If there is a spare minute in Alex B’s life, it is spent in the studio working on music. His use of a dizzying mixture of analog hardware and newer digital technology give him a signature sound that is difficult to pin down to just one (or two or three) genres. Layers and layers of synthesizer, bass and enticing effects are laid over broken hip-hop and down-tempo inspired beats to create rich textures with a jazz undercurrent.
The lush and dynamic quality of his music is a product of the time and care put into every element. Alex B takes sound design to the level of intricate craftsmanship, where every detail is scrutinized and refined.
This is defiantly my favorite release from Alex B. It was released through Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label in October 09. The labels roster is looking HOT, and they are defiantly a label to keep your eyes on in '10.
