re:boot

For many people, recent years have offered time to rethink, redefine, and restart in various ways. This is especially true for producers Nikhil Prakash and Adrian Alexander. Having paved separate paths within the trance and progressive scene over the last decade, Adrian and Nikhil amassed impressive individual discographies, replete with club-minded melody-focused music. When the time came for party-goers to take a break from dance floors, however, that time away from the energy of live events brought these two producers to the same studio for a new project. Nikhil and Adrian channeled their senses of longing for laser-lit late nights in crowded warehouses, and began to craft a sound that was different from their usual uplifting affair. The music became darker and brooding in nature; the grooves evolved to be heavy and bruising. Their vision of warehouse-minded dance music had materialized from their forced time away from live music, and when live music returned in late 2021, the boys were ready for their fresh start. re:boot was born. Since launching the project, re:boot have racked up releases on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats and Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance imprints. Their recent tour stops on the Anjunabeats Worldwide Tour and guest mix on Group Therapy Radio have offered a taste of what’s in store for the act. With plenty more music to come in 2023 and beyond, Adrian and Nikhil are ready to hit the dance floor and show fans just what re:boot is all about.
