     Mirroring a musical region thatÆs had a particular impact on him has been
     the M.O. of SneijderÆs æAfterdarkÆ album run since it embarked back in
     2018. Its æBuenos AiresÆ and æLos AngelesÆ compilations sent a clear signal
     of intent, but 2020 - as we all know - has been music-richà but
     travel-poor.

     So, for its third, right-on-schedule outing, the DJ has taken the chance to
     bring the Afterdark sound closer to home, and for Sneijder that doesnÆt get
     much closer than Belfast. Both the city and Northern Ireland as a country
     have a trance culture as ingrained as they come. Industrial
     industriousness, itÆs also comes with a very specific sound, which û for
     the release - has allowed Sneijder to fully reconnect with his own tougher
     musical roots.

     Greater Northern Irish resonance itÆs hard to imagine, but that hasnÆt
     stopped Sneijder finding a way. For the first time in the Afterdark series,
     heÆs given a disc over to another DJ. With close to double digit entries
     scored on the AfterdarkÆs discography, BelfastÆs Billy Gillies - one of the
     sceneÆs brightest new hopes - knows exactly what makes the label tick and
     his home-turf kick!

     Between them they bring plenty of local produce to æ003Æs tracklist, with
     Shugz, Karney (Bryan Kearney), Mandy Reid, Niall McKeever, Deirdre
     McLaughlin, Project 8 and others all contributing exclusives. Sneijder and
     BillyÆs own studiowares are every bit as well represented, and the albumÆs
     dual discs sport a mass more besides, with the likes of Alex Di Stefano,
     David Forbes, Vlind and Ahmed Romel all contributing.

     Of his decision to site the third in the series in Belfast, Sneijder says:
     ôthrough iconic venues such as Kellys, Circus Circus, The Arena,
     Kilwaughter House, Exit 15, the infamous Ulster and KingÆs Hall, Planetlove
     and others, Northern Ireland is a country built on clubbing culture. These
     are the clubs and brands that shaped my generation, where û weekly - I
     watched countless musical heroes of mine, all of which helped influence my
     soundö.

     For this mix, Sneijder brings all his local knowledge to bear, opening with
     his summer 2020 stomper æChuck NorrisÆ. The tech-cum-psy of ShugzÆs æLa
     BombaÆ, the heavenly æDystopiaÆ from Ahmed Romel and the percussive smack
     of KarneyÆs æSmilerÆ all help triangulate the N.I. sound. Sneijder marshals
     plenty of his own remix weaponry too, with his revisions of Nick
     CallaghanÆs æMurkyÆ, the classic æWe CameÆ from Vimana and a new spin on
     Peter SteeleÆs æKarmaÆ all kissing the laser. In its most ascendant latter
     stages, Sneijder rolls out some new collab gear, including his David Forbes
     team-up æAccelerateÆ and û setting the scene for his Belfast compatriotÆs
     disc û the Billy Gillies joint-venture æRhinoÆ.

     Reins passed, new Belfast lad on the block Billy track-packs his mix with
     an impressive, near-mini-albumÆs worth of his own material. æChemicalÆ,
     æExpandÆ and ShugzÆs rewax of æPowerÆ bring tough nÆ tech-ish shades, which
     nitrously charge its opening 20. The midsection sees big artistic drops
     from Vlind (with æNo FateÆ & æIllusion Of ChoiceÆ) and Project 8 (æNaughtyÆ
     & æThe CreatorÆ), before Billy gets back on his own supply, delivering a
     final floor salvo of æDΘjα vuÆ, æClosed EyesÆ, æFlightÆ & æSee You AgainÆ.

     The trance sound of Northern Ireland, distilled into 40 tracks and 160
     minutes of the best type of musical madness, from two of the spinners who
     know it best!
