SSPB 014EP
|
Berlin-based DJ and producer Alex.Do is starting off the year 2020 for Seilscheibenpfeiler with a four track-EP called Amplified Music EP. As a constitutive member of the Dystopian crew he has actively helped forming a new kind of techno and house sound from Berlin, and his rare but recently increasing own releases (for example on Cologne's Magazine or Recondite's Plangent Records) display a stylistically very openminded and capable musician. And so does this EP, which ranges from a pair of warm and moody electro tracks on side A to mindboggling IDM on the flipside. "Maxituning" is brilliantly reverent of classic Squarepusher, Aphex, or ì-Ziq aesthetics and its enduring appeal. "Lebb251212" is a strange off-key exploration of sound, a strong counterbalance to the dancefloor focused material of the EP's first half and a manifestation of Alex.Do's many facets.

PLAN 011EP
|
On his newest record, Alex.Do shows his unique sensitivity for compelling grooves and atmospheres in the purest form we've seen from him so far. Four tracks that couldn't fit the artwork better on Alex's second release for Plangent Records -- the stamp displays the "Alexanders Plant" which has its habitat in shaded and sheltered areas. Just the musical mood of Plangent's eleventh issue.

MAGAZINE 020EP
|
A Berlin native who shaped his sense for techno by striving through his hometown and its infamous raves, Alex is now one of the prominent protagonists of that scene -- not only when regularly playing at Berghain. The EP harnesses this experience perfectly, fully preserving the energy of the creation process by recording directly to tape. Brutal yet beautiful techno tracks from a master.
