Underground Dystopia Meets Analog With Alex Dolby

/in /by

Experimentation is the main influence behind Alex Dolby‘s sound, as he has become firmly settled with creating expressive techno with analog sounds, rough textures, and tough rhythms — all of which are accompanied by dystopian aesthetics. With over 15 years of releasing music, Alex has landed on labels such as John Digweed’s Bedrock, Global Underground, Emmanuel’s ARTS, Developer’s Modularz, DJ Emerson’s Micro.fon, as well as many others. In 2012, Alex found his label Affekt Recordings in his Italian hometown, Frosinone. The label reflects the ethos of underground culture and musical standards and has also cataloged the likes of Pär Grindvik, Alex Bau, Mental Resonance, VSK, and MTD. 

As of recent, Alex released his 8-track album Transition Era on EVOD Music on September 5th. The album takes on an introspective modular sound with Alex’s own style of underground flare. On the album, listeners can expect more than just analog sounds, but a variety of esoteric, hypnotic, gritty, and dystopian soundscapes that create an abstract and experimental environment. His full album Transition Era is now available for full purchase.

/in /by

U.K. duo Versus (aka Dave Skehan and Scott Walker) are blazing a trail through the British club scene and beyond as they have already clocked up releases on world-class labels such as Ultra, Repopulate Mars, Under No Illusion, SOLA, and Realm.
