Italian artist 19:26 is back on Afterlife with a new five-track EP, The Passage. The record highlights his signature blend of cinematic sound design and club-focused intensity, bringing together solo productions and collaborations with MRAK, Yubik and Layla Benitez.

Releases on ATLANT, Oddity, Zamna and Interstellar have all showcased 19:26’s ability to balance emotional weight with functionality on the dancefloor — a balance that’s once again central to this latest release.

Opening track “Overrated”, with MRAK, sets a moody and atmospheric tone before the EP shifts into the darker energy of “Relax Your Mind” with Yubik. Solo cuts “Resurge” and “Nocturne” lean into vocal and synth-driven expression, while the collaboration with Layla Benitez, “All The Time”, adds another layer of emotional intensity.

What makes The Passage stand out is 19:26’s instinct for narrative structure. Across five tracks, he builds momentum with precision, giving each cut space to breathe while still keeping the EP tightly bound as a complete statement.

As Afterlife continues to push its distinct vision of melodic and emotive techno, The Passage reaffirms 19:26’s role as one of the label’s most compelling voices – delivering music equally at home on late-night dancefloors or in solitary headphone moments.
