Infinity

Infinity Ink

FFRR

WE SAY

Another act from the Crosstown Rebels stable, Infinity Ink are Ali Love and Luca C, who themselves comprise one half of RotD-featured super-collective Hot Natured. To call Infinity a slow burn - it was one of last summer's biggest Ibiza anthems - is possibly to understate just how long the track has maintained a head of steam, picking up a clutch of impressive chart positions as it plotted a course around Europe, including a four-month sojourn in Belgium's top 5. Various incarnations of the video have attracted in excess of 12 million YouTube views over the track's long life, 750k of which were for the Dawn Shadforth-directed official video premiered on Noisey in March, while support at Radio 1 and 1Xtra runs the gamut from specialist to daytime. Watch out for Ali and Luca's seemingly unending live schedule throughout the summer, both as Infinity Ink and as part of Hot Natured.
