MRAK Releases Long-Awaited “Smoke” Alongside Two New Singles on Afterlife
Afterlife co-founder Carmine Conte returns as MRAK with “Smoke,” “Nobody,” and “All Of The Lights”—a powerful trio that blends deep emotion, cinematic soundscapes, and dancefloor energy.

MRAK, the acclaimed solo project of Afterlife co-founder Carmine Conte, returns with a stunning trio of tracks that further solidify his visionary approach to electronic music. Out now via Afterlife, "Smoke," "Nobody," and "All Of The Lights" showcase MRAK's signature blend of emotional depth, technical precision, and conceptual storytelling.
Having built anticipation over months of ID requests and live plays, "Smoke" finally sees an official release. It's a deep and immersive cut that combines moody, rolling drums with luminous synth layers and ethereal vocal textures. The track's slow-building trance chords and atmospheric presence make it a standout moment for dancefloors and headphones alike.
"Nobody" follows with a more introspective tone. Anchored by a tight rhythmic framework and haunting vocal samples, it weaves soul and space into a hypnotic, late-night groove. The result is both personal and profound—perfect for those who crave emotion in their club experiences.
Closing the release is "All Of The Lights," a track that delivers cinematic energy and powerful low-end drive. Its broad basslines, snapping drums, and evocative vocals work together to create a climactic, high-impact journey—one that reflects the grandeur and drama MRAK is known for.
MRAK isn't just a musical alias—it’s Conte’s artistic deep dive into experimental, conceptual soundscapes. Each release serves as a chapter in an ongoing narrative where music is not just to be heard, but felt and experienced on a transformative level.
With this latest release, MRAK continues to push the boundaries of melodic techno, further cementing his position as a key figure in the evolution of the genre.
