Description
2019, 12″, The Trilogy Tapes.
Alex is a brand new alias from the artist regularly known as Baba Stiltz – a Swedish producer whose quirky, off-kilter house and techno releases are rarely less than brilliant. His first Trilogy Tapes outing is suitably impressive. The real killer is “Samba”, an inspired nine minute workout in which he layers deep, woozy electric piano motifs, sun-kissed chords, child-like vocal samples and rich bass atop a swinging, samba fired techno beat. The deeper and more bass-heavy “Memo” is even more epic; a near 13-minute journey through sparse, crunchy, hypnotic and dubbed-out minimal house rhythms and exotic, snake charmer solos. In other words, it’s another top-notch EP from a producer who genuinely can do no wrong. – Juno
