This record showcased the duo’s refined approach to electronic music. Afterlife has hosted releases by artists such as Argy, ANNA, CamelPhat, Cassian, Colyn, Kevin de Vries, Mathame, and Stephan Bodzin, to name just a few, over the course of its history.
Carmine and Matteo have made their distinctive mark in music both as artists and as label owners. Working with them on all of their future recordings as well as with the amazing artists on Afterlife is a massive honor for us. – A&R Executive Ryan Roy
Interscope Records is a natural partner to help continue our vision and journey – Matteo Milleri.
Since the band’s start in 2008, Tale Of Us have seen incredible success in their endeavors. Their jaw-dropping performances and painstakingly created visual production have cemented their status as one of the most influential groups in the electronic music industry and beyond. With a global footprint that spans multiple countries, Tale of Us’ Afterlife provides exceptional events in cities all over the world, including Amsterdam, London, Tulum, New York, and more. Afterlife recently accomplished a feat that has not been accomplished by any other artist in a significant amount of time, selling out three straight gigs at The Brooklyn Mirage in under thirty minutes each.
The partnership signifies not just the incredible growth and recognition Tale Of Us’ music has achieved but the aspiration and love for electronic music that Matteo and Carmine are so passionate about. – Tale Of Us managers Aurelia Ortiz and Evan Baker
This summer, Tale Of Us will be performing at H Ibiza as part of a weekly residency that will begin in June. In 2022, the duo had the most successful residence on the island in terms of sales. During Coachella 2023, the duo also gained the status of having the third-largest attendance at the Sahara Tent, further establishing themselves as a well-known musical act on a global scale.
About the future of Anyma and his upcoming album on Interscope
Matteo Milleri, who is one of the two founding member of Tale Of Us and whose music and visual art have been generating a stir in the world of music, is the creative force behind the multi-disciplinary music and contemporary fine art project known as Anyma. The unusual sights of a humanoid robot striving to escape from the screen have captured the imaginations of millions of fans all over the world, and footage filmed at Anyma’s inaugural live performances has gone viral many times. The shows are an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime event that takes things to a level beyond what has been seen before. As a result, they are helping to solidify Anyma’s reputation within the music business as a visionary, pioneering endeavor unlike any other.
Anyma has released a number of songs over the course of the previous several months, in addition to the release of reworks of tracks originally produced by Fred Again.. and Swedish House Mafia, as well as other artists.
Anyma’s world is one in which music and the visual arts coexist as a single entity; this is true whether she is participating in an art show or giving a live performance. The identity of Anyma is inextricably linked to the music, to the extent that Milleri and Art Director Alessio De Vecchi initially programmed it during the lockdown for the year 2020. This connection is so strong that the music is frequently altered to fit the visual, and vice versa. ‘Welcome To The Opera‘ is the continuation of a continuing tale arc that examined themes of technology, nature, and mankind and their cohabitation. The future of this story arc will be disclosed at any of Anyma’s upcoming live concerts, exhibitions, or releases.
